Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Canadian Dental Care is operated by PublicVision Inc., a Canadian corporation.
Information we collect
We collect: email addresses (newsletter, contact form, clinic claims), IP addresses (spam prevention and approximate location for distance), cookies (analytics and preferences), and clinic-claim information submitted by clinic owners (name, role, contact details).
How we use information
To operate and improve the directory, match patients with nearby clinics, route appointment requests, send service communications you've opted into, and prevent abuse. We do not sell your personal information.
Quote requests: who sees your information
When you request quotes, we collect the service you need and your answers to its questions, your postal code, budget, preferred timing, name, email, phone, age range, gender (optional) and insurance type. You must tick a consent box before submitting, and the request only goes live after you click the confirmation link we email you. Then: (1) Shared requests — we send an anonymous preview (service, approximate distance, first 3 characters of your postal code, budget, timing, insurance, age range and your answers) to up to 10 nearby clinics; only clinics that pay to unlock it see your name, phone and email, and the maximum number of clinics that can unlock it (3–5 depending on the service) is shown to you before you submit. (2) Exclusive requests — only the one clinic you chose receives it. Clinics may use your details only to contact you about your request and send you a quote. We do not sell your information or share it for any other purpose. Requests stay open for 72 hours; after that no new clinic can unlock them.
Third-party services
We share data only with the providers needed to run the service: Resend (transactional email), Stripe (clinic payments for subscriptions and patient leads), and Supabase (database and authentication). Each processes data under its own privacy terms.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you can unsubscribe from emails at any time via the link in every message or by contacting us.
Cookies
We use cookies for analytics and to remember preferences (such as language and location). You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Compliance
We aim to comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
