Objection to the use of the eGD (opt-out)

The opt-out has the effect that all medical and genetic data already stored will be irrevocably deleted. As long as the opt-out remains upright, it is also not possible to upload medical and genetic data to your electronic health record. The opt-out remains valid for an unlimited period of time, but it can be revoked at any time by request. The medical data and genetic data deleted by the previous objection cannot be restored even if the objection is revoked.

You can opt out at any time and via various methods.
