Only data related to your medical treatment is processed in your medical history. The medical history includes the personal information provided on the form, such as personal details, contact details and insurance information, as well as, among other things, the consultation carried out as part of the treatment, health data collected such as medical history, diagnoses, therapy proposals and findings.

Your medical history will be stored 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, if the transfer is necessary for the fulfilment of the treatment contract, or if you have consented to the transfer of the data in the context of your treatment.
