Information on data protection in the implementation of the Infection Protection Act

The processing permission is based on Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. We process your address and contact details, your personal identification details and your health data, insofar as these are relevant under the IfSG. Your data will be passed on to the responsible state authority and, if applicable, the Robert Koch Institute, provided that corresponding reporting obligations are standardized in the law. We have received notification that you are affected by a notifiable disease or may have been infected from your attending physician or the examining laboratory, or you have been named to us as a contact person by an affected patient. In the latter case, we are not allowed to tell you who named you as a contact person - this would be a breach of medical confidentiality, to which we are also bound.

Your data will be stored by us or the receiving agencies for as long as is necessary due to the treatment and/or statutory storage periods.

You have the right to request information from us about exactly which of your data we process. If we process incorrect information, you not only have the right to demand that we correct it - we expressly request that you inform us of such errors. The exercise of further rights to which you are entitled under the GDPR (right to erasure or to restriction of processing as well as the right to object to data processing and to data portability) is subject to legal requirements. If you have any questions, our data protection officer will be happy to advise you.
