2. What personal data we collect

Dentist Cost UK is an information-only website. We do not require accounts, do not sell products, and do not run a clinic. We collect the minimum personal data needed to operate the site:

• Email correspondence — if you contact us via info@multiligo.com or info@multiligo.com, we receive your email address, name (if provided) and the content of your message.
• Server logs — our hosting provider automatically records anonymised access information (IP address, user agent, referrer, requested URL, timestamp) for security and abuse prevention. Logs are kept for up to 30 days.
• Cookies — see our Cookie Policy for a detailed list. We only set non-essential cookies after you opt in.

We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising networks or behavioural-tracking tools. If we add any in the future, they will be optional, require opt-in consent and be documented in our Cookie Policy.

3. Lawful basis for processing

Under UK GDPR Article 6 we rely on the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) — for security logging and responding to your email enquiries.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for any optional analytics or functional cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — where we have to retain data to comply with UK law.

4. How we use your data

We use personal data only for the purposes described below:

• To reply to your email enquiries and corrections.
• To maintain site security, prevent abuse, and investigate technical problems.
• (Only with consent) To understand which pages are most useful so we can improve content.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

5. Who we share data with

We share personal data only with the suppliers strictly necessary to run the website:

• Hosting provider — to deliver the website. Server logs are processed by our hosting provider on our behalf.
• Email provider — to receive and reply to messages sent to our published email addresses.

All suppliers are bound by data-processing agreements and are required to apply appropriate technical and organisational measures. We do not share data with advertising networks or data brokers.

6. International transfers

Our company is established in Turkey. Personal data submitted via email may be transferred outside the United Kingdom (for example, to our registered office in Istanbul) for the purposes of replying to your enquiry. Where transfers occur, we rely on the UK's Adequacy Decision (where one exists) or appropriate safeguards under UK GDPR Chapter V, such as the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

7. How long we keep your data

• Email correspondence: up to 24 months after the last contact, unless ongoing dialogue requires longer retention.
• Server logs: up to 30 days, then automatically purged.
• Cookie preferences: stored in your browser's local storage for 12 months from your last decision, after which we ask again.
