To perform our services; analyze your samples where applicable, and maintain records
We process your name, personal identification number or date of birth (if you do not have a Swedish personal identification number), contact details, date of performing ultrasound or prenatal diagnostic tests, and results of our services to maintain records in connection with your care and fulfill our obligations as a healthcare provider. We may also update and process your personal data based on healthcare services you have received from other providers than Babyscreen if deemed necessary to provide you with care. This includes, for example, information about your medical history that our healthcare staff accesses via the National Patient Overview (NPÖ), a national system for integrated record-keeping, to the extent it is deemed relevant to assist you with your healthcare case or if you have consented to it. You have the right to object to integrated record-keeping.
The processing is necessary to fulfill legal obligations for us as healthcare providers according to the Patient Data Act (SFS 2008:355), the Patient Safety Act (SFS 2010:659), and the Health and Medical Services Act (SFS 2017:30) as well as for reasons related to medical diagnoses, the provision of healthcare, and record-keeping, according to Article 6.1(c) and 9.2(h) of the GDPR. We keep digital records which are stored in date files. How we should and may process your data for record-keeping is regulated by the Patient Data Act and the National Board of Health and Welfare’s regulations and general advice on record-keeping and the processing of personal data in healthcare (HSLF-FS 2016:40).
We process your personal identification number to ensure secure identification and because it is necessary for us to comply with the law.

To handle any complaints and claims
BabyScreen processes your name and contact details to handle any complaints from you or other claims or to initiate any claims. If necessary, we also process other personal data about you, e.g., from our communication with you regarding the complaint or claim.
We process your personal data for this purpose based on a balancing of interests according to Article 6.1(f) of the GDPR, where our legitimate interest is to be able to handle and defend ourselves against any legal complaints or claims.
