Data processing is carried out based on legal requirements to fulfill the treatment contract between you and your doctor and the associated obligations.
For this purpose, we process your personal data, especially your health data. This includes medical history, diagnoses, treatment proposals, and medical findings collected by us or other doctors. Other doctors or psychotherapists treating you may also provide us with data (e.g. in medical reports) for these purposes.
The collection of health data is a prerequisite for your treatment. If the necessary information is not provided, careful treatment cannot be guaranteed.
We only transmit your personal data to third parties if this is legally permitted or if you have given your consent.
Recipients of your personal data may include other doctors/psychotherapists, statutory associations of physicians, health insurance companies, medical service of health insurance companies, hospitals, medical chambers, and private medical billing centers.
The transmission is primarily for the purpose of billing for the services provided to you, clarifying medical and insurance-related questions arising from your insurance relationship. In individual cases, data may be transmitted to other authorized recipients.
When visiting this website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done using so-called analysis programs.

Conclusion of a contract for order processing
To ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded a contract for order processing with our host.
This website includes tools from companies based in the USA or other countries without sufficient data protection regulations. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that there may not be a level of data protection in these countries comparable to that in the EU. For example, US companies are required to provide personal data to security authorities without the possibility of legal recourse. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this page uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases, or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
