How long will your data be stored?

UZ Leuven does not keep your personal data longer than necessary. For the retention of various categories of data, the legislator has imposed a minimum period that UZ Leuven must adhere to. For your medical records, this means that we are bound to a minimum retention period of 30 years after the last contact with you as a patient.
