Privacy Policy and Disclosure
Karachi Dental Guide is a patient information website published for Dr. Shahid Islam Dental Clinic. This page explains, in plain language, what this site does and does not do with your information.
What this website collects
Very little, by design. This website has no contact forms, no user accounts, no comments section and no online booking system of its own, so it does not ask for or store your name, phone number, email address or health details. You can read every page without giving us anything. Like most websites, the hosting service that delivers these pages may keep standard technical logs, such as the pages requested and the type of browser used, for security and reliability purposes. Those logs are not used by us to identify individual readers.
Contacting the clinic
All contact routes on this site lead directly to the clinic, not to this website. The phone and WhatsApp links connect you to the clinic's number, +92 344 212 3913, and the email link opens your own email app addressed to appointments@drshahidislam.com. If you choose to share details about your symptoms, X-rays or treatment history through those channels, that information goes to the clinic team for the purpose of arranging and providing your care. WhatsApp is operated by Meta and email by your own provider; their handling of messages is covered by their own privacy policies.
Cookies and embedded content
This website does not set cookies of its own. One page, the contact page, embeds a Google Map to show the clinic's location. Embedded content from Google behaves as if you visited Google's own service, and Google may set cookies or collect usage data under its own privacy policy when the map loads. No advertising trackers or social media pixels are installed on this site.
External links disclosure
This site links to the clinic's official website, drshahidislam.com, and to sister information sites in our clinic network: the Dental Knowledge Centre, the Dental Resources Library and the DHA Karachi Dental Local Guide. Those links are provided because the content is genuinely useful to patients, and this site exists to support the clinic described on it. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any other external website you may reach from here.
Medical information disclaimer
The information on this website is general patient education. It does not replace an examination, and it is not a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation for your individual case. Dental conditions that look similar can need very different treatment, which is why the clinic examines and takes X-rays before advising. If you have severe pain, swelling, bleeding or a dental injury, contact the clinic or seek emergency care rather than relying on any website.
Changes and questions
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page. If you have a question about privacy or about how the clinic handles your information, email appointments@drshahidislam.com or call +92 344 212 3913 during clinic hours.
