Privacy
How I handle your information.
Dental information is sensitive. This page is the practical version of my privacy approach, what I collect, why, and how I look after it. A formal privacy notice is published before launch.
Six principles I work to
How I look after your information.
I collect the minimum needed
Forms ask only for what I need to respond. I do not request clinical history online beyond a short summary; sensitive detail is shared securely after I am in touch.
I treat health-related messages as sensitive
Anything you describe about symptoms, treatment, or medical history is treated as special-category personal data under GDPR and handled accordingly.
I do not publish identifiable case media
Photographs, radiographs, and clinical media are only published with explicit, written patient consent and only after de-identification has been reviewed.
I document data flows
Where I use a service provider, for example secure email or scheduling, I record what data is shared, why, and how long it is kept.
I retain for a defined period
Enquiry messages are retained only while needed to respond. Clinical records follow Dental Council of Ireland and Irish health record retention guidance.
You can reach the data controller
Dr. Shah is the data controller for this site. You can ask what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it where retention rules allow.
