• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR – your consent, where you have given it;
• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR – performance of a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract with you;

• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR – legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, provided that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override such interests.

2.7 Data Recipients and Third Countries

Within our law firm, only those persons and departments who require your data in order to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or to pursue legitimate interests will have access to it. In addition, we may use external service providers (processors) who process data on our behalf and strictly in accordance with our instructions, such as IT service providers, hosting providers or providers of communication services.

If personal data are transferred to third countries (countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area), this will only take place if an adequate level of data protection is ensured (for example, through an adequacy decision by the European Commission or by using standard contractual clauses) or if a legal basis exists and, where necessary, you have given your consent.

2.8 Data Retention

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by statutory retention periods (in particular under professional, commercial and tax law). After the purpose has been achieved or the retention periods have expired, the data will be deleted or anonymised, unless further processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

2.9 Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a data subject, you have the following rights with regard to your personal data in accordance with the GDPR:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to such personal data and additional information.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and to have incomplete personal data completed.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You have the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning you, subject to the conditions set out in Art. 17 GDPR (the “right to be forgotten”).
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You have the right to obtain restriction of processing where one of the conditions set out in Art. 18 GDPR applies.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller, where technically feasible and subject to the conditions set out in Art. 20 GDPR.
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR. We will then no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal remains unaffected.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the contact details provided above. In order to process your request, we may ask you to provide proof of your identity where necessary.

2.10 Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

If you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement (Art. 77 GDPR). This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

2.11 No Automated Decision-Making or Profiling

We do not use your personal data for automated individual decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
