Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through the contents of the Sites, information about you
can be collected passively using technologies such as navigational data
collection. We may also use "Cookies" which are pieces of information
sent by a web server to your web browser to enable the server to collect
information and register preferences.
"Session Cookies" are temporary bits of information that are
erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise turn your computer
off. These cookies are used to improve navigation on Web sites and to
collect aggregate statistical information.
Navigational data is used for system management to improve the site content, for market
research purposes and to communicate information to visitors.
DentSure Limited is registered with the Data Protection Registrar (Number X4428671)
and is committed to upholding the eight Data Protection Principles of
excellent information handling practice.
Security
DentSure Sites take every precaution to protect personal information.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter personal information (such
as credit card number) that information is encrypted and is protected
by advanced encryption software- provided by Netbanx. Whilst on a secure
page, a padlock icon at the bottom of the browser page should be closed.
While we may use encryption technology to protect personal information
on-line, we also do everything in our power to protect user information
off-line. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or member of our assistance team)
are given access. Our employees must use passwords to access information.
They must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
protocols. Every quarter, or when new policies are added, our employees
are notified and/ or reminded about the importance we place on privacy,
and what they have to do to ensure our customers' information is protected.
All DentSure Company employees are subject to signed Confidentiality Agreements.
If you have any questions or comments about the security at our Sites, please
send an email to security@dentsure.co.uk.
