Privacy statement
Introduction
Your privacy is important to us. In this privacy statement we therefore inform you how we use your personal data and what your rights and our obligations are in that regard.
In particular, the following rules form the applicable framework: The General Data Protection Regulation (AVG), the Medical Treatment Agreement Act (WGBO) and the Act on Quality, Complaints and Disputes Care (WKKGZ), as well as the rules laid down by the professional and dispute resolution organizations to which I am affiliated, namely the Collective Alternative Therapists (see: https://catcollectief.nl/) and the Dispute Resolution Authority Alternative Therapists (see: https://www.gatgeschillen.nl/ ).
Privacy in a Pranic Healing treatment
For proper treatment, it is necessary and mandatory that we – as your treating therapist – maintain a client file. Your file contains notes on your health condition and data on the examinations and treatments performed. Also included in the file are data that are necessary for your treatment and which, only with your explicit consent, have been requested from another health care provider such as the family doctor.
We do our best to ensure your privacy. This means, among other things, that we:
a. Careful handling of your personal and medical information; and
b. Ensuring that unauthorized persons cannot access your data by securing it properly.
We – as your treating therapist – have sole access to the information in your file. We have a duty of confidentiality, in accordance with the requirements of applicable law and of the applicable professional and litigation organizations mentioned earlier.
A small portion of the information from your file is used for financial records so that we or our administrator, can prepare an invoice.
The data from your file may also be used for the following purposes:
a. To inform other health care providers, such as when therapy is completed or when a referral is made to another practitioner. This is done only with your explicit consent;
b. For use for observation, during the absence of the treating therapist; or
c. For peer consultation on a completely anonymous and non-reducible basis.
If we want to use your data for any other reason, we will first inform you and ask for your explicit consent. As required by the WGBO, the data in the client file will be kept for 20 years. If you wish, you have the right to add a self-declaration (of a medical nature) to your file. You also have the right to request (partial) destruction of your medical records. This can be met only the data should not or may not be retained by law.
Privacy as a student or visitor to our website and web shop:
We maintain student records and, as part of this, keep records of students who take or have taken courses with us. We handle your information with care and only pass it on to agencies as necessary for the issuance and registration of your certificate. And we use your information to send you an invoice.
With regard to our website and webshop, in order to provide visitors with relevant information, like many other organizations, we use cookies. We refer you to our cookie statement for further information (https://pranicvivek.nl/cookie-verklaring/). In the webshop we use your data to send you products and an invoice and if you voluntarily choose to receive the newsletter we also use the data to provide you with relevant information through the newsletter.
For the newsletter, we use external suppliers such as Mailchimp, with whom we have made arrangements to ensure that they too handle your data with care. Participation in the newsletter is through an opt-in arrangement. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. The information in the newsletter may be tailored to, for example, which course(s) you have already taken. This is to avoid giving you unnecessary information about course(s) you have already taken, for example.
In conclusion
We ensure that you can exercise the following rights if you wish:
a. The right to inspect and copy your data;
b. The right to correct, supplement or delete your data if necessary;
c. The right to digitally withdraw your consent or part of your consent to the processing of (personal) data; this can be done by sending an email to [email protected]; and
d. The right to object or file a complaint with Geschilleninstantie Alternatieve Therapeuten (see: https://www.gatgeschillen.nl/) or with the Personal Data Authority (https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/).
