When you use this website, various personal data may be collected. Personal data refers to data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected, for what purpose, and how this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

4. Processing of Personal Data in the Context of Therapeutic Services

In the course of my professional activity, personal data is processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of pre-contractual measures and the provision of therapeutic services.

This may include in particular:

  • Name and contact details

Special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 GDPR, in particular health data, are processed exclusively:

  • with your explicit consent, or

  • on the basis of Article 9(2)(h) GDPR.

All data is subject to professional confidentiality obligations.

5. Data Retention Period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain stored until the purpose for data processing no longer applies.
If you request deletion or withdraw consent, your data will be deleted unless there are legally permissible reasons for further storage (e.g. statutory retention obligations). In such cases, deletion will take place once these obligations cease to apply.

6. Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have given consent, your personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR in the case of special categories of data.
Consent for data transfers to third countries is based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

If you consent to the storage of cookies or similar technologies, processing is additionally based on § 25(1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

If data is required to fulfil a contract or carry out pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Processing to fulfil legal obligations is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed unless compelling legitimate grounds can be demonstrated that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time. After objection, your data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.
