STATEMENT REGARDING OUR PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is of the utmost importance to Julien & Marin. That's why we take all necessary measures to protect the confidentiality of the personal information you entrust to us.
Whether it's to serve you on a daily basis, when you take advantage of services offered at our various centers, or to meet our legal obligations, we need to collect, use and communicate certain personal information.
The information we collect enables us to identify you and serve you in a way that meets your expectations. It also enables us to comply with various legal and regulatory requirements.
It is our responsibility to ensure that any information we collect is handled securely.
It is in this spirit that our Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) has been developed and is applied within our dental center. This statement explains why and how we collect, process and protect your personal information by applying the provisions of our Policy.
Our Policy Is Based on Four Main Principles:
- Your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by the professionals at our centers;
- Our commitment to collect only necessary personal information;
- Our responsibility to protect the security and confidentiality of your personal information;
- Our transparency regarding our practices and obligations in this regard.
Obtaining Your Consent
What Is My consent to the Collection, Use and Disclosure of my Personal Information?
By giving your consent, you authorize the treating professionals and members of the clinical team to collect, use and disclose your personal information in order to serve you and to meet their legal obligations.
This consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information is necessary to serve you. Generally speaking, it remains valid for as long as you are a patient at one of our centers.
Can I Withdraw my Consent to the Processing of my Personal Information or Refuse to Provide Certain Information?
If you decide to withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information required to serve you and to comply with our legal obligations, we will provide you with all the information required to explain the impact of such a decision on our provision of services.
In some cases, it may not be possible to withdraw consent at your discretion due to legal or contractual requirements.
If you refuse to allow us to collect certain personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the services you have requested.

Professionals and clinical teams are committed to protecting the confidentiality of the personal information they need to perform their duties. Should we need to communicate your personal information to other people, we will make sure to inform you and ask for your consent, if required.
In all cases, we ensure that security measures are in place to protect the personal information we disclose.
Ensuring the Security and Confidentiality of Your Information
Is My Personal Information Secure?
We rigorously apply a number of organizational, physical and technical security measures, such as restricting access to physical and digital files, monitoring premises and computer systems, and training staff, to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, use and disclosure, as well as against alteration, loss and theft.
How Long Is my Personal Information Kept?
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes for which it was collected, or for the minimum retention periods prescribed by the laws and regulations to which we are subject. Once the retention period has expired, we ensure that your personal information is destroyed.
Can I Access or Request Rectification of my Personal Information?
