Information submitted through a virtual consultation may include photographs, contact information, dental concerns, treatment interests, or other information you voluntarily provide.

Because photographs and consultation information may contain sensitive information, we encourage users to submit such information only through the designated consultation system rather than through ordinary email or general Website forms.

A virtual consultation or information provided through the Website is not intended to replace an in-person dental examination, diagnosis, or professional treatment recommendation when one is clinically necessary.

11. Email and Electronic Communications

If you provide us with your email address or other contact information, we may use that information to respond to your requests and communicate with you regarding appointments, services, administrative matters, or other communications you have requested or authorized.

We do not sell or provide mobile telephone numbers to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

13. Data Security

Nesloney Dental Studio takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
