## Reading does not require a child's history



This static guide has no habit\-history form, photo upload, account, chat or success tracker\. Its illustrative family is fictional\. Do not put personal health information into a website address or a URL query\.



The guide includes no Clarity or other visitor\-recording script\. Its page\-reading functions do not require JavaScript, camera, microphone or location access\.



## Some links open another service



Links to educational sources open the relevant publisher's website\. The consultation link opens the existing SMILE\-FX® consultation page, and a telephone link asks your device to open its calling function\. Those services have their own handling of information\.



The consultation URL includes this guide's source tag and campaign labels\. Those labels identify the referring guide; they are not a place for a child's name, symptoms or other personal details\.



## Hosting and browser requests



Opening a webpage sends ordinary requests to its hosting service\. Hosting infrastructure may process connection information for delivery and security\. Your browser can also retain its own history or cached files according to your settings\.



This guide does not claim to control another site's privacy practices or your browser's records\. Read the [SMILE\-FX® privacy policy](<https://www.smile-fx.com/privacy-policy/>)  before using the practice's external services, and use its [official contact route](<https://www.smile-fx.com/contact-us/>)  for privacy questions about those services\.
