The short version: this website collects very little, uses no advertising or tracking cookies, and never sells your information.

What we collect

  • When you browse: nothing that identifies you. Like every website, our hosting provider processes basic technical data (such as your IP address and browser type) to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.
  • When you email us or join the newsletter: your email address and anything you choose to write. We use it only to reply to you or to send ToothOps updates you asked for.
  • Visitor statistics: if we measure visits, we use a cookie-free service that reports totals only (for example, how many people read a post), never who you are.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
  • We don’t sell, rent, or trade your information.
  • We don’t ask for health information. Please don’t send us personal medical or dental details — we can’t give individual advice.

Some free resources open on Google Drive, and some links lead to other websites (such as Instagram, TikTok, or journal articles). Those services have their own privacy policies, which apply when you use them.

Newsletter

You can unsubscribe from any newsletter email at any time, or email toothops@gmail.com and we’ll remove you.

Children

This site is meant for students in college and beyond. It is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.

Changes and questions

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Questions? Email toothops@gmail.com.
