This Privacy Policy explains how Mira Kaga MD LLC, doing business as The Kaga Institute, and Maha K Kaga DMD LLC, doing business as TKI The Dental Suite (together “TKI,” “we” or “us”), collect, use and protect information when you visit drkaga.com (the “Site”), request an appointment, sign up for our specials or buy from us online.
Your health information. Once you are our patient, your medical information is also protected by HIPAA and described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. If this Policy and our Notice of Privacy Practices differ about your health information, the Notice applies. Ask for a copy at any visit or call 848-837-5242.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Appointment requests: your name, phone, email, date of birth, whether you are a new or current patient, your preferred location and contact method, and the services you are interested in. If you tap Next after the first step but don’t send the request, we keep your name, phone and email so our team can follow up about it. We never use them for marketing, and we delete them after 30 days, or as soon as you send the full request. A request also records how you arrived at the Site (see “Cookies and tracking” below).
- Specials and news signups: your first name (optional), and your email address and/or mobile number, only for the channels you choose.
- Messages: what you send us by phone, text or email.
- Online purchases and gift cards: your name, contact and delivery details, and what you bought. Card payments are handled by our payment processor; we never see or store your full card number.
Please don’t send medical details, photos or insurance information through the Site, email or text. We collect what we need securely at your visit.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers record basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the date and time. We use it only to keep the Site secure and working.
Cookies and tracking
- We do not use advertising pixels, cross-site tracking or third-party analytics (such as the Meta Pixel or Google Analytics) on the Site.
- We count visits with our own privacy-friendly analytics, kept on our secure systems: which pages are viewed, the type of device (phone, tablet or computer), and how the visit arrived, for example the name of the website, ad or email campaign that linked to us. It uses no cookies, does not record your IP address and does not identify you. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we don’t count your visit.
- The Site does not use cookies. It saves small notes in your browser: whether you closed or completed our signup box, so it doesn’t keep appearing, and, for 30 days, how you arrived (such as an ad or post), so an appointment request can be credited to it. You can clear them in your browser settings at any time.
- Our fonts are delivered by Google Fonts, which receives your IP address in order to send them. Some pages include YouTube videos in privacy-enhanced mode; YouTube may collect information if you play a video. Their privacy policies apply to that information.
How we use information
- To respond to your request, schedule and remind you about appointments, and answer your questions.
- To send specials and news, only if you agreed (see below).
- To process orders and gift cards.
- To operate, secure and improve the Site, and to prevent fraud and abuse.
- To meet our legal, regulatory and professional obligations.
Email and text messages
- Requesting an appointment, booking or contacting us never signs you up for marketing. We send promotional emails or texts only if you check the box for that channel, and the boxes are never checked for you.
- We keep a record of your choice: the channel, the date, where you signed up and the exact wording you agreed to.
- Email: every marketing email has an unsubscribe link.
- Text messages: recurring automated marketing texts. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Agreeing is not a condition of any purchase.
- We may still contact you about your appointments, orders and care, as the law allows.
- No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text message opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third party.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising. We share it only:
- With service providers that help us run our practice and the Site (for example, secure cloud hosting, email and text delivery, and payment processing), under contracts that limit how they can use it. Providers that handle health information sign a HIPAA business associate agreement.
- When the law requires it, such as a court order or subpoena, or to protect the rights, property or safety of our patients, staff or others.
- If our practice is sold or merged, subject to this Policy and the law.
- With your permission.
How we protect information
Information from our forms goes directly to secure systems built for health information, encrypted in transit and at rest. Only staff who need it can see it; staff sign in with multi-factor authentication, and access is logged. No method of sending or storing information is 100% secure, but we work hard to protect yours.
How long we keep information
We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes above or as the law requires. Medical records are kept as New Jersey law requires. If you unsubscribe, we stop sending marketing but keep a record of your choice so we can honor it. Visit counts are deleted after about 13 months.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from email with the link in any marketing email, or reply STOP to any text.
- Ask to see, correct or delete information you gave us through the Site by calling 848-837-5242 or emailing info@drkaga.com. We may need to keep some information to meet legal obligations, such as medical records.
- As a patient, you also have the rights described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, including the right to see and request corrections to your medical records.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information online. Appointment requests for anyone under 18 should be made by a parent or guardian.
Links to other websites
The Site links to other websites, such as product makers, financing and payment providers, and social media. Their privacy policies apply when you visit them.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy. We will post the new version here and change the “Last updated” date. For significant changes, we will also show a notice on the Site.
