Mobile Application and OrthoPulse® Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the ways in which Biolux Technology (“we,” “our,” or “us”), collects, uses, and discloses information about you through the OrthoPulse® and the associated OrthoPulse® mobile application (the “OrthoPulse® App”). (We refer to the OrthoPulse® and the OrthoPulse® App collectively as the “OrthoPulse® System”.) By using an OrthoPulse® or the OrthoPulse® App, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, now and as amended by us.

What Information Do We Collect?

The information we collect from users is an essential component of the OrthoPulse® System:

  • Information You or Your Dental Provider Share with Us:
  • We and our service providers collect and store any information that you provide to us, as well as information that is provided to us by your dentist, orthodontist or other treatment provider. If you, your dentist, orthodontist or other treatment provider create a provider or patient account linked to your name or contact information (an “Account”), we collect the registration information that is shared with us. We collect information when you contact us via the OrthoPulse® App with a request, question, or comment. We collect information about patients when dental providers create patient Accounts, when patients access their Accounts via the OrthoPulse® App, and when an OrthoPulse® syncs with the OrthoPulse® App. The information provided to us may include, but is not limited to: (a) your name, contact information, email address, password, OrthoPulse® device serial number, and other registration information; (b) your personal details such as your age and gender; (c) orthodontic treatment details such as your treatment start date; (d) information regarding your usage of the OrthoPulse®, such as the date, time, and duration of your use; and (e) information you provide us when you contact us with a request, question, or comment. Even if you, as a patient, do not use the OrthoPulse® App, your dental treatment provider may send us information regarding your usage of your OrthoPulse® by syncing your OrthoPulse® with his or her OrthoPulse® App.

  • Information Automatically Collected From You:
  • We and our service providers collect and store certain types of technical information from your mobile device over time whenever you interact with us through the OrthoPulse® App, such as: your Internet Protocol address; your general geographic location (e.g., for purposes of determining your time zone); your mobile device’s model, software version, IP address, and network status; information about how and when you use the OrthoPulse® App and/or your mobile device.
