Smileshoppe is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact with our website. By accessing Smileshoppe, you acknowledge and fully understand Smileshoppe's Privacy Statement and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Website Privacy Statement.

Related services and offerings with links from this website, including vendor sites, have their own privacy statements that can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding links within each respective website. Online merchants and others who participate in Smileshoppe services are encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.

Smileshoppe collects certain information from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.

Smileshoppe web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons - sometimes also called single-pixel gifs - that allow Smileshoppe to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Smileshoppe may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. Smileshoppe prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.

We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information by contacting us.

Smileshoppe has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "updated" date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.

If you have questions regarding our Privacy Statement, its implementation, failure to adhere to this Privacy Statement and/or our general practices, please contact us:
