Your data are processed under the legal basis applicable in each case, in particular:

– Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where we have obtained your consent;
– Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to perform a contract or take pre-contractual steps within a client relationship;

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information transmitted by your browser in server log files. This includes browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, host name of the accessing device, time of the server request and IP address.

These data are not combined with other data sources. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the technically reliable presentation of our website.

This website uses cookies only where they are required for electronic communications or to provide functions requested by you. They are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically reliable and optimised provision of its services.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, permit them only in individual cases, exclude them in certain cases or generally, and delete them automatically when the browser closes. Disabling cookies may restrict this website’s functionality.

If you contact us through the contact form, by email or by telephone, we store the information you provide – including your name, email address, telephone number and the content of your enquiry – in order to process your enquiry and communicate with you.

Your details are used solely to process your enquiry and respond to follow-up questions and are not disclosed to third parties without your consent. For client matters, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; otherwise, it is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

As lawyers, we are bound by professional secrecy under Section 2(2) BRAO in conjunction with Section 203 of the German Criminal Code. Written communications, attachments and other documents are treated confidentially; advice and results may be used or disclosed only with your consent.

This website integrates fonts supplied by Google Fonts. When you access the website, your browser loads these fonts from Google servers and transmits your IP address to Google. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is a consistent and appealing presentation of the website.

For security and to protect confidential content during transmission, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection is indicated by “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser. When encryption is active, data sent to us cannot be read by third parties.

We process your personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purposes or as required by law. Client data are subject to the retention duties under Section 50 BRAO – six years unless different statutory or contractual periods apply. The data are then deleted unless other legal obligations require retention.

Within the applicable legal framework, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients and the purpose of processing and, where applicable, to request correction, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability.

Where data are processed under Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by an informal email. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
