Effective November 13, 2026
This policy explains how My La Mirada Dentist (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and shares information through our website (mylamiradadentist.com), phone calls and text messages.
Health information we receive while caring for you, including anything you tell us by phone, form or text, is also protected by federal and California law and is handled as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. If this policy and that notice ever differ about your health information, the notice controls.
My La Mirada Dentist sends text messages for appointment scheduling, confirmations and reminders; reminders when you are due for routine care such as cleanings and checkups; rescheduling; and replies to questions and requests you send us. We do not send promotional or marketing texts.
You join by checking the text message box on our website’s contact form, by entering your wireless number in the “Text messages (optional)” box on our registration form, by checking the text message box when you book online, or by saying yes when our staff or phone assistant asks on a call. Texting is optional and is not a condition of receiving dental care, and you can reply STOP at any time. Our SMS Terms and Conditions explain each way of joining in detail.
We collect your wireless phone number, how and when you joined, the messages we exchange, and your opt-out choices. We use this information only to send these messages, respond to you and honor your messaging choices.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Message frequency varies with your appointments and requests. Message and data rates may apply. You can stop texts at any time by replying STOP, or by telling us in any other reasonable way, such as by text, by phone or by telling our staff. Reply HELP for help, or call us at (562) 445-3555.
Text messages are not encrypted and may appear on your phone’s lock screen. Please don’t send detailed health information by text; call us instead.
For full details, see our SMS Terms and Conditions.
Information you give us. When you call us, text us, send a message through our contact form, leave feedback, request an appointment or fill out a patient form, you may give us your name, contact details, date of birth, insurance details and information about your dental health and care. Messages sent through our contact and feedback forms are emailed to our office through our website host.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we and the third parties listed under Cookies, Analytics and Advertising below collect information such as your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, the website that referred you, ad campaign details, and identifiers stored in cookies.
Calls to My La Mirada Dentist may be answered by our automated phone assistant. Calls may be recorded and transcribed so we can schedule and manage appointments, keep accurate records, and improve our service. The assistant may ask whether you would like to receive text messages; it signs you up only if you clearly say yes, and it records your answer.
Online appointment requests and patient forms are provided through our patient-records software vendor’s secure website (patientviewer.com). Information you enter there becomes part of your dental record and is protected as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. The vendor’s “Terms and Conditions” and “Privacy Policy” links on those pages describe the vendor’s website; text messages from My La Mirada Dentist are governed by this policy and our SMS Terms and Conditions.
Our website uses cookies and similar tools from us and from third parties:
Google and Meta may combine information they collect on our website with other information they hold, under their own privacy policies. These tools do not receive what you type into our online scheduling or patient forms, which are hosted separately, but they may learn that a visit reached our booking confirmation page.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, manage Google ad personalization at myadcenter.google.com, install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), and manage ad preferences in your Facebook or Instagram settings. Our website does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
None of this changes our text messaging commitments above: no mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, and text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties.
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information. No method of sending information over the internet or by text message is completely secure. We keep information as long as needed for the purposes above and as long as the law requires us to keep dental records.
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from them. A parent or guardian should complete scheduling and forms for a minor patient.
To review or correct information you have given us through our website, or to ask a question about this policy, contact us using the details below. To see or change your dental records, see your rights in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page with a new effective date.
