I, Midwife Rachelle Super, am responsible for processing your personal data.
You can contact me for any privacy-related questions as follows:

Email: BerlinMidwife.Rachelle@outlook.com

What data do I process, and where do the data come from?

When you engage me for care during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period, I enter into a contract with you. For this, I collect the following information:

  • Title, first name, last name
  • A valid email address
  • Phone number (landline and/or mobile)
  • Health insurance card
  • Information necessary for asserting and defending your rights within the scope of the mandate

For what purposes and on what legal basis is the data processed?

The collection of this data is necessary to provide appropriate care as a midwife. I process your personal data, especially your health data. This includes medical histories, diagnoses, treatment proposals, and findings that I collect. The collection of health data is a prerequisite for your treatment. If the necessary information is not provided, thorough treatment cannot take place. For this purpose, other cooperation partners, such as midwives, doctors, or clinics where you are being treated, may also provide data (e.g., in doctor’s letters).

Additionally:

  • To identify you as my patient
  • For communication with you
  • For invoicing with health insurance companies, other billing parties, or directly with you if you are privately insured/self-paying

The data processing is carried out at your request and, in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1, letter b of the GDPR, for the purpose of fulfilling the treatment contract and the mutual fulfillment of obligations arising from the treatment contract.

Who do I share data with?

Your personal data will not be shared with third parties for purposes other than those listed below. If required by Article 6 (1) sentence 1, letter b of the GDPR within the scope of the treatment contract with you, your personal data will be passed on to third parties. This includes, in particular, sharing with the referring doctor, health insurance company, external billing service provider, or the midwife who represents me with your consent in case of my absence. These data will also be processed for the following purposes: maintaining contact details, billing services with health insurance companies, and documenting the care or service delivery.

The shared data may only be used by the third party for the specified purposes. My professional confidentiality towards you remains unaffected. If the data is subject to professional confidentiality, data will only be shared with third parties after consulting with you.

How long is your data stored?

The personal data collected by me for the treatment contract will be stored for the duration of the statutory retention period for midwives according to the Midwives Act in its current version (10 years after the end of the calendar year in which the treatment ended), and will then be deleted unless I am required to store it for a longer period based on tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (e.g., HGB, StGB, or AO), or if you have consented to further storage as per Article 6 (1) letter a of the GDPR.

What rights do you have?

You have the right to:

  • According to Article 7 (3) of the GDPR, withdraw your consent at any time, which will stop me from processing data based on that consent going forward.
  • According to Article 15 of the GDPR, request information about your personal data processed by me. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data, the recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the right to correction, deletion, restriction of processing, or objection, the existence of a right to file a complaint, the source of your data, if it was not collected from you, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and if applicable, meaningful information about its details.
  • According to Article 16 of the GDPR, request the immediate correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data stored by me.
  • According to Article 17 of the GDPR, request the deletion of your personal data stored by me, unless processing is required for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for fulfilling a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims.
  • According to Article 18 of the GDPR, request the restriction of processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its deletion, and I no longer need the data, but you need it for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, or if you have objected to processing under Article 21 of the GDPR.
  • According to Article 20 of the GDPR, request your personal data that you provided to me in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or request its transfer to another controller, and according to Article 77 of the GDPR, file a complaint with a supervisory authority. You can usually contact the supervisory authority in your usual place of residence for this.
  • If your personal data is processed based on legitimate interests according to Article 6 (1) sentence 1, letter f of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data under Article 21 of the GDPR, if there are grounds related to your particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right to object, it is sufficient to send me an email.

Notes on Electronic Communication

Communication within the framework of care due to the treatment contract can, with your consent, take place by phone, SMS, or email, with me choosing an appropriate form of communication each time.

You explicitly consent to me communicating with you and with third parties unencrypted in this way and relieve me from my professional confidentiality to the extent that it involves communicating content subject to confidentiality in this manner.

By using one of the described forms of communication, either during the initial contact with me or for the first time during the ongoing treatment contract, you agree, subject to revocation at any time, that I may use this form of communication in relation to you or third parties, considering and being aware of the above statements.
