PRIVACY STATEMENT
GENERAL
The GDPR is the new law for the protection of privacy and personal data. In addition to this general law, specific rules apply to privacy in healthcare, as outlined in the Medical Treatment Agreement Act (WGBO). This privacy statement informs you about your rights and our obligations under the GDPR and WGBO.
PERSONAL DATA WITHIN FAVORITE FUEL PRACTICE
For effective treatment, it is necessary for Favorite Fuel to maintain a record. This is also a legal requirement imposed by the WGBO. The record contains information about your health and details of the conducted examinations and treatments. By scheduling a consultation with Favorite Fuel, it is assumed that you agree to this privacy statement.
Furthermore, personal data is necessary to initiate treatment and for the financial settlement thereof. Processing may also be necessary for legal obligations, such as mandatory reporting of a contagious disease under the Public Health Act. The dossier may also include data necessary for treatment and, with explicit consent, obtained from other healthcare providers, such as the general practitioner.
Favorite Fuel is responsible for the processing of personal data within the practice, as per the GDPR.
