Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 October 2026
This policy explains how Martina Collins Dental & Skin Clinic Limited ("we", "us") collects and uses personal information through martinacollins.com. It covers this website only. If you're a patient, ask us at the clinic how we look after your patient records.
Who we are
Martina Collins Dental & Skin Clinic Limited is responsible for the information described here (the "data controller"). You can contact us:
- by email at info@martinacollins.com
- by phone on +44 (0)28 9066 6684
- by post at Martina Collins Dental & Skin Clinic, 1st Floor Rathgar House, 509-511 Lisburn Road, Belfast, BT9 7EZ
What we collect and why
When you ask us to call you back
Our callback form asks for your name and phone number, and you can also give us your email address, the treatment you're interested in and a message. We use these details to contact you about your enquiry. Please don't include more about your health than you need to. We rely on our legitimate interest in replying to people who contact us, and on taking the steps you've asked for before you become a patient.
When you apply for a job
Our job application form asks for your name, phone number and email address, and you can add a message and attach your CV. We use this to consider your application and to contact you about it. We rely on taking the steps you've asked for before entering into an employment contract, and on our legitimate interest in recruiting staff.
When you book online
Online booking takes you to our booking system at martina-collins-dental-and-skin.portal.dental, which is run by a separate provider. The details you enter there are shared with us so we can manage your appointment, and the provider's own privacy policy also applies.
When you browse the site
If you allow it, we use Google Analytics to see how visitors use the site and Google's advertising tools to measure our adverts. These collect things like the pages you visit, your device and browser, and a rough location based on your IP address. We only use them with your consent, and you can change your mind at any time in . Our Cookie Policy has the details.
Our forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which looks at information about your device and how you use the page to block spam and abuse. We rely on our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure. Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
Pages with our clinic map load the map from OpenStreetMap, which receives your IP address so it can send the map to your browser. If you message us on WhatsApp or follow a link to our social media pages, those services handle your information under their own privacy policies.
Who we share it with
We don't sell your information. We only share it with:
- the companies that host our website and deliver our email, so your form reaches us
- Google, for reCAPTCHA, and for analytics and advertising if you've allowed them
- our online booking provider, if you book online
Some of these providers, such as Google, may process information outside the UK. Where they do, they use safeguards recognised under UK data protection law.
How long we keep it
We keep callback requests only as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry. If you become a patient, your contact details become part of your patient record. We keep job applications for as long as we need them for that recruitment, and then delete them unless you've agreed we can keep them for future vacancies. Google keeps analytics data for the period set in our Google Analytics account.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the information we hold about you
- correct it, or delete it
- stop or limit how we use it
- send it to you or to another organisation
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. To use any of these rights, contact us using the details above. We'll reply within one month.
Complaints
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please contact us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
