Photo documentation in connection with cosmetic treatment/surgery is done in accordance with the ‘Executive Order on Cosmetic Treatment’.
Employees at Aleris Hospitaler are subject to a duty of confidentiality. This means that, as a general rule, they must not exchange data about your health with other parties without your consent. Your consent to exchange of data is connected with your current course of treatment. Exchange of health data is often essential for successful treatment and a consistent course of treatment. Data may only be obtained/disclosed to the extent necessary. Therefore, our staff will always assess the relevance of data that are to be disclosed.
When you use our hospitals, we collect the following personal data:
- General data: Name, address information, email, telephone numbers
- Civil registration (CPR) number
- Sensitive data:
- Health data
- Pre-imaging and post-imaging in connection with cosmetic treatment

- Social circumstances (e.g. if there is a need of home care or municipal rehabilitation)
We may exchange your personal data with:
- Insurance companies if the data processing is paid by these
- General practitioner or specialist physician
- Public hospitals
- Other healthcare professionals, for example private hospitals, physiotherapists, municipalities
- Regions in connection with invoicing if your examination or treatment at Aleris is paid by the public sector
From and to whom can Aleris automatically collect and disclose information without your consent?
Healthcare professionals and administrative staff internally at Aleris have access to your personal data and health data to the extent that they participate in your treatment or contribute to documentation and invoicing of your course of treatment.
There may be a need to obtain relevant health data before your visit to Aleris, e.g. a copy of previous case notes or order of X-rays or images from a scan. This can be done without your consent, in accordance with Section 9 of the Danish Health Care Act (Sundhedsloven). However, you may at any time ask us to refrain from this by contacting Aleris Hospitaler.
There may be cases in which Aleris discloses your health data without your consent to ensure a successful and consistent course of treatment if you are transferred to a public hospital for further treatment.
A copy of your case notes is automatically sent to your own doctor after an outpatient visit or surgery at Aleris Hospitaler. If you do not want this, you must notify Aleris Hospitaler.
If the region pays for your examination or treatment, a copy of your case notes will be sent to the referring hospital department. In addition, information about current courses of treatment in the form of diagnostic codes and examinations or operations performed is sent to the regional office in connection with invoicing to the region.
If there is specific information that you do not want to be disclosed, or if there are any healthcare professionals or authorities that you do not want to be informed, please let us know.
The Danish Health Care Act imposes an obligation on the hospital to report information about treated patients to the Danish Health Authority’s National Patient Register (LPR), see ‘Executive Order on Doctors’ Reporting to the National Patient Register of Treatment Performed in Private Hospitals and Clinics’, see ‘Executive Order on Reporting of Approved Clinical Quality Databases and Disclosure of Data to the Danish Health Data Authority’.
The data will never be transferred to third countries (non-EU member states).

Consent to exchange of information for purposes other than treatment is valid for maximum one year.
You can always withdraw your consent in full or in part. You do this by contacting Aleris’s staff.
Access to patient records
In accordance with Section 42a(1) of the Danish Health Care Act, doctors, dentists, midwives, nurses, public health nurses, social and healthcare assistants, radiographers and paramedics with special competence have unlimited access to obtain electronic health data, other information about purely private matters as well as other confidential information necessary and relevant in connection with treatment of a patient. Staff with secretarial functions are not healthcare professionals under the meaning of the law.
In accordance with Section 42a(10) of the Danish Health Care Act, a healthcare professional may, under his or her responsibility, let secretaries provide technical assistance for referencing information to which the healthcare professional himself/herself has access. Staff with secretarial functions can thus both write and look up data in electronic systems containing health data etc.
In accordance with Section 42a(4) of the Danish Health Care Act, the hospital management or department management must make public if they grant permission for other healthcare professionals to have the same access to electronic patient records.
On this basis, it is hereby made public that the hospital management of Aleris Hospitaler has decided to authorise the following healthcare professionals throughout the hospital unit to have the same extended access as the healthcare professionals mentioned in Section 42a(1) of the Danish Health Care Act to obtain all the data necessary/relevant about the patient’s health situation, other purely private matters and other confidential information for use for the treatment in question:
- Dieticians
- Psychologists
- Physiotherapists
- Chiropractors
- Laboratory technicians

Aleris may disclose the relevant master data regarding the employment relationship to affiliated companies within or outside the EU for use for the above purposes. Some jurisdictions do not provide the same protection of personal data as EU/EEA member states. When transferring your data to such jurisdictions, Aleris will ensure that the transfer complies with any applicable statutory requirements and that an adequate level of protection is provided for your data.

Aleris is the data controller for its own processing of payroll and staff data about the company’s employees. As a member of the Confederation of Danish Employers (DA), Aleris is obliged to participate in DA’s statistics on payroll and HR conditions.
Participation in these statistics means that Aleris discloses personal data about the employees’ payroll and HR conditions to DA. The data are disclosed via the payroll administrative systems and DA’s website indberetning.da.dk. DA is the data controller for the processing of the disclosed personal data for statistical purposes.
Trusted employees at Aleris answer questions about the employees’ payroll and HR conditions on enquiries from DA. DA makes summaries of the data quality available to Aleris on access-restricted pages of indberetning.da.dk, which contain personal data.
If Aleris uses the web-based tool www.NetStat.dk, trusted employees at Aleris may access statistics via this tool, including personal data about own employees in Mine tal (My figures). In order to comply with Aleris’s obligations under the Danish Act on Statistics Denmark (Lov om Danmarks Statistik), DA discloses the personal data to Statistics Denmark in unprocessed form.

Deadlines for erasure and storage of personal data
All patient data which we enter in our patient records in Aleris are stored in accordance with the ‘Executive Order on Authorised Healthcare Professionals’ Patient Case Notes and Records’. Patient records must not be erased, see Danish Consolidated Act on Limitation of Claims (the Limitation Act) (Bekendtgørelse af lov om forældelse af fordringer (Forældelsesloven). Aleris must at all times be able to find documentation for performed examinations and treatments in case of patient complaints.
We store relevant personal data such as employment contracts, time sheet/holiday/absence registrations etc. and for up to five years after the severance date.
The reason for storing employment contracts, time sheet/holiday/absence registrations and other records for five years after the severance date is that if a legal action or a similar claim is brought by an employee or a former employee, Aleris must be able to meet the dispute. Aleris must be able to meet cases until they are barred by limitation, see Section 4 of the Danish Limitation Act and D4 Guidelines ‘Timetable, filing of employee documents, severance and erasure of employees’ (Timeplan, arkivering af medarbejderdokumenter, fratrædelse og sletning af medarbejder), https://aleris.d4.dk/?DokID=52739
Any deviation from the erasure of data five years after severance, for example in connection with a pending case under employment law, will require approval by the HR Director.
All other personal data are erased or anonymised when they are no longer relevant for the purpose for which they were collected.
