No processing of the data shall expressly take place for the purpose of acquiring knowledge about the person visiting the website.
Visitors may send messages to the chancellery via an online form on the website. To enable the chancellery to respond to queries of this type, a valid e-mail address needs to be specified at minimum. The person submitting the query may include further details voluntarily. In sending their message via the contact form, the visitor simultaneously approves the processing of any personal data they send. This data will be processed solely for the purpose of dealing with and answering queries via the contact form and shall be done so based on consent granted voluntarily in accordance with Art. 6 Para 1 1a) of the GDPR. Personal data collected for use of the contact form shall be deleted automatically as soon as the query has been dealt with and any reasons for its continuing storage (such as the subsequent commissioning of our chancellery) cease to apply.
- this is required according to Art. 6 Para. 1 1b) of GDPR in order to fulfill a contract in which the data subject is a party.
In no other cases shall we forward your personal data to third parties.
Our website makes use of what are known as cookies. These are data packets exchanged between the server of the chancellery website and the visitor's browser. On visiting the website, these will be saved by the device used in each case (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.). In this respect, cookies cannot cause any damage to the devices used. In particular they will not become infected with any viruses or other harmful types of software as a result. Subsequent information created in conjunction with the specific end device used is stored in each case. This information cannot provide the chancellery with information on the identity of the visitor to the website in any circumstances.
Cookies are accepted depending on the user’s basic browser settings for the most part. The browser may be set so that cookies are either not accepted on the devices used or so that a special warning appears each time before a new cookie is added. It is important to note however that in such cases deactivating cookies can prevent optimal use of all website functions.
Temporary cookies are used to improve user friendliness. These are saved for a temporary period of time on the visitor’s device. When the visitor returns to the website, the owner can then automatically detect that the visitor had accessed the site at an earlier point in time, as well as which data they input and any settings they made during their visit so there is no need for them to re-enter these.
The processing of data by cookies for the above purposes is lawful in order to uphold the justified interests of the chancellery in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 1f) of the GDPR.
Analysis programs like Google Analytics are not used on this website.
This website does not use any social network plug-ins.
- where applicable, in the case of transfer to recipients in third countries where the EU commission resolution about suitable privacy levels according to Art. 45 Para. 3 of the GPDR is not in place, information about any suitable guarantees on personal data protection to be provided in accordance with Art, 46 Para. 2 of the GPDR.
In cases where you ascertain that we are in possession of personal data about yourself that is incorrect, you are entitled to demand this incorrect data be corrected immediately. In case of personal data about yourself being incomplete, you are likewise entitled to demand it be completed.
- The personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was originally processed.
- The justification basis for the processing was your consent alone, which you have subsequently withdrawn.
- You have raised an objection to the processing of personal data which we have disclosed to the public.
- You have raised an objection to the processing of personal data that was not disclosed by us and no overriding justified reasons for its processing apply.
- The personal data needs to be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
No right to its deletion exists if, in the case of legitimate non-automated data processing, its erasure is not possible due to the special nature of its storage or this is only possible following a disproportionate amount of time expenditure and where your interest in its deletion is minor. In such cases, rather than deletion, its processing shall instead be restricted.
- You dispute the correctness of your personal data. In such cases, the restriction might be requested for the duration of the time we require to check the correctness of this data.
- Its processing is unlawful and, rather than deletion, you demand use of your personal data be restricted.
- Your personal data is no longer required by us for the original processing purpose(s) yet you require this in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
- You have submitted an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR. The restriction on processing can be demanded for the time during which it is not yet certain whether our justified reasons override your own reasons.
Restriction of processing means that the personal data is only processed with your consent or in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or else for reasons of significant public interest. Before we revoke this restriction, we shall inform you of this.
You have a right to data portability in cases where the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1, 1a) or Art. 9 Para. 2 a) GDPR) or is based on a contract to which you are a party and the processing takes place by means of an automated procedure. The right to data portability in this case includes the following rights, providing they do not infringe the rights and freedoms of any other persons: You may demand that you obtain from us the personal data you have provided us with in a commonly available, structured, machine-readable format. You are entitled to transfer this data to another controller without any hindrances on our part. Where technically feasible, you may request that we transfer your personal data to another controller directly. This shall not apply in cases where right of retention for the data saved in the data centre is applicable in accordance with (§ 273 (1) German Civil Code (BGB) and § 66 German Tax Consultancy Law (StBerG)).
In cases where processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1, 1e) of the GPDR (performing a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in them) or on Art. 6 Para. 1 Para. 1f) of the GPDR (legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party), you are entitled to raise objection to the data processing at any time on compelling legitimate grounds relating to your particular situation. This also applies in case of profiling based on Art. 6 Para. 1, 1 e) or f) of the GDPR. After exercising your right to raise an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we are able to verify compelling legitimate grounds for its processing which override your own interests, rights and freedoms or its processing is for the assertion, exercising or defence of legal claims.
As a data subject, you may raise an objection to the processing of your personal data for use in direct mail addresses at any time. This applies also in the case of “profiling”, which is also associated with direct mail addresses of this nature. After you have exercised your right to raise an objection, we shall no longer use your personal data for the purpose of direct mail addresses.
You are entitled to inform us of your objection via e-mail, fax or via the postal address specified at the start of this data protection declaration and without the use of any form.
You are entitled to revoke any consent you have granted with effect for the future at any time. Your cancellation of consent may be communicated via telephone, e-mail or fax where applicable or via our postal address and without the use of any forms. The cancellation shall not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that took place based on your consent up until the cancellation was received. Following receipt of your cancellation, processing of the data, which was based solely on your consent, shall subsequently be ceased.
In cases where you consider processing of your personal data to be unlawful, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory data protection authority responsible for your place of residence or work location or for the location of the supposed infringement.
