3. General information on data processing

The protection of your personal data is important to me. Personal data are processed on this website only to the extent necessary for providing the website, responding to enquiries, organising appointments, or complying with legal requirements.

Personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, name, contact details, IP address, or the content of an enquiry.

The processing of personal data is carried out in particular on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, insofar as it is necessary for the secure and functional provision of this website. If you contact us or submit an enquiry, processing is carried out, depending on the content of the enquiry, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent is obtained, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Please note that enquiries in a psychotherapeutic context may involve particularly sensitive information. Therefore, please avoid sending detailed health data or especially confidential information by email unless this is necessary for the initial contact.

4. SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser begins with “https://” and a lock symbol is displayed.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data that you transmit via this website generally cannot easily be read by third parties. Please note, however, that communication by email may involve security risks and that complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.

5. Access data and server log files

When this website is accessed, the hosting provider automatically processes information transmitted by your browser. This may include, in particular:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Page or file accessed
  • Referrer URL
  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Amount of data transferred

These data are processed in order to technically provide the website, ensure the stability and security of the website, and trace possible technical disruptions.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable, and functional provision of this website.

These data are not combined with other data sources.

The storage period of the server log files depends on the settings and specifications of the respective hosting provider.

6. Hosting

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. In connection with hosting this website, IONOS may process personal data generated when this website is accessed. This includes, in particular, technical access data and server log files, such as IP address, date and time of access, pages or files accessed, referrer URL, browser type, browser version, and operating system used.

IONOS is used in the interest of providing this website securely, stably, and reliably.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable, and functional provision of this website.

A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR exists with IONOS, or, where applicable, the data processing provisions are part of the contractual arrangements with IONOS.

7. Contact by email or telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, the information you provide will be processed in order to respond to your enquiry and, if applicable, to arrange an appointment.

In particular, the following data may be processed:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Content of your enquiry
  • Date and time of contact

Please note that emails may generally involve security risks. For initial contact, it is recommended not to transmit detailed health data or especially confidential information by email.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your enquiry is directed towards arranging an appointment or a possible treatment contract. In other cases, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for processing the enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests in further storage apply.

8. Appointment booking via Doctolib

This website may provide a link to appointment booking via Doctolib. If you click the corresponding link, you leave this website and are redirected to the Doctolib service.

Doctolib is generally responsible for data processing on the Doctolib website or platform. The Doctolib privacy notices apply.

Legal basis for providing the link: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The legitimate interest lies in providing a user-friendly option for scheduling appointments.

If Doctolib is not merely linked but directly integrated into this website as a widget or embedded service, data may already be transmitted to Doctolib when the website is accessed. In this case, a separate data protection assessment and, if necessary, a consent solution are required.

9. Google Maps / directions

This website may use a link to Google Maps or a privacy-friendly two-click solution to display directions.

If only an external link to Google Maps is provided, personal data are transmitted to Google only when you actively click the link and access Google’s website.

If Google Maps is embedded directly on this website, personal data, in particular technical access data, may already be transmitted to Google when the map is loaded. In this case, the embedding is carried out only on the basis of your consent.

Legal basis in the case of external linking: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Legal basis in the case of direct embedding after consent: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

10. Fonts

Fonts are used on this website to enable a consistent and appealing display of content.

Insofar as the fonts are integrated locally on the website’s own server, no connection to external font provider servers is established when the website is accessed.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The legitimate interest lies in a technically stable and visually consistent presentation of the website.

If fonts are loaded via external providers, in particular Google Fonts, this section must be adjusted accordingly.

11. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses only technically necessary cookies or similar technologies insofar as these are required for the operation of the website.

Technically necessary cookies are used, for example, for the secure provision of the website, storing cookie settings, or the technical functionality of individual page areas.

If non-technically necessary cookies or similar technologies are used beyond this, for example for analytics, marketing, external media, or embedded third-party services, this is done only on the basis of your consent.

Legal basis for technically necessary cookies: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Section 25(2) TDDDG.
Legal basis for cookies requiring consent: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

You can withdraw or change any consent you have given at any time via the cookie settings.

12. Recipients of personal data

Possible recipients may include in particular:

  • Hosting providers
  • Technical service providers
  • Appointment booking providers, in particular Doctolib, if you use the service
  • External map service providers, if you actively use these services or consent to their integration

Data are not disclosed for advertising purposes.

13. Storage period

Personal data are stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes or for as long as statutory retention periods apply.

Data from contact enquiries are deleted once the enquiry has been conclusively processed, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests in further storage apply.

Technical access data and server log files are stored in accordance with the respective hosting provider’s specifications and are subsequently deleted or anonymised.

If personal data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

In the event of an objection, the personal data concerned will no longer be processed unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
