Privacy notice.

How we handle information submitted to this website, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

Who we are

Burchell Dental Laboratory ("we") is a dental laboratory at 13 Guillaume Ave, Bordeaux, Randburg, 2194, registered with the South African Dental Technicians Council (Lab Reg. No. LA0232, Practice No. 0930000022675). For any privacy query, contact burchelldental@gmail.com or call (011) 789 6383/4.

What we collect

Why we collect it

Information is used only to respond to your enquiry, and to manufacture, quote for and deliver the dental work prescribed by the referring practitioner. We do not sell or rent information, and we do not share it with third parties except where strictly necessary to deliver the work (for example a courier for collection and delivery) or where the law requires it.

Patient information

We ask practices to submit a patient reference (initials or a file number) rather than a patient's full name or identifying details. We are a business-to-business laboratory: we do not hold patient clinical records, and we do not diagnose, treat or advise patients. Any clinical images we publish are used only with the relevant consent, and are cropped so that individuals are not identifiable.

How long we keep it

Enquiry correspondence and case records are kept only as long as needed for the work, for warranty and remake purposes, and to meet our legal and accounting obligations — after which they are deleted or securely destroyed.

How we protect it

Your rights

Under POPIA you may ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Contact us at burchelldental@gmail.com and we will respond within a reasonable period. You also have the right to complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.

Third-party content

Our contact page embeds a Google Map so you can find the laboratory. Google may set its own cookies when that map loads; please see Google's privacy policy for details. No other third-party content is embedded.
