4. Personal data that you provide voluntarily for communication purposes

In order for you to receive individually tailored services, you will be asked to provide personal data. For this purpose, our website provides a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. We also offer the option of making an online appointment. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The following data is collected as part of this process:

Contact form:

  •  – Salutation
  • –  first name
  • – Surname
  • – Postcode / City

In addition, the following data will be stored at the time the message is sent:

  •  – IP address of the user,
  • – Date and time,
  • – language code

If you do not wish to provide this information, please understand that you do not have access to the requested functions or information.

Alternatively, you can contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

If you contact us electronically, for example by e-mail, we may inform you of the following: Data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) cannot guarantee complete data security due to security gaps. Therefore a complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that unencrypted e-mails may be read by unauthorised persons during transmission. If you wish to send us personal or sensitive data (e.g. health data), we advise against sending unencrypted e-mails. In the case of confidential information, we therefore recommend that you contact us by post or telephone.

By voluntarily entering this data in the contact form, you as a user declare your consent to the collection and storage of the data entered in each case. Data processing is thus carried out for the purpose of establishing contact in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO on the basis of your voluntary consent.

We also offer you the option of making an online appointment. For this we need the following data:

  • First name and surname,
  • Date of birth,
  • Phone number,
  • E-mail address,
  • Address,
  • Health data and, if applicable, referring doctor.

The data collected will be processed exclusively for the following purposes: Provision of an online appointment agreement, administration of an online appointment calendar, administration of appointments, online tool for appointment calendar administration, information of patients about doctors, e-mail and SMS notifications (so-called recall system).

Data processing for the aforementioned purposes is carried out within the framework of order processing by the service provider Doctolib GmbH, Wilhelmstraße 118, 10963 Berlin – Datenschutzerklärung https://www.doctolib.de/terms/agreement.

Our service provider is also requested by us to comply with the statutory data protection regulations. Encrypted data transmission to the service provider takes place. The online appointment pages are also protected by SSL encryption.

Since the data collected during the use of online appointment allocation is provided voluntarily by you, you as a user declare your consent to the processing of the data entered in each case by Doctolib GmbH and we obtain your consent to this. Data processing by Doctolib GmbH is thus carried out for the aforementioned purposes in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO on the basis of your voluntary consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted by e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. If the purpose of the contact request, e-mail or online appointment is to conclude a contract, there is a further legal basis for processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.

We process personal data only for the purposes of conversation and contact processing. The necessary justified interest in the processing of the data in the case of an establishment of contact via the contact form or by e-mail as well as via the online appointment allocation lies in it.

The processing of other personal data during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and online appointment allocation as well as to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

 

5. Purposes for which your personal data will be processed:

Within the framework of your treatment, data concerning your person, your social status and the medical data necessary for the treatment will be collected, recorded, stored, processed, queried, used, transmitted, etc. In general, this is referred to as the “processing” of your data. This term “processing” is the generic term for all these activities. For data protection reasons, the processing of patient data in our practice is only possible if this is prescribed or permitted by law or if you as a patient have given your consent.

For your patient-related care / treatment, processing of your data is particularly necessary for preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, curative and aftercare reasons. Processing also takes place – in the sense of the best possible care – with regard to interdisciplinary conferences for the analysis and discussion of diagnostics and therapy, for pre-, co- and further care with regard to diagnostics, therapy, findings as well as disease / vital status. In addition, doctor’s letters / reports are written and processed for quality assurance reasons, to identify and combat hospital infections and for discharge management.

In addition to this patient-related processing, your treatment also needs to be administered. This essentially requires the processing of your data for the billing of your treatment, for reasons of controlling/inspection, for the assertion, exercise and defence of legal claims, etc. Furthermore, data processing is carried out for the purpose of further training and education of physicians and members of other professions in the health care system, for research purposes or for statutory reporting obligations (e.g. to the police on the basis of reporting law, to state health authorities on the basis of the Infection Protection Act, to cancer registers) and not least for reasons of the support and maintenance of IT systems and applications, etc.

 7. Jameda widget

Our website includes a widget from jameda GmbH, St. Cajetan-Straße 41, 81669 Munich, Germany. A widget is a small window that displays variable information. Although the corresponding content is displayed on our website, it is retrieved from the jameda servers at this moment. This is the only way to always show the current content, especially the current rating.

8. Online presence in social media (Facebook/Instagram)

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the patients, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union.

With regard to US providers that are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that by doing so they commit themselves to comply with EU data protection standards.

In addition, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of user behavior and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user’s computer in which the user’s usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

The processing of the personal data of the users takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in effective information of the users and communication with the users in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f. DSGVO. If the users are requested by the respective providers of the platforms to consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO.

For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the opt-out options, we refer to the following linked information of the providers.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Should you nevertheless require any help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

11. subscription to our newsletter

On the website of Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data will be transmitted to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.

Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery informs her customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers of the company. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the person concerned if (1) the person concerned has a valid email address and (2) the person concerned registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered for the first time by a person concerned for the purpose of receiving the newsletter using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation mail is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address has authorized the receipt of the newsletter as a data subject.

When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the data controller.

The personal data collected in the course of registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as might be the case if there are changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the person concerned has given us for the newsletter service, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, a corresponding link is included in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller in another way.

 

12. newsletter tracking

The newsletters of Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery contain so-called counting pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. On the basis of the embedded counting pixel, Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by a person concerned and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the person concerned.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the data controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the person concerned. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled to revoke the separate declaration of consent submitted in this regard via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the data controller. A cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery as a revocation.
