Sensitive data such as health data or data in connection with criminal proceedings may also be included.

Your request for information, deletion, correction, objection and/or data transfer, in the latter case, provided that this does not cause a disproportionate effort, can be sent to our address given in point 11 of this declaration.

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates the applicable data protection law or your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you have the option of complaining to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the data protection authority is responsible for this.

  1. Data security

Your personal data is protected by taking appropriate organisational and technical precautions. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorised, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.

Notwithstanding our endeavours to always maintain an appropriately high level of due diligence, it cannot be ruled out that information that you disclose to us via the Internet may be viewed and used by other persons.

Please note that we therefore accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. hacking of email account or telephone, interception of faxes).

  1. Use of the data

We will not process the data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the mandate agreement or by your consent or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the GDPR. An exception to this is the use for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided has been anonymised.

  1. Transmission of data to third parties

In order to fulfil your order, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g. counterparties, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers that we use and to whom we make data available etc.), courts or authorities. Your data will only be forwarded based on the GDPR, in particular to fulfil your order or on the basis of your prior consent.

Furthermore, we would like to inform you that in the course of our legal representation and assistance, we regularly obtain factual and case-related information from you from third parties.

Some of the recipients of your personal data mentioned above are located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as in Austria. However, we only transfer your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection or we take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection, for which we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).

  1. Communication of data breaches

We endeavour to ensure that data breaches are detected at an early stage and, if necessary, reported immediately to you or the competent supervisory authority, considering the respective data categories affected.
