STATEMENT REGARDING OUR POLICY ON THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

For Bentall Dental Centre, respecting your privacy is essential. This is why we take all the necessary measures to protect and keep confidential all personal information you entrust to us.

Whether to serve you daily, when you receive services in our dental clinic, or to comply with our legal obligations, we must collect, use and communicate certain personal information.

The information collected allows us to identify you and serve you in a way that meets your expectations and allows us to comply with different legal and regulatory requirements.

It is on that basis that our Personal Information Protection Policy (the “Policy”) was designed and is applied within our dental clinic. This statement explains why and how, applying the provisions of our Policy, we collect, process, and protect your personal information.


Our Policy is based on four main principles:

  • Your consent to the collection, use and communication of your personal information by professionals working in our dental clinic.
  • Our commitment to only collect necessary personal information.
  • Our responsibilities regarding the security and protection of the confidentiality of your personal information.
  • Our transparency regarding our practices and obligations in this regard.

Obtaining your consent

What does my consent to the collection, use and communication of personal information consist of?

By giving your consent, you authorize dental professionals and members of the clinical team to collect, use and communicate personal information, to serve you and comply with their legal obligations.

This consent to the collection, use and communication of your personal information is necessary to serve you. It remains valid as long as you are a patient in our dental clinic.


Can I withdraw my consent to the processing of my personal information or refuse to provide certain information?

If you decide to withdraw your consent to the collection, use and communication of your personal information necessary to serve you and to comply with our legal obligations, we will send you the required information to explain the repercussions of a such decision on our ability to provide our services.

In some cases, it will not be possible to withdraw this consent at your discretion due to legal or regulatory requirements.

If you object to us collecting certain personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the required services.

Limiting the collection of information to what is necessary.

Who has access to my personal information?

Professionals and clinical teams are committed to protecting the confidentiality of the personal information they need to perform their professional duties. In the event that we have to communicate your personal information to third parties, we will make sure to inform you and ask for your consent, where this is required.

In all cases, we ensure that security measures are put in place to ensure the protection of the personal information we communicate.

Ensuring the security and confidentiality of your information


Is my personal information secure?

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal information in our possession. We have taken steps to ensure that the only personnel, under a duty of confidentiality, who are granted access to your personal information are those with a business ‘need-to-know’ or whose duties reasonably require such information.


How long is my personal information kept?

We only retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with the minimum retention periods prescribed by the laws and regulations we are subjected to. Once the retention period has expired, we ensure that your personal information is destroyed.


Can I have access to my personal information or request correction?

You can ask us to access the personal information we hold or to correct it if it turns out to be inaccurate, incomplete or ambiguous. You can do the same if you wish to modify information that we hold, for example following a change in your personal situation or a change of address. It is your responsibility to contact us to update your information.

To do this, please consult the information provided in the “How to contact us” section.

I’m a Certified Dental Assistant, and what I enjoy most about my job is helping patients feel comfortable and cared for during their visits.

Every day is different, and I enjoy meeting new people and making their dental experience a positive one.

Outside of the clinic, I like staying active by playing tennis and going for runs. I find both are great ways to stay healthy, challenge myself, and unwind in my free time.
