Privacy Statement

At Dermazoom, we place great importance on your privacy and handle your personal data with the utmost confidentiality and care. This privacy policy has been established in accordance with the legal requirements set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), effective as of 25 May 2018. In this privacy policy, we aim to provide you with detailed information regarding our data handling practices.

The GDPR not only governs the protection of data stored in databases, but also regulates the entire process of data handling — from collection to storage and transmission. Each stage of personal data processing must comply with strict standards of care. Under the GDPR, organizations are required to provide transparency regarding all personal data processing activities.

At Dermazoom, this privacy policy specifically addresses the protection of informational privacy — that is, the rules surrounding the handling of personal data of individuals. Many patients are unaware of how their data is used. Therefore, it is crucial that patients trust that their data is handled securely and responsibly by Dermazoom and its employees.

The Healthcare Institutions Quality Act (Kwalite[1] itswet zorginstellingen) obliges healthcare providers that operate or manage institutions to deliver high-quality care to their patients. This refers to responsible care — that is, patient-centered care of a high standard. Patient privacy is an essential aspect of this responsible care. Transparency about how personal data is handled is therefore of utmost importance.

Dermazoom’s privacy policy is focused on protecting the personal privacy of patients in relation to the processing of their personal data. Personal data is processed only to the extent necessary for the proper treatment, care, or management of the patient.

The privacy policy includes guidelines for the use and processing of data, the management of patient records at Dermazoom, a description of the role of the Data Protection Officer, a list of abbreviations, and a bibliography.

The objective is to safeguard the personal privacy of individuals in the context of the processing of patient data within Dermazoom, to the extent necessary for the provision of proper treatment or care.

This policy provides practical implementation and transparency regarding how this is carried out, and it is intended for the following target groups:

It also applies to all partner organizations involved in the processing of personal data.
