Collection and storage of personal data and the type and purpose of their use when you visit our website

At this point, we would like to draw your attention to the following GDPR-relevant aspects when you visit our site:

When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our web server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. In principle, the following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,
  • date and time of access,
  • name and URL of the retrieved file,
  • website from which access is made (referrer URL),
  • browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

The above data is processed by us for the following purposes:

  • ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
  • ensuring convenient use of our website,
  • evaluation of system security and stability, and
  • for further administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing when you visit our website is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data may therefore be processed if this is necessary to protect legitimate interests and unless the interests of the person concerned — in this case yours — prevail. Our legitimate interest within the meaning of the above provision results from the purposes listed above for data collection. This interest prevails as part of a balancing of interests with regard to processing for the purposes mentioned above.

It should also be mentioned at this stage that the data collected when you visit our website is not used for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you personally.

We use cookies to operate the website. These are files that your browser stores on your device when you visit our website. Cookies are generally used, for example, to store data about your visit and to recognize it, as well as to statistically record, improve and ensure the operation of our website.

The legal basis for this is Section 6 (1) lit. f DSG-VO. Temporary cookies are deleted after you leave the website. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely disabling cookies may mean that you cannot use all features of our website.

Collection and storage of personal data and the type and purpose of their use when using our contact form

If you have any questions — particularly regarding our areas of expertise — we offer you the opportunity to contact us using a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide your name and a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and to be able to answer it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.

By voluntarily submitting the data listed above, consent is also given to their processing for the purposes also set out above. The consent given allows the processing of the transmitted personal data on the basis of the requirements in Article 6 (1) (1) (a) of the GDPR. The personal data collected by us for using the contact form will be automatically deleted after your request has been completed, unless there is a legal obligation to store it (see also section 5).

Collection and storage of personal data as well as type and purpose and their use in the event of our mandate

When mandated, we collect the following information:

  • title, first name, last name,
  • valid email address,
  • address,
  • Telephone number (landline and/or mobile)
  • Information that is necessary to assert and defend your rights within the framework of the mandate (in the employment law employee mandate, further — in particular the following — data is collected: date of birth, maintenance obligations, employer, length of service, amount and types of remuneration and personal characteristics that may give rise to special protection against dismissal, such as pregnancy, parental leave, care leave, severe disability, works council activity, etc.).

This data is collected for the following purposes

  • to be able to identify you as our client;
  • to be able to provide you with appropriate legal advice and representation;
  • to correspond with you;
  • for invoicing;
  • to process any liability claims that may exist and to assert any claims.

Data processing is carried out at your request and is required in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the stated purposes for the appropriate processing of the mandate and for the mutual fulfilment of obligations under the mandate contract.

Retention of data

Your personal data will be stored as long as it is necessary to manage and process the mandate and to fulfill our post-contractual obligations. Further storage takes place within the framework of legal obligations arising primarily from professional law, commercial or tax law. In this respect, storage is generally for 6 to 10 years. As a precautionary measure, reference must be made to the storage obligations under Section 50 Paragraph 1 BRAO, Section 257 Paragraph 4 HGB and Section 147 Paragraph 3 AO.

Sharing data

We would like to point out that we will also forward your data to third parties (e.g. contract processors, tax authorities) insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the mandate agreement or we are otherwise legally obliged to do so. All service providers who receive your personal data have previously committed themselves, as part of an order processing agreement, to comply with the level of data protection set by the GDPR.

In principle, your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if there is legal permission in accordance with Article 6 GDPR. This can be the case in particular when:

  • you have given your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
  • the transfer is necessary in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation to transfer the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and
  • This is legally permitted and is required in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR to process contractual relationships with you.

  • to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you refuse to delete it
