Privacy policy
Privacy policy.
Last updated: April 28, 2026
Note: this is a starting policy and is intended to be reviewed by counsel before the site goes live. It describes current site behavior in good faith but does not yet substitute for a full HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Who we are
Dental Salon is a family-owned dental practice with offices in Lincoln Park (Chicago) and Schaumburg, Illinois. This policy applies to https://dentalsalon.com and to information you submit through this website.
What we collect
- Information you submit. When you fill out the contact form or email us, we collect what you choose to send, typically your name, email, phone number, preferred location, and the details of your message.
- Basic site analytics. Standard server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps) and aggregated, privacy-respecting analytics about pages visited and interactions, used only to improve the site.
- No tracking pixels for advertising. We do not currently set third-party advertising or retargeting cookies on this site.
How we use it
- To respond to your inquiry, schedule an appointment, or follow up on a question.
- To improve the website, fix bugs, and understand which content is useful.
- To meet legal, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations as a healthcare provider.
How we share it
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with vendors who help us operate the site and the practice (for example, our website host, our scheduling provider, and our payment processor) — and only as needed to provide their service to us. Those vendors are contractually required to protect your information.
Health information (HIPAA)
If you are a patient of Dental Salon, your protected health information (PHI) is also covered by HIPAA. The website is not the place to send detailed medical history. For questions about how we handle PHI, ask the front desk for our full Notice of Privacy Practices, or call the office where you are seen.
How we protect it
- All traffic to the website is encrypted in transit using HTTPS.
- Patient records are stored in HIPAA-aligned systems with access controls and audit trails.
- Form submissions are validated server-side and protected against common abuse patterns.
Your choices
- Opt out of communications.Reply "unsubscribe" to any email or call the office and we'll remove you.
- Request a copy of your records. Patients may request a copy of their records from the office where they are seen.
- Ask us to delete your information. Where allowed by law (some records must be retained), we will honor deletion requests.
Children
The website is not directed to children under 13. We see pediatric patients in our offices through their parents or guardians.

We will update the "Last updated" date when we change this policy. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
