Pulpdent Corporation Privacy Policy
Pulpdent Corporation respects your right to privacy and is committed to protecting your privacy. Your continued use of our website and your submission of any information to us indicate that you have read, understand and agree to our Privacy Policy.
Pulpdent collects customer information in an effort to enhance our service to our customers. We have detailed our Privacy Policy so that you know how we collect and protect the information you decide to provide us. This Privacy Policy will tell you:
- What information we collect.
- How we may use and share the information.
- How you can let us know your preference for sharing of information.
What Information Do We Collect?
We collect personal information about you in various ways, such as through this site; social media channels; at our events and conventions; over the phone; and in connection with our interactions with customers and vendors. We may collect the following types of personal information: contact information (such as name, postal address, employer/company name, email address and telephone number); username and password when you register on this site; geolocation data in connection with certain features of this site; and other information you may provide to us, such as in surveys, to order samples or through the “Contact Us” feature on this website.
We may collect information about you from other legitimate sources for the purpose of providing you with our products and services. Such sources include third party data aggregators, Pulpdent promotional partners, public sources and third party social networking sites. Such information may include:
- personal contact information; and
- any personal data that is part of your profile on a third party social network (e.g. Facebook) and that you allow that third party social network to share with us (e.g. name, email address, gender, birthday, city, profile picture, user ID, friend list). You can learn more about the data that we may obtain about you by visiting the website of the relevant third party social network.
When you visit our website, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons and web server logs. The information we collect in this manner includes IP address, unique device identifier, browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, information on actions taken on our website, and dates and times of visits to the website. A “cookie” is a file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. Through these automated collection methods, we obtain “clickstream data,” which is a log of the links and other content on which a visitor clicks while browsing the website. As the visitor clicks through the website, a record of the action may be collected and stored. We may link certain data elements we have collected through automated means, such as your browser information, with other information we have obtained about you to let us know, for example, whether you have opened an email we sent to you. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our website.
The providers of third-party apps, tools, widgets and plug-ins on our website, such as social media sharing tools, also may use automated means to collect information regarding your interactions with these features. This information is collected directly by the providers of the features and is subject to the privacy policies or notices of these providers. Pulpdent is not responsible for these providers’ information practices.

To the extent required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before collecting information using cookies or similar automated means.
We also may use third-party analytics services on this site, such as those of Google Analytics. The analytics providers that administer these services use technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons to help us analyze your use of our site.

We may do so when (1) permitted or required by law, or (2) trying to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized transactions, or (3) investigating fraud that has already taken place. In all cases, this information is not provided to these entities for marketing purposes.
