Data protection declaration

As of 1.9.2023

I, Diana Ramette-Schneider, SONO Musiktherapie-Praxis, Neubrückstrasse 92, 3012 Bern

hereby confirm that I comply with the following rules in accordance with the Data Protection Act and the relevant regulations.
The purpose of this declaration is to inform you, as my client, about how I handle your personal and sensitive data collected in my practice.
Only data that is relevant to the therapeutic treatment or to information about possible offers is processed. This is exclusively data that I have recorded with your consent, that you send to me or that can be found in publicly accessible directories (telephone directory, etc.). This may include general information about you (name, address, telephone number, etc.), information about your health/illness progress, diagnoses already made and, where applicable, other data you have sent me in connection with the treatment (patient file).
This data is collected, recorded and processed exclusively in your patient file, or in the file required for administration, in particular in the application for invoicing under tariff 590. In these two storage locations, all processing steps carried out on your data, including the responsible persons, can be traced. I only pass on your personal data to persons or areas of my practice who need them to fulfil their contractual and legal obligations. These persons are informed about the applicable data protection rules and are obliged to comply with them. Further persons or institutions (insurers etc.) will only be given access to your data or parts thereof with your explicit consent. Exceptions are judicial orders or the enforcement of justified claims on the part of the practice.
If your data is physically collected and processed, it will be stored in a lockable room or cabinet that is not accessible to unauthorised third parties. Electronically collected data is stored securely (firewall, password, etc.).
Unless cantonal or other legal regulations stipulate otherwise, your data collected by me will be deleted twenty years after your last consultation in my practice.
Written communication between my practice and you takes place by e-mail. Either encrypted with a common encryption programme or - with your written consent - unencrypted.

As a current or former client, you can request a duplicate of all your data collected by me in a common electronic format at any time. Only physically available data will be scanned for this purpose and sent to you as a PDF or in paper form. As a rule, the data will be handed over to you free of charge and within a maximum of 30 days.
The person responsible for all questions relating to the processing of your personal data and the exercise of your rights, is your treating therapist,
