Plain-English Summary

AutomatedFront provides Alex, an AI phone assistant that answers the calls a dental practice's team can't take and books appointments in the practice's calendar. This policy explains what data we process about practices (our clients), the patients and other people who call them, and visitors to this website; why we process it; which providers help us; and your rights under the GDPR and, where applicable, US state law.

01

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 — Business Client Data

When a practice becomes a client, we collect:

1.2 — Caller Data (via Alex)

When someone calls a practice and the call is forwarded to Alex, we may process:

1.3 — Website Data

02

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

⚠️
We Do Not Sell Personal Data

AutomatedFront does not sell, rent, or trade personal information — whether from business clients, callers or website visitors — to any third party for advertising or marketing purposes.

03

AI VOICE & AUDIO RECORDING

🎙️
AI Disclosure

Alex is an artificial intelligence voice assistant, not a human. By default, Alex introduces itself as an automated assistant at the start of the call, and confirms it is an AI to any caller who asks.

3.1 — Call Recording and Transcripts

Calls handled by Alex are transcribed, and may be recorded where the practice has enabled recording and it is permitted. Recordings and transcripts are available to the practice in its AutomatedFront dashboard and to authorised AutomatedFront personnel, and are kept for up to 90 days by default before automatic deletion (see section 8).

3.2 — Role of the Practice

For caller data, the practice decides why and how its calls are handled; AutomatedFront processes that data on the practice's behalf to provide the service. The practice is responsible for informing its patients, including about call recording where required by local law.

04

CALLS, EMAILS & OPT-OUTS

4.1 — Inbound Calls Only

Alex answers inbound calls that a practice forwards to it. Alex does not place outbound calls to patients or callers.

4.2 — No Calls from Website Forms

Submitting a form on this website does not trigger an automated phone call. If you request a demo, a member of our team contacts you.

4.3 — Emails

Emails related to the service (for example notifications to the practice, invoices and replies to support requests) are transactional. Business emails we send for marketing purposes include an unsubscribe link.

4.4 — Opt-Out

If you ask us not to contact you again — by replying to an email, through the unsubscribe link, or by writing to privacy@automatedfront.com — we record the request and stop further contact. Opt-out records are kept so that we do not contact you again by mistake.
