The data processing is carried out in accordance with legal requirements in order to fulfil 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 anamnesis, diagnoses, treatment suggestions and findings that we or other doctors collect. For these purposes, other doctors or psychotherapists with whom you are receiving treatment 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. Recipient of the data
We will only transmit 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 primarily be other doctors/psychotherapists, associations of statutory health insurance physicians, health insurance companies, the medical service of the health insurance company, medical associations and private medical billing offices.
The data is primarily transmitted for the purpose of billing for the services provided to you and to clarify medical questions and questions arising from your insurance relationship. In individual cases, data may be transmitted to other authorized recipients.
4. Storage of 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 retain this data for at least 10 years after completion of treatment. Other regulations may stipulate longer retention 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 receive information about the personal data concerning you. You can also request that incorrect data be corrected.
In addition, under certain conditions you have the right to erasure of data, the right to restriction of 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 responsible supervisory authority for data protection if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful. You can find the contact person of the supervisory authority responsible for us here:
