If you contact us regarding any matter related to the website, our products, or the services we provide, providing your contact details may be necessary in order to respond to your inquiry.

Providing your personal data is a necessary condition for the provision of healthcare services due to the legal requirements imposed on the Controller, including in particular the obligation to maintain medical records.
