Privacy Policy
Protecting your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be processed when you use this website, what it is used for, and what rights you have in relation to its processing.
1. Data controller
The data controller is:
Name: Mária Hlohovská
E-mail: maria@hlbinnaterapia.sk
Web: https://hlbinnaterapia.com
2. What personal data I process
You do not need to create a user account or provide personal data simply to browse the website.
I process personal data mainly when you contact me through the contact or booking form, by email, or by another stated method. This may include your name, email address, telephone number if you provide it, and any information you choose to include in your message.
The contact form and email are not intended for sending detailed information about your health or other sensitive personal data. If sensitive information needs to be communicated, it is advisable to agree on a more secure method of communication.
3. What I use your data for
I use the personal data you provide when contacting me solely for purposes related to your request, in particular to:
- respond to your questions and messages,
- arrange or change an appointment,
- communicate with you before our work together begins,
- communicate with you in connection with the agreed service.
I do not use your email address or other contact details to send advertising or marketing communications without your explicit consent.
4. Legal basis for processing
If you contact me regarding psychological counselling, therapy or another service, I process your personal data primarily so that I can respond to your request and take the steps necessary before or during our work together.
The legal basis is primarily taking steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contractual relationship, or the performance of a contractual relationship, pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where necessary, data may also be processed to comply with legal obligations or to protect the legitimate interests of the controller.
5. Technical data when visiting the website
When you visit the website, certain technical data may be processed automatically as part of the normal operation of the web server, such as your IP address, browser type, time of the request, or information about the page visited. This data may be necessary to ensure the proper and secure operation of the website and to protect it against misuse.
6. Cookies
The website may use technical cookies that are necessary for it to function properly. If other cookies requiring your consent are used, they will only be activated based on your choice.
Detailed information about the cookies used and how you can manage them can be found on the Cookie Policy page.
7. Who may have access to your data
I do not sell your personal data or provide it to third parties for marketing purposes.
To the extent necessary, data may be accessible to providers of technical services required for the operation of the website and communications, such as the web-hosting provider, email service provider, or website administrator. These parties process data only to the extent necessary to provide the relevant service.
8. How long I retain your data
I retain personal data from ordinary contact communications only for as long as necessary to deal with your request and any subsequent communication. If our work together gives rise to a legal or contractual relationship, some data may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect legal claims.
Data that is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected will be deleted or anonymised unless there is a legal reason for retaining it further.
9. Your rights
In relation to the processing of your personal data, and subject to the conditions laid down by law, under the GDPR you have in particular the right to:
- request access to your personal data,
- request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete data,
- request the erasure of your personal data,
- request restriction of processing,
- object to processing where it is based on a legitimate interest,
- request data portability where the legal conditions are met,
- withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent.
You can exercise your rights by contacting me at the email address provided above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority.
10. Automated decision-making
No automated individual decision-making or profiling takes place when personal data is processed through this website.
11. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, for example if the services used or legal requirements change. The current version will always be published on this page.
