DNLink Extension — Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 3, 2026

What DNLink Does

DNLink imports cases from a lab's signed-in scanner portals into its DentNode account. Shining3D and UPCERA use portal download automation. For 3Shape Communicate, Start enables capture of case requests so DentNode can retrieve the original files and prescription from the regional service.

Data Collected

The 3Shape integration captures only case GET requests while an import run is active on:

• 3shapecommunicate.com — dental case portal traffic

This includes:

• Case IDs, regional case URLs, creation dates and versions
• The existing session bearer, used in memory to retrieve the lab's cases from 3Shape
• DentNode then retrieves case metadata, patient and clinician information, prescriptions, scans and photographs for the import

The captured data is sent to the signed-in lab's DentNode account at app.dentnode.com (or the explicitly selected local development server). Files are stored privately using DentNode's storage infrastructure and accessed through lab-authorized requests. This import path does not send data to an AI provider.

Data NOT Collected

• No general browsing history is collected. If the user enables the optional browser bridge and explicitly connects a tab, its URL, title and page snapshot are sent to DentNode for that session.
• No keystrokes, form inputs, or passwords are captured
• Automatic case-request capture is limited to the 3Shape portal. Other portal automation and the optional browser bridge access only sites for which the user has granted access.
• No cookies are read or stored by the extension

Permissions Explained

• storage — saves preferences, DentNode sign-in and run progress locally
• tabs, tabGroups, sidePanel — manages the visible DentNode run and its controls
• downloads — receives case archives initiated by download automation
• scripting and optional host access — attaches the integration to a portal the user connects
• identity — supports DentNode sign-in

Data Storage & Retention

Import progress, login health and case-failure events are sent to DentNode for service reliability. This telemetry excludes prescription text, patient names, scan contents and session bearer credentials. The optional browser bridge sends connected-tab content and performs user-requested page actions only while enabled; it uses packaged extension functions and does not download executable code.

3Shape bearer credentials are neither logged nor persisted by the extension or importer. Stop disables capture and clears queued imports; an already accepted server import finishes safely. Imported case data and original files remain in the owning lab's DentNode account. Preferences, DentNode sign-in and progress are stored locally in Chrome.

Third-Party Sharing

DNLink does not sell user data or use it for advertising, creditworthiness or lending. Data is used only to provide and support the user-requested DentNode integration. It communicates with the selected scanner portal and DentNode to perform the requested import; DentNode uses its hosting and private storage providers to retain the lab's case records.
