Information on data processing
Visit our website
When you visit this website, technically necessary access data is processed. This may include, in particular, your IP address, the date and time of access, the page accessed, the amount of data transferred, the referrer URL, the browser used, your operating system, and your internet service provider. This processing serves the purpose of providing the website, ensuring system security, analyzing errors, and preventing misuse. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and stable operation of the website.
Contact form and email contact
When you contact us via contact form or email, we process the information you provide, in particular your name, contact details, message text, the time of your inquiry, and any other information you voluntarily submit. The purpose of this processing is to handle your inquiry, for pre-contractual communication, to initiate a client relationship or contract, and to document the communication. The legal bases for this processing are Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, and – insofar as statutory retention or documentation obligations exist – Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Sensitive information in inquiries
Please only submit special categories of personal data, such as health data, information about your financial situation, information relating to criminal or administrative offenses, or other particularly sensitive information, to the extent necessary for your request. Insofar as such data is required for the examination, processing, or legal classification of your request, processing will be carried out in accordance with the GDPR, in particular Articles 6 and 9(2)(f) GDPR, as well as – where applicable – Article 10 GDPR and other applicable law.
Purposes of processing
We process personal data in particular for the technical provision of this website, for communication with interested parties and clients, for processing inquiries, for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for fulfilling contractual or legal obligations, for documenting legally relevant processes, for defending against and asserting claims, and for ensuring IT security and preventing misuse.
Legal basis
Depending on the specific process, data processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR for consent, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual or contractual measures, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR for legal obligations, and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for legitimate interests. Legitimate interests may include, in particular, secure website provision, efficient communication, documentation, legal defense, and fraud prevention.
Cookies and similar technologies
Where technically necessary cookies or similar technologies are used on this website, they serve to ensure the website's functionality, security, and stability. The legal basis for this is generally Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Cookies that are not technically necessary, as well as analytics, marketing, or tracking technologies, are only used if valid consent has been obtained or another legal basis exists. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
Web analytics with Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to statistically evaluate website usage (including pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate location based on the shortened IP address, device and browser used). With Google Analytics 4, the IP address is shortened and not permanently stored. Its use is based solely on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG. The analytics technologies are only loaded after you have actively consented via our consent banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings. The transfer of data to Google or to the USA cannot be ruled out; this is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and – where applicable – the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Further information on data processing by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.
Recipients and processors
Personal data will only be shared if this is necessary for processing your request, if there is a legal obligation to do so, if you have given your consent, or if there is a legitimate interest. Recipients may include, in particular, technical service providers, hosting providers, IT service providers, communication service providers, professional advisors, public authorities, or other bodies, insofar as this is legally permissible and necessary. Any processors used will be integrated in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
Third-country transfers
Personal data will only be transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area if there is a valid legal basis for doing so, in particular an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR, standard contractual clauses, or a legally provided exception. Where third-party providers are used, the specific data transfer will depend on their involvement and the applicable data protection regulations.
Storage duration
Personal data is stored only as long as necessary for the respective purposes. Server log data is generally stored only for the period required for technical and security reasons and is subsequently deleted or anonymized, unless longer storage is required due to security incidents. Inquiry and communication data is deleted as soon as processing is complete, unless contractual, legal, or evidentiary retention obligations apply.
Provision of data
Providing certain data may be technically necessary to access the website. When contacting us, you will need to provide the information required to process your request. Without this information, your request may not be processed at all or may only be processed to a limited extent. There is no legal obligation to contact us via this website.
Your rights as a data subject
In accordance with the GDPR, you have the right to information about the processing of your personal data, the right to rectification of inaccurate data, the right to erasure, the right to restriction of processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to certain processing activities. If the processing is based on consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your rights, simply send a message to the contact address provided above.
Right of objection and revocation
If the processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you can object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If personal data is processed on the basis of consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the processing up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. For Ireland, the competent authority is the Data Protection Commission, 6 Pembroke Row, Dublin 2, D02 X963, Ireland. You can also contact a data protection supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
Data security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. These measures are selected taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, and the associated risks.
No automated decision
Automated decision-making, including profiling as defined in Article 22 of the GDPR, does not currently take place on this website. Should procedures involving automated decision-making or profiling as defined in the GDPR be implemented in the future, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly.
This privacy policy serves to provide transparent information in accordance with Articles 12 and 13 of the GDPR. It should be reviewed and updated regularly as soon as there are changes to the services used, contact methods, cookies, hosting, analytics tools, or other processing operations.
