1. Introduction
MDT has established this Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us.
Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home.
We take your privacy concerns seriously and we strive to earn and keep your trust. Online privacy is a constantly evolving landscape and MDT plans to take reasonable efforts to maintain up-to-date and effective online privacy standards and practices. We have linked every page of our website to this Privacy Policy for your convenience. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions and concerns, you may either e-mail us at mail@MyDentalTrip.com or other methods of contact are provided below.
Our website is hosted in the United States of America and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our website from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring your Personal Information to us in the United States, and by using our website, you consent to that transfer and to abide by the applicable laws of applicable states and U.S. federal law concerning your use of the website and your agreements with us. Any persons accessing our website from any jurisdiction with laws or regulations governing the use of the Internet, including personal data collection, use and disclosure different from those of the jurisdictions mentioned above may only use the website in a manner lawful in their jurisdiction. If your use of our website would be unlawful in your jurisdiction, please do not use the website.
2. Our Promise to You
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not share your Personal Information, including your e-mail address, with other parties. We hate spam as much as you do, so we won't give your information to anyone without your prior consent.
3. Information We Collect
MDT has contracted with a third-party service provider to help track and analyze usage and volume statistics on this website. The third-party service provider does not collect Personal Information from website visitors, only general summaries of website activities. This information is used only to improve the website’s quality. This third-party service uses cookies and other tracking technologies (as explained below), neither of which contain personally identifiable information, to help in tracking and analyzing website usage information.
3.1 Cookies
Some of our website pages utilize "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect information about website activity. We use cookies for various purposes, including:
* to control ad delivery (for example, to limit the number of pop-up ads you see)
* to indicate your subscription status (to check whether or not you are signed in as a subscriber)
* to customize and enhance your experience
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once you close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following the Web browser help file directions.
A cookie may contain information that allows us to track your path through our website and to determine whether you have visited us before. Cookies cannot be used to read data off of your hard drive, and cannot retrieve information from any other cookies created by other websites. We use cookies in this manner to help us understand how visitors use our website, and to help us to improve our website. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.
Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. If you reject the cookie, you may still use our website. The only drawback to this is that you will be limited in some areas of our website. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Since cookies don't provide us with any information from which we can identify you, we suggest you allow us to place one on your computer.
3.2 Advertising
We may use outside ad companies to display ads on our website. Ads may contain cookies, and appear to be coming from our website, but in reality they are coming from our partners who are serving ads on our website. These companies may use aggregated statistics about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. The information they collect does not include your personally identifiable information. The third-party advertising companies may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of ads. This is primarily accomplished through the use of a Web beacon (a single-pixel GIF), which is placed on our website to collect anonymous information. They may use this anonymous information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. No personally identifiable information is collected during this process. The information is anonymous and does not link online actions to an identifiable person. Using a tool created by the Network Advertising Initiative, you can opt out of several third party ad servers’ and networks’ Web cookies simultaneously. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please follow the following link: http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Please contact us if you would like to know the identity of the third-party advertising companies we are currently using to serve ads.
3.3 Other Tracking Technologies
Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; click stream patterns; and dates and times that our website is accessed.
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Your IP address may vary each time you visit, or it may be the same, depending on whether you access our website through an always-on type of Internet connection (e.g., cable modem or DSL), or through a dial-up connection (e.g., AOL or EarthLink). Either way, it would be extremely difficult for us to identify you through your IP address, and we make no attempt to do so. If you reached our website by clicking on a link or advertisement on another website, then we also log that information. This helps us to understand the interests of our users. All of this information is collected and used only in the aggregate; that is, it is entered into our database, where we can use it to generate overall reports on our visitors, but not reports about individual visitors.
Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our website and your experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.
3.4 Unregistered Users
We encourage you to register with us in order to take advantage of MDT's many personalization features. However, you may choose not to register and take advantage of any feature of our website where registration is not required.
If you do not register, then the information we collect from you is limited, as outlined by the cookies and other tracking technologies information above.
3.5 Registered users
If you choose to register with us, you may be able to add content to our website. For example, you may post your own reviews, photographs and travel experiences and participate in our discussion forums. In addition, you will benefit from the ability to personalize your MDT website experience. The benefits of registering will increase over time as we get to know you better and introduce new features. We encourage you to register so that you can experience everything that MDT has to offer!
If you register with us, we will collect Personal Information from you in addition to the non-Personal Information described above. That Personal Information may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, dental records and history, travel preferences, user name and password. The information we collect may vary, but we only collect the information that you manually enter into our forms or otherwise upload. We may store all or some of that information in a cookie file on your hard drive and on our servers, so that our system will recognize you each time you visit our website. In that way, we can save your preferences from visit to visit and present you with a customized website, without requiring you to log into our website every time you visit.
To improve services and enhance personalization, we may periodically obtain information about you from other independent third-party sources and add it to your registration information. Additionally, authorized MDT personnel may update your registration information to accurately reflect any new information included in communications received from you.
3.6 Your Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to MDT. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of MDT's websites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you.
