The Waupaca Dental Society ("Waupaca Dental Society," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of our members, prospective members, event attendees, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how and why we use it, when we share it, how we protect it, and the rights and choices you have. It applies to our website at waupacadentalsociety.com (the "Site"), our member portal, and communications we send you, including email and text messages.
By using the Site or providing us with your information, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information you provide directly. We collect information you give us when you sign up for membership, create or update a member account, register for meetings or continuing-education courses, make a payment, contact our office, or otherwise interact with us. This may include your name, professional title and credentials, practice or organization name, mailing address, email address, telephone and mobile numbers, and any information contained in messages you send us.
Account and membership information. When you hold a member account, we maintain records such as your membership status, dues and payment history, event and course registrations, and your communication preferences.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. We collect this using cookies and similar technologies (see Section 3).
Information from third parties. We may receive limited information from payment processors, event partners, or dental organizations with which we collaborate, consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We use the information we collect to:
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, maintain the security of your session, and understand how the Site is used so we can improve it. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some features of the member portal may not function properly without them. We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.
If you provide your mobile number and check the consent box on our sign-up form, you consent to receive text messages from the Waupaca Dental Society, including account verification codes (2FA / one-time passcodes) and reminders for appointments, meetings, and events you have registered for. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time, or HELP for assistance. Consent to text messaging is not a condition of membership. See our SMS Terms & Conditions for full program details.
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
The mobile phone number and SMS consent of any end user who opts in to our text-messaging program will never be sold, rented, or shared with any third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for any purpose. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent is used solely to deliver the messages you have requested (account verification codes and reminders) and is expressly excluded from every category of information-sharing described in this Privacy Policy.
Membership dues and event fees are handled by third-party payment processors. We do not store full payment-card numbers on our servers. Your payment information is processed by the payment provider in accordance with its own security standards and privacy policy. We retain only the transaction records we need for accounting and membership administration.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites and resources that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain your membership, comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We retain records of SMS consent for the period required to document compliance. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encryption of the Site over HTTPS, access controls, and two-factor authentication for member accounts. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and limit access to authorized personnel.
The Site and our services are intended for dental professionals and other adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them. We do not track your activity across third-party websites for advertising purposes.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date, and where appropriate we will notify members.
