Privacy Policy

How we handle personal data on the vodett.ai website — what we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have under the GDPR.

Last updated: 24 August 2026

1. Introduction

Effective date: 24 August 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Vodett (registered in St. Pölten, Austria — “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, stores and protects information when you visit our website at vodett.ai, contact us, use our mobile applications, or otherwise interact with our services.

Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our patients, practices and website visitors is important to us. We understand that any information you share in a dental healthcare context is sensitive, and we handle it responsibly, lawfully and transparently, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

This policy applies to visitors who browse our website, individuals who submit our contact form, patients and prospective patients who request information or appointments through a dental practice, parents or legal guardians acting on behalf of a child, anyone who communicates with us, and users of the Vodett mobile applications (iOS and Android), where applicable.

Please read this policy carefully. By using our website or providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the website or submit information through it.

Note: This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled through our website (vodett.ai) and online channels. Where you are a patient of a dental practice that uses Vodett, that practice acts as the Data Controller of your patient records, and your clinical information is processed separately under the terms applicable between you and that practice.

2. Information we collect

We collect personal data only where relevant to your interaction with us — information you provide directly, information collected automatically when you use the website, and, where applicable, information from our mobile applications:

We do not collect sensitive health information through this website beyond what you voluntarily include in a message. Please do not submit detailed medical information through the general contact form; where more detail is needed, we will tell you the appropriate and secure way to provide it.

  • Contact and enquiry information: when you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number (optional) and the content of your message. Without your name, email address and message we cannot process your enquiry.
  • Server log and technical information: when you access the website, technical information is recorded automatically, including your IP address, the date and time of access, the pages requested, your browser type and version, your operating system and the referrer URL.
  • Language preference: we store your chosen language (English or German) so the website is shown in your preferred language on later visits.
  • Mobile app permissions: our iOS and Android apps may request access to your Microphone (for AI voice-to-action transcription, with personal information redacted) and your Camera & Photo Library (to upload documents and X-rays to patient records). These are requested only when you use the related feature.
  • Vodett application account: if you register for or sign in to the application at app.vodett.ai, your data is processed separately under the terms applicable to that product.
  • Information you voluntarily provide: any other details you choose to share, for example through feedback or additional information in an enquiry.

3. Dental and health information

Because Vodett operates in a dental healthcare context, you may choose to share information relating to your dental or general health when you contact us, or when a dental practice uses our services to support your care.

When health-related information is provided, we treat it as confidential and use it only for legitimate healthcare, administrative, legal or operational purposes. We limit access to authorized personnel, apply reasonable safeguards, handle it in accordance with the GDPR and other applicable laws, and do not use it for advertising or sell it to third parties.

Where your dental practice uses Vodett, that practice is the Data Controller of your clinical records. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your patient records, please contact your dental practice directly. Vodett acts as a processor supporting the practice and will assist as instructed and as required by law.

4. How we use information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Responding to enquiries submitted through the contact form or other channels.
  • Communicating with you about your requests and our services.
  • Providing and maintaining the website and ensuring its stability and security.
  • Storing your language preference to display the site in your chosen language.
  • Providing mobile app functionality, such as voice-to-action features and document or X-ray uploads.
  • Improving website and product functionality and the user experience.
  • Maintaining security and preventing fraud, spam, abuse or misuse.
  • Meeting legal, regulatory and professional obligations and maintaining business records.

5. Legal basis for processing

We process personal data on the following legal bases under Art. 6(1) GDPR, depending on the context:

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

  • Steps prior to a contract or performance of a service — Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — for handling enquiries submitted through the contact form at your request.
  • Legitimate interests — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — for handling correspondence, ensuring the secure and reliable operation of the website (based on server log data), and presenting the website in your preferred language.
  • Consent — Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — where you have given permission for a specific purpose, for example optional communications or any future analytics or marketing cookies.
  • Legal obligations — Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR — where we are required to process information to comply with applicable laws or professional obligations.

6. Cookies and tracking technologies

This website sets a single functional cookie named NEXT_LOCALE, which stores your language preference (English or German) so the site is displayed in your chosen language on later visits. This cookie is technically necessary for the language feature, does not track you across websites and contains no profile data.

We do not currently use any tracking, analytics or marketing cookies. Should this change, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where legally required, ask for your consent beforehand.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling the functional cookie may affect the language feature of the website.

7. Hosting, content delivery and service providers

To operate our website and services we rely on the following service providers, which act as processors bound by our instructions under Art. 28 GDPR:

Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the EU/EEA, the transfer is safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, where applicable, an adequacy decision such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We do not currently use third-party analytics, advertising or tracking services on this website.

