Data protection

The personal data collected as part of the registry is subject to the duty of confidentiality and the provisions of data protection law. Personal information will be pseudonymized, i.e. encrypted with a numerical code, and evaluated exclusively in pseudonymized form. The same applies to the publication of the registry results. Only the attending physician and the patient administrator can therefore assign the data to the particular patient. It is not possible to draw conclusions about a person when the data is used and published at a later date. Patients have the right to receive information about the personal data originating from himself/herself. The data will be stored for a period of 10 years. Participation in this survey is, of course, voluntary. The patients will not suffer any disadvantages if they do not participate. In the event of revocation of the declaration of consent, the data already collected will either be deleted or anonymized and only used in this form.
