Medically relevant information from a complaint is only included in the patient’s medical record if this is necessary for the provision of care or record-keeping. In principle, the complaints file itself is kept separately from the medical record.
Rondom app
When you sign up for or cancel a Rondom app or a similar online service via our website, we use your data to process your registration or cancellation and, where applicable, to manage your account.
Webinars, activities and meetings
When you register for a webinar, meeting or other activity, we use your details to:
Registering for an activity does not automatically mean that you are also signing up for future newsletters or commercial communications.
Newsletters and marketing
When you voluntarily subscribe to a newsletter or other marketing communications, we use your contact details to send you this information.
If we use your consent for this purpose, you may withdraw this consent at any time.
We do not use data from patient records or medical information for general commercial marketing purposes.
Apply for a job
When you apply via our website, we use your details to:
If, following the recruitment process, we wish to retain your application details for a longer period in order to potentially contact you regarding a future vacancy, we will seek your separate consent for this.
Website and search feedback
When we ask you whether the information on our website was helpful, or when you provide feedback on search results via a simple function, we use this information to improve our website and the information we provide.
We aim to process as little personal data as possible for this purpose. Where possible, we use only aggregated or anonymised information.
Where the law stipulates that a note must be made in the medical record regarding a service provided for research purposes, we do so.
Data protection in research
We do not process more personal data for research purposes than is necessary.
Where possible:
Pseudonymised data Personal data is retained for as long as it is still possible to trace it back using additional information.
Data is only considered anonymous when it can no longer, within reason, be traced back to an individual. The GDPR no longer applies to data that has been effectively and irreversibly anonymised.
When research results are published, we ensure that individual patients cannot be identified in them.
Objection to reuse for scientific research
Do you not wish your medical data already collected and, where applicable, medical imaging to be reused or disclosed for medical-scientific research without your separate consent, where the law grants you a right to object?
In that case, you may object to this.
You can submit your objection via: wetenschap@rondomlopengroep.nl
For Rondom Podotherapeuten, you can also use the objection form available on our website for this purpose.
Your objection will be recorded so that it can be taken into account in future investigations. Where appropriate, this objection will be noted in your medical records.
Objecting to clinical research will not affect your treatment or your relationship with your healthcare provider.
Previously given consent for a specific study
If you have previously given separate consent to take part in a specific study, that consent is not automatically withdrawn simply because you later raise a general objection to the reuse of your data.
You can, however, withdraw your consent for a specific study.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place before you withdrew your consent.
If research data has already been effectively and irreversibly anonymised at the time of your request, we can no longer link it to you and are therefore unable to remove it from the research data as your individual data.
Job application
Up to 4 weeks after the end of the recruitment process. With your separate consent, we may retain your data for up to 1 year for potential future vacancies.
Website feedback
A maximum of 3 months. After that, data will be deleted or effectively anonymised or aggregated.
Search feedback
In principle, 30 to 90 days and up to 3 months, unless the information is anonymised or deleted earlier.
Cookie preferences via CookieYes
Proof of your cookie preferences may be retained for up to 5 years.
Core financial administration
In principle, 7 years where the statutory tax retention obligation applies.
Personal data for scientific research
Provided this is necessary and lawful for the research in question. The specific retention period is determined on a case-by-case basis for each research project, taking into account the research objective, research protocol, applicable legislation and required safeguards. Data that has been effectively and irreversibly anonymised is no longer personal data.
Where the same information is used for different purposes, different retention periods may apply.
For example, when relevant information is entered into the EPD via a website form, the separate copy in the CMS does not need to be retained for the same period as the medical record.
Deletion and backups
When a form submission needs to be removed from the CMS, the recycle bin is also emptied so that the information is actually deleted from the active database.
Due to our technical backup procedures, deleted data may still be temporarily present in a backup.
Personal data removed from our website environment will also have been removed from the regular backup chain no later than 7 days after its final removal from the live environment.
Where personal data has also been transferred to another system, such as the EPD, Mailchimp, a complaints file or the financial records, the retention period applicable to that system is the one associated with the relevant purpose.
