How The Dentists collects, uses and protects your personal information.

What we collect and why

Your information

We collect personal and health information you give us when you book, attend an appointment, or contact us. We use it to provide your care, keep accurate clinical records, contact you about appointments and meet our legal obligations.

Your clinical records are held securely and shared only with health professionals involved in your care, or where the law requires. We never sell your information.

Our website uses cookies and analytics to understand how it is used and to improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser.

You may ask to see or correct the personal information we hold about you at any time. Contact your practice, or email us through the Contact page.

This policy is reviewed periodically. Updates are published on this page.

Your personal information

The Dentists collects personal information when you contact us, send a form, download a document or create an account on this website. This page explains what we collect, why, and your rights under the Privacy Act 2020.

What we collect

The details you give us, such as your name, email address, phone number, company and your message, any files you send us, and the record of your visits described below.

When you first open our website, your browser may ask whether we can use your location. If you allow it, your browser works out which of our practices is nearest and takes you to that practice's pages. Your location stays in your browser: it is not sent to us or anyone else, and we don't keep it.

Reviews on this website are copied from our Google Business Profiles once a day and shown with the reviewer's name as it appears on Google.

How we use it

To reply to you, to provide what you asked for, and to understand which of our services you're interested in.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your personal information. The companies that host this website and send our emails store it for us and may only use it to provide that service.

Our forms use Google reCAPTCHA to tell people from automated spam; Google (in the United States) receives information about your device and how you use the form.

How we keep it safe

Your information is stored on secured servers that only authorised staff can access. Files you send us are checked for viruses before anyone opens them.

How long we keep it

We keep your details only as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry and keep our business records. Visit records are deleted after 24 months.

See, correct or delete your information

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Email whanganui@td.co.nz, phone 06 345 3030 or write to us at 163 Wicksteed Street, Whanganui 4500.

If you're not happy with how we handle your request, you can complain to the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz (opens in a new tab).

Your visits to this website

We record each visit: the pages you view, when, the site or ad you came from, and your type of device. We record IP addresses for security purposes. We use a cookie set by this website only, not shared with anyone else. It lasts 90 days from your last visit.

When you send us a form, we link your past and future visits to the details you gave us, so we understand what you're interested in.

We keep visit records for 24 months, then delete them. You can ask to see or delete everything we hold about you.
