General information
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection law and this Privacy Policy.
As a rule, our website can be used without providing personal data. Where personal data is collected on our pages, it is provided voluntarily where possible.
Disclosure of data to third parties
We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those stated below. Data is disclosed only where you have expressly consented, where this is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, where a legal obligation applies, or where disclosure is necessary to perform a contract with you and is permitted by law.
Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example by email, may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files transmitted by your browser. This may include in particular:
- IP address or hostname of the accessing device,
- browser type and version,
- operating system used,
- referrer URL, and
- time of the server request.
As a rule, this data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review the data retrospectively where there are specific indications of unlawful use.
Contacting us
If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the data you provide to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions. Depending on the nature of the enquiry, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR; where consent is given, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Please send confidential or deadline-sensitive documents only after prior consultation. Contacting us alone does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
Links to third-party websites
Our website contains links to third-party websites. When you follow such a link, you leave our website. The relevant provider’s privacy information applies to its processing of personal data.
Google Maps
The contact page provides an external route link and an interactive Google Maps map. The interactive map is loaded only after you actively select it. Our website uses the “Google Maps” component supplied by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Each time the Google Maps component is accessed, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when displaying the page into which Google Maps is integrated. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed but expires after a certain period unless you delete it manually beforehand. If you do not agree to this processing, you can disable Google Maps and thereby prevent data from being transmitted to Google. To do so, you must disable JavaScript in your browser. Please note that in this case you may be unable to use Google Maps, or may be able to use it only to a limited extent. Use of Google Maps and information obtained through Google Maps is subject to Google’s Terms of Service (http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html) and the additional Google Maps Terms (https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html).
The LinkedIn link in the footer opens the firm’s profile only after you actively select it. LinkedIn’s privacy policy then applies.
Other websites
Our website contains links to websites operated by other providers. In such cases, you will be redirected from our website to the other provider’s website, which can be recognised, among other things, by the change in URL. We cannot accept responsibility for the confidential handling of your data because we have no control over these companies’ compliance with data protection requirements. Please consult their websites directly for information on how they handle your personal data.
Your rights
Subject to the statutory requirements, you have in particular the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact details published to satisfy legal notice requirements for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby rejected. The website operators reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.
