Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 2026

Northside Dental ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the limited information our website handles, the trusted outside providers that process appointment requests and payments, how we use cookies and analytics, and how your health information is protected at our practice.

About this website

The Northside Dental website is an informational resource. It shares details about our practice, our team, and the dental services we offer. The website itself does not create or store dental records, and it is not where your care is managed. Your treatment and clinical records are kept in our secure office systems.

What information does this website handle?

You can browse our website without giving us any personal information. When you choose to contact us or use a feature that asks for details (such as your name, phone number, or email address), you provide that information yourself. Our website also works with a limited amount of standard technical information, such as the pages you view, so that the site loads correctly and so we can understand overall traffic. See the sections below and our Cookie Policy for more.

Appointment requests and patient forms

Our appointment request and new patient intake forms are provided by Weave, an outside service, and open in a new browser tab on Weave's own website (forms.wv3.io). Any information you enter into those forms is submitted directly to that service and to our practice, and it is handled under Weave's privacy practices and our own office privacy practices. It is not collected or stored by this website. Please avoid including detailed health information in a general message; you can share medical details securely with our team at your visit.

Online payments

If you pay a balance online, you are taken to a secure payment portal hosted by our payment processor, CardPointe (CardConnect). Your card details are entered on that processor's secure page. This website does not process, see, or store your payment card information.

Cookies and analytics

Like most websites, ours uses cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies that are necessary for the site to work, along with privacy-respecting analytics that help us understand aggregate traffic (for example, which pages are most visited) so we can improve the site. This does not identify you personally. Some pages also include content from other companies, such as an embedded Google Map on our Visit pages and Google Fonts for typography, and those companies may set their own cookies. You can control cookies through your browser at any time. For details, please read our Cookie Policy.

How do we use the information?

We use the limited information described above to respond to your questions, to help you request or confirm an appointment, to process a payment you choose to make, and to keep our website working well and improving over time.

Do we sell your information?

No. Northside Dental does not sell your personal information. We do not rent or trade it either. We share information only with the service providers that make our website and patient tools work (such as those noted above), and only as needed to provide those services or to comply with the law.

Your health information (HIPAA)

As a dental practice, we take the privacy of your health information seriously. Protected health information is handled through our secure clinical systems and is covered by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, which is available at our office. This website is not the place to share health information. Please do not send medical or dental details through general website messages or email. Our team will gather that information securely during your visit or through our protected patient tools.

Children's privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website. Parents and guardians who complete forms on behalf of a child do so through our practice and our forms provider.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website or to the services we use. When we do, we will revise the effective date shown above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
