2. Data Processed for the Provision of the Website

a. What data is processed and for what purpose?

Each time content on the website is accessed, data that may allow identification is temporarily stored. The following data may be collected:

  • Date and time of access
  • IP address
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Website from which the website was accessed
  • Websites accessed via the website
  • Pages visited on our website
  • Message whether the retrieval was successful
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • Operating system

The temporary storage of data is necessary for the process of a website visit to enable the delivery of the website. No further storage in log files takes place. This purpose also constitutes our legitimate interest in data processing.

b. On what legal basis is this data processed?

The data is processed based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

c. Are there other recipients of the personal data besides the controller?

The website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM - Neue Medien Münnich, Inh. René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf (hereinafter referred to as the host). The host receives the above-mentioned data as a processor. The host's privacy information can be found at https://all-inkl.com/datenschutzinformationen/. A data processing agreement (DPA) has been concluded between us and the host for the use of the servers to display this law firm website.

d. How long will the data be stored?

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. In the case of website provision, this is when the respective session ends. No logs (log files) are generated, and no statistics (access logs) are created (even in anonymized form). We are interested in you as a person, not in when and how you visit our law firm website.

3. Data Subject Rights

a. Right to Information

You may request information about your personal data that we process under Article 15 GDPR.

b. Right to Object

You have the right to object for special reasons (see point II).

c. Right to Rectification

If the information concerning you is inaccurate, you may request a correction under Article 16 GDPR. If your data is incomplete, you may request a completion.

d. Right to Deletion

You may request the deletion of your personal data under Article 17 GDPR.

e. Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under Article 18 GDPR.

f. Right to Complain

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority of your choice under Article 77(1) GDPR. This includes the supervisory authority responsible for the controller: The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia, https://www.ldi.nrw.de/kontakt/ihre-beschwerde.

g. Right to Data Portability

In the event that the conditions of Article 20(1) GDPR are met, you have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in performance of a contract in an automated manner, or to have it transferred to a third party. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are essential for the operation of the website. They are therefore not based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR but are justified under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Therefore, the requirements of Article 20(1) GDPR are not met in this regard.

II. Right to Object under Article 21(1) GDPR

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The controller will then no longer process the personal data unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are essential for the operation of the website.
