Privacy policy of our practice

 

General Privacy Statement 2020

The GDPR ( General Data Protection Regulation) is the new law for the protection of privacy and personal data. Under this law, an organization that works with personal data has certain obligations and the person whose data it has has certain rights. In addition to this general law, specific rules apply to privacy in healthcare. These rules are stated, among other things, in the Medical Treatment Contracts Act (WGBO). These privacy regulations are intended to inform you of your rights and our obligations under the GDPR and the WGBO.

Our practice

In our practice, various personal data about you can be processed. This is necessary to be able to treat you (medically) well and necessary for the financial handling of the treatment.

The duties of practice

According to the GDPR, ArenaFysio is responsible for the processing of personal data that takes place in practice. Practice fulfills the resulting obligations as follows. Your data is collected for specific purposes ( copyright ArenaFysio February 2020):

  • For Physiotherapeutic Care
  • For Effective Management and Policy
  • For support scientific research, education and information.
  • In principle, no processing takes place for other purposes.
  • You will be informed that your personal data is being processed. This can be done by your healthcare provider, but also via a folder or via our website.
  • All ArenaFysio employees are committed to keeping your personal data confidential.
  • Your personal data is well protected against unauthorized access.
  • Your personal data will not be kept longer than is necessary for proper care provision

For medical data, this retention period is in principle 15 years (from the last treatment), unless longer storage is necessary, for example for the health of yourself or your children. This is at the discretion of the practitioner.

Your duties as a data subject

  • The right to know whether and which of your personal data is processed.
  • The right to inspect and copy that data (insofar as this does not harm the privacy of another).
  • The right to correction, addition or deletion of data if necessary.
  • The right to request (partial) destruction of your medical data. This can only be met if the retention of the data is not of significant importance to another and the data do not have to be retained on the basis of a statutory regulation.
  • The right to add a personal statement (of a medical nature) to your file.
  • The right to object to the processing of your data in certain cases
  • If you want to exercise your rights, you can make this known orally or by means of an application form. Your interests may also be represented by a representative (such as a written proxy, or your trustee or mentor).

Provision of your personal data to third parties

ArenaFysio employees  have an obligation to treat your personal data confidentially. This means, for example, that the healthcare provider requires your explicit permission to provide your personal data. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. On the basis of a statutory regulation, the care provider’s obligation to remain silent can be broken, but also when there is a fear of a serious danger 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).

Transfer of your file

If you choose a new physiotherapist, it is important that your new physiotherapist is aware of your (medical) history. Your (medical) history is in your patient file. It is common for your old physiotherapist to transfer the file to your new physiotherapist. The old physiotherapist will do this as soon as possible, at least within a month, after you have asked your old physiotherapist to transfer the file to your new physiotherapist.

Your file will then be transferred personally or by registered post by your physiotherapist. You cannot get the original file. However, you are always entitled to inspect your file and a copy of your file. The file can (if possible) also be transferred by e-mail to the new physiotherapist. Both physiotherapists must then ensure that their computer and internet connections are sufficiently secured.
