Live Demo on This Website

The "paste your URL" live demo on our homepage is a public, read-only demonstration of our AI assistant. The following applies to the demo specifically:

• Ephemeral messages. Chat messages you type in the demo are used only to generate an AI response for the current session. They are not written to our database and are automatically discarded within one hour when the session expires.
• Not a HIPAA-covered entity in this context. When you use the demo, you are interacting with DentzAI's public marketing site, not with a dental practice. We are not acting as a HIPAA Covered Entity or Business Associate for this interaction. Do not submit Protected Health Information through the demo.
• Third-party transit. To generate responses, your typed messages are sent to OpenAI's API. OpenAI does not use API data to train models and retains it for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring. See the AI Transparency section below for details.
• No contact capture. The demo does not collect your name, email, phone number, or any other identifying information. There is no form and no sign-up required to try the demo.
• Website content scanned. When you paste a URL, we fetch up to 3 pages of that website to train the demo AI. We only fetch publicly accessible pages and only store the text for the 1-hour session lifetime.

AI Transparency

DentzAI uses artificial intelligence to power its chat assistant. Our AI is provided by OpenAI.

How it works:When a visitor interacts with the chat widget, conversation messages are sent to OpenAI's API to generate real-time responses based on your website content and knowledge base.

Your data is protected:

• OpenAI does not use API data to train or improve their models
• API data may be retained by OpenAI for up to 30 days for safety monitoring, after which it is deleted
• All data is transmitted over encrypted connections
• We do not use AI to make automated decisions that produce legal effects on individuals

Google account data (such as calendar availability) is handled separately from AI services and is never sent to OpenAI or any other AI provider. For full details, see the Google User Data section below.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, practice name, and billing information. This information is necessary to provide our services and process payments.

1.2 Website Data

When you connect your dental practice website, our system reads publicly available content from your site — including service descriptions, office hours, insurance information, and FAQs — to train your AI chatbot. We store this content to power chatbot responses.

1.3 Chatbot Conversations

We collect and store conversations between your website visitors and the AI chatbot. This includes messages sent by visitors (which may contain their name, phone number, email address, and service interests) and responses generated by the AI. These conversations are stored to provide lead capture functionality and to improve chatbot accuracy for your practice.

1.4 Visitor Information

We collect technical information about visitors who interact with the chatbot, including browser type, device type, approximate geographic location, referring URL, and pages visited on your website. We use browser fingerprinting and cookies to recognize returning visitors.

1.5 Usage Data

We collect information about how you use our dashboard, including pages viewed, features used, and actions taken. This helps us improve our product.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our AI chatbot service
• Train your chatbot on your practice-specific information
• Deliver lead notifications and conversation transcripts to your team
• Recognize returning visitors and provide them with contextual responses
• Process payments and manage your subscription
• Send transactional emails (lead alerts, account updates, billing receipts)
• Analyze usage patterns to improve our product
• Respond to your support requests

3. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored on secure, encrypted servers hosted in the United States. We use industry-standard security measures including:

• TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit
• AES-256 encryption for data at rest
• Access controls limiting employee access to customer data
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Secure, isolated database environments per organization

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Chatbot conversation data is retained for the duration of your subscription. Upon account deletion, we remove all associated data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following categories of third-party services to operate our platform:

• AI Processing: We use OpenAI to generate chatbot responses. Conversation content is sent to OpenAI for processing. OpenAI does not use this data to train their models under our agreement.
• Payment Processing: Stripe handles all payment transactions. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
• Authentication: We use a third-party authentication provider to manage secure login.
• Email Delivery: Transactional emails (lead notifications, receipts) are sent through a third-party email service.
• Analytics: We use analytics services to understand product usage and improve our service.
• Error Monitoring: We use error tracking services to identify and fix software issues.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data or your patients' data with third parties for marketing purposes. Data shared with third-party services is limited to what is necessary to provide our service.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our service uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: Required for authentication, session management, and core functionality.
• Visitor Recognition: The chatbot widget uses cookies and browser fingerprinting to recognize returning visitors, enabling personalized greetings and continuity across visits.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how our dashboard is used so we can improve the product.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you and your practice.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Data Portability: Request an export of your lead and conversation data.
• Opt-Out: Opt out of non-essential analytics tracking.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, and port your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@dentzai.com. We will respond within one month.

7. Data Processing for Dental Practices

As a service provider to dental practices, we act as a data processor on your behalf. You remain the data controller for all patient inquiry data collected through the chatbot. We process this data only according to your instructions and the terms of our service agreement.

We recommend that dental practices include a notice on their website informing visitors that an AI chatbot is in use and that conversations are recorded for the purpose of responding to inquiries and scheduling.

8. Google User Data

DentzAI integrates with Google services when you choose to connect your Google account (e.g., Google Calendar for appointment scheduling). We access only the data needed to deliver the features you enable.

• We do not sell, share, or disclose your Google data to any third party
• Google data is never used for advertising or any unrelated purpose
• We do not use Google user data to train AI or machine learning models
• Google OAuth tokens are stored encrypted in our database and are deleted when you disconnect

You can disconnect any Google integration at any time from your dashboard settings. You can also revoke access from your Google Account permissions page.

DentzAI's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is intended for use by dental practice staff and adult website visitors. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the chatbot, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Text Message (SMS) Alerts

If you enable text message alerts in your account, we collect the mobile phone number you provide and a record of your consent in order to send you transactional notifications about your account, such as new lead alerts. These alerts go to the practice account holder and are not used to transmit patient health information. Message frequency varies based on your account activity. Message and data rates may apply.

We do not share or sell your mobile information, text-messaging opt-in, or consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We share this information only with the messaging provider that delivers the messages (Twilio), and only as needed to send the alerts you requested.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, or by turning off text alerts in your account settings. For help, reply HELP or contact us through our support page. See our SMS Terms for details.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through a notice on our dashboard. Your continued use of the service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
