This page describes what data The Aligner Guide actually collects and how

it is used.

Analytics

The site uses Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to

measure how pages are used. These tools collect page-visit data such as

pages viewed, approximate location, device, and referral source. They do

not give us your name, contact details, or health information, and we do

not ask for those through analytics.

Contact route

If you contact us through the editorial contact route, we receive only

what you choose to send: typically a name, email address, subject, and

message. Do not send medical or dental records, photographs, symptoms, or

other health information — we delete such content rather than use it.

Retention and rights

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond, and we do not

sell or share personal data. You can ask us to delete a message you sent

by contacting us through the same route.

No medical data

This site does not collect, store, or process medical or dental records.
