What this policy covers
Washington's My Health My Data Act, RCW 19.373, gives Washington consumers rights over certain health-related information that is not protected health information under HIPAA and not otherwise exempt under the Act. This policy is about that information as our website, www.issaquahpremierdental.com, collects it. Issaquah Premier Dental is the practice name of Diana Wu, DDS, PLLC.
It does not cover your dental record. Health information we hold as your dental provider is protected health information, governed by HIPAA and by our Notice of Privacy Practices, posted at /notice-of-privacy-practices.pdf, and the Act exempts it.
What we collect, and why
One thing this website collects can be consumer health data: what you write in the message field of our contact form or our new patient form. If you tell us why you are reaching out and the reason is a health one, a tooth that hurts or a treatment you are asking about, then you have given us health information. We use it to answer you and to arrange care. Our forms do not ask for your date of birth, insurance details, or dental history; we collect those by phone or at your first visit.
You give us this information yourself, for the service you are asking us for, when you submit a form. We collect it only for that purpose. If you would rather not use the form, call the office.
Our website analytics are not consumer health data as we run them. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, we have turned off its advertising features, and we do not use it to identify anyone or to infer anything about a person's health.
Where it comes from
It comes from you, when you fill out a form on the site.
Who we share it with
We do not sell consumer health data, and we do not share it for advertising of any kind.
The category we share is the one described above: what you give us through our forms. We share it only with the companies that deliver and hold it for us, in these categories:
- our form delivery provider, EmailJS, which sends what you submit on our forms to our inbox; and
- our email provider, Google Workspace, which hosts that inbox.
We do not share it with any other company for that company's own purposes, and no affiliated company receives it. We may disclose it when the law requires it or to respond to a lawful request.
Booking is different. The Book Online button leaves this website for the online scheduler run by Oryx Dental Software, our practice management provider. What you enter there is handled as part of your patient record under HIPAA and our Notice of Privacy Practices, and this policy does not apply to it.
Your rights
Under RCW 19.373.040, you have the right to:
- confirm whether we are collecting, sharing, or selling your consumer health data, and to access that data;
- receive a list of all third parties and affiliates we have shared or sold it to, along with a way to contact them;
- withdraw your consent to our collecting and sharing it; and
- have it deleted. When we delete, we also delete from backups within the time the Act allows and tell the companies above to delete their copies.
There is no charge for a request, up to twice a year, unless a request is clearly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.
How to use these rights
Email hello@issaquahpremierdental.com or call (425) 654-8601 and tell us which right you want to use. Our Office Manager handles these requests, and will ask for enough information to find your data and confirm the request is yours.
We will respond within 45 days of receiving your request. If more time is reasonably necessary, we may extend that once by another 45 days, and we will tell you before we do.
If we refuse a request, we will tell you why and how to appeal. Send an appeal to the same email address or phone number and we will give you a written decision within 45 days of receiving it, with the reasons. If we deny the appeal, you can submit a complaint to the Washington State Attorney General at https://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.
