Effective November 5, 2026. This notice explains what information Dental Studio SF collects through this website (dentalstudiosf.com) and through phone calls and text messages with the practice, how that information is used, and the choices you have.
Dental Studio SF is a dental practice at 260 Stockton St, 4th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94108. Dental services are provided by Amin Samadian, DDS. You can reach us at 415-392-5025.
Once you are a patient, your health information is also protected by HIPAA. How the practice uses and discloses it is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, which you can request from the front desk. For health information we hold as your dental provider, that Notice governs.
Information You Give Us
When you send a consultation or contact form, we receive what you enter:
- Your name, phone number and email address
- The treatments you tick, and anything you write in the message box
- Whether you agreed to be contacted by phone, text or email about your enquiry
Please do not put detailed medical history in a web form. We will ask for what we need at your visit.
Information Collected Automatically
Where your visit came from. When you arrive from an ad or a link, the site stores the campaign details in that link (such as UTM tags and Google or Meta click identifiers) and the page you landed on in a first-party cookie for up to 90 days. If you later send a form, those details are sent with it so the enquiry can be matched to the ad or link that brought you.
Server logs. Our website host records standard request information, such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested.
Page layout measurement. A measurement script run by our marketing service provider records where on a page visitors click and how far they scroll, with the screen size, so we can improve page layout. It does not read anything you type into a form, and it removes the query string from the page address before sending.
Quiz progress counts. On our treatment self-check pages, we count how many visitors open the check, reach each question, finish it and send a request, how often the patient films on those pages are played, watched to the end and followed to the check, and which of our ads they came from. These are daily totals only: your answers, your name and anything that could identify you are not part of them.
Advertising and analytics tags — only with your consent. The Google Ads conversion tag, the Meta (Facebook) pixel and Microsoft Clarity (which records how visitors move through pages, with form fields masked) load only after you choose to allow them in the cookie banner. Until you choose, and if you decline, none of them load. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie choices” at the foot of every page.
Phone Calls, Call Recording and Call Tracking
Call recording. Calls to and from the practice may be recorded and transcribed. We use recordings and transcripts to respond to you, to keep notes of what was discussed, to schedule and manage appointments, and to train our team and check the quality of our service. Some calls — for example after hours, or when the team is on other calls — may be answered by an automated voice assistant, and those calls are recorded and transcribed in the same way.
Call tracking. This site uses WhatConverts, a call-tracking service. On some visits the phone number shown on the site is a tracking number that forwards to the practice. For calls to those numbers, WhatConverts records details such as the calling number, the time and length of the call, and the page or ad that led to the call, and the call may be recorded. The call-tracking script is not controlled by the cookie banner.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your enquiry and arrange a consultation or appointment
- To follow up with you by phone, text or email about your enquiry, if you agreed to be contacted
- To understand which ads and pages lead to enquiries
- To operate, secure and improve this website
- To meet our legal obligations
Who We Share It With
We share information only with service providers that work on our behalf: our website host, the systems we use to manage enquiries and patient communications, our telephone and text-messaging providers, our call-tracking provider (WhatConverts), and — only if you allowed them in the cookie banner — Google, Meta and Microsoft for the tags described above. We may also disclose information where the law requires it. We do not sell or rent the information you give us through this website.
SMS / Text Messaging & Consent (TCPA)
Dental Studio SF sends text messages to patients about their care: appointment confirmations, reminders and rescheduling; replies to questions a patient has sent us; and billing or insurance follow-up. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages under this program.
How you opt in. Patients consent in the new-patient registration paperwork completed when joining the practice, and may also opt in online at desk.dionhealth.com/sms-optin — a web form carrying a dedicated SMS consent checkbox that is unchecked by default and is not required to receive care, complete a purchase, or create an account. Visitors who give us a phone number on a contact or consultation form may also consent to be contacted about that enquiry. Consent is recorded for each individual on that person’s own record. We do not buy, rent or share opt-in lists.
Message types and frequency. Appointment confirmations, reminders and rescheduling; replies to your questions; and billing or insurance follow-up. Message frequency varies based on your appointments and account activity. Message and data rates may apply.
Consent is never a condition of treatment. You can receive care, complete a purchase and create an account without agreeing to text messages.
How to opt out, and how to get help. Reply STOP to any text message and you will receive one confirmation message and no further texts. Reply HELP for help. You may also call us at 415-392-5025 or ask any member of our team. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Our full SMS Terms & Conditions are published alongside the opt-in form.
Mobile information and third parties. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Security
We do not ask for card numbers or Social Security numbers through this website. Access to the information you send us is limited to the people and service providers who need it to respond to you.
Your Choices
- Reply STOP to any text from us to stop text messages, as described above.
- Reply to any email from us asking us to stop, and we will stop emailing you.
- Use “Cookie choices” at the foot of any page to allow or decline the advertising and analytics tags.
- Call us at 415-392-5025 or use the request form to ask what information we have about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. Some information, such as patient records, we are required by law to keep.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them through it.
