This data helps us understand how visitors use our website and improve their experience.
We may occasionally share aggregated, non-personally-identifying information (e.g., usage trends) publicly or with third parties to help enhance our services.
Additionally, Ortho San Antonio may collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users of specific website features, such as patient portals. These IP addresses are handled with the same level of care as other personally-identifiable information, as described below.
