2. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data means any information that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, what we use it for, and how and why this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Dr. med. Karolin Stein
Kiefholzstraße 179, 12437 Berlin

Phone: +49 176 - 985 36 150
Email: info@privatpraxis-stein.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses, and similar information.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing activities are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before your withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If your personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal basis for the processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a lock symbol appears in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Restriction, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have the right to request correction, restriction, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of that review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Some pages on this website use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted when you leave the website. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions requested by you are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies are used, for example for analysis of browsing behavior, they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website, and for this purpose server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you enter in the form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your inquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Inquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data such as your name and the content of your inquiry, will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and / or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in handling inquiries addressed to us efficiently.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your request has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
