Privacy Policy
This policy explains what The Aesthetic Index collects when you use the site, request pricing, ask for a recommendation, or submit a device review.
Information we collect
We collect the information you type into our forms: your name, email address, phone number (optional), business type, ZIP code, purchase timeline, whether you're interested in financing, and any notes you add. Review submissions also include your reviewer name, business name (optional), rating, and written feedback.
We do not collect payment details, medical records, or patient information. Please never submit patient data through our forms.
How we use it
Pricing requests and recommendation requests are used to connect you with relevant equipment suppliers, distributors, or financing partners, and to follow up on your request. Review submissions are moderated and, once approved, published on the relevant device profile — your reviewer name and business name may appear publicly.
We do not sell your information for unrelated advertising purposes.
Who we share it with
We share lead details with the manufacturers, distributors, or financing partners relevant to the specific request you submitted, and with service providers who host our infrastructure and send email on our behalf.
Retention and security
Submissions are stored in our hosted database with access restricted to site administrators. We keep lead records for as long as needed to service your inquiry and meet our record-keeping obligations, then delete them.
Your choices
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the information you submitted, or to withdraw a published review, by contacting us through the request form on any device page. We will honour verified requests within a reasonable time.
Editorial independence
Device data, pricing ranges, and FDA status information are research estimates compiled from public sources, including the FDA 510(k) database — see our FDA guide. They are not manufacturer quotes or regulatory advice.
