Privacy Policy

FindYourDentist.com is operated by the Alliance of Independent Dentists, a nonprofit organization. This policy explains how information is collected and used on findyourdentist.com. It is based on, and consistent with, the Alliance's organizational privacy policy.

By using findyourdentist.com you agree to the practices described here.

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it — for example, when you use a contact form to message a practice or the Alliance. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.

Dentist and practice information shown in the directory comes from the Alliance's membership system and is provided by the member practices themselves.

Contact-form details are used solely to deliver your message to the intended dental practice or to the Alliance, and to respond to you. We do not sell your personal information.

We process this information on the basis of your consent and our legitimate interest in operating the directory and connecting patients with independent dentists.

We keep anonymous, aggregate counts of activity — such as profile views and clicks to call, visit a website, or get directions — to understand how the directory is used. These counts contain no personal information and are not tied to your identity.

Messages you send through a practice's contact form are delivered to that practice. We may use trusted service providers (for example, an email delivery provider) strictly to operate the site, sharing only what is necessary. We may disclose information where required by law or to prevent fraud or abuse.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

The site may use cookies that do not contain personal information to support basic functionality and recognize returning visitors. You can restrict or block cookies through your browser settings.

Personal information submitted through the site is retained only as long as needed to handle your request and meet legal or operational requirements — generally no longer than five years.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority. To make a request, use our contact page.
