Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 11, 2026

dentfol.io ("dentfol.io," "we," "our," or "us") gives practicing dentists a public professional page. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have over your data.

Data controller: dentfol.io — contact privacy@dentfol.io.

This policy covers dentists who create accounts and visitors who view public profiles or use a call-to-book link. Privacy rights described below apply where the relevant law applies to dentfol.io and to the person making the request.

1. A note on how dentfol.io works

dentfol.io is a portfolio tool for dentists, not a patient records system. Dentists voluntarily build a professional profile and choose what to publish. A published profile is public and can be indexed by search engines. You control the publish state of your profile as a whole and of each showcase case individually, and you can unpublish or delete content at any time.

Do not submit patient identity or clinical text. dentfol.io is not a patient-records or appointment-intake system. Before publishing a case photograph, the dentist must attest either that the image is de-identified or that a signed patient marketing authorization is on file. We store the photograph and the attestation type and timestamp, but do not ask for the patient's name or contact details. An identifiable clinical image may still be regulated health information depending on who uploads it and the surrounding facts; dentfol.io does not make that legal determination. The dentist is responsible for HIPAA, authorization, employment-agreement, and state-board compliance and should have qualified counsel review the workflow.

2. Data we collect

2.1 Account data

2.2 Profile content you create

The information you add to build your page, most of which becomes public when you publish:

2.3 Call-to-book data

dentfol.io provides a link that calls the practice directly. We do not collect the caller's name, contact details, appointment reason, call audio, transcript, or call contents. We increment daily totals for: call-button selections (call taps), visitors who optionally report that they booked, and visitors who report that they did not book. Those totals are stored by dentist, practice location, date, and page source. We do not store a visitor, cookie, session, or device identifier with these totals. A reported outcome is not an appointment confirmation.

2.5 Payment data

4. How we use your data

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use published profile content for any purpose other than operating and displaying dentfol.io.

5. Service providers we share data with

We use a small set of trusted processors to run dentfol.io. We share only what each needs to do its job.

Vercel Hosting and privacy-friendly analytics IP address, aggregated page-view and performance data

OpenAI AI-assisted profile and case drafting, advertising-risk review, and optional identity-preserving headshot editing Profile text, a de-identified written case note, or the dentist's own photo when the dentist explicitly uses the headshot tool. Patient case photos are not sent to OpenAI during the pilot.

Each provider maintains its own privacy policy: Supabase, Vercel, Sentry, Lemon Squeezy, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

6. International data transfers

Our providers are primarily located in the United States, so your data may be transferred to and processed there. Where required, these transfers rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the data processing agreements we hold with each provider. If you have questions about transfers, contact privacy@dentfol.io.
