As a patient (former, potential and current), patient’s parent/guardian or visitor of any of our Sites, the personal information we gather from your use of our Sites or provided by you may be used:

This data is only for our efforts, and we do not share your personal information with other businesses for them to use it for purposes other than their work with us.
Who we share your personal information with
We may partner with other businesses to assist us in our marketing, communications, and sales efforts, and may share personal information about you for these purposes where you have given us consent to do so or where permitted by law. These partners are not allowed to use your personal information for any purpose other than doing business with Beerwah Dental.
In addition, any information we collect, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, or similar transaction, as well as in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information could be transferred to third parties as one of our business assets.
We may also disclose personal information about you if we believe that doing so is legally required or is necessary to protect our property or other legal rights (including but not limited to enforcement of our agreements or the rights of property of others).

Also, you may have the opportunity to share your personal information with other websites, such as social media sites. We may provide a convenient link to let you do this easily, but we are not responsible for – and we cannot control – their website or your posts/sharing. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies and personal information collection practices of these other websites and social media sites.
Marketing and Do Not Contact
We may send you information about us from time to time if you have given us your consent (where required).
Beerwah Dental provides you the opportunity to request to stop receiving electronic communications from either Beerwah Dental or our partners by withdrawing your consent. If you do not want to receive communications from us, you may use the convenient unsubscribe feature included with emails. Please allow us time to process your request.
Keep in mind, this withdrawal of consent does not apply to necessary communications, such as responding to an inquiry, and is revoked if you later request information from us (e.g. if you subsequently sign-up to receive news alerts from us).
