At Pearls Dental Centre, the need for the strict confidentiality of personal information about patients is taken very seriously. The Privacy Policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you use our website or eventually become a registered patient with us.
When you make an enquiry from our website we collect information about your name, email, telephone and enquiry.
As a registered patient with our practice your personal data will include:We need to keep comprehensive and accurate personal data about our patients in order to provide them with safe and appropriate dental care. We also need to process personal data about you in order to provide care under NHS arrangements and to ensure the proper management and administration of the NHS.
We will retain your records while you are a patient and after you cease to be a patient, for at least 11 years or for children until the age of 25 years – whichever is the longer.
We will not share your information with any other third parties for marketing purposes. We will very occasionally inform you of any promotional/discount offers on treatments within the practice.
In order to provide proper and safe dental care, we may need to disclose personal information about you to:
Disclosure will only take place on a “need-to-know” basis, so that only those individuals/organisations who need to know in order to provide care for you and for the proper administration of Government (whose personnel are covered by strict confidentiality rules) will be given the information. Only information that recipient needs to know will be disclosed.
In very limited circumstances or when required by law or a court order, personal data may have to be disclosed to a third party not connected with your health care. In all other situations, disclosure that is not covered by this Privacy Policy will only occur when we have your specific consent.
Where possible you will be informed of these requests for disclosure.
Our website contains links to other websites. This Privacy Policy only applies to this website so when you link to other websites you should read their own privacy policies.
