5 Mile Smiles Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 4, 2026
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explains how 5 Mile Smiles, the practice of Dr. Jason Keefe (“we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, shares, and protects consumer health data under the Washington My Health My Data Act, RCW Chapter 19.373.
This policy applies to Washington residents and to anyone whose consumer health data we collect in Washington, including through our website at https://5milesmiles.com/.
This policy is separate from, and in addition to:
- Our Privacy Policy, which covers our website more broadly.
- Our Notice of Privacy Practices, which covers protected health information in your patient records under HIPAA. Information covered by HIPAA is governed by that notice, not this policy.
If this policy conflicts with our Privacy Policy on consumer health data, this policy controls.
1. Consumer health data we collect
Because our website relates to dental care, some information we collect may be considered consumer health data, including:
- Contact information you submit when you request a consultation or appointment, such as your name, phone number, and email address. Submitting this tells us you are seeking care.
- Website activity linked to your visit, such as the pages you view, your IP address, device and browser information, and cookie identifiers, when connected to the health care context of our site.
- General location, such as city or region derived from your IP address.
- Referral information, such as the search, website, or ad that brought you to our site.
- Call and chat information, if you call a tracked phone number or use chat on our website, such as call details and the messages you send.
Our forms ask for contact information only. Please don’t include details about your health or treatment in a website form or chat.
2. How we collect it
- Directly from you, when you fill out a form, call, chat with us, or contact our office.
- Automatically, through cookies and similar technologies on our website, such as Google Analytics, after you have given consent through our cookie banner.
- From advertising platforms: if we run ads, we may receive information from platforms such as Google and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) when you click one of our ads or submit a lead form inside those platforms.
3. Why we collect and how we use it
We use consumer health data only for these purposes:
- Responding to your consultation or appointment request
- Scheduling and communicating with you about your visit
- Understanding how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- Measuring which searches, and any ads we run, bring people to us
- Keeping our website and systems secure
- Meeting our legal obligations
We will not collect or use consumer health data for any other purpose without first telling you and getting your consent.
4. Who we share it with
We share consumer health data only with service providers who help us run our practice and website, and only for the purposes above. These include:
- Website and marketing service providers
- Form, lead management, and communication providers
- Analytics providers, such as Google Analytics
- Website feature providers, such as maps, chat, and review displays
- Call tracking providers, if we use them
- Advertising platforms, such as Google and Meta, if we run ads
- Consent management providers
The consumer health data we share with these providers may include the categories listed in Section 1: contact information, website activity, general location, referral information, and call or chat information.
We may also share consumer health data when required by law, or with your consent. We do not share consumer health data with any other third parties or affiliates. You can request a list of the specific companies we share with (see Your rights below).
5. Your consent
Website tracking: When you first visit our site, our cookie banner asks for your choice. Analytics and advertising technologies run only after you click Accept. If you click Reject, they stay off.
Forms: When you submit a form, you consent to us collecting your contact information to respond to your request, and to the form tracking described in this policy.
Withdrawing consent: You can change your cookie choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link at the bottom of our website, or withdraw any consent by emailing info@5milesmiles.com. Withdrawing consent won’t affect your ability to get care from us.
