II. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
I process personal data of my user only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as my content and services. The processing of personal data of my user takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factualreasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as I obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
In the context of the client relationship or the initiation of a client relationship, your personal data will be processed, which are necessary for the establishment and execution of the client relationship. These are in particular your first and last name, your contact details and other data required for the execution of the mandate, depending on the type and scope of the mandate granted or to be granted. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
If your personal data is transmitted to me by third parties in relation to an existing or future mandate, the data processing serves to carry out the mandate.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which my law firm is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of my law firm or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legalbasis for processing.
3. Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
III. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of dataprocessing
Each time my website is accessed, my system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected: geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g. MAC address and UUID) and other data resulting from your activity on the website.
The data is also stored in the log files of my system. This does notaffect the IP addresses of the user or other data that enable the assignment of the data to a user. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. f GDPR.
2. Purpose ofdata processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
These purposes also constitute my legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
4. Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
IV. Use of cookies
1. Description and scope of data processing
My website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
I use cookies to make mywebsite functional. Some elements of mywebsite require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies within the meaning of § 25 para. 2 TTDSG is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Purpose of dataprocessing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to enable the use of websites for users. Some functions of mywebsite cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For this it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change d.
These purposes also constitute my legitimate interest in the subsequent processing of personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from there to my site. Therefore, as a user, you also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the storage of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for my website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
V. Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure that my content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, I use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts ( https://www.google.com/webfonts ). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache, so they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the content will be displayed in a standard font.
When calling script or font libraries, a connection to the operator of the library is automatically established. Theoretically, it is possible for this operator to collect data. At present, it is not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the respective libraries actually collect data.
Here you can find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
The software is set up in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.
