This Privacy Policy explains how CDZ Ortho ("we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit www.cdzortho.com or contact us through it. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you complete a form, request a consultation, call, text or email us, we collect the details you choose to share, such as your name, phone number, email address and any message you include.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, ours uses cookies and similar technologies to collect basic technical information. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit, the time spent on them and the website that referred you.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• respond to your questions and requests
• schedule and confirm appointments and consultations
• send you information you have asked for
• understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• measure and improve our advertising

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Text messaging (SMS)

If you agree to receive text messages from us, we use your phone number to send messages related to your inquiry, appointments and care. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for help.

We will not share your text messaging opt-in or consent with any third party for marketing purposes. We may share your phone number with service providers who help us deliver text messages, such as messaging platforms and phone carriers, only so they can provide that service. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are never shared with third parties.

How we share information

We share information only with trusted service providers who help us operate our website and practice, such as website hosting, scheduling, communication and analytics providers. They may use it only to perform services for us. We may also disclose information when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our patients, our team or the public.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information you share with us. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
