1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how SwissAligner ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the SwissAligner mobile application ("the App").

The App connects patients, dental practices, and the SwissAligner lab for orthodontic aligner treatment communication. We process data only to provide and improve this service. We do not sell your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

The App is intended for users involved in an active SwissAligner treatment case (patients, dentists, and authorized lab staff). Use of the App requires an account provided or created in connection with your treatment.
