Privacy Policy
Last Modified: April 29, 2026
ARCH PGOL TECHNOLOGIES INC. (“PGOL”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a corporation incorporated pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act. PGOL operates a dental lab management platform (the “Platform”) that enables dental laboratories to manage the full case lifecycle, including prescription intake, case tracking, production management, quality control, shipping, billing, and client communication. The Platform is accessible at app.archforlabs.com, and various subdomains. PGOL also operates a website at www.archforlabs.com (the “Website”) which provides general information about PGOL and the Platform. Further to our Terms of Use, available at www.archforlabs.com/terms (the “Terms”) and the Enterprise Subscription Agreement entered into between PGOL and the organization that subscribes to the Platform on behalf of end-users (the “Enterprise Agreement”), this Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, store, use, and disclose personal information, personal health information, and other data in connection with the Platform and the Website. Unless otherwise indicated, any capitalized terms in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning attributed to them in our Terms or Enterprise Agreement.
By agreeing to our Terms, or by accessing or using the Platform or Website, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information and health data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your organization’s Enterprise Agreement may contain additional terms governing PGOL’s handling of data, and in the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Enterprise Agreement, the Enterprise Agreement shall prevail.
As the Platform and Website continue to evolve, we may, at any time, revise this Privacy Policy by updating this page. The date of the last version of this Privacy Policy is posted above. We will provide you with no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any material amendments to this Privacy Policy by sending an email to the address associated with your account and/or by displaying a prominent notice within the Platform. Material amendments include, without limitation, changes to the types of personal information collected, the purposes for which personal information is used or disclosed, data handling practices, third-party sharing arrangements, or any other provision that materially affects your privacy rights or obligations under this Privacy Policy. Non-material amendments (such as corrections of typographical errors or minor clarifications that do not affect your rights or obligations) may be made by updating this page without prior notice. Where a material amendment requires your affirmative acceptance, we may present you with an in-Platform prompt requiring you to review and accept the updated Privacy Policy before continuing to use the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform or Website following the effective date of any other amendment constitutes your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with a material amendment, you may terminate your account within the thirty (30) day notice period without penalty. For clarity, termination of your individual account does not terminate any Enterprise Agreement between PGOL and your organization, and your organization’s obligations under the Enterprise Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms.
Visitors to the Website are not required to create an account or provide any personal information. However, if you visit the Website without signing in to the Platform, we may still collect certain information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited and session duration, through the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in Part IV below. If you voluntarily provide personal information through the Website (for example, by completing a contact form or sending us an email), you consent to our collection and use of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms have the meanings set out below: “Derived Data” means any de-identified, aggregated, anonymized or otherwise non-personally-identifiable data derived from personal information, Health Data or other data collected through the Platform; “Health Data” means personal health information as defined under the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (Ontario), S.O. 2004, c. 3, Sched. A (“PHIPA”) and personal information relating to health as governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), S.C. 2000, c. 5 (“PIPEDA”); “AI Features” means the artificial intelligence and machine learning features available on the Platform, including automated prescription reading, case routing, quality control evaluation and remake pattern detection; “AI Service Providers” means third-party artificial intelligence service providers engaged by PGOL (or you or your enterprise directly) in connection with the provision of AI Features; and “Platform Infrastructure Providers” means third-party providers of hosting, cloud computing, database management and content delivery services engaged and managed by PGOL in the ordinary course of operating the Platform and the Website.
If you believe that we have not adhered to this Privacy Policy or would like to request an amendment to personal information being held by us, please contact our Privacy Officer by e-mail sent to privacy@archforlabs.com.
PART I: COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Personal Information of Other Individuals
To the extent you (or your organization’s end users) provide us with, or upload data to the Platform that includes the personal information or Health Data of another individual, including patient information associated with dental cases, you represent and warrant that you (or your organization) have obtained all necessary consents and authorizations required by applicable law to provide us with such information and to permit our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms and the Enterprise Agreement, including for the purposes of de-identification, aggregation, generation of Derived Data, and training and improvement of AI Features. If the required consents and authorizations have not been obtained, you agree not to upload or provide us with any such information.
In certain cases, the Platform may be accessed by end users who are not employees of the subscribing dental laboratory but are instead dental professionals (such as dentists or their staff) who access the Platform under the laboratory’s subscription to submit cases, upload prescriptions and scans, and track case status. Where such end users upload or input personal information or Health Data to the Platform, that information is collected and processed by PGOL in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms and the Enterprise Agreement between PGOL and the subscribing laboratory. If you are a dental professional or other health information custodian accessing the Platform as an end user, you are solely responsible for ensuring that you have an appropriate legal basis under applicable privacy legislation, including PHIPA, to disclose personal health information through the Platform. PGOL does not independently verify whether such end users have obtained the necessary consents or authorizations required by applicable law.

- Full name;

Payment Processing
We may also collect credit card and payment information from you via a third-party payment processor. As of the last date this Privacy Policy was updated, we use Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates, with their privacy policy available at https://stripe.com/en-ca/privacy.
Although we may display or link to their forms on our Website or Platform, when you provide your payment details in connection with a subscription to our Platform, you are providing them to the applicable payment processor. You acknowledge that our third-party payment processors may have their own agreements which apply to you. While we will not have access to your entire credit card number, we will be able to bill your credit card and may have access to certain card and payment details such as the name on your card, billing address and card expiration date. If you have questions regarding our payment processor, please contact us.

Data Residency and Cross-Border Transfers
The Platform is hosted on servers that may be located in Canada and the United States. Personal information and Health Data may be processed and stored in jurisdictions outside of your province or country of residence, including the United States.

As of the date of this Privacy Policy, the Platform is designed for use by dental laboratories operating in Canada and the United States. Our data collection and processing practices were not designed to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (“GDPR”).

Security Safeguards
PGOL implements security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information and Health Data in its custody or control. These safeguards include encryption of data in transit and at rest, role-based access controls that limit access to personal information and Health Data to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis, audit logging and monitoring of access to systems that store personal information and Health Data, secure authentication mechanisms including multi-factor authentication for administrative access, and regular review of security practices and procedures. While no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, PGOL is committed to protecting your personal information and Health Data using commercially reasonable and industry-standard measures. If you have questions about the security of your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer.
Retention of Your Personal Information
We keep your personal information and Health Data for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was collected. There is no single retention period applicable to the various types of personal information or Health Data collected. Please contact us if you would like to delete any personal information we hold about you following the termination of your account or your use of the Platform. Enterprise organizations that are party to an Enterprise Agreement are responsible for maintaining their own privacy policies governing the personal information and Health Data of their patients and other persons that they collect and store in connection with the Platform, including policies on the retention of such information.
