PRIVACY
All of us at T.P. Orthodontics guard your personal
information as zealously as we guard our own. When you visit a
T.P. Orthodontics Web site, you can be assured that your
confidential information will remain private and not be shared
with anyone without your permission.
The T.P. Orthodontics Web sites do not collect personally
identifiable information regarding the users of its Web site
unless such information is voluntarily provided by the user.
We will not disclose your individual identity or personally
identifiable information without your prior consent except as
required by law. The Web sites of T.P. Orthodontics do not
contain or collect any personally identifying information, but
will collect information regarding the usage patterns
associated with the user's personal computer.
Information tracked is primarily used to improve and
update the site and to provide site-traffic data, and is only
made available on an aggregate basis for the sole purpose of
providing information to the creators of this Web site.
Voluntarily disclosed personally identifiable information may
be used to track purchase orders, shipping requests, and the
processing of your orders.
This policy does not protect information you post to any
online bulletin board, chat room, links to other Web sites or
other public forum within our site. You should be aware that
when you voluntarily disclose personal information (e-mail
address, medical conditions, etc.) on bulletin boards or in
chat areas, that information can be collected and used by
others and may result in unsolicited messages from other
participants or parties.
We use the best security technology available.
Customers using credit cards at TP's Web site can be
confident that their sensitive information is being
transmitted safely and securely. TP has installed a Secure
Server ID which is displayed as the seal here. What you see
after double clicking on the Verisign logo is TP's digital
certificate. A digital certificate is the electronic
equivalent of a business license. In physical transactions,
the challenges of identification, authentication, and
privacy are solved with physical marks, such as seals or
signatures. In electronic transactions, the equivalent of
this seal must be coded into a digital certificate. This
seal proves that all data exchanges with our server are
encrypted and/or altered.
By using advanced cryptography, TP has worked with the
Verisign company to create the most secure communications
channel for customers placing orders over the Internet to
T.P. Orthodontics.
This is just another example of how TP intends to develop
our online presence, with the same principles that have
guided us for nearly 60 years -- trust, security, service
and, innovation.
We protect your personal information.
T.P. Orthodontics' online catalog is password protected
and our Web site is protected behind an advanced firewall
which prevents unauthorized users from accessing your
information. TP does not and will not ever sell your name
and other information to retailers.
History is demonstrating that online transactions
are safe.
Thousands of merchants and consumers alike have processed
millions of dollars in online transactions this year alone.
