Server Logs
In the normal course of establishing and maintaining web connections, our web servers automatically log information
about visits to our web site. This includes statistical information such as a visitor's IP address, type of operating
system, time and duration of visit, web pages requested, and the domain name of the server you are visiting from.
These statistics are made available to our web site management team to ensure it provides the optimal experience for
visitors.
The server log information collected does not enable us to identify individual visitors. However, we may review server
logs for security purposes (i.e. - detect intrusions into our network). The possibility therefore exists that server
log data, which contains a visitor's IP address, could in instances of criminal malfeasance be used to trace and
identify individuals. In these cases, raw data logs would be shared with the appropriate investigative body. Under
normal circumstances logs are retained for a maximum of 365 days.
Cookies
We may also place small data files, called cookies, in the browser file of your computer's hard drive. These cookies
automatically identify your browser to our server whenever you interact with our web site. Most browsers automatically
accept these cookies, however you can usually change your browser setting to prevent the acceptance of cookies.

Port Perry Dental Centre webmaster, Myplanet Network, you are sending information outside of the organization.

of information and are not covered by the Port Perry Dental Centre web site privacy policy.
Contact/Questions
In accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Port Perry Dental Centre has
appointed a Privacy Officer to oversee the collection and storage of any personal information obtained through normal
business practices. Questions about this policy may be directed to Cheryl Romeril by e-mail at smile@iluvmydentist.com, by phone at 905-985-8451, or by postal mail at 238 Queen St., Port