4. How we use the Personal Information we collect.
We do not provide to third parties any Personal Information you provide when using MDT except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise notified to you. MDT is the sole owner of the information collected on this website.
We use the Personal Information we collect to help both of us! As we mentioned above, registering with us allows you to personalize our website so that it is most useful to you. It also allows you to log into our website automatically each time you visit, rather than manually typing your user name and password every time. We may also use this information to periodically contact you with news or important information from MDT or to request your feedback on our website. In addition to these periodic updates, we may email you additional materials, but only if you specifically request them. These might include opt-in newsletters and other materials that you proactively request from MDT.
We may also use certain information that you provide in order to present you with advertising that you may find interesting. This benefits both of us. It benefits us because advertising helps pay the bills, and we can charge our advertisers more if they know that their ads will be seen by somebody more likely to find it useful. It benefits you because you see advertising that may actually be interesting to you, rather than annoying.
We may disclose Personal Information under the following circumstances:
- Dental Services Providers. When you request from us to receive bids on dental services, you are expressly authorizing us to transfer your Personal Information, including dental records and history, to members of our dental services network, and you are authorizing such members of our dental services network to contact you with information and pricing on their dental services. Additionally, if you are a member of our dental services network, you are expressly authorizing us to transfer your Personal Information to any of our users requesting dental services to be performed in the geographic area where your services are generally provided.
- Travel Services. When you request information on travel services, you are expressly authorizing us to transfer your Personal Information to members of our travel services network, and you are authorizing such member of our travel services network to contact you with information and pricing.
- By Law or to Protect Rights. When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms and Conditions of Use or other agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
- Marketing Communications. Unless users opt-out from receiving our marketing materials upon registration, we may email users about products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. If a user wishes to opt-out of receiving marketing materials from us at any time after registration, users may do so by going to your account settings or contacting us using the contact information below.
- Third Party Service Providers. We may share your Personal Information with our authorized service providers that perform certain services on our behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, performing services offered through our website, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, supporting our website functionality, and supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through our website. We may also share your name, contact information and credit card information with our authorized service providers who process credit card payments. These service providers may have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purpose.
- Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. We reserve the right to transfer all Personal Information in our possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of our assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred Personal Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given notice of that new privacy policy and are given an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it. Personal Information submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.
5. Communications from the Website
We do not send unsolicited e-mail. If you are receiving e-mail from us, it is because at some point you, or someone with access to your e-mail account, requested or consent to receive it. You can always opt out of any e-mail we send you simply by following the instructions that appear at the bottom of the e-mail message in question. If you are receiving e-mail from us in response to an inquiry you made, you can rest assured that we will use your e-mail address for no purpose other than to respond to your inquiry.
5.1 Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice/Opt-out sections.
5.2 Newsletters
If you have signed up for our newsletters we may use your Personal Information to send you notifications about special offers or to tell you about opportunities available from our partners. Although we do not want you to miss any great travel deals, you can always opt-out of any newsletter we send. Please see the Choice/Opt-out sections.
5.3 Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance or there are changes to our services we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
5.4 Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email.
5.6 Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our website, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. MDT will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the website. MDT stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. The friend may contact MDT at mail@MyDentalTrip.com to request the removal of this information from our database.
6. Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not directly related to the Service at the point where we ask for information.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the instructions that appear at the bottom of the e-mail message in question or email us at mail@MyDentalTrip.com and placing the newsletter name and your username in the subject of the e-mail.
You can cancel your registration with us by e-mailing mail@MyDentalTrip.com, and placing your email address in the subject of the e-mail. We will send you an e-mail to confirm your request. After we receive confirmation, we will remove your information from our active database, but some information may remain in our archives.

7. Collection And Use Of Information By Third Parties Generally
Company contractually prohibits its contractors, affiliates, vendors and suppliers from disclosing Personal Information received from us, other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy, however, with respect to Personal Information that users provide directly to those third parties or that those third parties collect for themselves. These third parties include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets and a variety of other third party applications accessible through the website. We neither own nor control the third-party websites and applications accessible through the website. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third-party, or using a third party application, whether by means of a link on the website, directly through the website, or otherwise, and before providing any Personal Information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website or application, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.
8. Security
MDT makes reasonable efforts to maintain the security of your account information, and has reasonable security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information stored in our system. For example, we limit access to Personal Information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information. We also employ processes (such as password hashing, login auditing, and idle session termination) to protect against unauthorized access to your Personal Information. However, information transmitted over the internet is never 100% secure and there is no way for us to guarantee the security of your Personal Information.
The Website encrypts sensitive information such as your credit card number and your Personal Information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology to provide for the secure transmission of the information from your computer to our servers. For more information about the security measures we use in connection with the website, please contact us using the contact information found below.
9. Children's Privacy
This website is a general audience website, and we do not knowingly collect information about children.

If you are under 18 years old please do not use this website.
10. Privacy Policy Updates
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of the Privacy Policy at any time. We encourage you to check the Privacy Policy to remain informed of any changes. If we make material changes that will affect Personal Information we have already collected from you, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the changes and to give you the opportunity to amend or cancel your registration.
