5. Third-Party Services & Our Commitment to AI Data Privacy
We use trusted third-party services to help us operate our platform. A critical part of our commitment to data protection involves our choice of AI service providers.
We do not use OpenAI's standard consumer or API services. The concerns regarding data retention and potential conflicts with GDPR, as highlighted in public discussions about services like ChatGPT, are valid. For this reason, we have deliberately built our AI features one enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure from Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
These enterprise services are contractually configured for zero data retention. This means that any data processed by these AI services (such as voice dictation or text prompts) is processed in-memory and is never stored by the provider or used to train their models. This architectural choice is fundamental to ensuring the security and GDPR compliance of your data.
Our sub-processors for AI and other functions are detailed below:
AI & Speech Processing:
Microsoft Azure Speech-to-Text (Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd.)
Purpose: Converts your voice dictation to text in real-time.
Data Retention by Microsoft: None. Audio logging is contractually disabled for our account, meaning Microsoft does not persist or store your audio or the resulting transcripts.
Region: UK South.
Google Cloud Vertex AI / Gemini (Google Cloud EMEA Ltd.)
Purpose: Generates draft clinical notes from the text transcript.
Data Retention by Google: None. We have configured this service for "zero data retention." This is a specific enterprise feature ensuring Google does not store your prompts or the generated text.
Region: UK (London) or EU.
Payments:
Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.)
Purpose: To process subscription payments securely.
Privacy Policy: stripe.com/ie/privacy
Analytics & Usability:
Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited)
Purpose: To understand how users interact with our website (we use IP anonymization).
Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy
Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation)
Purpose: To analyze usability with heatmaps and session recordings to improve user experience.
Privacy Policy: privacy.microsoft.com/PrivacyStatement
Hosting & Infrastructure:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Microsoft Azure
Purpose: To host our platform and store data securely.
Region: Data is primarily hosted in the United Kingdom.
An updated list of sub-processors may be requested from us at any time.
6. International Data Transfers
Your personal data is primarily processed and stored on secure servers within the United Kingdom (UK) or the European Economic Area (EEA). If we transfer data outside the UK/EEA (for example, when using a service provider based in the US), we ensure it is protected by appropriate legal safeguards, such as an Adequacy Decision or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
7. Data Security
We are committed to protecting your data. We implement robust technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or destruction, including:
End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest.
Strict access controls and multi-factor authentication.
Regular security assessments.
Adherence to secure software development practices.
A designated Clinical Safety Officer to oversee our medical device features.
While we take extensive measures, no system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected.
AI Processing Services (Azure & Google AI): As stated in Section 5, these services are configured for zero data retention and do not store your voice or text data.
Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active account, and for a period afterward (e.g., 6 years) to comply with legal and financial obligations.
AI Notes "Saved Chats": Transcripts and AI-generated notes you choose to save are retained in your account for your reference. You have control over deleting these saved sessions.

Other User-Generated Data (Boards, Rota, etc.): Retained for as long as your account is active or until you delete it.
Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
9. Your Data Protection Rights (UK GDPR)
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your data under certain conditions.

Methods of Processing: We take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data. Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT-enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to us (the Owner), in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of Dentistry Dashboard (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by us.
Place: Data is processed at our operating offices (340 Clapham Road, London, SW9 9FA, United Kingdom) and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located (as detailed in Section 5 for third parties). For Dentistry Dashboard, primary data storage is within the United Kingdom. Depending on the User's location or the services used, data transfers may involve transferring User Data to a country other than their own. (See Section 7 for International Data Transfers).
7. International Data Transfers
Personal data we collect is primarily processed and stored on secure servers located in the United Kingdom (UK) or the European Economic Area (EEA). If we transfer your personal data outside the UK/EEA (e.g., when using certain third-party services based in the US, as listed in Section 5), we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as:
The UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an Adequacy Decision.
Binding Corporate Rules.
Other transfer mechanisms recognized under UK GDPR.
We will provide further information on these safeguards upon request. Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis of Data transfers to a country outside the European Union or to any international organisation governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by us to safeguard their Data by checking the relevant sections of this document or inquiring with us using the information provided in the contact section.
8. Data Security
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:
End-to-end encryption for data in transit and encryption for data at rest.
Strict access controls and authentication mechanisms.
Regular security assessments and penetration testing (if applicable).
Adherence to industry best practices, including relevant aspects of the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) where applicable to our role as a supplier.
Secure software development practices.
A designated Clinical Safety Officer responsible for overseeing the safety of features classified as medical devices.
Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
9. Data Retention
Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for. Therefore:
Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between us and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
Personal Data collected for the purposes of our legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by us within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting us.
We may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn.
Furthermore, we may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to fulfil a legal obligation (e.g., medical device regulations, financial records, tax obligations) or upon order of an authority.
Specific retention considerations:
Account Data: Retained for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter (e.g., 6 years after contract termination for legal/financial records) or as needed to comply with our legal obligations.
AI Notes Data (Saved Chats): Transcripts from User dictation and AI-generated notes saved by the User within the "Saved Chats" feature are retained to allow Users to revisit sessions. Users may have the ability to delete these saved sessions. Audio recordings from dictation are not stored by Dentistry Dashboard. Deletion of saved transcripts/notes from Dentistry Dashboard does not affect records stored by the User in their primary Practice Management System.
Medical Device Data: Data retained for medical device regulatory requirements (e.g., audit logs, performance data, clinical safety records) will be kept in accordance with applicable legal retention periods for such devices (which may be, for example, 10 years after the last product has been placed on the market for certain device classes).
