Website Requirements for Dental Practices

Patient data is special category data under GDPR. That means higher security obligations and stricter consent requirements for your dental practice website.

Problèmes courants pour dentistes et soins de santé

Health data has extra protection

Under GDPR Article 9, health-related data gets special protection. Even a contact form mentioning dental issues counts.

Patient portals need strong security

If you offer online appointment booking or patient records access, your security obligations are higher than a regular business website.

Accessibility is critical

Healthcare websites serve people with disabilities. The EAA and WCAG requirements apply with extra relevance here.

Review platforms share data

Embedded Google Reviews or Zorgkaart widgets may transfer patient-related data to third parties without consent.
