Session-Cookies:

These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser's cookie file until you leave our website and are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.

Dauerhafte Cookies:

To improve the user experience, these cookies remain stored on your terminal device and allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

Use of data

We will not process the data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the mandate agreement or by your consent or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). This excludes the use for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided has been anonymised.

Transfer of data to third parties

In order to fulfil your assignment, it may be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g., opposing parties, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers, etc.), courts or authorities. Your data will only be forwarded on the basis of the GDPR, in particular for the fulfilment of your order or on the basis of your prior consent. Please note that in the course of our legal representation and support, factual and case-related information will also regularly be obtained from you by third parties. Some of the recipients of your personal data mentioned above are located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as in Austria. However, we only transfer your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection.

Data security

We protect your data by taking appropriate organisational and technical precautions. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorised, illegal or even accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.

Notwithstanding our efforts to maintain a reasonably high standard of due diligence at all times, it cannot be ruled out that information you disclose to us via the Internet may be viewed and used by other persons.

Please note that we therefore accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g., hacking attack on email account or telephone, interception of faxes).

Retention of your data

Your data will only be retained for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described and our contractual and legal obligations and to defend against any liability claims. If your data is no longer required, we delete it or make it anonymous so that you can no longer be identified. Depending on the purpose of processing, a different retention period may be necessary.

Data breaches

We strive to ensure that data mishaps are identified at an early stage and reported immediately to you or the relevant supervisory authority, including the relevant categories of data involved.

Automated decision making and profiling

We do not process your personal data for the purposes of automated decision making, including profiling.
