Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information tmjspecialistguide.com collects and what it does not. There are no user accounts. We do not sell personal information. The only personal information we store is what you type into a review, plus ordinary hosting logs. Advertising and analytics scripts are not loaded on this site. Last updated: 2026-11-08.

Information we collect

Server logs. The host records standard logs: IP address, URL, time, and user-agent. We use them for security and troubleshooting. We do not sell them and we do not use them to build an advertising profile.

Reviews you submit. The review form asks for a display name, a star rating, an optional headline, and the review text. The server also stores the IP address of the submission so spam can be moderated. The IP address is not published. Reviews stay unpublished until a person approves them.

Preference storage. A short notice at the bottom of the page remembers, in your browser’s local storage, that you dismissed it. That storage is not an advertising cookie. No analytics cookie and no advertising cookie is set, because those scripts are not on the site.

Reviews are public once approved

An approved review is public. Search engines may index it. Do not include medical details, your full legal name, or anything you would not want published. To ask for an edit or removal, email hello@tmjspecialistguide.com.

Maps

Clinic pages do not load a Google Maps frame until you choose “Show map”. After that click, your browser requests the map from Google, and Google’s privacy policy applies to that request. Coordinates you share on the Near Me page are sent only to our own /api/nearby endpoint for that one lookup. They are not written to the database.

Clinic data and corrections

Listings come from public records, chiefly the CMS NPPES NPI registry, plus a practice website or hours only when a public business listing supplied them. We do not verify that a provider treats TMJ disorders, and we do not show third-party star ratings. To correct a listing, email hello@tmjspecialistguide.com with the page URL and the public source for the correction.

Advertising and analytics

This build does not include a Google AdSense tag, a Google Analytics tag, or an ads.txt publisher line. If the owner later enables advertising, the privacy policy and the consent notice will be updated first. Personalized ads on health-related pages are restricted by Google’s publisher policies. Visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland would also need a Google-certified consent management platform before any ad tag is called. The notice on this site is not that platform.

You can read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, including under the CCPA, the GDPR, UK GDPR, and Turkey’s KVKK, you may ask for access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold. Email hello@tmjspecialistguide.com and describe the request.
