Terms of Use
The "Egyptian Dental Community" (EDC) is a digital platform owned and operated by EDC Hub for Information Technology LLC. By using this platform, you acknowledge that EDC Hub provides the technical infrastructure and management for the professional community.
EDC is restricted to licensed dental professionals. You agree to provide accurate clinical proof for verification. Access remains in a pending status until credentials are authenticated by our administrative team.
Your professional data is sacred. EDC does not sell your information, clinical data, or contact lists to suppliers or third parties.
EDC Hub for Information Technology acts strictly as a technical intermediary. Any dental consultations, clinical advice, or professional opinions shared on the platform are provided solely by individual licensed practitioners. EDC Hub does not provide medical or dental services and is not liable for professional advice exchanged between users.
Users must engage professionally and follow evidence-based standards. Strict Prohibition: Do not post patient-identifiable information (PII). All shared clinical cases must be de-identified to maintain patient confidentiality in accordance with Egyptian healthcare regulations.
Some workflows include optional connectivity via WhatsApp for onboarding and coordination. You maintain full control and may opt out at any time.
Privacy Policy
We collect account details (name, phone, specialty) and verification documents. Our data processing practices comply with the Egyptian Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 151 of 2020).
Data is used to maintain a trusted professional environment, prevent unauthorized access, and facilitate the technical operation of the platform.
Verification files are stored in encrypted, non-public directories. Access is strictly limited to authorized administrators for the sole purpose of eligibility review.
Under the PDPL, you have the right to access, rectify, or request the deletion of your personal data. For requests or inquiries, contact our Data Protection representative at info@edchub.org.
When you use our free dental consultation — the chatbot on the free-consultation page, the consultation wizard, or WhatsApp — we collect the information you choose to provide: your name, phone number, email or WhatsApp number, governorate and area, and the dental symptoms or treatment you describe. We use this information only to understand your request, match you with the closest suitable verified clinic, and issue your referral code.
To arrange your visit, we share the consultation details you provide with the verified clinic we match you with. We also rely on trusted service providers to run the platform (secure hosting and email or WhatsApp messaging). We do not sell your personal data.
We use essential cookies to keep your session and remember your language. We also use Google AdSense and Google analytics and advertising services, which may set cookies to measure and show ads. You can control or clear cookies in your browser settings. Visitors in the EU and EEA are asked to consent before any non-essential cookie is set.
We keep consultation and referral records only for as long as needed to provide the service and meet our legal obligations, after which they are deleted or anonymized. You can ask us to delete your data at any time using the contact above.
