This privacy notice explains how Dr. Arvind B ("we", "the practice") collects, uses, and protects the personal information of visitors to drarvindendodontist.in. This policy is designed to align with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 of India.

- WhatsApp: Your name, phone number, and any health-related information you share when seeking an appointment.
- Email: Any details you include in an email enquiry.
- Third-party platforms: If you submit a review or appointment request through linked platforms (e.g. ConsultDent, Google Business Profile), their respective privacy policies apply.
2. How Information Is Used
- To respond to your enquiry and arrange an appointment at the appropriate partner clinic.
- To provide ongoing dental care and clinical follow-up where applicable.
- For internal record keeping as required under dental practice regulations.
Your information is not sold, rented, or shared with any third-party advertisers or marketing companies.
3. Sharing of Information
Information may be shared in the following limited circumstances:
- With the partner dental clinic where your appointment is being scheduled, strictly for the purpose of arranging your treatment.
- With other registered medical or dental professionals where a referral or specialist opinion is required for your care.
- Where required by law, regulatory authority, or court order.
4. Data Retention
Personal communications via WhatsApp or email are retained only for as long as necessary to provide the service you requested or to comply with statutory record-keeping requirements applicable to dental practitioners in India.
5. Cookies and Analytics
This website does not currently set its own tracking cookies. If web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity) are added in the future, this policy will be updated and clear notice provided.
External services linked from this site (such as WhatsApp, Google Business Profile, or fonts loaded from Google Fonts) may set their own cookies as governed by their respective privacy policies.

7. Security
Reasonable measures are taken to protect any information you share. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. Sensitive medical details are best discussed in person at the clinic rather than over messaging platforms where possible.
