Additionally, information regarding the payment made, in the case of electronic payment the Purchaser’s account number and payment method, and data regarding the Service, including: the type of Service, and the date and place of its performance, will also be processed within the scope of the Reservation made. The Purchaser and/or the Entitled Person may additionally provide an e-mail address and/or telephone number to enable efficient customer contact.

Subsequently, data may be processed for the purpose of pursuing claims (e.g. in debt collection proceedings) or defending against them, for the period resulting from the provisions of the Civil Code (data are processed within the framework of the legitimate interest of the controller, which is the defence against or pursuit of claims arising from business activities). All data processed for accounting and tax purposes are processed for 5 years from the end of the calendar year in which the tax obligation arose. Medical documentation may be created as part of the provision of healthcare services to the Entitled Person.

    4. persons authorised within the scope of the exercise of Patient’s rights.
  6.
