Hi, I just found out my dentists office is using a program called "Second Opinion" produced by "Hello Pearl". There is literally no information about what this company does in the background with my information, however I know they at the very least have:

My full legal name
X-Rays of my teeth

I'm concerned because there is literally nothing online about how to opt out of them using your data for AI training. They are an AI company and the screen the Dentist was showing me showed a pop-up about provides information being able to be used for AI training. What should I do, what are my rights?

One of my old dentists told that that I could not have my own paid-for x-rays and my do's vet told me the same. So, I had to repay to get new ones and expose the body to my radiation. I avoid "experts" now. The feeling of being ripped off and disrespected makes me feel the need for another expert - A SHRINK!
