Last updated: September 2026

Who we are

Riverside West Dental Centre ("we", "us") operates the dental practice at 940 1st Ave. W., Owen Sound, ON N4K 4K5 and this website. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

What we collect through this website

When you submit our appointment request form we collect your name, phone number, email address (optional), the reason for your visit, your preferred time, and any message you choose to include.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, for security and performance purposes.

How we use it

We use the information you send us only to respond to your request, schedule your appointment, and communicate with you about your care. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for marketing without your consent.

Form submissions are delivered to our office email by a third-party email delivery service and are handled by our front desk team.

Health information

Please do not include detailed health information in the website form. Your dental and medical history is collected in person at the office, where it is stored securely as part of your patient record and used only for your care, billing, and as required by law.

Third-party services

This website is hosted on Vercel and uses Google Maps to display our location. These providers may collect technical data under their own privacy policies. We do not use advertising trackers on this site.

Your rights

You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, request corrections, or withdraw consent to future communications at any time by contacting our office. We will respond within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable law.
