Privacy and Data Handling
What DSOCompare collects, why it is collected, where it goes, and how to request deletion.
Who controls the information
DSOCompare is published and operated by Blane Jackson, DDS/MBA. Privacy, access, correction, and deletion requests may be sent to sbevans4@hotmail.com. Include only enough information to identify the request; do not attach deal documents.
Information collected
- Contact and service information: email plus fixed transaction-stage, timing, and concern-category selections submitted through the public category-only request.
- Payment confirmation: Stripe session identifiers, product, amount, currency, payment status, and checkout email. DSOCompare does not receive full card numbers.
- Site use: Google Analytics interaction data after a human interaction signal. Referral and UTM query values are removed from the visible URL before analytics initialization and are not stored by DSOCompare.
- Support email: information the sender chooses to place in an ordinary email. Availability-request drafts are limited to a request for notice when secure intake reopens; senders are instructed not to include transaction terms or documents.
Why the information is used
Information is used to respond to category-only requests, provide the checklist, prevent duplicate or fraudulent submissions, maintain historical payment and accounting records, measure aggregate site interaction, and answer support or privacy requests. New checkout and paid fulfillment are paused. DSOCompare does not sell personal information.
Service providers
Information may be processed by Vercel for site hosting, Supabase for form and checkout functions and service records, Stripe for historical payment records, Resend for transactional email, Google Analytics for interaction measurement, and the email provider used for support. Each provider processes information under its own terms and security controls.
Browser storage
Paid-form answers and transaction details are not saved in browser localStorage. DSOCompare removes legacy referral-attribution storage values and does not persist new referral or UTM query values in browser storage.
Retention and deletion
Unpaid inquiry and historical pre-checkout records are retained only as long as operationally needed. No fixed automatic deletion deadline is currently implemented, so records may remain longer than 90 days. Paid-order, payment, tax, accounting, dispute, and security records may be kept as required for those purposes. This notice will be updated before any confidential-document intake reopens.
To request deletion, correction, or a copy of submitted information, email sbevans4@hotmail.com with the subject “DSOCompare privacy request.” Identity may need to be verified before acting on the request. Information that must be retained for payment, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute, or legal obligations may be restricted instead of deleted immediately.
Security and limits
DSOCompare uses HTTPS and relies on access controls and security measures provided by its hosting, database, payment, and email vendors. No internet transmission is risk-free. The safest boundary is data minimization: use the free-review form only for high-level categories and do not send source documents while confidential-document intake is paused.
Children and patient information
The service is for adult dental practice owners and their professional advisors. It is not directed to children. Do not submit patient records, protected health information, or information not needed for the requested commercial-term review.
Changes
Material changes to this notice will be posted here with a revised date. If a change materially affects an active paid order, DSOCompare will provide additional notice using the checkout email when practicable.
