At Vitruvian Dental Studio, we take your privacy and data security very seriously. We understand that you may want to know more about how your personal information is handled, including requests for data deletion.
As a dental practice, we are legally required to retain certain patient records for a specified duration, in compliance with UK regulations. These requirements are set by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and professional guidance from the General Dental Council (GDC).
Under UK law, we must retain dental records for at least 11 years from the last date of treatment or until the patient turns 25, whichever is longer. This retention period is crucial for ensuring continuity of care, meeting regulatory standards, and protecting both patients and healthcare providers.
Please note that while we cannot delete certain records due to these legal obligations, we are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring it is only used for the purposes for which it was collected. If you have any questions or concerns about your personal data, please feel free to contact us directly.
Your privacy matters to us, and we are here to help with any enquiries you may have.
