Your family’s privacy matters to us.

Effective date: October 10, 2026

Iowa Kids Pediatric Dentistry (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and your child’s privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information through our website, iowakidsdds.com (the “Site”). It applies to information collected online. How we use and protect your child’s dental and health records is described in our separate Notice of Privacy Practices, provided under HIPAA.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact form: name, email, phone number, and the message you send.
• Appointment requests and online payments: parent or guardian name, contact details, your child’s name and date of birth, appointment preferences, and payment details. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card numbers on our Site.
• Patient forms: new-patient, medical history, and consent forms submitted through our secure HIPAA-compliant form provider (Hipaatizer).
• Email newsletter: your name and email address if you choose to subscribe.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring website, and time spent on pages, using cookies and similar technologies such as Google Analytics and advertising or tracking pixels.

Protected health information

Health information you submit through our secure patient forms or booking system is protected health information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). We handle PHI as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices and use only vendors who have signed Business Associate Agreements with us.

Please do not send health information through our general contact form or by regular email. Those channels are not designed for sensitive health information. Use our secure patient forms or call our office instead.

We do not use analytics or tracking tools on pages where patient health information is entered, and we do not share PHI with advertising platforms.

How we use information

• To respond to your questions and requests
• To schedule, confirm, and remind you of appointments
• To process payments
• To prepare for your child’s visit and provide dental care
• To send newsletters and office updates you’ve signed up for
• To understand how visitors use the Site and improve it
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

How we share information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only with:

• Service providers that help us run the Site and our practice, such as website hosting, form, scheduling, payment, email, and analytics providers, who may use it only to provide services to us
• Other health care providers or insurers, as permitted by HIPAA and described in our Notice of Privacy Practices
• Legal authorities, when required by law or to protect the safety of patients, staff, or others

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the Site working, remember your preferences, and measure traffic. Google Analytics helps us understand Site usage; you can learn more or opt out at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work properly.

Email communications

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. We may still send messages about appointments, billing, or your child’s care.

Children’s privacy

Our Site is intended for parents and guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the Site. Information about a child is provided by a parent or guardian for the purpose of scheduling and providing care. If you believe a child has submitted information to us directly, please contact us and we will delete it.

How we protect information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encrypted (SSL) connections and HIPAA-compliant vendors for patient forms. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have provided through the Site, subject to our legal and record-keeping obligations. Rights related to your child’s dental records are described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.

Third-party links

Our Site may link to other websites, such as insurance providers or social media. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with a new effective date.
