Effective date: June 15, 2026
Vaksman Dental Group (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit drvaksman.com (the “Site”) or contact our South San Francisco dental office.
Health information and HIPAA
Protected health information you share as a patient is governed by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable California law, and is described in our separate Notice of Privacy Practices, available at our office. This website Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site and our general business and marketing activities, not to your clinical records.
Information we collect
- Information you give us — name, phone number, email, and any details you include when you submit a contact or appointment-request form or call us.
- Information collected automatically — IP address, browser/device type, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the Site, via cookies and similar technologies.
- Call information — we use a call-tracking service (CallRail) that may assign a phone number for measurement and may record or log calls for quality and marketing-attribution purposes.
How we use your information
- To respond to inquiries and schedule or confirm appointments;
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Site and our services;
- To measure marketing performance and reach you about relevant services where permitted;
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and analytics/advertising tools (which may include Google Analytics, the CallRail call-tracking script, and similar services) to understand Site usage and improve performance. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies; some features may not work if you do.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate the Site and practice (hosting, online scheduling, payment processing, analytics, call tracking) as needed, or when required by law.
Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the right to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information; to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise any right, contact us below. Information governed by HIPAA is handled under that framework and our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience, is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above.

This Privacy Policy is provided for general informational purposes and is not legal advice. Because dental practices are subject to both HIPAA and California privacy law, we recommend having it reviewed by qualified counsel.
