Does your department process personal health data?

Personal health data are data relating to the physical or mental health, past, present or future, of a natural person (including the provision of healthcare services) that reveal information about that person's state of health.

This definition therefore includes, for example:

  • information relating to a natural person collected when registering for healthcare services or during the provision of such services: a specific number, symbol or element assigned to a natural person to uniquely identify him or her for healthcare purposes;
  • information obtained during the testing or examination of a body part or bodily substance, including from genetic data and biological samples;
  • information concerning a disease, disability, risk of disease, medical history, clinical treatment or physiological or biomedical condition of the person concerned (irrespective of its source, whether it comes, for example, from a doctor or other healthcare professional, a hospital, a medical device or an in vitro diagnostic test).

Warning this definition allows certain measurement data to be included, from which it is possible to deduce information about the person's state of health.
