Privacy policy of Osteopathy Rousseau

General
The General Data Protection Regulation (AVG) is the law that regulates the privacy and protection of personal data. Under this law, an organisation working with personal data has certain obligations and the person whose data is processed has certain rights. In addition, specific rules apply to healthcare, as laid down in the Medical Treatment Agreement Act (WGBO). These privacy regulations are intended to inform you about your rights and the obligations of Osteopathy Rousseau under the AVG and the WGBO.
