GDPR

General

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and comply with the applicable legal data protection regulations, particularly the Data Protection Act (DSG), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Telecommunications Act (TKG), as well as this data protection declaration.

What is personal data?

Personal data is information about data subjects (natural persons) whose identity is or can be identified. Examples of such data are name, date of birth, address, e-mail address, telephone number, gender, social security number, but also photos, video recordings and biometric data such as fingerprints. Sensitive data such as health data or data relating to criminal proceedings may also be included.

Processing and use of personal data

We collect, process and use your personal data only if there is a legal basis in accordance with the GDPR or only with your consent or assignment for the purposes agreed with you. We will only process data that is necessary for the execution and handling of our legal services or that you have voluntarily provided me us.

If you contact us via the contact form on our website, by telephone, e-mail or fax, we will process the personal data you provide (title, name, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number as well as any other data disclosed and any documents and certificates transmitted) for the purpose of processing your inquiry. We will process these data for the purpose of fulfilling (pre-)contractual obligations or on the basis of legitimate interests.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Transfer of personal data

In order to fulfill your request, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g. opposing party, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers I use and to whom I make data available, etc.) or to courts or authorities. Your data will be forwarded exclusively on the basis of the GDPR, in particular to fulfill your order or on the basis of your prior consent.

Within the scope of our legal representation, it is also regularly necessary to obtain factual and case-related information from third parties. All this is done in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations.

Server log files

For reasons of operational security, the hosting provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as server log files. These log files are stored for four weeks and then deleted. The statistical evaluation of the accesses provided by the provider does not contain any IP address.

Duration of storage of personal data

We only store your data for as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes already described and to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations. If your personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted or made anonymous so that you can no longer be identified.

Data security

The protection of your personal data is ensured by appropriate technical and organizational security measures. Despite all efforts, it cannot be ruled out that information we receive from you via the internet may be viewed by third parties. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. hacking of e-mail accounts).

Information, change of data and deletion

As a data subject, you have the right to be informed at any time about the personal data we have stored.

You also have the right to correct incorrect data and, under certain circumstances, to have your data deleted.

You may have the right to have the personal data you have provided us with released in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You have the possibility to contact a data protection supervisory authority (in Austria: Austrian Data Protection Authority) with your possible complaint.

If there are any changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly.
