The responsible party conducts clinical study with objects for which the processing of personal (health) data is required. Type and amount of processed personal (health) data varies depending on the type and focus of the respective study.

Participation in studies is voluntary and takes place based on consent within the meaning of  Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent to study participation can be revoked at any time without giving reasons and without any adverse consequences for the study participants. If consent is revoked, personal data of study participants will no longer be processed and all personal data stored up to that point will be deleted, provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.

For the initial collection of personal (health) data, the responsible party uses questionaires which are provided as a download in digital form over the website of the responsible party among other places. 

We would like to point out that communication by unencrypted e-mail involves the risk that transmitted data can be viewed by third parties. To avoid risks and protect personal (health) data as best as possible, we recommend sending completed questionnaires exclusively by mail.

The personal (health) data collected in the course of studies are stored on the server of the responsible party. Furthermore, a patient file is created. All persons who have access to personal (health) data are subject to medical confidentiality.
