Privacy Policy

DentalWise (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to all pages on this site.

1. Information we collect

We are a lightweight, mostly static website, so we collect very little by design. The only personal information we collect is what you voluntarily provide:

  • Email address — if you subscribe to our newsletter using the form on the homepage.
  • Non-personal usage data — basic, aggregated technical data such as pages visited, browser type, and approximate location, if we enable an analytics tool.

We do not collect your name, phone number, payment details, or health information.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect only to:

  • Send you the newsletter you requested (and nothing else);
  • Understand which articles are most useful so we can improve the site;
  • Maintain the security and proper functioning of the website.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. This site may use strictly necessary cookies to remember basic preferences, and may use analytics cookies to measure aggregate traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will continue to work without them.

4. Third-party services

We rely on a small number of third-party providers to operate the site:

  • Unsplash — the photographs on this site are loaded from Unsplash’s content delivery network. When you view a page, Unsplash may receive standard technical data (such as your IP address) as part of serving those images. Please see Unsplash’s privacy policy for details.
  • Email provider — if you subscribe, your email address is stored with a reputable email service provider solely to deliver our newsletter.

These providers may have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We share only the minimum information necessary for them to perform their service.

5. Data sharing and disclosure

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties except: (a) to service providers who help us operate the site, under confidentiality obligations; (b) if required by law; or (c) to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.

6. Data retention

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we retain your email address until you unsubscribe, after which it is promptly removed. Aggregated, non-personal analytics data may be kept indefinitely in a form that cannot identify you.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, including the rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.

8. Children’s privacy

This website is a general-audience informational resource and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you transmit to us.

10. Medical disclaimer

This site provides general educational information only and is not medical or dental advice, nor a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment. Always consult a licensed dentist or other qualified health provider with questions about your health.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
