Privacy
Policy

Effective date: 10/29/26

Happy KiDDS Pediatric Dentistry ("we," "our," or "us") provides pediatric dental care at our Manhasset, Brooklyn, and North Fork offices in New York. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and our communications with you, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Health Information and HIPAA

Protected health information we receive in connection with providing dental care is governed by federal and state health privacy laws, including HIPAA, and by our Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at our offices. This Privacy Policy covers information collected through this website and our scheduling and customer-service communications; it does not replace our Notice of Privacy Practices.

Information We Collect

When you contact us or request an appointment, we may collect:

• Contact information - your name, phone number, email address, and preferred office location.

• Appointment details - information you share with us about scheduling and the reason for your visit.

• Communication records - records of your phone calls, text messages, emails, and website form submissions with us.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Respond to your inquiries and appointment requests.

• Schedule, confirm, and send reminders about appointments.

• Assist with insurance benefits checks and billing you have requested.

• Follow up about scheduled visits and recommended checkups.

Text Messaging (SMS) Program

If you provide your mobile number and agree to receive text messages from us, through a form on our website or verbally during a phone call, we may text you about your inquiry, appointment scheduling, confirmations and reminders, and follow-ups related to scheduled visits. Our messaging program is intended for parents and legal guardians.

• Message frequency may vary.

• Message and data rates may apply.

• Opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, or reply HELP for assistance.

Consenting to receive text messages is voluntary and is not a condition of receiving care or any other services from us.

No Sharing of Mobile Information

We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

We share your information only with service providers who help us operate our practice, such as scheduling, communication, and payment platforms, and only so they can perform those services on our behalf. These providers are not permitted to use your information for their own marketing.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and messaging program are intended for use by parents and legal guardians. We do not knowingly collect information online from children under 13; information about our pediatric patients is provided to us by a parent or guardian in connection with dental care.

Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, and we keep it only as long as needed to serve you and meet our legal, professional, and record-keeping obligations.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with its effective date.
