Please note that this Privacy Policy is subject to DentalEducation’s Terms of Service. We recommend that you read the Terms of Service.

The Collection of Information
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the best and most useful content on our website, and to help improve your online experience.
If you are seeking to use the services offered by DentalEducation, then you will be asked to register. We use any personal information you provide to identify you as a qualified dental practitioner, to process your registration and to deliver relevant information about you to registered dental practitioners and other healthcare providers regulated by law. We will not give or sell your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.
Registration will oblige you to provide certain personal information to us. Such information will include, without limitation, personal details such as your name, practice type, practice location, email address and your Dental Council registration number or equivalent
We may also use your email address to contact you from time-to-time to update you on matters concerning the service we provide. You consent to us contacting you in this regard. You may also from time to time receive information from our partners and/or carefully selected third parties. You can unsubscribe from this informational service at any stage and still remain a member of DentalEducation.
You acknowledge and agree that we may be obliged to disclose personal information (i.e. name, county and dental registration number) that you have provided to us to professional accrediting bodies to conform to CPD accreditation requirements. Some webinars will be sponsored by 3rd parties. These third parties will receive a report on how many participated in the webinar they sponsored, the participant names, and what type of dental practitioner they are. No other personal information (including email) will be disclosed to webinar sponsors
You also acknowledge and agree that in certain circumstances we may be obliged to disclose personal information that you have provided to us to third parties, for example, to conform to any requirements of law or to comply with any legal process, as well as to protect and defend our rights.
Certain information you have provided to us may be made available to other registered users of DentalEducation, via a profile which discloses certain information about you
The Collection of Information
Certain kinds of information are collected about users of DentalEducation to:
- 1. Help us to monitor and improve the services we offer
- 2. Sell advertising space on DentalEducation
- 3. To protect DentalEducation and our users.
Visitors should be aware that each time they visit a website or app two general levels of information about their visit can be retained.

It is policy of this app to respect and protect the privacy of our users and never wilfully disclose individually identifiable information about our users to any third party without first receiving that user’s permission.
We may, however, occasionally email you with information or queries about your registration or accounts, for instance to request permissions or advise you of changes.
