Source of the Data – Where Is the Data Obtained From?

As a rule, your personal data is provided directly by you at the time of registration: in person, via the e-registration system, or via the helpline.

In the case of continued treatment initiated elsewhere, the data may also be received from other medical facilities.

In specific situations justified by your state of health, your personal data may be obtained from persons close to you.

Scope of Personal Data Processing

For the purpose of scheduling appointments, your personal data is processed, including your first name, surname, sex, PESEL number or date of birth (if no PESEL number has been assigned), telephone number, and email address. The above data is also used to verify your identity before the provision of a service.

As a medical entity, the data controller is obliged to maintain and store medical records, the content and scope of which are specified by applicable law. The data contained in the records includes, among other things, a description of the course of treatment and diagnostic procedures.

If you have consented to marketing communication, your email address or telephone number, as well as your first name and surname, will also be used.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Basis for Processing

The processing of your personal data is necessary for the purposes of providing healthcare services (diagnostics, prevention, therapy) and managing healthcare services (e.g. settlements with the payer, maintaining and storing medical records, verifying identity before an appointment).

 

Legal basis:

Article 9(2)(h) GDPR in conjunction with the provisions governing the provision of healthcare services, in particular the provisions of the Act of 15 April 2011 on Medical Activity, the Act of 6 November 2008 on Patient Rights and the Patient Rights Ombudsman, the Act of 27 August 2004 on Healthcare Services Financed from Public Funds, and the Act on the Professions of Doctor and Dentist.

Data Retention Period

Your data will be stored for the period specified by law, and in particular for the period resulting from Article 29 of the Act of 6 November 2008 on Patient Rights and the Patient Rights Ombudsman. Medical records are, as a rule, stored for at least 20 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last entry was made. After the statutory retention period for medical records expires, they will be destroyed in a manner preventing identification of the patient concerned, or released to you or to a person authorised by you.

Data used for the settlement of healthcare services, as well as data used for the pursuit of claims, will be processed for the limitation period of such claims in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code.

Data processed for accounting and tax settlement purposes is processed for 5 years from the end of the calendar year in which the tax obligation arose.

If you have consented to communication for marketing purposes, the data will be processed until you withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data for those purposes.
