Our Data Protection Principles
The protection and security of your personal
data is of paramount importance to us. The use of your personal data is in
strict compliance with general data protection regulations in order to make you
feel secure with us in matters of data protection.
It is important to us that you are always aware
of which personal data is collected during your visit on our website and during
the use of our services and offers, as well as how we use said data afterwards.
The following notices are intended to provide you with information about this
and also to inform you of how we protect your personal data from manipulation,
loss, destruction or improper use.
Collection and Use of Personal Data
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Personal data is any data that allows for your
personal identification, i.e. your name, address, phone number or email address
(“Personal Data”). Personal Data is only collected, processed or used by us if
permitted by law or if you have given your prior consent.
We collect data from our patients and use it as
part of providing dental treatment to them. This data is held on our server and
shared with a third party practice management supplier.
