Privacy Policy

Blossom Dental (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. We handle your personal and health information in line with the Privacy Act 2020 and the Health Information Privacy Code 2020.

What we collect

When you request a callback or book with us, we collect the details you give us — such as your name, phone number, email address, and the reason for your visit. As your dental provider we also hold health information needed for your care, such as your dental and medical history, treatment notes and X-rays.

How we use it

We use your information to contact you about your callback or appointment, to provide and follow up on your dental care, and to meet our legal and professional obligations. We do not sell your information or use it for unrelated marketing.

Who we share it with

We only share your information where it’s needed for your care — for example with a specialist we refer you to, or a laboratory — or where you agree, or where the law requires or allows it. Our website uses trusted service providers to deliver messages you send us; they may only use your information to provide that service.

Keeping it safe

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, and we keep health records for as long as the law requires.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you and ask us to correct it. We’ll respond as soon as we reasonably can, and within 20 working days. If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your information, please talk to us first — you can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
