We take the privacy of your personal data very seriously. That’s why we treat your personal data confidentially and in keeping with the relevant laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Our website can generally be used without providing any personal data. Insofar as personal data (for example, name, email address, ...) is collected on our pages, this data is provided voluntarily. This data is not shared with any third party without your express permission.

We would point out that, where data is transmitted over the Internet (e.g. by email), it may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against third-party access is not possible.

Transferring personal data to third countries

We rely upon independent Oliver Scheib & Partner associates when addressing and answering your requests and questions who may be located outside the EU or the European Economic Area in so-called "third countries." Should the transfer of personal data to Oliver Scheib & Partner associates in third countries be necessary, the data subject will be so informed, informed about the existing risks of such data transfers and a written consent will be obtained (point (a) of Article 49(1)). Personal data will only be transferred to third countries for the fulfillment of contracts, contractual or pre-contractual obligations and/or measures (point (b) of Article 49(1)), any necessary transfers of personal data to third countries will only be undertaken for the fulfillment or conclusion of a contract on your part with another natural or legal person (point (c) of Article 49(1), with your written consent.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make the site more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored in your browser.

Most of the cookies used are known as "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow your browser to be recognized when you visit our website again.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the placement of cookies and to allow cookies only in an individual case, to reject cookies in certain cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted if cookies are disabled.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in ‘server log files’, which your browser transmits automatically to us. This data includes: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of server request.

This data cannot be associated with any individual and is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently review this data if we have specific reason to suspect unlawful use.

This data is collected on the basis of point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The website provider and the website operator have a legitimate interest in the website being displayed without technical error and in its optimization – server log files are collected for this purpose.

Contact form

If you send inquiries to us using the contact form, the information you provide on the form including your contact details will be stored by us for the purpose of dealing with your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

Data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, you can simply send us a message by email. If you withdraw your consent, this has no effect on the lawfulness of data processing operations that took place before your withdrawal.

We keep the data you entered on the contact form until you ask for it to be deleted, withdraw your consent to it being saved or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your inquiry has been resolved). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries by email, phone or fax

If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your inquiry, including any personal data resulting therefrom (name, inquiry, ...) will be stored and processed by us for the purposes of dealing with your inquiry. We will not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR, provided your inquiry is in relation to the performance of a contract or is necessary to perform measures prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR) because we have a legitimate interest in effectively dealing with inquiries we receive.

We keep the data you send to us in the contact form until you ask for it to be deleted, withdraw your consent to it being saved or the purpose for storing the data ceases to apply (e.g. once your inquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

SSL encryption

For reasons of security and to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as any inquiries that you send to us in our capacity as website operator, this website uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of your browser from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser address line.

When SSL encryption is active, data that you send to us cannot be accessed by third parties.

Opt-out from advertising emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in mandatory legal notices for unsolicited advertising and promotional materials. In our capacity as operator of this website, we expressly reserve the right to take legal steps in the event that we are sent advertising information, for example, spam emails, without a corresponding request to receive such materials.

Amendments

Data privacy and the underlying legislation on which it is based are constantly changing and we have to adapt our company work processes, the information we provide, data security and other data privacy-related components to these changes. All significant changes concerning data privacy will be published here as and when needed.
