4. cookies
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 by the respective devices used (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting the website. In this respect, cookies cannot cause any damage to the devices used. In particular, they do not contain viruses or other malware. In the cookies, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. The law firm can therefore in no way obtain direct knowledge of the identity of the visitor to the website.
Cookies are mostly accepted according to the basic settings of the browsers. The browser settings can be configured in such a way that cookies are either not accepted on the devices used or that a special notice is given in each case 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.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of the web offer of the law firm more comfortable. For example, session cookies can be used to track whether the visitor has already visited individual pages of the website. After leaving the website, these session cookies are automatically deleted.
Temporary cookies are used to improve user-friendliness. They are stored on the visitor’s device for a temporary period of time. When the website is visited again, it is automatically recognized that the visitor has already called up the page at an earlier time and which entries and settings were made in order to avoid having to repeat them.
Cookies are also used to analyze the visits to the website for statistical purposes and for the purpose of improving the offer. These cookies make it possible to automatically recognize on a new visit that the website has already been called up by the visitor before. In this case, the cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time.
The data processed by cookies is justified for the above-mentioned purposes in order to protect the legitimate interests of the law firm in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter f) DSGVO.

6. your rights as a data subject
Insofar as your personal data is processed on the occasion of your visit to our website, you are entitled to the following rights as a “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR:
6.1 Information
You can request information from us as to whether personal data of yours is being processed by us. There is no right to information if the provision of the requested information would violate the duty of confidentiality pursuant to Section 83 StBerG or if the information must be kept secret for other reasons, in particular due to an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Notwithstanding this, there may be an obligation to provide the information if your interests outweigh the interest in secrecy, in particular taking into account the threat of damage. The right to information is also excluded if the data is only stored because it may not be deleted due to legal or statutory retention periods or exclusively serves the purposes of data security or data protection control, provided that the provision of information would require a disproportionately high effort and processing for other purposes is excluded by appropriate technical and organizational measures. If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information from us about the following:
Purposes of processing,
Categories of personal data processed by you,
Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data are disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries,
if possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period,
the existence of a right to rectify or erase or restrict the processing of personal data concerning you or a right to object to such processing,
the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority for data protection,
if the personal data have not been collected from you as the data subject, the available information on the origin of the data,
if applicable, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of automated decision-making,
if applicable, in the case of transfer to recipients in third countries, unless there is a decision by the EU Commission on the adequacy of the level of protection pursuant to Article 45 (3) of the GDPR, information on which appropriate safeguards are provided for the protection of personal data pursuant to Article 46 (2) of the GDPR.
6.2 Correction and completion
If you discover that we have inaccurate personal data about you, you may request that we correct this inaccurate data without delay. If your personal data is incomplete, you may request that it be completed.
6.3 Deletion
You have a right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression, the right to information or for compliance with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, and one of the following reasons applies:
The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed.
The justification basis for the processing was solely your consent, which you have revoked.
You have objected to the processing of your personal data which we have made public.
You have objected to the processing of personal data that we have not made public and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
There is no right to erasure if, in the case of lawful non-automated data processing, erasure is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special nature of the storage and your interest in erasure is low. In this case, the restriction of processing will take the place of deletion.
6.4 Restriction of processing
You may request us to restrict processing if one of the following reasons applies:
You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction may be requested for the period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the data.
The processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of the use of your personal data instead of erasure.
Your personal data is no longer needed by us for the purposes of processing, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
You have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO. Restriction of processing may be requested as long as it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons. Restriction of processing means that the personal data will only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we have the obligation to inform you about it.
6.5 Data portability
You have a right to data portability, provided that the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1), first sentence, letter a) or Article 9(2), letter a) DSGVO) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures. The right to data portability in this case includes the following rights, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons: You may request that we provide you with the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the right to transfer this data to another responsible party without hindrance on our part. To the extent technically feasible, you may request that we transfer your personal data directly to another controller.
6.6 Objection
Insofar as the processing is based on Art. 6 (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 (1) sentence 1 letter f) DSGVO (legitimate interest of the controller or a third party), you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter e) or letter f)DSGVO. After you have exercised your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. You may object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for direct marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling associated with such direct marketing. After exercising this right of objection, we will no longer use the personal data concerned for direct marketing purposes.
You have the option to inform us of your objection informally by telephone, by e-mail, if necessary by fax or to our postal address listed at the beginning of this data protection declaration.
6.7 Revocation of consent
You have the right to revoke a given consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent can be communicated informally by telephone, by e-mail, if necessary by fax or to our postal address. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that was carried out on the basis of the consent until receipt of the revocation. After receipt of the revocation, the data processing, which was based exclusively on your consent, will be discontinued.
6.8 Complaint
If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is unlawful, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority having jurisdiction over the place where you reside or work or over the place of the alleged infringement.
7. status and update of this privacy policy
This Privacy Policy is current as of May 2018. We reserve the right to update the Privacy Policy in due course in order to improve data protection and/or to adapt it to changes in government practice or case law.
