Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet Anti-spam service. The information we collect typically includes the commenter's IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

How We Use AI and Comply with Data Protection Laws

At BestDentalVacation and Mario Garita Dental Implants, your trust and privacy are our top priorities. We use advanced technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), to enhance your dental care experience—such as improving appointment scheduling, analyzing treatment plans, and personalizing patient communication. We are committed to safeguarding your personal information in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and emerging U.S. data privacy and AI laws.

What GDPR Means for You

The GDPR, a European Union regulation, sets a high standard for protecting your personal data, even if you're not in the EU. If we process any data related to EU residents (e.g., international patients), we ensure:

• Transparency: We clearly explain how your data, like contact details or treatment records, is used in our AI systems.
• Your Rights: You can access, correct, or request deletion of your data at any time.
• Security: We use robust safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access.

AI and U.S. Data Privacy Laws

While the U.S. does not yet have a federal AI law, states like California, Colorado, and Utah have introduced regulations to ensure AI is used responsibly. For example:

• California's Privacy Laws align with GDPR by requiring us to secure your data and allow you to opt out of certain automated processes, like profiling for marketing.
• Utah's AI Policy Act ensures we disclose when AI is used in patient interactions, such as chatbots on our website.
• Colorado's AI Act protects against bias in AI systems, ensuring fair treatment for all patients.

We comply with these laws by:

• Collecting only the data needed for your care (e.g., medical history or appointment preferences).
• Conducting risk assessments for AI tools to ensure they meet high privacy and safety standards.
• Providing clear options to opt out of automated processes, where applicable.

How We Protect You

Our practice integrates privacy by design, meaning our AI tools are built with your security in mind. Whether it's scheduling reminders or analyzing X-rays, we ensure your data is handled responsibly. For more details on your rights or how we use AI, please review our Privacy Policy.

At BestDentalVacation and Mario Garita Dental Implants, we're dedicated to using technology to improve your care while keeping your privacy first.
