Data Sources & Removal

This page explains, in plain language, where Readout’s dental account intelligence comes from and how to request access, correction, or removal. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1Where our data comes from

Readout builds business account intelligence about dental practices and related organizations from public sources that we are permitted to access, such as:

• Public clinic websites, including service pages, technology pages, and provider bios;
• Public business records, public licensing and registry pages, and similar filings;
• Public listings, reviews, and job posts;
• Similar professional or business sources.

2What we don’t collect

3How we crawl responsibly

We check source policies, including robots.txt where applicable, and do not crawl pages where our crawler is disallowed. We do not intentionally bypass access controls, login walls, paywalls, or technical restrictions. Each material claim in an account readout is tied to the source and evidence behind it, so the basis for a data point can be reviewed.

4Observations, not verified truth

Readout records observations from public sources. A source observation does not necessarily mean a fact is complete, current, or independently verified. We provide evidence-backed intelligence to support sales research — not definitive operational audits — and results should be independently verified before you rely on them.

5Request access, correction, or removal

If you are a dental professional or practice owner and appear in Readout, you may request to access, correct, suppress, or remove information about you, or ask us not to share or contact. Email devon@readoutdental.com and, where possible, include:

• Your name and role;
• The clinic or practice name;
• A record URL or the clinic name as it appears in Readout;
• The type of request — access, correction, suppression, removal, do-not-sell/share, or do-not-contact;
• Any verification details that help us confirm the request.

We will verify and respond consistent with applicable law and our legal obligations. Some information may be retained where we have a legal basis or obligation to keep it.
