Privacy Policy
All State of Arizona WEB sites are required to contain a Privacy
Policy Statement to inform you about the information that could be
collected online as a result of visiting or requesting a service, how
that information will be used, and what steps are being taken to
ensure the security of customer data. Your rights to privacy are of
utmost importance to the State of Arizona in building trust and
confidence when conducting business through the Internet.
Online Customer Service and Alternatives
Arizona Dental Board offers access to its public information online
that you might otherwise request in person. Our goal is to provide
citizens with a more convenient and efficient means in which to
interact with Arizona government. If at any time you choose not to
proceed with a transaction offered online, your choice will in no way
affect your ability to receive benefits or services another way. If
you prefer to request information from us in person, you may still do
so at our office.
Collection and Use of Information
Information Collected and Stored Automatically by Cookies
We do not use "cookies" to gather information during your visit unless
we are conducting a survey and need them to prevent duplicate results.
The web server that hosts the Arizona Dental Board site does gather
certain information about the visit automatically in a standard log
file. This information never identifies you personally and consists of
only the following items:
- The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a
private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you
connect from a university's domain) from which you access the
website;
- The IP address (an IP address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing
the Web) from which you access the website; and
- The date and time of your access
We use this information to gather statistics about the amount of
use the site receives. Again, we do not automatically record
information about you as an individual. This information is not
shared, sold, or otherwise disseminated by Arizona Dental Board.
When, from time to time, we present a survey page on the site, use
of cookies is limited to the minimum function necessary to prevent
duplication of survey results from that page. A cookie is only
transmitted at the time you submit the survey to us and consists
of a unique text string to be stored on your computer and only
retrieved in the event you return a subsequent survey to us. You
can always avoid receiving the cookie by not submitting the survey
to us. You can also refuse the cookie or delete the cookie file
from your computer system by selecting various options on your
computer's operating system. Refer to your browser's help facility
for the specific instructions about deleting, disabling, or
refusing cookies.
Information You Provide
Arizona Dental Board does not provide any benefits or services to
the public that require entry of personal information online,
apart from an occasional and totally optional survey.
Survey-related information will be treated in the same manner as
any contact information you might otherwise volunteer (see
"Contact Information" below for details).
Information Collected from Children
Though Arizona Dental Board does not specifically request
information from children, as a State agency we would comply with
the Children's Online Privacy Policy Protection Act of 1998
("COPPA"), requiring parental consent before we collected any
personal information from an individual under the age of 13. The
text of COPPA is available at http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm.
Security
Arizona Dental Board and its consultants have taken several steps
to safeguard the integrity of its computer systems and networks.
These steps include, but are not limited to, individual
authentication, the security of transmitted data, security
monitoring, auditing, and encryption of information.
Other External Links Disclaimer
Arizona Dental Board web pages contain links to various other web
sites operated by other government agencies, nonprofit
organizations, and private businesses. When you link to another
site, you are no longer on the Arizona Dental Board site and this
Privacy Statement will not apply to other sites. When you link to
another web site, you are subject to the privacy policy of that
new site. Links to web sites outside of State government are
offered solely for your convenience. No State of Arizona agency is
responsible for or has control over the policies or content of any
third-party sites.
Neither the State of Arizona, nor any agency, officer, employee,
or contractor of the State of Arizona warrants the accuracy,
reliability, or timeliness of any information published by this
system, nor endorses any content, viewpoints, products, or
services linked from this system, and shall not be held liable for
any losses caused by reliance on the accuracy, reliability or
timeliness of such information. Portions of such information may
be inaccurate or outdated. Any person or entity that relies on any
information obtained from this system does so at his or her own
risk.
Privacy Policy Statement Is Subject To Change
This policy may be updated or revised from time to time, so please
check back periodically in order to receive advance notice of any
substantive changes to the manner in which the information you
disclose on this web site may be collected, used, or disseminated.
