Information We May Collect About You
The information we collect via our website is used to improve the content of our sites and advance the mission of the CCDS.
For each visitor to our website, our web server automatically recognizes only the user’s domain name, but not the e-mail address (where possible).
We collect the domain name and internet protocol (IP) address of visitors to our Web site, aggregate information on what pages users access or visit, user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, and information volunteered by users, including from surveys, purchases and/or registrations. We also may collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail.
How We May Use Information We Collect
The CCDS, its subsidiaries and affiliates may use your contact information to alert you to new information, products and services, events and other opportunities.
The CCDS maintains a directory of dentists that may include information you submit via our web site. This directory is shared with national, state and local dental societies. A subset of this directory, containing information about CCDS members, is publicly accessible on claycountydental.org.
With respect to your e-mail address
We have instituted stringent reviews and opt-out capabilities to ensure that you do not receive unwanted e-mail from the CCDS. We will not give or sell your e-mail address to any entity outside the CCDS, its subsidiaries and affiliated entities (such as local dental societies).
Your Rights
To help us keep our promise to respect your privacy, it is important when you wish to exercise your rights that you contact us via any of the means listed in the first section of this Privacy Policy.
If you do not want to receive e-mail, postal mail, telephone calls or faxes from us in the future, or if you do not want us to share your contact information in the manner described above, please provide us with your exact name, e-mail and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers and, if appropriate, ADA membership number. We will no longer use information you so identify and secured via claycountydental.org, if that is your wish. While we will continue to share information we maintain about you with local dental societies, we will do our best to be sure any other specific contact information you so identify is removed from any list we share with other organizations.
You may also contact us if you believe your information is being used for purposes other than those for which it was originally collected.

Accessibility
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of content on our website. Below, you’ll find a few recommendations to help make your browsing experience more accessible:
If you have trouble seeing web pages, the US Social Security Administration offers these tips for optimizing your computer and browser to improve your online experience.
- Use the keyboard to navigate screens
- Increase text size
- Magnify your screen
- Change background and text colors
- Make your mouse pointer more visible (Windows only)

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, there are several accessibility features available to you.
Closed Captioning
Closed captioning provides a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally visually displayed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio due to noisy environments. Learn how to turn captioning on and off in YouTube.
