Patient information on the handling of personal data:

In the following, we inform you about the purpose for which the above-mentioned medical practice (hereinafter medical practice) collects, stores or forwards your personal data. In addition, we inform you about your rights, which you can exercise within the framework of data protection. 
 

Responsibilities: The responsible party for the processing of your personal data and in particular your health data is the medical practice. If you have any questions about data protection or if you wish to exercise your rights under data protection, please contact the practice staff or your doctor directly.

 

Collection and purpose of data processing: The processing (collection, storage, use and retention) of your data is based on the treatment contract and legal requirements for the fulfillment of the purpose of treatment and the associated obligations. On the one hand, data is collected by the attending physician in the course of your treatment. On the other hand, we also receive data from other physicians and health care professionals with whom you have been or are currently receiving treatment, if you have given your consent for this. In your medical history, only data related to your medical treatment will be processed. The medical history includes the personal information provided on the patient form, such as personal details, contact details and insurance details, as well as, among other things, the educational interview conducted as part of the treatment, collected health data such as medical histories, diagnoses, therapy proposals and findings.

 

Retention period: Your medical record will be retained for 20 years after your last treatment. After that, it will be retained with your express consent or securely deleted or destroyed.
 

Transfer of data: We will only transfer your personal data, and in particular your medical data, to external third parties if this is permitted or required by law, or if you have consented to the transfer of data as part of your treatment. 
 The transfer to your health insurance or to the accident or disability insurance is for the purpose of billing for the services provided to you. The type of data transferred is based on the legal requirements. 
 Data is forwarded to cantonal and national authorities (e.g. cantonal medical service, health departments, etc.) on the basis of statutory reporting requirements.
 Optional: The forwarding of the necessary patient and invoice data to the collection agency takes place for the purpose of collection (collection of due monetary claims).
In individual cases, depending on your treatment and your corresponding consent, data is transferred to other authorized recipients (e.g. laboratories, other physicians).

 

Revocation of your consent: If you have given your express consent for data processing, you may revoke any consent already given, in whole or in part, at any time. The revocation or the request to change consent must be made in writing. As soon as we have received your written revocation and the processing cannot be based on any other legal basis than the consent, the processing will be stopped. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. 
 

Information, inspection and release: You have the right to obtain information about your personal data at any time. You can inspect your medical history or request a copy. You may be charged for providing the copy. You will be informed in advance of any costs, which depend on the time and effort required to make the copy.

 

Right to data transfer: You have the right to have data that we process automatically or digitally handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. This also applies in particular to the transfer of medical data to a health professional of your choice. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
 

Correction of your information: If you discover or believe that your information is incorrect or incomplete, you have the opportunity to request that it be corrected. If neither the correctness nor the incompleteness of your data can be established, you have the option of attaching a denial notice.
