If you do not want to be prominently featured, contact us in advance at privacy@dentistryingeneral.com. We will try to honor reasonable requests, but we cannot guarantee that incidental capture in crowd, audience, or public event settings can always be avoided.

Our Platform is a media, community, event, and business platform. It is not intended for the routine collection of patient charts, treatment records, insurance records, or protected health information through general website forms, standard email, social media messages, or standard event registration channels.

Please do not send patient records, clinical images containing patient identifiers, protected health information, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive information through general contact forms, ordinary email, or social media unless we have specifically directed you to a secure method for that purpose.

If we receive information that does not belong in these channels, we may delete it, secure it, or otherwise handle it as appropriate.

Our Platform is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information online from a child under 13 in a way that requires action, we will take appropriate steps.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

• operate our business and Platform
• maintain records
• administer events, payments, and registrations
• support sponsor, exhibitor, and community administration
• comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations
• resolve disputes
• enforce agreements and policies

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, and you may have the right to opt out of certain disclosures or uses.
