Who we are
EmergencyDentistNearMe.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an independent directory that helps people find emergency and NHS/private dental practices near them. We are not affiliated with the NHS, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), or the General Dental Council (GDC).
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your information, contact us at info@emergencydentistnearme.com.
What information we collect
- Search and location information: if you search by postcode, town, or allow your browser to share your location, we use this to show you nearby dental practices. We don’t store your precise location beyond what’s needed to return search results.
- Enquiry/contact form details: if you submit a form (for example, an emergency dental enquiry), we collect what you enter — typically your name, contact details, and a description of your situation — so we can connect you with a suitable listed practice.
- Cookies and similar technologies: we use cookies for essential site functionality, analytics, and (only with your consent, managed through our cookie banner) non-essential purposes. You can change your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in our footer.
- Technical/usage data: standard web server logs and analytics data (e.g. pages viewed, browser type, approximate location derived from IP address) collected automatically when you visit the site.
How we use your information
- To show you relevant dental practices and directions to them
- To pass your enquiry to a dental practice you choose to contact through the site
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site
- To understand how the site is used (via analytics)
- To comply with our legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party services we use
Depending on how you use the site, your information may be processed by:
- Google Analytics — website usage analytics
- Google Maps — for showing practice locations and directions
- Uber — if you choose to open a ride request to a listed practice, Uber processes that request under its own privacy policy; we do not see your Uber account details
- The listed dental practice itself, if you submit an enquiry to be passed on to them
- Our hosting, security, and form-handling providers, who process data on our behalf to keep the site running
Some of these providers may process data outside the UK/EEA. Where they do, they provide appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
How long we keep your information
We keep enquiry/contact form submissions only as long as needed to connect you with a practice and resolve any follow-up, and analytics data in aggregated or anonymised form thereafter.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete your information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request a copy of your information in a portable format
To exercise any of these rights, email info@emergencydentistnearme.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
