Privacy is of great importance within mental health care. We take strict measures to protect your privacy. This includes restricting access to your data to authorised staff, using encrypted data transfer systems and complying with all relevant data protection laws and regulations.

Only authorised healthcare providers directly involved in your treatment have access to your data. These may be Goedebuur’s psychologists, occupational therapists or psychiatrists. Your data will never be shared with third parties without your explicit consent, unless required by law. Only if it is relevant to your treatment and with your consent may we share your data with other healthcare providers outside our institution. This often happens in situations where cooperation between different healthcare providers is beneficial for your well-being.

Your data will be kept according to the legal requirements and guidelines of the mental health institution. In general, medical records are kept for at least 15 years after termination of treatment.

You have the right to inspect your medical records and correct any inaccuracies. You can contact your practitioner for this.

We take the privacy of our online visitors seriously. Our website uses encrypted connections (HTTPS) to protect your data when transmitting information. We collect personal data only when necessary for specific purposes, such as making an appointment or sending information. Our full privacy policy for online activities is available on the website.

While we make every effort to safeguard your privacy, there are situations where we may be legally required to share information, such as in cases of suspected child abuse, imminent danger to yourself or others, or court orders.
