This website is drkvitko.com. It is the site for Dr. Kvitko & Associates in Clintonville (Columbus, Ohio).
This site is operated by Merkley Midwest-Columbus II, Inc. d/b/a Dr. Kvitko & Associates. In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” mean that entity doing business as Dr. Kvitko & Associates.
What this policy covers
This notice covers the website at drkvitko.com and related online tools we use with that site (for example, a contact form or an online booking request).
It does not cover health information in your dental record. Clinical records are handled under a separate HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
For health information in your dental record, see our Notice of Privacy Practices: https://drkvitko.com/notice-of-privacy-practices/.
The office is in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Our office is at 4308 N High St., Columbus, OH 43214.
Information we collect through the website
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Contact and appointment forms. Name, phone, email, and the message or reason you give us.
- Online booking requests. Information you type into the booking tool (see below).
- Comments or a login, if those features are offered. What you type, plus technical data used to run comments or an account. See the short leftover section at the end of this policy.
- Server logs. Standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the time of the visit. We use this to operate and secure the site.
- Cookies and similar tools. Small files or similar technology that help the site function and that may be used for analytics or advertising. See “Cookies, analytics, and ads” below.
Please do not send Social Security numbers, full payment-card numbers, or detailed clinical histories through a website form if a more secure option is available. If you do include health details in a form, we will treat them carefully, but a website form is not the same as your dental chart.
Online booking (Modento)
This office uses Modento as the online booking tool. If you request an appointment on this site, that request goes to a third-party platform (Modento) that has its own terms and privacy policy.
An online request is not a confirmed appointment until our office confirms it. If you need to be seen sooner, call us at (614) 262-9588.
Payments and financing
If this site mentions or links to paying a bill or to third-party financing — which may include programs such as CareCredit, Cherry, or Pearl if those names or links appear on this site — those companies have their own terms and privacy policies. We have not treated any specific financing brand as live on this URL unless it is actually linked here.
We do not set fee amounts in this policy.
Cookies, analytics, and ads
The site may use cookies and similar tools for basic function, analytics, and advertising. This site may show promotional messages. Those features can use the same kinds of tools.
This policy does not list every cookie or advertising tool by name, and it does not claim that any named analytics or ad product is in use.
You can control many cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Pages may include embedded content from other websites (videos, maps, booking widgets, and the like). That content works as if you visited the other site. Those sites have their own practices.
How we use website data
We use website information to:
- respond to inquiries and appointment requests;
- help schedule or confirm visits when you ask us to;
- operate, maintain, and improve the site;
- protect the site and our patients from spam, fraud, and security threats; and
- meet legal duties, if we have them.
Sharing
We may share website information with service providers who help us run the site and related tools (for example hosting, online booking, payment or financing links if used, and spam or security screening). Those providers should use the information only to do that work for us.
We may share information if the law requires it or if we must respond to a lawful request.
We do not sell patient health information.
This is an Ohio dental practice site. This policy does not claim that California, European, or other out-of-state consumer-privacy regimes apply to this website.
You may contact the office about website data we hold. Use the contact details below.
Retention and security
How long we keep website data depends on why we have it. Form submissions and booking requests are kept as needed to respond to you and to run the practice. Server logs and cookies are kept only as long as needed for those purposes, unless a longer period is required.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information we collect through the website. No website is completely secure, and we do not guarantee security.
Children
This website is not directed at children under 13. Parents or guardians book for minors. If you believe a child under 13 submitted personal information through this site, please contact us and we will review it.
Changes
We may update this website Privacy Policy. The date below shows when this policy was last updated.

If comments or login are offered on this site
If you leave a comment, we collect what you type, plus your IP address and browser user-agent, to help catch spam. We may send a hash of your email to Gravatar to see if you use that service. Gravatar’s policy is at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After a comment is approved, your profile picture can show next to it.
If you upload images, do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download an image and read that data.
Comment cookies may save your name, email, and website for about a year so you do not have to retype them. A login page may set a temporary cookie to test whether your browser accepts cookies. Login cookies, if you log in, typically last a few days (or longer if you choose “Remember Me”).
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Comments and their metadata may stay on the site so we can recognize follow-up comments.
If comments and login are turned off, this section does not apply.
