• Your personal data is well protected against unauthorized access.
• Your personal data will not be kept longer than is necessary for good care provision. For medical data, this retention period is in principle 20 years (from the last treatment), unless longer retention is necessary, for example for the health of yourself or your children. This is at the discretion of the practitioner. Your rights as a data subject You have the following rights:
• The right to know whether and which of your personal data are being processed.
• The right to inspect and copy that data (insofar as this does not harm the privacy of another person).
• The right to correction, addition or deletion of data if necessary.

Provision of your personal data to third parties

Physiotherapy Radier has the obligation to treat your personal data confidentially. This means, for example, that the healthcare provider requires your explicit consent to provide your personal data. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. On the basis of a statutory provision, the care provider’s obligation to remain silent can be interrupted, but also when there is a serious threat to your health or that of a third party. In addition, recorded data can, if necessary, be exchanged orally, in writing or digitally with other care providers (for example, the general practitioner).
