Registration/Enquiry

Consent to Data Processing (GDPR)

I hereby consent to the processing of the data I have provided in compliance with the GDPR for the purpose of providing midwifery services. If no services have yet been provided, this consent may be withdrawn at any time. If services have already been provided, the data will be used solely to document and verify the proper handling of the services rendered to date (e.g. documentation of midwifery services, billing of midwifery services). Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to withdrawal.

Your data will be irrevocably deleted after the expiry of the statutory retention periods for documentation and billing (30 years for home births, and 10 years in all other cases). Your data will not be passed on without your consent, except where required by law, such as for billing purposes.

I process data in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

You generally have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, withdrawal of consent, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.

   The midwife will inform clients in advance about the costs incurred.

1. Agreed appointments are binding.
2. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the appointment.
