Notice for visitors from the EEA or UK
The Dentally Times is created for a UAE audience. We do not target users located in the EEA or UK and we do not provide region specific cookie consent banners required by European or UK laws. If you are located in the EEA or UK and do not wish to interact under these conditions, you should leave the website immediately.
You may delete or control cookies at any time through your browser settings.
6. Embedded content and third parties
Articles and clinic pages may include embedded content from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn. These platforms may place cookies and collect usage data according to their own privacy practices.
7. Legal bases for processing where applicable
Because we do not target the EEA or UK, legal bases listed under those jurisdictions apply only if required by law. For general global visitors, we rely on legitimate interests to operate a functional and secure magazine, process inquiries and forward quotation requests.
We do not conduct automated decision-making with legal or significant effects.
8. No sale or sharing for targeted advertising
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share data for cross context behavioral advertising.
9. Your rights and how to exercise them
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or limit the use of your personal information. To exercise rights, contact info@thedentallytimes.com. Verification may be required.
10. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as it is necessary to operate The Dentally Times, provide the services you request or comply with applicable legal obligations. There is no fixed retention period. Information such as comments, contact form messages and quotation submissions is stored securely and may be deleted at any time upon request from the data owner.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not intentionally share your information with third parties other than the dental clinic you choose to contact through our quotation forms or the service providers required to operate our website. All information is handled with confidentiality and security measures consistent with UAE standards.
When data is no longer needed or when we receive a valid deletion request, we securely delete or anonymize the information.
11. International data transfers
The Dentally Times operates from the United Arab Emirates and uses international service providers for hosting, analytics, email delivery and technical infrastructure. As a result, your information may be processed in countries outside your own, including the United States.
These transfers occur solely for the purpose of operating the website and delivering the services you request. We do not sell personal information, and we do not monetize data by sharing it with advertisers or unrelated entities. We work only with reputable providers that implement security measures to protect your information.
By using our website, you acknowledge that some data processing may occur outside the UAE for operational and security purposes.
12. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures including TLS encryption, multifactor authentication for administrators, security controls and limited retention of encrypted backups. While no system is entirely secure, we take steps to protect your information.
13. Children
The Dentally Times is intended for adults eighteen and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact info@thedentallytimes.com and we will delete it.
14. Government and legal requests
We may disclose information when required by UAE law or valid legal process. We limit disclosures to what is legally necessary. When lawful, we will notify affected parties before providing information or as soon as permitted.
15. Content related to clinics and businesses
Our editorial content highlights dental clinics and is not intended to publish private personal information without consent. If you believe any content identifies you or your clinic incorrectly or without intention, contact us, and we will review your request within ten business days.
Use of publicly available business information
When creating clinic profiles or editorial features, we rely solely on information that is already publicly available, such as website content, publicly shared images, logos and contact details. We do not collect or publish private or non public information about clinics. Clinics may request updates or corrections to public information displayed on our platform by contacting us.
16. Service providers
We use limited service providers for hosting, analytics, email delivery, content distribution and security operations. These providers process information under confidentiality and according to our instructions. A list or description of providers is available upon request.
17. Medical disclaimer and limits of use
The Dentally Times is an editorial and informational platform. Nothing published on this website should be interpreted as medical advice. Only licensed dental professionals can provide diagnosis or treatment recommendations. Any information exchanged through quotation forms is strictly non medical in nature and is intended solely to facilitate communication between you and the clinic you choose.
