      1. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nData Protection<\/b>\n\nThe operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy. <\/span>\n\nWhen you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what I use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs. <\/span>\n\nI point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible. <\/span>\n\nInformation on the Controller<\/b>\n\nThe controller for data processing on this website is:<\/span>\n\nPatricia Heinis<\/span>\n<\/span>Private Practice for Relationship and Sex Therapy<\/span>\n<\/span>(gem\u00e4\u00df Heilpraktikergesetz f\u00fcr Psychotherapie)<\/span>\n<\/span>Grillparzerstr. 23 23<\/span>\n<\/span>c\/o Praxis Vita<\/span>\n<\/span>81675 Munich<\/span>\n\nPhone: +49(0) 176 8794 2535<\/span>\n<\/span>Email: info@patricia-heinis.de<\/span>\n\nThe controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).<\/span>\n\nStorage Period<\/b>\n\nUnless a more specific storage period has been mentioned within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with me until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply. <\/span>\n\nGeneral Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website<\/b>\n\nIf you have consented to data processing, I process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also takes place on the basis of \u00a7 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, I process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, I process your data if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the respective legal bases applicable in individual cases is provided in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy. <\/span>\n\nRecipients of Personal Data<\/b>\n\nIn the course of my business activities, I work with various external bodies. In some cases, it is necessary to transmit personal data to these external bodies. I only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if I am legally obliged to do so (e.g., passing on data to tax authorities), if I have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, I only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded. <\/span>\n\nRevocation of Your Consent to Data Processing<\/b>\n\nMany data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. <\/span>\n\nRight to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR).<\/b> If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, I will no longer process your affected personal data unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). <\/p>\n

        If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR). <\/p>\n

        <\/p>\nRight to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority<\/b>\n\nIn the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies. <\/span>\n\nRight to Data Portability<\/b>\n\nYou have the right to have data that I process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible. <\/span>\n\nInformation, Rectification, and Erasure<\/b>\n\nWithin the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time. <\/span>\n\nRight to Restriction of Processing<\/b>\n\nYou have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this, you can contact me at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: <\/span>\n
