Personal data includes all data by which an individual can be identified or rendered identifiable, such as their name, address, email address, as well as user behavior or IP address. Below, we inform you about the collection and storage of such data when using our website. The responsible entity for this data is Dr. med. Gerrit Fischer, Steinbecher 35, 56814 Bremm, Germany (see Imprint).

When you contact us by visiting our website or via email, the data you provide will be stored by us to answer your inquiry. We delete the data arising in this context once storage is no longer required, or at the latest after statutory retention obligations have expired.

We strongly urge you not to send us any medical data via email. Data protection cannot be guaranteed when transmitting information by standard email; therefore, we kindly ask you to present medical inquiries in person at our practice.

Regarding the personal data concerning you, you have the right to information, the right to a report on your data or its erasure, the right to restriction of processing, the right to object to processing, and the right to data portability. We point out that these rights may be restricted by law, for example, insofar as statutory retention obligations exist on our part.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Rhineland-Palatinate as the competent supervisory authority, should the processing of your personal data by us not occur properly. You can reach them as follows:

When accessing our website and using the offer for informational purposes, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security: IP address, date and time of the request, content of the request (specific page), volume of data transferred in each case, website from which the request originates, your browser including language and version of the browser software, your operating system and its interface, access status / HTTP status code.

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to the browser you use and stored on your hard drive. These cookies are used so that the above-mentioned information flows to us in order to make your access convenient and data-efficient in the event of a repeat visit to our website. Cookies are pure text files without executable programs and serve overall to make the internet more user-friendly and effective.

Our website uses both persistent cookies and so-called session cookies. The latter are deleted automatically as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a specified duration, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

Tracking and analysis tools are not used on our website.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if you have expressly given your consent, if disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR is required to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data. If reasons against this processing arise from your particular situation, you have the right to object. Please contact us regarding this if you have any questions.
In the event that disclosure must be fulfilled due to a legal obligation on our part, or insofar as disclosure is necessary for the execution of the contractual relationship with you, this is additionally permitted under Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR.

We use the SSL procedure during your website visit to encrypt transferred data, i.e., user data transmitted from your browser to us. You can tell whether an individual page is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or lock icon in the status bar of your browser. Furthermore, we employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access by third parties.

We use Google Maps on our website to make it easier for you to find directions to our practice. To enable you to load the map, Google collects and processes your user data, in particular your IP address and browser data. We have no influence over this processing. However, Google has committed to complying with all data protection requirements for using the map service in Germany. As long as this commitment from Google stands, we can offer you the map service. For further information about data processing by Google, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy (https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html). Instructions for your own privacy settings for Google products can be found at this link (https://www.dataliberation.org/). By default, no connection is established to Google servers. Data is only transmitted when the user actively clicks on "Load map".

To store the Dark Mode preference, an entry is created in the local storage of the browser to ensure accessibility/user-friendliness during subsequent visits.

Contacting Us via Contact Form or Email


Scope and Purpose of Data Processing
If you send us inquiries via the contact form or email, your details from the inquiry form or email, including the contact details you provided there (name, email address, and the content of your message), will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions.

Data Security

Notice Regarding Email Communication
Please note that unencrypted emails have security vulnerabilities and can be viewed or altered by third parties. The transmission of confidential data is at your own responsibility.
Legal Basis
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested (e.g., by confirming the checkbox in the form).

Storage Duration
We store the data entered by you in the contact form according to the following criteria:

General and organizational inquiries: This data remains with us until you request erasure, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Medical or treatment-related data: Should you, contrary to our explicit notices, send us treatment-relevant information via the form that is significant for your documentation or medical history, this will be transferred to your patient file. In this case, the data is subject to the statutory retention obligation for physicians pursuant to § 630f Section 3 BGB (German Civil Code) and will be stored securely for a period of 10 years following completion of treatment.

The terms and conditions regarding data processing on behalf of a controller in the web hosting contract (Data Processing Agreement) were concluded with the provider on May 30, 2023.
