When you register a DENTAL BRIDGE account, we require you to

already created a professional profile for you, as described in the “DENTAL

credentials, which verification may require them to answer identity
verification questions and/or provide us a professional email address, a copy
of their professional license, medical ID or other relevant documentation.
While we take steps to verify that DENTAL BRIDGE users are actually the

survey responses, contest entries, and creative submissions.
When you communicate with us, such as when you contact User
Support or respond to a feedback survey, and when you use the Service to
communicate with others, we collect details about your communications.
In addition to the personal information you provide to us
directly, we collect a variety of personal information automatically when you
use the Services through the use of cookies and similar technologies (e.g.,
pixels, web beacons and device identifiers), which we refer to as “Log Data” as
further described in the "Cookies and Similar Technologies" section
below. Log Data includes activity information such as the date and time that
you access one of our sites or apps, and whether you view, click or otherwise
interact with content, including articles, links, advertisements promoting the
products and services of DENTAL BRIDGE or our customers, open or click a link
in one of our emails, conduct a search on one of our websites, share an article
displayed in your newsfeed, or send, receive, or engage with a message sent
through the Service. We collect device information including your IP address
(which is a unique numerical address that identifies your device when you
access the Internet), your browser and device type and model, operating system,
your ISP and mobile carrier, your advertising ID (which is a unique,
user-resettable identification number associated with a mobile device), other
unique identifiers associated with your computer or mobile device, and the sites
you visit before and after you visit one of our sites.
The use of these technologies helps us serve you better by
understanding what you’re interested in, tracking trends, measuring the
effectiveness of our content, including ads, and saving your preferences. For
information about how you can manage your cookie preferences, refer to the
“Choices Regarding Personal Information” section, below.

specialty and inferred interests based on your profile and how you engage with
the Services. We use your information to target (and measure the performance
of) advertising and other content sponsored by third parties, including
pharmaceutical companies promoting their products and therapies, and hospitals

designation indicating that the content is promotional and has been selected by

purposes, including to analyze and improve the Services and promote our
business.

profession, we may share your information with research institutions that
perform research related to their respective missions. We require these
institutions to agree that they will only use and share the data as needed for
the approved research purpose and that any resulting research output be
aggregated and anonymized so that it cannot be linked back to any individual.

activities.

other clinical solutions, and we communicate their messages to the selected
DENTAL BRIDGE users on their behalf. We also provide our commercial clients
with User information in connection with our audience development and

compliance and record keeping purposes. We may forward to you emails from these
organizations in connection with your participation in the applicable
activities, including to send you CME/CPD credit certificates you have earned.
We work with third party partners to serve advertising for us on
third party sites and to evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising. These
third parties use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about
your use of the Service and other sites and online services over time,
including certain Log Data described above, so they can display our ads to you
on other sites and apps.
We may share your personal information in connection with a

proceeding, or other legal process served on us, which may involve disclosure
to law enforcement, courts, or governmental authorities. Also, if you provide
us information about an adverse event relating to a pharmaceutical product or
medical device, we may be required to report this information along with your

