Privacy policy

What personal information Dentist Guide handles, why, who helps us handle it and how to ask us to see or delete it.

Who is responsible

The owner of Dentist Guide (dentistguide.us) decides how personal information is handled on the site and can be reached at info@dentistguide.us. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for targeted advertising.

What we handle and why

When you browse, your IP address, your browser type and the pages you open, only to keep the site secure and working. When you write to us or use a form, your name, your email address and your message, so we can reply. For practices with an account, the sign-in email and the practice details, so they can manage their page and plans.

Please leave your health out of it

Dentist Guide is not a health care provider and does not need your dental or medical history. Do not include symptoms, diagnoses, x-rays or insurance numbers in messages to us or in forms. If you send them anyway, we delete them once your message has been dealt with.

No ads and no tracking cookies

The site shows no ads and sets no advertising or analytics cookies. Visits are counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies. The only cookies are those strictly needed to run the site, such as the one that keeps a practice owner signed in.

Who helps us

Cloudflare hosts and protects the site, counts visits without cookies and carries our email. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that forms are filled in by a person. Stripe processes the plans that listed practices buy and keeps their card details itself, so we never see them.

How long we keep it

Browsing records for as long as security needs them. Messages until we have dealt with them. Account details while the account is open. Billing records for as long as tax and accounting rules require.

Your choices

Depending on the state where you live, laws such as those of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and Virginia may give you the right to know what personal information a business holds about you, to correct or delete it, and to opt out of its sale or its use for targeted advertising. Write to info@dentistguide.us to make any of these requests, and we will answer whether or not your state requires it. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the attorney general of your state.

Children

The site is meant for adults, including parents looking for a pediatric dentist, and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page.
