IT systems when you visit the website (e.g. internet browser, 
operating system, time of the page visit).

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided 
without errors. In connection with your appointment request or 
treatment, we also process data to organize and carry out your 
medical care.

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge 
about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data, 
as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can 
withdraw any consent you have given at any time. You also have the 
right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. 
You can contact us at any time about this or any other questions.


2. HOSTING

We host the content of our website with the following provider:

Wix.com

The provider is Wix.com Ltd., 40 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv, Israel, 
with an establishment in the EU. Wix enables us to create and operate 
our website. For this purpose, Wix processes personal data. All 
personal data that you enter on this website or that is collected 
automatically is therefore also processed by Wix and stored on its 
servers.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have 
a legitimate interest in providing our website reliably. Where 
consent has been requested, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) 
GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

For further details, please see Wix's privacy policy: 
https://www.wix.com/about/privacy

Data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Wix. This is 
a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that Wix 
processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to 
our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.


3. GENERAL INFORMATION AND MANDATORY DISCLOSURES

Data protection

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat 
your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the 
statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Please 
note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating 
by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against 
access by third parties is not possible.

Notice on the responsible party

The party responsible for data processing on this website and in the 
course of our practice activities is:

MedCare Los Cristianos S.L.
Avenida de Suecia 10
38650 Los Cristianos, Tenerife, Spain
CIF/NIF: B21869698
Phone: 689199361
Email: drdbennewitzmedcare@gmail.com

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy 
policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for 
the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate 
request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, 
your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible 
reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax retention periods or 
the statutory minimum retention periods for patient records under 
Spanish health law); in that case, deletion takes place once these 
reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases of data processing

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal 
data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, where 
special categories of data (e.g. health data) under Art. 9(1) GDPR are 
processed. If your data is required to perform a treatment contract 
or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the 
basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In the healthcare context, processing is 
also based on Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR (preventive healthcare and medical 
treatment). We also process your data where this is necessary to 
comply with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) or on the basis of 
our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our practice activities, we work with various 
external parties (e.g. hosting providers and, where applicable, 
specialists or clinics providing further treatment). We only pass on 
personal data to external parties if this is necessary to carry out 
your treatment, if we are legally obliged to do so, if there is a 
legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if you have given us 
your explicit consent (e.g. issuing an invoice for submission to your 
private health insurer). When using processors, we only pass on data 
on the basis of a valid DPA.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit 
consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. 
The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the 
withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE 
RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA 
ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE 
WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE 
COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR 
INTERESTS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND 
LEGAL CLAIMS.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of GDPR violations, you have the right to lodge a 
complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member 
State of your habitual residence. The supervisory authority 
responsible for our practice in Spain is:

Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD)
C/ Jorge Juan, 6
28001 Madrid, Spain
www.aepd.es

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the 
basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to 
you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

Access, correction and deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the 
right at any time to receive free information about your stored 
personal data and, where applicable, the right to have this data 
corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the 
contact details above.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of 
your personal data, among other cases if you dispute the accuracy of 
the data, if the processing was unlawful, or if you have objected to 
the processing.

5. PROCESSING OF HEALTH DATA WHEN BOOKING APPOINTMENTS AND DURING 
TREATMENT

When you book an appointment and are treated at our practice, we 
process special categories of personal data within the meaning of 
Art. 9 GDPR, in particular health data (e.g. medical history, 
diagnoses, examination results, course of treatment).

This processing is carried out for the purposes of preventive 
healthcare, medical diagnosis, treatment and the management of health 
services in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR in conjunction with 
Art. 9(3) GDPR (medical confidentiality) and the Spanish Patient 
Rights Act (Ley 41/2002, básica reguladora de la autonomía del 
paciente).

Your health data is subject to medical confidentiality and is 
accessed only by our medical staff and, where necessary for the 
organizational support of your treatment, by our practice team.

Your patient file is kept in accordance with the statutory minimum 
retention periods of Spanish health law. 


6. DATA TRANSFERS TO THIRD COUNTRIES

The use of Wix and other integrated services (e.g. Google Maps) may 
result in personal data being transferred to countries outside the 
EU/EEA. For such transfers, we ensure that an adequate level of data 
protection is guaranteed, in particular through EU Standard 
Contractual Clauses with the respective providers.


7. MINORS

Our website and services are not specifically aimed at children under 
16. If minors are treated at our practice, data processing takes 
place with the involvement of their legal guardians, in accordance 
with the applicable legal provisions.


8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always 
complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our 
services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

If you have any questions about data protection, you can contact us 
at any time using the contact details above.
