Dear patient,
The protection of your personal data is important to us. In accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are obliged to inform you about the purposes for which our practice collects, stores, or forwards data. This information also explains your rights with regard to data protection.
1. Responsibility for data processing
The person responsible for data processing is: Dr. Wiebke Nitsch
Practice name: Kinderarztpraxis am Grindelberg
Address: Grindelberg 3 II, 20144 Hamburg
Contact details: 040/448211, info@kinderarztpraxis-am-grindelberg.de
2. Purpose of data processing
Data processing is carried out in accordance with legal requirements in order to fulfill the treatment contract between you and your doctor and the associated obligations. For this purpose, we process your personal data, in particular your health data. This includes medical histories, diagnoses, therapy recommendations, and findings collected by us or other doctors. For these purposes, other doctors or psychotherapists who are treating you may also provide us with data (e.g., in doctor’s letters). The collection of health data is a prerequisite for your treatment. If the necessary information is not provided, careful treatment cannot be carried out.
3. Recipients of the data
We will only transfer your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by law or if you have given your consent. Recipients of your personal data may include other doctors/psychotherapists, associations of statutory health insurance physicians, health insurance companies, the medical service of the health insurance companies, medical associations, and private medical clearing houses. The transfer is primarily for the purpose of billing for services rendered to you and clarifying medical questions and questions arising from your insurance relationship. In individual cases, data may be transferred to other authorized recipients.
4. Storage of your data
We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to carry out the treatment. Due to legal requirements, we are obliged to store this data for at least 10 years after completion of the treatment. Other regulations may result in longer storage periods, for example 30 years for X-ray records in accordance with Section 28 (3) of the X-ray Ordinance.
5. Your rights
You have the right to obtain information about your personal data. You can also request the correction of inaccurate data. In addition, under certain conditions, you have the right to have data deleted, the right to restrict data processing, and the right to data portability. Your data is processed on the basis of legal regulations. We only require your consent in exceptional cases. In these cases, you have the right to revoke your consent for future processing. You also have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority for data protection if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful.
6. Legal basis
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 9(2)(h) GDPR in conjunction with Section 22(1)(1)(b) of the Federal Data Protection Act. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
