Privacy policy

This page is a template. Replace it with your own policy before you go live. What follows is a structure, not legal advice, and it has not been checked against the law that applies to you. A dental practice handles health data, which is a special category almost everywhere, so consult a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction before you publish it.

What this site collects

This site is a set of static pages. It sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics by default.

If you send an appointment request, the form passes what you typed — your name, the email address or phone number you gave us, your preferred time and anything you wrote in the note — to the service the practice has connected it to. Name that service here, and say where it stores the message and for how long.

Health information

The appointment form on this site asks for your name, a way to contact you, and a preferred time. It does not ask for medical information and you should not send any through it. Your medical history is taken at the practice and kept in the clinical record system, which is separate from this website.

If you have added a booking system embed, say here what it collects, because that is a different answer from this one.

What the practice collects

Say what you keep about a patient: contact details, medical history, clinical notes, radiographs, correspondence and payment records. Say how long each is kept, which for clinical records is usually set by your regulator rather than by you, and name the rule you are following.

Who else sees it

List every third party: your form service, your booking system, your hosting provider, your payment processor, your referral network, and any laboratory that receives work with a patient identifier on it.

Your rights and how to use them

Say who to write to, at which address, and how quickly you answer. Say how somebody asks for a copy of their record and what, if anything, that costs.
