Privacy declaration

We also consider your privacy important. Airportho Utrecht strives to guarantee your privacy as well as possible and will treat the information you provide us confidentially. When processing personal data, we observe the applicable laws and regulations in the field of privacy. In this privacy statement we inform you about the way in which we handle your data.

Categories of personal data

By using the website and the services available on it, you leave certain information with us. This also happens at our practice in the context of the implementation of the treatment. This can be personal data. We only store and use the personal data that are provided directly by you or of which it is clear that they are provided to us for processing.

Depending on the service you use, we may collect the following data:

  • Name and address details
  • Sex
  • Phone number
  • Date of birth
  • Payment details
  • Citizen service number for personal use
  • E-mail address
  • Insurance information
  • Medical history (anamnesis), diagnosis
  • Information from other healthcare providers
  • (X-ray) photos, dental models

Because we believe privacy is important, we have appointed a DPO (privacy officer), while it is as yet unclear whether a relatively small orthodontist practice like ours is obliged to do so.

  • we do not register large-scale personal data, but most of the information that we register, such as diagnosis, photos containing personal data, etc. do fall into the special category. In line with our professional confidentiality, this information is only shared with other healthcare providers if they are actively involved in the treatment. • we register patient data.
  • we share date of birth and name with our laboratories in the context of good care provision (experience shows that passing on less data can lead to confusion / mix-ups).
  • we register appointments; an external server sends appointment reminders and confirmations of appointments made by e-mail.
  • We make an automatic daily backup of all our data and this backup is externally located and well secured. • we send our medical data to other care providers by email, only if they act as referrer or co-practitioner. 
  • we only use photos of patients in presentations or on websites after explicitly requested to do so. Conversely, we also request that you only first ask for explicit permission if you take photos in the practice. • we register BSN to check insurance data, we do not share this with any external party.
  • we register contact details / address and communicate this with other care providers if necessary for proper care provision.
  • we send our invoices via Famed by e-mail and therefore share, unless objection, telephone number and e-mail address with Famed so that you can pay any unreimbursed part of the treatment via iDEAL

Basis for data processing

We may only lawfully process your personal data if we do so on a legal basis. We process your personal data because this is necessary for the performance of the agreement between you and us, as laid down in Article 6 paragraph 1 sub b of the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). In addition, we may process your personal data for another legitimate interest, such as informing our patients about current events or changes to our services. This basis is laid down in Article 6 paragraph 1 sub f of the GDPR.
