Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2026

Who is responsible

Check Dental Cost is operated by Dr. Srinjoy Banerjee, the responsible contact for this website's privacy questions and requests. Contact contact@checkdentalcost.com. This policy covers checkdentalcost.com, not third-party sites or services you choose to visit.

The short version

• There are no accounts, no sign-up forms and no quote-request forms on this site.
• Calculator calculations run in your browser. New planning handoffs use temporary URL fragments, removed from the destination address before analytics initializes; they are not stored in localStorage.
• We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, which pages are useful. It sets cookies.
• We do not sell personal information, and we do not show third-party advertising.

Information we collect

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google. It collects information such as the pages you view, the approximate region you are visiting from (derived from your IP address, which Google does not store in full), your browser and device type, the site that referred you, and how long you stay. It uses first-party cookies (for example _ga) to tell one visit from another. We have configured Google's consent settings so that advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation are denied; the data is used for site measurement only.

Read how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy for its data handling. Advertising settings being denied does not by itself mean analytics cookies are disabled.

We manage and have verified our Plausible analytics setup, delivered through a Cloudflare-hosted proxy. It provides aggregate page-view and referrer measurement. Its settings are separate from Google Analytics; hosting and proxy services may still process technical request data.

Hosting and security logs

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical request data — IP address, requested URL, time, and browser user-agent — to deliver pages and to protect the site against abuse. We do not combine these logs with any other information to identify you.

Do not put treatment details or amounts in URL query strings: those are included in hosting requests. Older shared links may contain such parameters; the tools no longer generate amount-bearing query links. Analytics page locations and referrers are reduced to origin and path. Planning fragments may be visible to browser extensions or someone viewing a link before navigation; do not include personal or medical identifiers.

Calculator activity events

We measure tool starts, result updates, print actions and source-link clicks using page path and tool identifiers only. We do not include input values, email addresses, procedure selections or free text in these events. A tool result is an educational calculation, not a consultation or insurer approval.

Email you send us

If you email us at contact@checkdentalcost.com, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it to handle your enquiry, privacy request or correction and maintain necessary correspondence records. Please do not send health records or other sensitive personal information.

Information we do not collect

• We do not offer a health, dental or insurance-record upload service. Please do not email such records.
• Calculator inputs are not submitted to a clinic or stored in a patient database. If you explicitly choose a share or copy action, its summary can include your entered quote; the destination you choose has its own privacy practices.
• We do not collect payment information. Nothing is sold on this site.
• Fonts and stylesheets are served from our own domain, so loading a page does not contact a third-party font service.

How we use information

Aggregated analytics help us decide which guides to improve, which locations to add, and whether pages load properly. We do not use it to build profiles of individual visitors, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who we share information with

The site's service infrastructure includes Google Analytics, Cloudflare hosting/security and the configured Plausible analytics proxy. Email correspondence is also processed by the email services used to send and receive it. Providers may process information in the United States and other countries; email and proxy hosting locations are not specified here as verified facts. We may disclose information if required to do so by law. We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Your choices

• Opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on, or by blocking or deleting cookies in your browser settings. The site works normally without them.
• Ask about your information. Email the responsible contact to request access, correction or deletion of information you have sent us. We assess requests under applicable law and necessary retention obligations. Aggregate analytics may not be attributable to a particular visitor, and no patient account exists.

Residents of Canada

Depending on the law applicable to you and to this site, privacy rights may include requesting access, correction, deletion or withdrawal of consent. We accept privacy enquiries from Canadian readers at the address below. Providers may process information outside your province and Canada. This notice does not claim that every Canadian privacy law applies identically to every visitor or processing activity.

Residents of California and other US states

Rights and the applicability of state privacy laws depend on the jurisdiction and circumstances. You can contact us to request information, correction or deletion. We do not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not claim that every state-law requirement has been independently assessed or that analytics consent settings alone establish legal compliance.

Children

This site is written for adults planning dental treatment for themselves or their families. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Retention

Google Analytics retention depends on property settings and the type of data or report. The current Google Analytics property and hosting retention periods are not specified here; contact us to request clarification. Our team has verified the Plausible setup, but this notice does not state an exact Plausible retention period. Correspondence is kept as needed to handle the enquiry, document corrections and meet applicable obligations, then deleted when no longer needed.

Changes to this policy

If our practices change — for example, if we add a form or a new service provider — we will update this page and the date above before the change takes effect.