Usage Data: Retained for analytical purposes for a period necessary to achieve those purposes, often in aggregated or anonymized form.
CPD Portal Data: Retained as long as your account is active or as you manage it within the portal.
Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be securely deleted or anonymized. Therefore, the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
10. Your Data Protection Rights (UK GDPR)
Under UK data protection law, you have several rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to:
Access your data: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Users have the right to learn if Data is being processed by us, obtain disclosure regarding certain aspects of the processing and obtain a copy of the Data undergoing processing.
Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Users have the right to verify the accuracy of their Data and ask for it to be updated or corrected.
Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request deletion of your personal data under certain conditions. Users have the right to obtain the erasure of their Data from us.
Restrict processing: Request that we limit the processing of your personal data under certain conditions. In this case, we will not process their Data for any purpose other than storing it.
Data portability: Request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Object to processing: Object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, or for direct marketing purposes.
Withdraw consent: If we process your data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Rights related to automated decision-making and profiling: The AI Notes feature assists in generating clinical documentation but does not make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without human review. All clinical decisions are made by the qualified healthcare professional.
Lodge a complaint: Users have the right to bring a claim before their competent data protection authority (see Section 20).
11. Details About the Right to Object to Processing
Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in us, or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation to justify the objection.
Users must know that, however, should their Personal Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to that processing at any time, free of charge and without providing any justification. Where the User objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the Personal Data will no longer be processed for such purposes. To learn whether we are processing Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, Users may refer to the relevant sections of this document.
12. How to Exercise These Rights
Any requests to exercise User rights can be directed to us through the contact details provided in this document (Section 21). Such requests are free of charge and will be answered by us as early as possible and always within one month, providing Users with the information required by law. Any rectification or erasure of Personal Data or restriction of processing will be communicated by us to each recipient, if any, to whom the Personal Data has been disclosed unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. At the Users’ request, we will inform them about those recipients.
13. Role of the User (Dental Practice) as Data Controller
As a User of Dentistry Dashboard (e.g., a dental practice), you are the Data Controller for the patient personal data that you and your team members input, upload, or otherwise process using our Service (including through AI Notes). You are responsible for:
Establishing and documenting the lawful basis for processing patient data.
Ensuring transparency with patients regarding the use of Dentistry Dashboard for clinical documentation, including the use of AI Notes based on User dictation. This includes informing them about what data is being processed, the purpose, how outputs are used and stored, and who has access.
Obtaining any necessary consents from patients as per your professional, ethical, and legal obligations for the underlying patient care and record-keeping.
Adhering to recommendations for using features like AI Notes, such as using it for post-consultation dictation and avoiding the input of Patient Identifiable Data where possible during the dictation process.
Ensuring the accuracy of clinical records, including reviewing and verifying any outputs generated by AI Notes before finalizing them in patient records.
Complying with your obligations under UK GDPR and other relevant legislation (e.g., Common Law Duty of Confidentiality).
Conducting your own Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for the use of Dentistry Dashboard within your practice, particularly for features like AI Notes. We will provide information to support you in this.
Managing access to Dentistry Dashboard within your practice and ensuring your team members are trained on its appropriate and secure use.
MyFormatic (Outlook Aesthetics Ltd.) acts as a Data Processor for this patient-related data, processing it only on your documented instructions as set out in our Terms of Service and Data Processing Addendum.
14. Clinical Safety and Medical Device Considerations
Where features of Dentistry Dashboard are classified as a medical device (e.g., AI Notes), we adhere to the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (as amended) and relevant clinical risk management standards (e.g., DCB0129 for manufacturers).
Our Service is intended to support, not replace, the professional judgment of qualified healthcare professionals. Outputs from AI Notes must be reviewed and verified for accuracy and completeness by a qualified User before being relied upon for clinical decision-making or entered into official patient records.
Users are advised to follow recommended usage guidelines for AI Notes, including its use as a post-consultation dictation tool and minimizing the input of Patient Identifiable Data.
We have a designated Clinical Safety Officer to oversee the clinical safety aspects of our medical device features.
Users are responsible for using the Service, particularly medical device features, in accordance with its intended purpose, supplied instructions for use, and any training provided. Incidents or safety concerns should be reported to us and, where appropriate, to relevant regulatory bodies (e.g., MHRA via Yellow Card).
15. Cookies and Trackers & Information on Opting-Out of Interest-Based Advertising
We use Cookies and other Trackers. Any use of Cookies – or of other tracking tools — by Dentistry Dashboard or by the owners of third-party services used by Dentistry Dashboard serves the purpose of providing the Service required by the User, in addition to any other purposes described in the present document and our Cookie Policy (available at: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/70143420/cookie-policy).
In addition to any opt-out feature provided by any of the services listed in this document, Users may learn more about how to generally opt out of interest-based advertising within the dedicated section of our Cookie Policy or by visiting industry opt-out pages.
16. Third-Party Services and Links
Our Service may integrate with or contain links to other third-party websites or services that are not operated by us (e.g., Zapier, Google Workspace integrations initiated by you). If you click on a third-party link or use a third-party integration, you will be directed to that third party's site or service. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit or service you use. This policy lists third-party services we use as sub-processors in Section 5.
17. Children's Privacy
Dentistry Dashboard is not intended for direct use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers. Patient-related data processed via User dictation into AI Notes may include information about children if they are patients at a User's dental practice; in such cases, the dental practice (as Data Controller) is responsible for ensuring lawful processing of the underlying patient information.
