Who we are
At Middle Tennessee Prosthodontics, we value the privacy of our visitors and are committed to protecting your personal data. Below is an outline of how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website, https://www.tennesseedentalcare.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
Some pages on our website may include images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). While we take care to minimize this risk, visitors to the site should be aware that it may be technically possible to extract location data from media files displayed on the website. We recommend exercising caution when interacting with downloadable content.
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.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share limited data with trusted service providers who assist in operating our website, such as spam detection services or website analytics tools. These providers are required to keep your information confidential and use it only to perform their specific functions.
If you request a password reset, for example, your IP address may be included in the reset email as part of our security measures. In all cases, we limit data sharing to what is necessary to protect our users and maintain the functionality and security of our 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.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service to help keep our site secure and ensure quality engagement.
