OPT-OUT OF THE SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
NEAR ME DENTAL is committed to protecting the privacy rights of our users and healthcare providers, and as such NEAR ME DENTAL does not sell your personal information.
In order to help us improve our products, aggregate statistics, or to allow us to market our services to potential users, we may transfer some of your data, such as IP addresses or device IDs, to trusted third-party business partners and service providers. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), effective January 1, 2020 some of these ordinary data transfers to third parties could constitute a “sale” as broadly defined by the law.
Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. Although we do not sell our users’ or healthcare providers’ personal information, we are offering users and healthcare providers the ability to opt-out of the transfers of such data where those transfers may be considered “sales” under the CCPA. If you have a NEAR ME DENTAL account and you would like to opt-out, click here.
If you do not have a NEAR ME DENTAL account, you can opt-out of certain transfers of your IP address, device ID, or other forms of browsing data where such transfers may be considered “sales” under the CCPA. Click the check box below to opt-out for this current browsing session.
For more information regarding what data we collect and how it may be used, please see our PRIVACY POLICY.
