Privacy Policy

How we protect your personal data When you become a patient with us, we process certain personal data. We only retain this information for as long as necessary. We have summarized information here regarding your rights as a patient and how we handle this data.

What is considered personal data? Personal data includes all information that can be linked to an individual. This can, for example, be a name, personal identity number, address, or an audio recording. It can also include more sensitive information regarding your health.

Legislation The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act regulate how personal data may be used within healthcare. GDPR has replaced the Personal Data Act (PuL).

The role of GDPR is to regulate how we process personal data to ensure patient safety, high quality, and patient privacy, as well as to protect against unauthorized access.

How we handle your personal data In order to carry out our mission safely and in accordance with current legislation and regulatory requirements, we require certain information from you. We only collect the personal data we need and do not keep it longer than necessary.

Your rights as our patient Under current legislation, you have the right to access your medical records and other data concerning you, and to request that incorrect information be corrected or supplemented.

In certain cases, information in a medical record may be removed. If you, as a patient, wish for information in your record to be erased or destroyed, you must apply for this through the Swedish Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO).

You always have the right to receive information about how we process your personal data.
