We care about your privacy and the privacy of your family members. In line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we need your consent to collect and process your health and other data.
If you do not provide your explicit consent for the processing of your personal data as outlined below, we will not be able to handle your data, provide cashless access to treatment or process any claims that may be owed to you. For more information, please have a look at our privacy notice.

I agree to the following:
- Permission to collect, store and use my health data: my data is being collected, stored and used in order to administer the policy or process any claims in compliance with the local regulations.

Permission to obtain my data from third parties: my health and other data may be obtained from physicians, nursing and hospital staff, other medical institutions, care homes, statutory health insurance funds, my Plan Sponsor, professional associations and public authorities to provide me with insurance cover or process any claims. I agree to release all individuals at these institutions and the health insurer from their respective confidentiality obligations relating to my health data or other data that they are required to share and use for these aforementioned stated purposes.

Sharing my data: my health data may be shared with the institutions set out below for them to use to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the health insurer. I understand that the health insurer has put in place contractual arrangements with these institutions to protect my data. I agree to release all individuals at these institutions and the health insurer from their respective confidentiality obligations relating to my health data or other data that they are required to share and use for the purposes set out below:
- With independent medical experts if this is necessary to process my claim as per my insurance policy
