At Orland Park Orthodontics (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website and office communications. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

The personal information we may collect includes:
- Name
- Phone number
We collect only the information necessary to communicate with you regarding appointments and important care-related matters.
SMS consent and phone numbers provided for text messaging are used only for appointment-related and care-related communications and are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

We use the information you provide only for legitimate office and patient communication purposes, including:

We do not use your personal information for unrelated purposes.

Your information is kept private and used only within our office for patient communication and care coordination.
We also confirm that your personal information is:
- Not shared with outside companies

4. No Marketing Use
We do not use your name or phone number for marketing purposes.
Your information will not be used for:

If we ever choose to offer optional promotional communications in the future, we would do so only with your separate and explicit consent.
5. Website Communications
If you contact us through our website, online form, or by phone, the information you submit will be used only to respond to your request and to assist with scheduling or important treatment-related communication.
Submitting information through our website does not authorize any unrelated use of your information.
6. Cookies and Website Usage Data
Our website may use standard website technologies such as cookies or basic analytics tools to help improve website functionality and performance. These tools may collect general technical information such as:
- Browser type
- Device type
- Pages visited
- General website usage patterns
This information is used only to improve the website experience and does not change our commitment not to sell or share your personal contact information.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to safeguard the information we collect and to help protect it from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
While no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we make reasonable efforts to protect the information provided to us.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our services may involve minors, but personal information submitted through the website should be provided by a parent or legal guardian when appropriate. We handle such information with care and only for treatment-related communication and scheduling purposes.
9. Your Choices
You may contact us at any time to:
- Update your contact information
- Ask questions about how your information is used
- Request that we stop contacting you for non-essential communications
Because we do not use your information for marketing, your information is already limited to appointment and care-related communication only.
