At Jonathan Dental Spa, we are committed to protecting your personal health information. This HIPAA Privacy Policy explains how we handle your Protected Health Information (PHI), your rights under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and how you can exercise those rights.

Your health information is personal and confidential. We are required by federal and state laws to:

• Maintain the privacy of your health information
   
• Provide you with this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices
   
• Follow the terms of this notice currently in effect
   
• Notify you in the event of a breach of your unsecured PHI
   

We may use and disclose your PHI for the following purposes without your written consent:

To provide, coordinate, or manage your dental care. For example, we may share information with specialists, labs, or pharmacies.

To obtain payment for our services. For example, we may send information to your insurance company or billing service.

For quality assessment, staff training, auditing, and administrative purposes that support our ability to provide quality care.

We may contact you via phone, voicemail, text, or email to confirm appointments or provide information about treatment or follow-up care.

We will disclose your information when required to do so by federal, state, or local law (e.g., public health reporting, subpoenas, national security, law enforcement).

We will not use or disclose your PHI for marketing, fundraising, or sharing with third parties without your written authorization, except as allowed by HIPAA. If you authorize us, you may revoke that authorization at any time in writing.

Examples include:

• Sharing information with family members not involved in your care
   
• Using your information in testimonials or social media (with consent)
   
• Disclosures to third-party dental marketing or analytics providers
   

You have the following rights under HIPAA:

You may request copies of your dental records and other PHI. Requests must be in writing.

If you believe your records are inaccurate or incomplete, you may request a correction.

You may ask for a list of times we disclosed your PHI, except for treatment, payment, and operations.

You may request limitations on how we use or disclose your PHI. While we are not required to agree to all requests, we will comply when legally obligated.

You may request that we contact you at a specific phone number or address for privacy reasons.

You may request a printed copy of this notice at any time.

Jonathan Dental Spa takes your privacy seriously. We:

• Limit access to your PHI to only authorized team members
   
• Use secure systems for digital records, billing, and communication
   
• Regularly review and update our privacy practices
   
• Train our staff in HIPAA compliance
   

We reserve the right to update this policy at any time. Updates will be posted on our website and available in our office.
