Privacy Policy

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 Agreement Act in the Netherlands (WGBO). Your file contains notes regarding your health condition and data regarding the examinations and treatments performed.

The file also includes data necessary for your treatment that I have requested from another healthcare provider, such as your general practitioner, after obtaining your explicit consent.

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

handle your personal and medical data with care,
ensure that unauthorized persons do not have access to your data
as your treating therapist, I am the only one with access to the data in your file.

I have a legal duty of confidentiality (professional secrecy).

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 you to another practitioner. This only happens with your explicit consent.
For use by a substitute practitioner during my absence.
For anonymized use during peer review.
A small portion of the data from your file is used 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 ask for your consent.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time.

These data in the client file will be retained for 20 years, as required by the Treatment Agreement Act.
