Processing of Personal Data, Purpose of Use, and Legal Bases
General – Visiting the Website
My website serves to provide information about my practice. When you visit my website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to my website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in the server's log files. The following information is collected:
-
IP address of the requesting computer,

Date and time of access,

Name and URL of the retrieved file,

Previously visited website (referrer URL),

Browser used and, if applicable, your computer's operating system as well as the name of your access provider.
The specified data is collected and processed to ensure a smooth connection setup of the website and to display its content correctly. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required. My legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do I use the collected data to draw conclusions about your person.
Use of the Contact Form / Contact via Email
Please note that data transmission over the Internet can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. If you use my contact form or contact me via email, your data is processed based on your voluntarily given consent. Providing a valid email address is required to respond to your inquiries. This data and your message will only be stored to process and answer your request.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required and no statutory retention obligations exist. Your data will not be passed on to third parties. You can revoke your consent at any time. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out based on the consent up to the time of revocation. You can send your revocation in writing or by email to the contact details listed above.
To protect the transmission of confidential content, SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption is used in conjunction with the highest respective encryption level supported by your browser. You can recognize an encrypted page by the address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" or by the padlock icon in your browser bar. Please do not write any confidential information, especially health data, into the contact form or into an unencrypted email; use it only for initial contact.
Online Appointment Booking
If you use the online appointment booking feature on my website, your data will be processed based on your voluntarily given consent. Providing your name, phone number, and a valid email address is required to schedule an appointment. This data is used exclusively for online appointment booking. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required and no statutory retention periods exist. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.
I use SSL encryption for the online appointment booking web pages. You can revoke your consent at any time. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out based on the consent up to the time of revocation. You can send your revocation in writing or by email to the contact details listed above.
Disclosure of data: The data collected on my website will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
Cookies
I use cookies on my website. Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored in the browser of your device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit my site. This cookie information is sent by your browser to my server every time you visit my website again. However, this does not mean that I immediately gain knowledge of your identity. Cookies serve to make the use of my website more pleasant, effective, and secure for you.
I use temporary cookies (session cookies) that are only stored in your device's browser for the duration of your visit to my website and are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser. I also use persistent cookies. These remain stored in your browser even after your visit to my website. Your browser can be configured so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can allow cookies only in individual cases, accept cookies for certain cases, or generally exclude them. You can delete cookies via your browser settings at any time. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. The data processed by cookies is required for the aforementioned purposes to safeguard my legitimate interests.
Google Analytics
I use a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on my website. I use Google Analytics for the demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of my website. Under no circumstances do I use the collected data to draw conclusions about your person.
Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by these cookies about your use of this website (browser type, operating system used, referrer URL, IP address of the requesting computer, time of server request) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the demand-oriented design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment to an individual person is not possible. You can prevent the storage of cookies by choosing the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the available browser plugin. You can find more information about data protection in connection with Google Analytics in the Google Analytics Help section and in their terms of use.

Notes on Special Functions
Integration of social media plugins, e.g., Facebook
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that the visitor's browser has accessed the corresponding page of the website, even if the visitor does not have a Facebook account or is not currently logged into Facebook. This information (including the IP address) is transmitted directly from the browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If the visitor is logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly assign the website visit to the Facebook account. When interacting with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Like" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to the user's Facebook friends. Facebook can use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research, and the needs-based design of Facebook pages. According to the legal situation up to now, it is recommended to use social media plugins only if it is ensured that the user's data is not sent to a third-party provider immediately and without consent upon accessing the website. Rather, the user must explicitly consent to the data processing before the social media plugins are activated. In this case, this would be the legal basis for processing the data.
Processing special categories of personal data (e.g., health data)
As a rule, special categories of personal data, such as health data, may not be processed. Exceptions apply, for example, in the case of explicit consent for a specific purpose or on the basis of a contract with a healthcare professional.
