Data Protection Officer

You can contact our data protection officer by e-mail at [email protected] or at our postal address with the addition "to the data protection officer".

Processing of your data in the context of the legal services we provide

If you are our client or business partner or if you submit an enquiry to us because you are interested in the legal services we offer, the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your data is based on the contractual or pre-contractual relationship that exists between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all data that is or has been provided by you for the purpose of using the contractual or pre-contractual services and that is required to process your inquiry or the contract concluded between us. Unless otherwise stated in the further information in this privacy policy, the processing of your data is limited to the data that is necessary and expedient to answer your inquiries and/or to fulfill the contract concluded between you and us, to protect our rights and to fulfill legal obligations. We will inform you which data is required for this before or during data collection. If it is necessary to fulfill the contract concluded between us, to protect your vital interests or due to legal provisions, we will transfer your data to third parties, such as (judicial) authorities, accounting offices and tax consultants, in compliance with our professional confidentiality requirements. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

Data concerned:

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)
  • Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices)
  • Contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number, postal address)
  • Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, contract duration)

Persons concerned: clients, interested parties, business and contractual partners

Processing purpose: Processing of contractual services, communication and responding to contact requests, office and organizational procedures

Legal basis: Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

Deletion: See the point: "When do we delete your data?". We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that we are obliged to retain files for a period of six years in accordance with Section 50 BRAO.

Your rights under the GDPR

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which you can assert at any time with the controller named in section 1 of this privacy policy:

  • Right to information: You have the right to request information from us as to whether and which of your data we process.
  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.
  • Right to restriction: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we only process your data to a limited extent.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or another controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters is responsible.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that there are compelling legitimate grounds for data processing that outweigh your interests and rights.

Notwithstanding the above, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time.

Please send your objection to the contact address of the controller given above.

When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that - unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices in this privacy policy - we will delete your data,

  • if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, e.g.

    • after termination of the contractual or membership relationship between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or
    • after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data ceases to apply (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR),
  • if you exercise your right of withdrawal and there is no other legal basis for the processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR,
  • if you exercise your right to object and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for erasure.

If, however, we still need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting documents) or the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will only delete (that part of) your data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we restrict the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).

  • for storing and editing documents
  • for sending documents by email or exchanging files,
  • for our calendar appointment management,
