So-called cookies are used on the website. These are data packets that are exchanged between the server of the law firm's website and the visitor's browser. These are stored when visiting the website by the devices used (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.). In this respect, cookies cannot cause any damage to the devices used. In particular, they do not contain viruses or other malware. Information is stored in the cookies that results in each case in connection with the specifically used terminal device. In no way can the firm obtain immediate knowledge of the identity of the visitor to the website.
Cookies are largely accepted according to the basic browser settings. The browser settings can be set so that cookies are either not accepted on the devices used or that a special message is displayed before a new cookie is created. However, it should be noted that the deactivation of cookies may mean that not all functions of the website can be used in the best possible way.
Cookies are also used to analyse calls to the website for statistical purposes and to improve the service. These cookies make it possible to recognize automatically with a renewed visit that the web page was already called up before by the visitor. Here, cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time.
The legal basis for the use of the analysis tools is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) DSGVO. The website analysis is in the legitimate interest of our law firm and serves the statistical recording of the use of the website for the continuous improvement of our law firm website and the offer of our services.
We use Google Analytics on our website with the suffix "_gat._anonymizeIp". In this case, Google will already reduce your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby make it anonymous. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our site, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services related to website and Internet use. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
There are no social networking plugins on our website.
if necessary, in the case of transfers to recipients in third countries, unless the EU Commission has decided on the adequacy of the level of protection pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 DSGVO, information on the appropriate guarantees provided for the protection of personal data pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 DSGVO.
There is no claim for deletion if the deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort in the case of legal, non-automated data processing due to the special type of storage and your interest in the deletion is low. In this case, the restriction of processing takes the place of deletion.
You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction may be required for the duration that enables us to check the accuracy of the data.
You have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO. The restriction of the processing can be demanded as long as it is not yet clear whether our justified reasons outweigh your reasons.
Restriction of processing means that personal data will only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest. Before we remove the restriction, we have a duty to inform you.
You have a right to transferability of data, provided that the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a) DSGVO) or on a contract to which you are a contracting party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In this case, the right to data transfer includes the following rights, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons: You can ask us to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You have the right to pass this data on to another person responsible without any hindrance on our part. If technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your personal data directly to another person responsible.
If the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter e) DSGVO (performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) DSGVO (legitimate interest of the person responsible or a third party), you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on Article 6(1), first sentence, letter e) or letter f) of the DSBER. After exercising the right of objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have the opportunity to inform us of your objection by telephone, e-mail or to our postal address listed at the beginning of this data protection declaration.
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of the consent can be communicated by telephone, by e-mail, or to our postal address informally. The legality of the data processing, which was carried out on the basis of the consent until receipt of the revocation, is not affected by the revocation. After receipt of the revocation the data processing, which was based exclusively on your consent, is stopped.
If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is unlawful, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority responsible for the place of your stay or work or the place of the alleged infringement.
