Privacy policy
How we collect, use and protect your personal data and your patients' data when you use Dently.
Last updated: September 7, 2026
Version 1.4 — September 30, 2026. This policy is accepted electronically when the account is created. The accepted version, with its date and time, is recorded on the platform. This is a courtesy translation: the Spanish version is the authentic one and prevails in case of discrepancy.
1. Who is the data controller
The controller for personal data collected through this site and the Dently platform is:
- Carlos Frederick Díaz Sánchez (individual — self-employed), operating under the trade name Dently.
- Tax ID (NIF): 02336521C.
- General contact: support@dently.es.
- Privacy and exercise of rights: privacy@dently.es.
Hereinafter, "Dently", "we". You can also review ourLegal notice.
2. What data we process
Dently processes two distinct types of data:
2.1 Data of professionals and clinics that hire Dently
- Identification data: first name, last name, email, phone.
- Professional data: clinic name, role, specialty.
- Billing data when applicable.
- Platform usage data (logs, IP address, browser).
2.2 Patient data managed by clinics
When a clinic uses Dently, it stores and manages patient data (identification, contact, appointments, clinical notes, etc.). For this processing Dently acts as adata processor; the controller is always the contracting clinic. The relationship is governed by theData processing agreement, accepted electronically when the account is created.
Clinical notes and any other information about the patient's health are aspecial category of personal data under article 9 of the GDPR. The clinic, as data controller, is responsible for obtaining the patient's explicit consent or applying the corresponding legal basis under article 9.2 (for example, provision of healthcare) and for maintaining its own privacy notice to the patient. Dently, as data processor, applies enhanced security measures (encryption in transit, encrypted backups, role-based access control and audit trails of activity on the clinical schedule) and processes this data only following the clinic's instructions. The full and up-to-date detail of these measures, including their limitations, is set out in Annex I of theData Processing Agreement.
3. What we use the data for
- To provide the contracted appointment, patient and doctor management service.
- To respond to demo requests, queries and technical support.
- To send operational communications about your account.
- To comply with legal obligations (tax, accounting, etc.).
- To improve the product based on aggregated and anonymized information.
- To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns (e.g. which ad led to a demo request or sign-up), only if you accept marketing cookies.
- To analyze, in aggregate, how the website is used so we can improve it (Google Analytics), only if you accept analytics cookies.
4. Legal basis
The processing described is based on contract performance (when you are already a customer or have requested information), consent (when you voluntarily fill out a form) and compliance with legal obligations. For patient data, the legal basis lies with the clinic acting as data controller.
The use of cookies and advertising measurement technologies (Google Ads) and analytics (Google Analytics) is based solely on your consent, which you can grant or withdraw at any time from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. If you do not grant it, these technologies store no identifiers on your device.
5. Who we share your data with
We only share personal data with vendors we need to operate the service, always under contract and with adequate security guarantees:
- Hetzner Online GmbH — server and database hosting.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — backup storage (R2), content delivery network and security services.
- Resend, Inc. — transactional email delivery.
- Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. — subscription payment processing, when applicable.
- WhatsApp Ireland Limited (Meta group) — WhatsApp messaging to patients, only when the clinic connects its WhatsApp number to Dently.
- Google Ireland Limited — advertising conversion measurement (Google Ads) and website usage analytics (Google Analytics), only per the cookies you accept (marketing and/or analytics).

- Data for the defense of legal claims: during the limitation periods of any applicable legal actions.
