We process general and special personal data that we receive in the context of our business operations. The general personal data mainly but not exclusively currently and/or in the future concern: your first and last name, address, city, telephone number, e-mail address, payment details, position, IP address, social ID, cookie ID, contact history and surfing behaviour. The special personal data concerns medical data (such as examination results and medical appointments) and possibly identification data, financial data and insurance data.

Image materials.

We may be able to place photos and/or video material on our website that suits our business operations. This privacy statement also applies to these images.

Collection Moments.

We collect personal data from you mainly at the following times:

In direct encounters with you and when providing services to you;

By providing us with information in any way and/or form;

In case of referrals from the GP or information via a relevant healthcare provider;

Via invitations by third parties with whom we work together now and in the future;

In case of a direct or forwarded visit to or messages from our website.

Collection targets.

We collect your relevant personal data exclusively for the benefit of our services, due to the legal rules that regulate the correctness of documentation and of the financial and administrative requirements, when making contacts and when informing you about our (possibly new) activities.

Peer review.

It is possible that a medical specialist outside our organization must be contacted for a consultation about your medical situation. Your medical situation can also be discussed in consultation with various specialisms, an “MDO”. Your data will only be shared if this is necessary for our services.

Quality control.

We are sometimes obliged to record data for accountability to, for example, the “Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd” (IGJ). Furthermore, your data will be used to improve our own care (processes) or to send questionnaires for quality research. The basic principle is that your data will be processed anonymously.

Legal obligations.

We are sometimes required to collect data that is necessary to perform legal obligations and care-related tasks. This could include keeping the medical file, registering identification numbers, reporting certain infectious diseases and passing on information to the health insurer.

Disclosures to third parties.

Our services make it necessary to share some of your data with organizations or persons who perform work for us or with which we work together, such as for the maintenance and management of our information provision as well as our IT systems and/or consultants engaged.

Which third parties do we work with:

  • Eyetech BV: ophthalmic services;

  • Zorgdomein BV: a digital platform for exchanging data;

  • GPs: diagnoses and referrals;

  • Insurers: compensation;

  • Opticians: eye measurements and optometric examination.

Further sharing of data.

We will not share your personal data with other/third parties other than our business model requires. Of course, we do provide information to authorities if there is a legal obligation to do so. Your data can then (also) be transferred to an authority outside the European Union.

Request information and possible newsletters.

Our website gives you the option to request information and in the future perhaps the option to subscribe to our newsletters and on the other. Only if and after you explicitly give permission for this (via an opt-in) will we send you the relevant information regarding these activities.

Unsubscribe.

If you no longer wish to use our possible digital information sources, you can send us an email and we will take care of your deregistration.

Social media and links.

In the future, we will probably use various social media and our website may contain links to (those) social media. Our privacy statement does not apply to the collection of data by social media itself. Furthermore, this statement does not apply to the links on our website.

Retention periods.

We will not process your data for longer than there is a legal basis for this. We keep data for the benefit of our services for as long as necessary. Financial data must be legally retained for seven years. For medical data, the retention period is 20 years from the last treatment.

Security.

We have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. This protects your personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage to the data.

Processing registers.

We keep records as required by law regarding the processing of your data as well as a log of the activities that take place via our website. We also use the aforementioned log files to maintain the website properly and to prevent or sanction any misuse.
