Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages that do no harm to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping cart function), or for the optimisation of the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and version · operating system used · referrer URL · hostname of the accessing computer · time of server request · IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website — for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
Contact Form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
Enquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your enquiry including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed).

6. Plugins and Tools
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. This gives Google knowledge that this website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. Where appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google Maps
This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts for the purpose of uniform display of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and to make the locations indicated on the website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Where appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Online Booking via Doctolib
This website contains a button for the appointment booking service Doctolib. The provider is Doctolib GmbH, Friedrichstraße 111, 10117 Berlin, Germany.
The Doctolib logo in the button is loaded directly from a Doctolib GmbH server each time a page is opened. For technical reasons, your browser transmits your IP address, information about your browser and operating system, and the address of the page you are viewing to Doctolib, even if you do not click the button. The button is embedded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in offering you a simple way to book appointments online at any time.
When you click "Book" or "Message", you are forwarded to the Doctolib website. Doctolib processes the information you enter there (e.g. name, contact details, preferred appointment and reason for your visit) to arrange appointments and to handle communication with our practice, and passes it on to us. Doctolib acts as our processor for managing our appointments. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a treatment contract) and, where health data is concerned, Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR. Doctolib itself is the controller for managing your own Doctolib account.
