1. Overview
Angelalign Technology Inc., and its global subsidiaries (“Angelalign,” “we,” “us”) care about your privacy. This notice explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. You can contact our privacy team at privacyservices@angelaligner.com

3. How Angelalign Handles Your Personal Information
Angelalign can handle your information in two main ways, depending on how you interact with us:
When We are in Charge (Data Controller)
Sometimes we decide how and why your personal information is used — for example, when you:
- Create an account on our iOrtho platform
- Contact us for customer support
- Make a payment or receive a product directly from us
- Take part in marketing, training, or research with your consent
In these cases, we are responsible for:
- Keeping your information safe
- Telling you clearly how it is used
- Making sure you can access, correct, or delete it if you wish
When We Work for Your Clinic/Practice (Data Processor)
Sometimes your dentist or orthodontic clinic/practice is in charge of your data, and we simply process it on their behalf.
For example:
- When we host your treatment scans or plans for your clinic/practice
- When we provide digital tools your clinic/practices uses to manage your treatment
In these situations:
- Your clinic/practice decides what data we process and why
- We follow their instructions and keep your information secure
- We do not use your data for anything else
In Short
- If you are a patient, your clinic usually controls your data, and Angelalign helps by processing it securely.
