Last updated: May 2026

DentistsDirectory.org ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Search queries — ZIP codes, city names, or dentist names you enter in the search box. These are not linked to your identity.
• Usage data — standard server logs including IP address, browser type, and pages visited, retained for up to 30 days for security and analytics purposes.
• Contact form submissions — if you use the "Claim Your Profile" or contact form, we collect the name and email address you provide.

Dentist Data

All dentist listings are sourced from the CMS NPPES NPI Registry, a US Government public database. This data is publicly available and not collected from users. We do not sell or share dentist profile data with third parties.

How We Use Your Information

• To return relevant search results
• To respond to profile claim or contact requests
• To improve site performance and diagnose technical issues

Cookies

We use only essential cookies necessary for the site to function. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

Third-Party Services

We do not share your personal information with third parties except as required by law or to deliver services you explicitly request (e.g., sending an email reply).

Data Retention

Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your request.

Your Rights

You may request deletion of any personal data you've submitted to us by emailing [email protected].
