How We Use Your Data
Your data is used exclusively to provide OralAI's screening service:
- To capture and validate 4 images — your face photo first, then 3 dental images
- To run YOLOv8 object detection on your dental images
- To generate a personalised AI analysis report in your chosen language
- To create and deliver your PDF screening report via download, email, or WhatsApp
- To improve the accuracy and performance of our AI models (anonymised and aggregated only)
- To respond to support requests or contact inquiries
Storage & Security
OralAI is hosted on AWS EC2 (Amazon Web Services) infrastructure with the following protections:
- All data transmitted over HTTPS/TLS encryption
- Server access restricted to the development team only via key-based authentication
- Face and dental images are processed in real-time and not permanently stored after the report is generated
- Patient personal details are stored in access-controlled databases not exposed publicly
- Regular security reviews conducted by the development team
Image & Health Data
Because OralAI processes dental and face images — a category of sensitive health-related data under the DPDP Act, 2023 — we take extra precautions:
- All 4 images are processed only by our automated AI pipeline (YOLOv8 + language model)
- Your face image is used for patient identification in the PDF report only — it is not used for facial recognition or biometric profiling
- No human team member manually reviews your images unless you contact us for support and explicitly consent
- Images are not shared with dentists, clinics, or any third party without your explicit consent
- AI-generated reports are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a medical diagnosis
WhatsApp & Email
When you choose to receive your report via WhatsApp or Email:
- Your phone number is used only to send the PDF report via the WhatsApp Business API
- Your email address is used only to deliver the screening report
- We do not send promotional messages, newsletters, or unsolicited communications
- Your contact details are not shared with WhatsApp/Meta beyond what is technically required for message delivery
- If delivery fails, we do not retry more than twice and do not store contact info beyond 30 days
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in these limited situations:
- Service providers: AWS (hosting), WhatsApp Business API, email delivery service — solely to operate OralAI, bound by confidentiality obligations
- Legal obligation: If required by Indian law, a valid court order, or a competent government authority
- Academic research: Only fully anonymised, aggregated data — never individual records or identifiable information