  • Hosting and content delivery: this website is hosted by Hostinger, which processes server log data on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
  • Email delivery: messages submitted through the contact form are transmitted to us by email using Twilio SendGrid, which processes the transmitted data (name, email address, phone number, message) solely to deliver your message to us and in accordance with our instructions.

8. How we share information

We share personal data only with the service providers named in this policy (hosting/content delivery and email delivery), which act as processors bound by our instructions. We do not sell personal data and do not share it with third parties for advertising purposes.

Beyond that, personal data may be disclosed:

  • To your dental practice, where they are the Data Controller of your patient records.
  • To authorized personnel who need it to assist you.
  • To professional advisers, such as legal or accounting advisers, where necessary.
  • To government authorities or law enforcement, only where we are legally obliged to do so, for example on the basis of a statutory request.

9. Protection and security

We maintain reasonable technical, administrative and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction. These include access controls and need-to-know access, secure hosting and infrastructure, encryption of certain data in transit where appropriate, redaction of personal information in AI voice processing, staff confidentiality obligations and regular review of our security practices.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Where you have account credentials, you are responsible for keeping them confidential, and you should notify us immediately if you believe your account or information has been compromised.

10. Data retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary:

  • Contact enquiries are stored for as long as necessary to handle your request and are deleted afterwards, unless statutory retention obligations require longer storage.
  • Server log data is retained for a limited period of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized, unless a longer retention is required to investigate a specific security incident.
  • Patient records held by a dental practice using Vodett are retained under that practice's retention policies and applicable healthcare record-keeping obligations.

11. International data transfers

Some of the service providers or infrastructure we use may be located in, or process information in, countries outside the EU/EEA, which may have different data protection laws.

Where such transfers take place, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an adequacy decision (for example, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework), consistent with the GDPR and applicable law.

12. Your privacy rights

Subject to statutory requirements, you have the following rights with regard to your personal data:

To exercise your rights, please contact us at support@vodett.ai (see Contact us below). Some rights may be limited where we must retain information for healthcare, legal or regulatory obligations, and requests about patient records held by your dental practice should be directed to that practice. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding.

  • Right of access to the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR).
  • Right to rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR).
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR).
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR).
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
  • Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR).
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

13. Data deletion

You have the right to request the deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time.

To request data deletion, please contact your dental practice directly (as they are the Data Controller of your patient records), or contact Vodett support at support@vodett.ai. We will permanently delete your account and associated data in accordance with our data retention policies and legal obligations.

14. Children's privacy

Vodett operates in a dental healthcare context, and we recognize that parents or legal guardians may submit information on behalf of children in connection with dental care.

Where information relating to a child is provided, we expect it to be submitted by a parent or legal guardian, or with appropriate authorization, and we handle it with the same care and confidentiality as other health-related information. Our website does not prohibit minors from accessing information about our services, and we understand that families use our services together.

If you believe a child has provided us with information without appropriate consent, please contact us at support@vodett.ai and we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.

15. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, tools or services that are not operated or controlled by us — including the Vodett application at app.vodett.ai, which is governed by its own applicable terms and privacy notices.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information.

16. Communications

We may use your contact information to communicate with you by email, to respond to your enquiries and requests, and to send important service notices about the website or our services.

Service-related communications — such as responses to your enquiry and important notices — are necessary to provide the services you request and are sent on the basis of our legitimate interest or steps taken at your request.

17. Marketing communications

We will only send promotional or marketing communications where this is permitted by applicable law and, where required, where you have opted in or otherwise consented. You will not automatically receive marketing messages simply by contacting us.

If you do receive marketing communications, you can opt out at any time, for example by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us at support@vodett.ai. Opting out of marketing will not affect essential service-related communications.

18. Data breach and security incidents

We maintain procedures designed to help us detect, respond to, investigate and manage security incidents involving personal information. In the event of an incident that affects personal information, we will:

  • Take appropriate steps to contain and assess the incident.
  • Investigate its cause and scope.
  • Take reasonable steps to mitigate potential harm.
  • Notify affected individuals and/or the relevant supervisory authority where required by the GDPR or other applicable law, within the required timeframes.
  • Review and improve our safeguards where necessary.

19. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We review this Privacy Policy regularly and may update it when the data processing on this website or in our services changes, or to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will publish the updated version on this website and update the “Last updated” date shown at the top of this policy. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of significant changes. Effective date: 24 August 2026.
