Privacy Policy

Visitors to our websites

When someone visits enhancedentalek.co.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

We also use WordPress Jetpack to collect information about our site usage and help keep it secure.  Details of their privacy policy are here.

People who email us

We use Office 365 to send and receive e-mails.  Information you send to us will be used for the purpose of your enquiry and stored on Office 365 until we have dealt with your query.

We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt and protect email traffic in line with industry security standards. If your email service does not support TLS, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit.

People who use our services

Enhance Dental offers various services to the public.  We have to hold the details of the people who have requested the service in order to provide it. However, we only use these details to provide the service the person has requested and for other closely related purposes. For example, we might use information about people who have requested a treatment to carry out a survey to find out if they are happy with the level of service they received.

Complaints or queries

Enhance Dental tries to meet the highest standards when collecting and using personal information. For this reason, we take any complaints we receive about this very seriously. We encourage people to bring it to our attention if they think that our collection or use of information is unfair, misleading or inappropriate. We would also welcome any suggestions for improving our procedures.

This privacy notice was drafted with brevity and clarity in mind. It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of Enhance Dental’s collection and use of personal information. However, we are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed. Any requests for this should be sent to the practice postal address.

If you want to make a complaint about the way we have processed your personal information, you can contact the statutory body which oversees data protection law – www.ico.org.uk/concerns.

Access to personal information

Enhance Dental tries to be as open as it can be in terms of giving people access to their personal information. Individuals can find out if we hold any personal information by making a ‘subject access request’ under the Data Protection Act 1998. If we do hold information about you we will:

• give you a description of it;
• tell you why we are holding it;
• tell you who it could be disclosed to; and
• let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

To make a request to us for any personal information we may hold you need to put the request in writing to the practice.

If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone.

If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by, once again, contacting us via post.

Disclosure of personal information

In many circumstances we will not disclose personal data without consent, in certain circumstances when required by law, we may need to disclose your information to a third party.
