As a user of our website www.metis-legal.de, this data protection statement gives you all necessary information on how, to what extent and for what purpose we or third parties collect personal data from you and use them.
The collection, processing, use and possible transfer of your data are strictly in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) and the German Telemedia Act (TMA).
Personal information is any information that helps to uniquely identify a person. It is, therefore, data that can be traced back to a person.
These personal details include the first name and last name, the telephone number and the email address of the concerned person. Personal details also include information on hobbies, memberships and preferences as well as websites that are accessed.
Processing refers to any single or series of operations, related to personal data and performed with or without the aid of automated procedures, such as collecting, recording, organising, filing, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, using, disclosure by submission, dissemination or other form of provision, synchronisation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction. Personal details will only be processed by us if the law permits this, or the user agrees to the collection, use and disclosure of the data.
In principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The personal data of our users is typically collected and used only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data by law is permitted.
Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. a GDPR applies as legal basis insofar as we obtain the consent of the concerned person for processing of personal data.
Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. b GDPR applies as legal basis to the processing of personal data necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the concerned person is a party. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.
Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. c GDPR applies as legal basis to the processing of personal data required to fulfil any of our mandatory legal obligations.
Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. d GDPR applies as legal basis if vital interests of the concerned or another natural person require the processing of personal data. Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. f GDPR applies as legal basis to the processing of data required to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the concerned person outweigh the interests of our company.
We store personal data according to the principles of data reduction and data economy only as long as it is required or legally prescribed (statutory retention period). We block or delete the data if the purpose of the information collected no longer exists or the retention period ends.
The personal data of the concerned person will be deleted or blocked once the purpose of the storage no longer exists. Data may also be stored if specified by the European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws or other regulations, governing the responsible party (e.g. Art. 50 para. 1 Rules of Professional Practice – Berufsordnung für Rechtsanwälte). Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion or fulfilment of the contract.

The data will be deleted as soon as it becomes unnecessary for fulfilling the purpose of its collection. The IP addresses in log files are anonymised so that identification of the calling client is not possible. In addition, log files are deleted after 60 days.

We use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against unauthorised access of third parties to it. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
On our website, you have the option to contact us to send us your applications online. The personal data transmitted to us during the application process will be used exclusively to process the relevant applications.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. b or f, Art. 88 GDPR.
Personal data that we receive as part of an application will first be saved for the duration of the application process and additionally for 6 months thereafter, and then deleted. Deviating from this, our confirmation of receipt is stored as a commercial letter (Handelsbrief) for six years. In other words, we will store the information contained in this confirmation of receipt, in particular names, contact details, date of application and the position applied. This extended storage serves to fulfil legal obligations and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. c GDPR, Sec. 257 HGB (German Commercial Code).
If the personal data is required beyond this time (for example, to assert or defend against civil law claims in connection with the application), deletion will take place as soon as the further storage of the data for these purposes is no longer necessary. In this case storage is based on Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. 1 f GDPR as well.
We will additionally ask for your consent if we want to process your details further (e.g. saving an application for later consideration).
In this context, we do not disclose any details to third parties. The data is used exclusively for the above purposes. You also have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.
Our website includes services and contents of other providers. These are, for example, maps provided by Google Maps. The transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary for this data to be accessed and displayed in the user's browser. Thus, the providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") record the IP address of the relevant user.
Although we endeavour to use only third-party providers, who only need the IP address to deliver content, we have no control over eventual storage of the IP address. This process may also be used for statistical purposes. We will inform our users of any known storage of IP address.
This data protection statement is currently applicable and up to date as of May 2018.
Amendment to this data protection statement may be necessary due to the further development of our website and offers thereof, or changed legal or official requirements. You can view and print the currently applicable data protection statement at any time at www.metis-legal.de/privacy.
