Privacy, POPIA and customer requests

How to answer a customer who asks what you hold about them, asks you to delete it, or stops marketing.

Open Customers1 min readFor owners, admins, office staff

Your customers are your customers: you decide what to keep, and Dentz runs the software for you as your operator under POPIA. The two requests a customer can make are on their customer page under Record and privacy.

  1. Open the customer and expand Record and privacy.
  2. Export their data downloads everything you hold about them, to send however they asked (section 23).
  3. Erase at their request removes their name, number, email, address, photos and registration permanently (section 24). Type ERASE to confirm.

Unsubscribing

Marketing messages, like check-ins, carry an unsubscribe link. Once a customer unsubscribes, their email and number stop getting marketing from you — but quotes, invoices and repair reports still reach them.

Still stuck?

Press Get help in the portal or under More in the Dentz app, or email hello@dentz.co.za. A person answers, usually within the working day.
