Last updated: May 14, 2026

Angela Leung DDS PC respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit or use our website, https://angelaleungddspc.com/ the “Website”, contact our office, submit forms, request an appointment, or otherwise interact with us online.

The CCPA was amended by the CPRA, and California’s Attorney General notes that new CPRA rights began applying on January 1, 2023, including the right to correct inaccurate personal information and the right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information. CalOPPA requires certain commercial websites that collect personal information from California residents to post a privacy policy and explain practices such as Do Not Track responses. COPPA applies to operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13, or those with actual knowledge that they collect personal information from children under 13.
