The current commercial status of the website is explained in the Affiliate Disclosure.

External Websites

Dental Coverage Hub includes links to external websites for educational reference, source verification, and access to official information.

These websites may include:

• Insurance companies.
• dental savings or discount plan organizations.
• Government agencies.
• Professional organizations.

Before submitting personal information to an external website, review that website’s current privacy policy and terms.

Data Retention

Dental Coverage Hub retains personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

The relevant retention period may depend on:

Contact messages and related correspondence may be retained while an inquiry remains active and for a reasonable period afterward to maintain context, document actions taken, or respond to related questions.

Technical, security, and server logs may be retained according to the operational settings of the systems used to host, secure, and maintain the website.

Information that is no longer reasonably needed may be deleted, anonymized, or allowed to expire through normal retention and backup cycles, subject to legal, technical, or security requirements.

Deleting information from an active system may not immediately remove every temporary copy from backups or technical logs. Those copies may remain until the applicable backup or log cycle expires.
