Privacy Policy

Version 2026-10-16. Platform Prepared is a trade name of Gaul Consulting LLC, Washington.

In plain terms: we collect only what we need to run your account and our website, we never sell it, and patient information is protected under our Business Associate Agreement.

1. Who we are

Gaul Consulting LLC, doing business as Platform Prepared ("we"), provides operating-partner services to dental practices. This policy covers our website (platformprepared.com), our client portal, and our services.

2. What we collect

3. Patient information

Protected health information is governed by the Business Associate Agreement, not this policy. We use it only to provide our services, only the minimum necessary, and we never sell it. Emails from us never include patient details.

4. How we use information

We don't sell personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.

5. Who we share it with

Only the service providers we need to operate, each bound to protect it: Google Firebase (hosting, sign-in, and data storage), Stripe (payments), Resend (account emails), Calendly (booking calls), and Google Analytics (website statistics). We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

6. Cookies and similar tools

The portal stores sign-in information in your browser so you stay signed in. Our website uses Google Analytics cookies. We don't use advertising cookies.

7. How long we keep it

For as long as you are a client, and then as long as needed for legal, tax, and accounting records. Patient information is returned or destroyed as the Business Associate Agreement describes.

8. Security

We use access controls, encrypted connections, and role-based permissions so each person sees only what they should. No system is perfectly secure, and we'll notify you of a breach as the law and our agreements require.

9. Your choices

You can ask to see, correct, or delete your information by emailing leadership@platformprepared.com. Some records must be kept for legal or tax reasons.

10. Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the version date above and tell clients in the portal.
