  1. Cookies

 

The National Health Federation uses so-called “cookies.”

To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

 

  1. Information Obligation
  2. With this policy statement, the National Health Federation meets its information obligation by informing the persons whose personal data are being processed. This information is provided prior to the collection of the personal data or, if the data originate from third parties, prior to the moment of recording.

With this policy statement, the National Health Federation further informs Users about their personal data being processed, for what purposes, and upon what basis and to whom the personal data are provided. Finally, this Declaration specifies which retention periods the National Health Federation will use.

  2. Every person involved has the right to inspect his or her records being held by the company. A request for access may be at minimal cost to the requestor, depending upon the exact record request.
  3. If the National Health Federation doubts the identity of the petitioner, then it may as soon as possible request the petitioner to provide further information in writing regarding his identity so as to provide valid proof of identity. This request tolls and suspends the deadline for the National Health Federation’s compliance with the initial request until the time that the requested proof of identity is delivered.

  1. If a User has made a request for the correction of his or her personal data used or processed by the National Health Federation, the same User may also request that the use and processing be restricted during the period of time that the National Health Federation investigates the request. Even if the User is of the opinion that the National Health Federation unlawfully processes personal data or no longer needs them, or if the involved User has objected to data processing, the involved User may request (temporarily) to limit data processing and use.

 

  1. In those cases where the National Health Federation agrees to comply with the request for limitation of data use and processing, the National Health Federation will only process personal data with the consent of the involved User or when there is a legitimate interest (including, but not limited to, the institution, exercise, or substantiation of a legal claim).

  1. Protests.
  2. The person concerned is entitled at all times to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her on the grounds of a specific basis of those provisions.

When personal data are processed for the purposes of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to him for such marketing, including profiling relating to direct marketing. If the data subject objects to such processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

 

  1. The National Health Federation must assess whether the objection is justified within four weeks of receipt of the objection. If the objection is justified, then the processing of personal data must be terminated immediately.

 

  1. The data subject also has the right to have the personal data transferred. This means that the person concerned can submit a request to the National Health Federation to send the personal data that is available about the person involved in a computer file to the data subject or to another organization named by the data subject.
