9.4 Retention period
Messages received through the contact form are kept by the practice for as long as necessary to deal with the request, then for no more than three (3) years from the last contact, unless they are added to your medical record. Data needed to comply with a legal obligation is kept for the period required by that obligation.
9.5 Transfers outside the European Union
If you accept audience measurement, certain technical data may be transferred outside the European Union by Google (see article 10). These transfers are governed by articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR, in particular by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses and, for the United States, by Google LLC’s certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

9.8 Patients’ health data (medical record)
The website does not collect health data, other than any you choose to attach to the contact form (article 9.2). When you consult Dr Victor Médard de Chardon, however, the practice team collects the information needed for your care and records it in your medical record. This processing is based on article 9.2.h of the GDPR (preventive medicine, diagnosis and care).
Data collected, limited to what is necessary:
- identity and contact details (surname, first name, address, telephone);
- social security number (NIR) and health cover (Assurance Maladie, mutuelle);
- information about your personal life that is relevant to your care (for example, the number of children);
- health information (medical history, diagnoses, prescriptions, treatment, medical photographs) and the contact details of the other professionals who follow you.
Retention period: 20 years from the last consultation; for a minor, if this period ends before their 28th birthday, the record is kept until that date.
Medical confidentiality: it covers everything that has come to the surgeon’s knowledge in the course of his profession: not only what he has been told, but also what he has seen, heard or understood. The whole practice team is bound by it and has made a commitment to it by signing a confidentiality charter.
Security:
- records hosted by a host certified as a “Hébergeur de données de santé” (HDS, certified health data host), on servers located in France;
- no storage on tablets or phones;
- password-protected computers, encrypted disks;
- exchanges with other healthcare professionals through secure health messaging (MSSanté);
- record of processing activities kept up to date.
Your rights over your record: you can access it and obtain a copy, add to it and have inaccurate information corrected. The record is provided no later than 8 days after your request, or 2 months if the information is more than 5 years old, and not before a 48-hour reflection period. Erasure is only possible once the statutory retention period has expired. To exercise these rights: secretaire@docteurmedarddechardon.com or by post at 101 rue d’Antibes, 06400 Cannes, France. You can also refer the matter to the CNIL (article 9.7).
