GDPR

In connection with providing healthcare, we are obligated to collect personal data about you – the patient, to the extent necessary for providing and reporting healthcare, where the scope of collected personal data follows from applicable legal regulations. If we maintain your personal data beyond the obligations imposed by legal regulations, we will always request your written consent in advance.

We collect and use your personal data exclusively in connection with providing healthcare to you. We are also obligated to disclose your personal data when reporting covered healthcare and fulfilling other legal obligations, such as tax and accounting obligations and within reporting to disease registers established by law. We disclose your personal data to authorized entities and institutions only in cases where this obligation is imposed on us by legal regulation.

Persons who have the opportunity to become familiar with your personal data are also legally bound to protect personal data and maintain confidentiality. Data maintained about you in medical documentation contains especially facts necessary for identifying your person, data about examinations performed, possibly about diagnosed conditions, treatment, prescribed medications, possibly medical devices, results of comprehensive and follow-up examinations, possibly your informed consent or disagreement with individual procedures and treatment.

We collect your personal data for the period established by legal regulations. Reference can be made especially to Decree No. 98/2012 Coll., on medical documentation, which establishes the period for which it is necessary to maintain patient medical documentation. Reference can also be made to legal regulations regarding accounting and tax obligations, which also define the archival period for which documents proving healthcare provision must be archived. In cases of fulfilling contractual obligations, for example in cases of providing healthcare that is not covered by public health insurance, maintaining your contacts in the appointment system, etc., we collect this personal data for a period of one year from the time when healthcare ceased to be provided to you by our healthcare facility or until your consent is revoked.

Your rights when providing healthcare services in connection with personal data collection

As a patient, you have the right to access your personal data. If you find that personal data is not maintained correctly or is inaccurate, you have the right to request correction of your personal data. You also have the right to erasure of your personal data within the scope of voluntarily provided personal data, i.e., within the framework of fulfilling contractual obligations. Conversely, you cannot demand erasure of personal data that the healthcare provider is obligated to collect based on legal obligation (obligation imposed by legal regulation), i.e., in connection with providing healthcare services that are provided to you. As a patient, you can file a complaint with the supervisory authority if you believe that processing of your personal data violates legal regulations on personal data protection. You can file a complaint with the supervisory authority, which for the territory of the Czech Republic is the Office for Personal Data Protection, located at Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7 (www.uoou.cz).
