We also collect data generated through your use of the Service, including saved clinical notes and form data. We do not collect patient information - users should never enter real patient identifying information into the Service.

We use your information to:

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a cloud-hosted database platform. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Supabase - Authentication, database, and data storage

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We only share the minimum information necessary for these services to function.
6. Cookies
DentNotes uses essential cookies for authentication and session management. These cookies are necessary for the Service to function correctly and cannot be disabled. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you wish to delete your account and associated data, please contact us at the email address below. We will delete your data within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law.
