Web Site Privacy Statement
Dental On-Hold has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following
discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for our web site.
During a visit to our web site, http://www.dentalonhold.net/, your privacy is respected. We do not collect personal
information about you unless you send us an e-mail, submit a Contact Form, or update your newsletter subscription,
in which case you provide your name and information voluntarily. This information is protected under the federal
privacy act.
Visitors' personal information received via e-mail or a Contact Form is provided only to employees of Dental On-Hold
and the Dental On-Hold webmaster, who require this information to respond to inquiries. We do not use this information
for any other purpose.
We cannot guarantee the security of information sent via electronic systems or e-mail, and do not recommend you send
sensitive personal information (such as credit card or confidential medical history) electronically at this time.
E-mail Mailing List / Newsletter
A visitor's personal information related to a subscription to one of our e-mail newsletters is contained in a database.
This information may be made available to employees of Dental On-Hold or to the Dental On-Hold webmaster for the purpose
of maintaining our e-mail newsletter system and to send periodic mailings. We do not use this information for any other
purpose. You may remove yourself from our e-mail newsletter by sending a message to webmaster@dentalonhold.net with the subject
'Dental On-Hold E-mail List Removal'.
When a subscriber to our e-mail newsletter opens an issue in their e-mail client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) or
browser (via a service such as Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail) this action is detected by our mailing list script. This information
cannot be used to identify individual subscribers, only to determine the overall number of times an issue has been read
relative to the number of subscribers it was sent to.

Server Logs
In the normal course of establishing and maintaining web connections our web servers automatically log information about
visits to our web site. This includes statistical information such as a visitors' IP address, type of operating system,
time and duration of visit, web pages requested, and the domain name of the server you are visiting from. These statistics
are made available to our web site management team (including Dental On-Hold employees and the Dental On-Hold webmaster)
to ensure our web site provides the optimal experience for visitors.
The server log information collected does not enable us to identify visitors. However, we may review server logs for
security purposes (i.e. - detect intrusions into our network). The possibility therefore exists that server log data,
which contains a visitors' IP address, could in instances of criminal malfeasance be used to trace and identify individuals.
In these cases, raw data logs would be shared with the appropriate investigative body. Under normal circumstances logs
are retained for a maximum of 365 days.
Cookies
When a web site visitor signs in to the e-mail newsletter we may place a small data file, called a cookie, in the browser
file of your computer's hard drive. These cookies automatically identify your browser to our server whenever you interact
with our web site. Most browsers automatically accept these cookies, however you can usually change your browser settings
to prevent the acceptance of cookies.
Other Notes
Dental On-Hold utilizes an outside organization to develop and maintain its web site. By contacting the Dental On-Hold
webmaster, Myplanet Network, you are sending information outside the institution.
The Dental On-Hold web site may contain links to other web sites not hosted at the web address of http://www.dentalonhold.net/.
These web sites may have different policies for the collection and dissemination of information and are not covered by the
Dental On-Hold web site privacy policy.
Contact / Questions
Questions about this policy may be directed to the Dental On-Hold privacy contact. You may contact Bob Lacey by phone at
866-233-7464 or by postal mail at 110 Saunders Rd., #3, Barrie, ON, CA, L4N 9A8.
