How and Why We Collect Data  

With your consent, we collect Data that you provide to us manually (for example, if you join our email list  by opting in for a free resource). Our legal basis for collecting this Data is your consent.  

The Data we collect is used to create and administer your account, generate a personalized profile for you,  compile statistics on site use, analyze trends, correspond with you, deliver targeted advertising, process  payments, refunds, deliver any goods or services you purchase, communicate new products and services  we think you might be interested in, update you on products and services, request feedback from you,  resolve and troubleshoot disputes and problems, prevent fraudulent use of our Website, and assist law  enforcement when necessary. Our legal basis for collecting this Data is our legitimate interests in  monitoring and improving our Website, business operations, marketing efforts, and proper protection of  our business against risks. 

Use of Cookies and Pixels 

Similar to other commercial websites, our Website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” and  server logs to collect information through Automatic Data Collection Technology about how our site is used. A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. We may use  session cookies that expire when you close your browser and persistent cookies that remain on your  computer until you delete them. You can accept or decline cookies in your web browser settings. No  personal identifiable information will be included in cookies and, other than the methods described above,  we will not use any other mechanisms to capture data on our Website.  

To obtain statistical data and to provide you with relevant information, we also may collect data on the way  you use our Website including your browsing activity, browsing patterns, IP address, device information,  internet connection, and other actions via Google Analytics and Facebook Pixels. We use these technologies  in compliance with all policies of the third-party providers. Our legal basis for collecting this information is  our legitimate interests in monitoring and improving our Website, business operations, marketing efforts,  and proper protection of our business against risks. 

Email Information  

If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages  together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic  communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received online, via mail, and via  telephone.  

How Long Your Information Will Be Stored  

We use reasonable measures to ensure that your information remains confidential at all times. Personal  Data is stored through a data management system. For as long as you choose to remain on our email list,  we will retain a minimum amount of personal Data including your name, email address and your behavior  on our Website. Any additional personal Data will be retained as long as necessary to fulfill legal obligations,  resolve disputes, or as reasonably determined. 

Information Protection and Security  

We use commercially reasonable methods to safeguard the personal Data you provide to us and the  personal Data we collect automatically. We use reasonable online security measures and reputable third party vendors that are compliant with generally accepted security and safety measures, including a Secure  Sockets Layer (SSL) on our Website to help secure information. Please note that we cannot guarantee that  all information transferred will be secure and, if we become aware of a data breach, we will notify the  necessary parties in a timely manner of all the information we have. 

By using our Website or Services, you agree that, should your information be intercepted in this way  without our knowledge, consent, or permission, you will hold SMILE Therapy Services, LLC (including, its  owner(s), employees and subsidiaries) harmless, including a release of any and all claims related to the use  of such information by such an unauthorized party. 

Due to the nature of our business and information collection activities, we have determined that we do not  process sensitive data on a large scale, nor do our core activities involve processing operations that require  regular or systematic monitoring of data subjects. For these reasons, we have concluded it is not necessary  to appoint a Data Protection Officer. Nonetheless, please submit all questions or comments about our  policy to the contact information located at the end of this document. 

Disclosure of Your Information to Others  

For very limited purposes, like legal assistance, accounting, or technical support, we may share your  confidential information with necessary third parties. When that happens, any parties who accesses your  information will keep your information confidential. To the best of our ability, we will not share your Data  with any unnecessary parties. If, in good faith, we determine that disclosure of your information is  necessary to protect the rights of our business or comply with the law, prevent or mitigate a crime, or  protect the rights or safety of our other website users, we may do so. We may also disclose necessary  information in the event of a sale of SMILE Therapy Services, LLC.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)  

This section provides additional details about California consumers and the rights afforded to them under  the California Consumer Privacy Act or (“CCPA”). Under CCPA “Personal Information” is defined as anything  that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of being associated with or could reasonably be linked,  directly or indirectly, with a particular California consumer household. In the last 12 months, we may have  collected the following categories of personal information subject to the CCPA:  

• identifiers (such as email address and IP address),  

• approximate geolocation information,  

• Internet or other electronic network activity information (such as browsing history and related  usage data).  

We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described above. We do not sell (as  such term is defined in the CCPA) the personal information we collect (and will not sell it without providing  you with a right to opt out).  

The CCPA requires opt-in consent to information use for minors under the age of 16 and verified parental  consent for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or process the information of  children. 

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California residents the right to request, free of charge, to  know more details about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect (including how  we use and disclose this information), to delete their personal information, to opt out of any “sales” that  may be occurring, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. 

California consumers may make a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by contacting us at info@smiletherapyservices.com. We will verify your request using the information associated with your  account, by asking you to provide information that matches information we have on file about you. You  can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf, but we will require proof  that the person is authorized to act on your behalf and may also still ask you to verify your identity with us  directly. 

GDPR Compliance and Privacy Shield Notice  

If you are within the European Union, you are entitled to certain information and have certain rights under  the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). To comply with the GDPR, we confirm that we have  lawful grounds for processing the information we collect from you and a legitimate interest to respond to  user inquiries. At any time, you may request that your information be deleted or edited. No sensitive  personal data is collected. To the best of our ability, we have researched and concluded that all third-party  data processors we use are also compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations. 

If you reside in the EU, we may collect and transfer your Data to the U.S. only with your consent, to perform  a contract with you, or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of SMILE Therapy Services, LLC. Whenever  appropriate and feasible, we enter into model clauses and data processing agreements with vendors to  protect and maintain your privacy.
