Information We May Collect About You
The information we collect via our Web site is used to improve the content of ladental.org and advance the LDA’s mission.
For each visitor to our Web site, our Web server automatically recognizes only the user’s domain name, but not the e-mail address (where possible).
We collect the domain name and internet protocol (IP) address of visitors to our Web site, aggregate information on what pages users access or visit, user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, and information volunteered by users, including from surveys, purchases and/or registrations. We also may collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail.
With respect to cookies: We use cookies for a number of purposes, including to administer our web site and to record session information, such as items that users add to their shopping cart and user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, and to ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads.
How We May Use Information We Collect
The LDA, its subsidiaries and affiliates may use your contact information to alert you to new information, products and services, events and other member benefits. From time to time, we may also make your contact information available to other reputable organizations whose products or services we think you might find interesting.
The LDA maintains a directory of dentists that may include information you submit via our web site. This directory is shared with the ADA and local dental societies. A subset of this directory, containing information about LDA members, is publicly accessible on ladental.org.
A particular LDA subsidiary or affiliate may have certain privacy policies that differ from those noted here, which will be indicated on its specific portion of ladental.org or its own site.
Your Rights
To help us keep our promise to respect your privacy, it is important when you wish to exercise your rights that you contact us via any of the means listed in the first section of this Privacy Policy.
If you do not want to receive e-mail, postal mail, telephone calls or faxes from us in the future, or if you do not want us to share your contact information in the manner described above, please provide us with your exact name, e-mail and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers and, if appropriate, ADA membership number. We will no longer use information you so identify and secured via ladental.org if that is your wish. While we will continue to share information we maintain about you with the ADA and local dental societies, we will do our best to be sure any other specific contact information you so identify is removed from any list we share with other organizations.
On request we provide site visitors who can verify their identity with access to all information that we may maintain about them, including financial information (e.g., credit card account information), unique identifier information (e.g., user/member number or password), transaction information (e.g., dates on which users made purchases, amounts and types of purchases), communications that the visitor has directed to our site (e.g., e-mails, user inquiries), and contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number).
On request we also offer visitors the ability to have inaccuracies corrected in contact information, financial information, unique identifiers, transaction information and communications that the visitor has directed to the site.
You may also contact us if you believe your information is being used for purposes other than those for which it was originally collected.
