Privacy Statement
HEART COHERENCE

Karin Niemann, the healthcare provider at Praktijk Heart Coherence, is responsible for the processing of personal data as set out in this privacy statement. Personal data is processed with care and in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) effective May 25, 2018.

For proper treatment, it is necessary for me, as your treating therapist, to create a file. This is also a legal obligation imposed by the Medical Treatment Contracts Act (WGBO/Wkkgz). Your file contains notes about your health status and information about the examinations and treatments performed.

The file also contains information necessary for your treatment that I have requested, with your explicit consent, from another healthcare provider, such as your general practitioner.

I do my best to protect your privacy. This means, among other things, that I:

• Handle your personal and medical information with care.

• Ensure that unauthorized persons do not have access to your information.

As your treating therapist, I am the only one who has access to the information in your file. I am legally bound by confidentiality (medical confidentiality).

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

• To inform other healthcare providers, for example, when therapy has been completed or when referring to another practitioner. This will only happen with your explicit (written) consent;
• For anonymized use during peer review;
• Partial use for financial administration so that I or my administrator can prepare an invoice.

If I wish to use your data for any other reason, I will first inform you and explicitly request your consent.

You have the right to access your client file at any time.

You have the right to have your data deleted at any time.

The data in your client file will be retained for 20 years, as required by law (WGBO).

PRIVACY ON YOUR HEALTH BILL

The health insurance bill you receive contains the information requested by your health insurer so you can submit your claim to them.

• Your name, address, and city.
• Your client number and/or date of birth.
• The date of the treatment.
• A brief description of the treatment.
• Service code.
• The cost of the consultation.

COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

In my practice, I collaborate with the following organizations regarding the processing of your data, and I have entered into a data processing agreement with them:
