Effective date: 19 December 2025

Faith Dental is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data with care, transparency, and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us, or register your interest in our dental services.

Faith Dental operates as a private dental practice based in Doncaster, United Kingdom. For the purposes of data protection law, Faith Dental is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

When you interact with our website or contact us, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and any information you choose to provide through enquiry or registration forms. If you contact us regarding dental services, the information you provide may include details relating to your dental needs or general health. This type of information is classed as special category data under UK GDPR and is treated with an enhanced level of care and confidentiality.

We collect and use personal data only where there is a lawful basis to do so. This includes where it is necessary to respond to enquiries, manage registrations of interest, arrange appointments once the practice opens, communicate with you about our services, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, or where you have given your explicit consent. Health-related information is processed solely for healthcare-related purposes or at your request.

Your data is used only for clear and legitimate purposes. These include responding to messages and enquiries, managing patient interest lists, providing information about the opening of the practice and available services, administering appointments, processing payments where applicable, improving our website and services, and ensuring compliance with professional, legal, and regulatory requirements.

Faith Dental does not sell or trade your personal data. Your information may be shared only where necessary, such as with trusted third-party service providers who support our website, booking systems, payment processing, or IT infrastructure. All third parties are required to handle your data securely and in compliance with data protection law. Where required, information may also be shared with regulators or authorities to meet legal obligations.

We take data security seriously and use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised individuals only, and systems are maintained to ensure confidentiality and integrity.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting legal, medical, and regulatory obligations. Patient-related records will be retained in line with professional dental record retention guidelines once the practice is operational.

Under UK GDPR, you have rights in relation to your personal data. These include the right to access your data, request correction of inaccurate information, request erasure where appropriate, restrict or object to processing, and request data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Requests can be made by contacting us using the details provided below.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure it functions correctly and to improve user experience. Full details about the cookies we use and how you can manage your preferences are provided in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the website footer.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, how your data is handled, or wish to exercise your data protection rights, you can contact us by email at info@faithdental.co.uk.

If you believe that your data has not been handled in accordance with data protection law, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK’s data protection authority.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or how we operate. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
