Electronic Information We Gather
We automatically gather information about your Practice computers or devices using the Animal Dental Chart application such as each computer or device name and the version of Animal Dental Chart installed. This is used in running our Animal Dental Chart application.
Choice/Opt-Out of Animal Dental Chart
You may choose to opt-out of using our Animal Dental Chart application at any time by contacting us at support@animaldentalchart.com. We can arrange to export your Practice data to another practice management application vendor. Of course, there would be a fee for this service.
Information Sharing
We will share your Practice registration information and Practice data with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy statement. We do not sell your Practice registration information or Practice data to third parties.
We provide your Practice registration information to PayPal that hosts payment processing for your subscriptions. This company is authorized to use your Practice registration information only as necessary to provide this service to us.
We may also disclose your Practice registration information and Practice data as required by law such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process investigating fraud or investigating a complaint of professional misconduct by a veterinary licencing body.
If ADC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via e-mail and/or a prominent notice on our ADC application of any change in ownership or uses of your Practice registration information and Practice data by a third party. You will be given choices for the transfer of your Practice registration information and Practice data in order to give prior consent.
To protect against fraud and misuse of our subscription services, we actively analyze each registration application and use of our subscription services to help us identify and block individuals suspected of misuse and/or fraudulent activity.
Third Party E-Commerce Solutions Provider
Your subscription to Animal Dental Chart interacts with PayPal, an established PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processing vendor via SSL links. This vendor hosts and collects your payment information for the purpose of processing your subscriptions to the Animal Dental Chart application. We encourage you to read the privacy statement and security policies for PayPal before providing your payment information.
We use this vendor to manage processing of payments, refunds, and updates of credit card numbers and expiration dates. We do not store credit card numbers and expiration dates for the Animal Dental Chart subscriptions on our servers.
Third parties are never allowed to mine or scrape your Practice registration information or Practice data, as these are kept private on enterprise class servers with world class data security.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
To prevent a potential privacy concern, we do not use cookies to track your previously entered Practice registration information on our website.
Links to Other Websites
Our site does include links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of ADC. If you submit information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policies of any website you visit.
Security
As for major banks, the ADC application will connect each computer, tablet, or device to world class servers over the web. Your data is securely transmitted over an encrypted connection (HTTPS/TLS) to our cloud platform, hosted in enterprise-grade data centers operated by Digital Ocean, a leading global cloud provider. The platform runs on redundant servers, so your service stays available even if one server fails, and each practice’s data is kept fully isolated from every other practice. Automated daily back-ups are performed and retained for 30 days. Our hosting provider's data centers are independently certified to industry security standards (SOC 2 and ISO 27001) with 24/7 physical security.
Access to your data is protected via login credentials that are forced to be random. This prevents bots which are automated malicious programs created by cybercriminals from guessing passwords by performing verb and numeric based attacks. Additionally, after 5 invalid attempts, access is suspended based upon the IP address of the offender. In summary, if external bots attempt to guess passwords to gain access, they will be banned by a commercial firewall.
World class security is also built in to every medical record created in ADC. Each medical record is saved on our servers and is time and date stamped with international time. It is also verified to have been digitally signed by Animal Dental Chart Inc. and that there has been no alteration of the file. This ensures all the medical records in ADC are legal documents, a requirement of veterinary licensing bodies.
If you have any questions about security of your Practice registration information and Practice data, you can contact us at support@animaldentalchart.com.

If we make any material changes, we will notify you by e-mail (sent to the Practice Director e-mail address used to register your Practice), or by means of a notice within the ADC application prior to the change becoming effective.
