Data from persons under the age of 21

Our website and / or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 21. Unless they have permission from their parents or guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is older than 21. We therefore advise parents to be involved in the online activities of their children, in order to prevent data about children from being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal information about a minor without this permission, please contact us and we will delete this information.

For what purpose and on what basis we process personal data

For a proper treatment it is necessary that your treating therapist keeps a file at the Three Treasures acupuncture practice. This is a legal obligation imposed by the Medical Treatment Agreement Act (WGBO). Your file contains notes about your state of health and information about the examinations and treatments performed. The file also includes information that is necessary for your treatment and that we have requested, if necessary and after your explicit consent, from another care provider, for example from the general practitioner.

The purpose of processing personal data:

Drawing up a medical file on which the treatments are based.

Drawing up the invoice for your health insurance. The invoice you receive contains the information that is requested by the health insurer, so that you can declare this to your health insurer. Your name, address and place of residence, your date of birth, the date of the treatment (s), the performance code and the description "acupuncture treatment".

Maintaining contact with you regarding treatment and / or billing.

The purpose of processing medical data:

• To be able to carry out a suitable treatment for you.

Use of personal and file data

The data from your file can also be used for the following purposes:

Informing other healthcare providers (only with your explicit consent), e.g. when the therapy has been completed or in case of a referral;

For use by a locum in the absence of your therapist;

For anonymous use during peer review;

For the financial administration: the invoice contains your name and address details and date of birth so that you can submit the invoice to the health insurer;

Your e-mail address can be used to send invoices, to make appointments and to ask questions in the context of your treatment.

If we want to use your data for another reason, we will first inform you and explicitly ask for your permission.

Access to your file

Your treating therapist is the only one who has access to the data in your file. Your treating therapist has a legal duty of confidentiality (professional secrecy).

The right of inspection is regulated in Article 35 (paragraph 1, paragraph 2, paragraph 3, paragraph 4) of the Personal Data Protection Act.

You have the right to request correction and deletion of your personal data. The right of correction is regulated in Article 36 (paragraph 1, paragraph 2, paragraph 3, paragraph 4) of the Personal Data Protection Act.

Access to file of a minor

According to the patient rights from the WGBO, the competent minor between 12-16 years old and the parent (s) have custody. Parent (s) of minors up to the age of 16 have co-decision about the treatment. Parents have the right to information and access to the file, when this is linked to the right of codecision for the treatment. There is an exception to this right of access, namely when the professional is of the opinion that the exercise of certain patient rights is contrary to the interests of the patient / client.Competent patients / clients aged 12 and older are themselves authorized to give permission for a breach of confidentiality.
