Last updated: This policy explains what personal information Rubaga Dental Surgery ("RDS", "we", "us") collects through this website, why, and what choices you have.

What we collect

  • Contact and booking details you submit: full name, phone number, email address, and your chosen service, dentist, date, and time.
  • Messages you send us through the contact form or website chat assistant.
  • We do not collect detailed medical or dental history, images, or payment card details through this website. Please do not include this information in the contact form or chat — share it with our team in person or by phone instead.

Who can see your information

Only authorized RDS staff involved in scheduling and providing your care can access your booking details, on a least-privilege basis — for example, a dentist's dashboard only shows their own patients. Access to sensitive records is logged.

How long we keep it

RETENTION PERIOD — to be set by the clinic, e.g. in line with applicable healthcare record-keeping requirements in Uganda], after which it is securely deleted unless we're required to keep it longer by law.