Code of Conduct, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
You are a valued member of the Dental Bridge community and we want to
make sure you have a pleasant experience on our site. We ask that all members
please follow certain guidelines to make sure it remains a respectful
environment.
Please review our Code of Conduct in order to understand the behavioral expectations of the
Community. Your use of Dental Bridge reflects your agreement to adhere to
this Code, as well as to
our Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy.
Please let us know in case you have any
questions, comments or suggestions.
Thanks!
이렇게 왼쪽에 조항별로 바로갈 수 있게 할수 있나요?
Thank
you for being a member of the Dental Bridge community. Please review this Code
of Conduct to understand the behavioral expectations of the Community. Your use
of Dental Bridge reflects your agreement to adhere to the Code, our Terms of
Service, and Privacy Policy.
You may not agree with everything
that you see posted on Dental Bridge. If you are concerned that something on
the social network violates this Code of Conduct, our Terms of Use, or our
Privacy Policy, you may use the “report” tool to flag the content. Dental
Bridge staff reviews each and every report in order to determine if something
is in violation of our Community’s rules. Content found in violation may be
edited or removed, and disciplinary action may be taken against the violating
member, including account suspension or deactivation, at Dental Bridge’s
discretion. Please note however, that we do not moderate political/religious
discussions, and members who misuse our report tool will be disciplined up to
and including deactivation.
It’s
tough out there for doctors, so let’s keep Dental Bridge a place where
physicians can feel supported. Treat your peers as you would in “real life.”
Use your anonymity as if you were talking to them face to face in the doctor’s
lounge. Just as in real-life, you will meet physicians here on Dental Bridge
who may not think what you think, believe what you believe or treat patients as
you would. Remain as civil on Dental Bridge as you would in the real world.
Many
Dental Bridgeans decide to stay anonymous on the site. That doesn’t mean you
can’t fill out your profile with a little information about yourself. Tell a
little about yourself, share a few favorite quotes, or maybe medical stories
that have inspired you. Bonus points if you upload a profile picture – just
make sure it’s “safe for work.”
Come
across an article that you loved (or hated) elsewhere? Share it in Dental
Bridge and start a conversation! Be sure to link your sources to give credit.
Photos
are very helpful when you’re looking for input on your clinical patient cases.
Make sure they are HIPAA compliant and you’ve redacted any identifying
information before uploading. Not doing so is a serious offense. Note that
“identifying information” may include names of patients or doctors, addresses,
or images that include a patient’s fully exposed face.
Before
you post or comment, ask “Could this harm a colleague?” or “Would I want my
peer, friend or family member spoken to this way?” If you wouldn’t say it to
them, Don’t say it here. If your judgment proves to be poor, we’ll moderate
your account for you. Repeated moderation may result in your account’s
suspension or deactivation, at the discretion of Dental Bridge.
Debates
about politics or religion can become quite heated, as they tend to involve a
deeper level of core beliefs held by members. Everyone has opinions, and you
should not expect that everyone will agree with yours. If you Don’t like where
a conversation is heading, unfollow it.
There
are thousands of member interactions taking place on Dental Bridge every day,
and we rely on community members to help us keep Dental Bridge a place where
you can freely discuss, learn, and vent with one another respectfully. If you
come across content on Dental Bridge that violates the Code of Conduct, please
use the “Report” function (found on every comment and post) to alert your
Dental BridgeTeam. These reports are monitored and individually reviewed, and
Dental BridgeTeam may edit or delete any material deemed to be in violation of
our Code of Conduct, Privacy Policy, or Terms of Use.
We’re
here to keep conversations supportive and safe, emotionally and physically.
Verbal abuse and threatening behavior – on Dental Bridge and off – will not be
tolerated.
Enjoy
Dental Bridge!
We
want you to enjoy your time here! Please let us know if there’s anything that
can add to your experience, from fun new features to new ways to improve online
consulting.
We
understand everyone has a bad day from time to time, but the below actions will
be viewed as significant infractions against the Code of Conduct, and may
result in edited or deleted content, account suspension, or account
deactivation.
Exposing
identifying information about other Dental Bridge members may be cause for
immediate termination without warning. Unless a member has entered information
in his/her profile and/or discussed it in the current thread, you must never
reveal any member’s personally identifiable information to another Dental
Bridgean. This extends beyond Dental Bridge’s boundaries to any other public
outlets. If there is a safety concern, contact Dental Bridge Admins.
Upload
only de-identified info about your clinical Patient Cases. Images, patient
descriptions, and test results are very helpful when you are looking for input
on your clinical patient case, but please make sure they are HIPAA/Data Privacy
compliant and you have anonymized/redacted all identifying information before
sharing them with the community. *Identifiable patient information can only be
shared when you have the individual’s consent in writing.
We
do not tolerate the distribution of false or misleading content that may harm
Dental Bridge’s or the public’s well-being, safety or trust. This includes
medically unsupported health claims that risk public health and safety such as
the promotion of false cures, anti-vaccination advice, or misinformation about
public health and safety emergencies. Additionally, we monitor for
misleading/false content that could impede an election’s integrity or an
individual’s or group’s civic participation, including registering to vote,
voting and being counted in a census. Any user content that fits into these
categories will immediately be deleted from the platform, and the user will be
given a warning. If the behavior persists the user’s membership will be
revoked.
A
multitude of topics are discussed on the Dental Bridge platform every day, so
disagreements will occur. A healthy debate is welcomed, however, please do so
respectfully. Name calling and the use of profanity towards another member,
either direct or indirect, will not be tolerated.
If
we come across anything that should be reported, such as credible threats
(including to public officials) we will do so.
Changing
the subject in a thread and continuing to hijack the conversation is annoying
and disruptive, and does not support meaningful dialogue. If you’ve been asked
to leave, just start a new a new post of your own. It’s free!
This
includes harassing or stalking (including unwanted private messages) Dental
Bridge members and employees on and off-site.
We
encourage you to tell the community about a book you wrote or your related
business. However, you should disclose possible conflicts of interest when
posting, and do not spam the community with your commercial or fundraising
interests. See the Terms of Service for more information. If you’re not sure if
it’s spam, check with Dental BridgeTeam first!
Impersonating
another member or sharing your login information with anyone else (current,
past, or non-Dental Bridge member) is grounds for immediate deactivation
without notice.
The
messages exchanged via the Private Messaging system on Dental Bridge are
expected to remain private. Publishing private message exchanges, whether in
part or in full, is not permitted. If you feel that you are being harassed via
Private Message, please use the Help Center to report it to your Dental Bridge
Admins.
We
rely on the help of the Dental Bridge community to identify violations of our
Code of Conduct, but repeated misuse of the tool to report content that does
not violate this Code (i.e. “crying wolf”) is largely unhelpful. There is a
difference between reading something you Don’t agree with and someone actually
violating the rules of the community. Please use the “report” function
responsibly, as repeated misuse of the tool may result in a deactivation of
your account.
We
like to give second chances and the opportunity for members to settle their own
differences. We keep a record of conduct situations and judge consequences
based on that context, not just the most recent infraction. Possible responses
to Code of Conduct violations include warnings, suspensions, or permanent
deactivation of the offending member. Allowing a banned member access back to
the site is grounds for immediate deactivation of the compromised account. Dental
BridgeTeam reserves the right to modify or retract member privileges (including
access to Dental Bridge services) at any time at its sole discretion.
Check out our FAQ, TOS and Privacy Policy for more information. If you have any questions about the Code of Conduct, please use our Support page or email support@dentalbridge.net for more information.
