Data Protection Declaration

1. General information

This data protection declaration informs the user of the website www.lawfirm.at (hereinafter the “website”) and other parties concerned within the meaning of the GDPR, particularly also clients, about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the law firm GPK Pegger Kofler & Partner Rechtsanwälte GmbH & Co KG, Maria-Theresien-Str. 24, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria.

Personal data is all data that contains details of personal or factual circumstances, for example name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, video recordings, photos, or voice recordings of individuals, as well as biometric data such as fingerprints. It may also include sensitive data, such as health data or data relating to criminal proceedings.

2. Your Rights

Provided that the lawfulness for concrete data processing is based on the data subject’s consent, this consent may at any time be (also partially) revoked by sending an e-mail to office@lawfirm.at or by writing to the contact address (point 13) indicated below.

Furthermore, each data subject has the right to obtain information on personal data concerning him, the right to data portability, the right to have personal data rectified or deleted as well as the right to have the processing of his personal data restricted or to object to such processing, to the extent that this is not in conflict with the lawyer’s professional secrecy obligation. The user may exercise these rights by emailing to office@lawfirm.at or by writing to the contact address (point 13) indicated below, to the extent that this is not in conflict with the lawyer’s professional secrecy obligation.

Finally, the user has the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian data protection authority (Wickenburggasse 8, 1080 Wien, dsb@dsb.gv.at,www.dsb.gv.at).
Notwithstanding the deletion details indicated below in the individual data processing, the deletion is omitted insofar as the personal data to be deleted are used for other lawful processing (e.g. self-promotion) pursuant to this data protection declaration.

3. Data Security

Your personal data is protected by respective organisational and technical measures. These measures concern in particular the protection against unauthorised, illegal or also random access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.

Notwithstanding efforts taken to comply with an at all times reasonably high level of due diligence, it cannot be ruled out that information made available by you to us via the Internet or electronically is seen and used by other persons.

Please note that we therefore do not assume liability in any way for the disclosure of information due to errors during data transfer and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. a hacker attack on the e-mail account or, respectively, telephone) not caused by us.

4. Use of Data

Only personal data which is necessary for executing and processing our lawyers’ services or other business transactions or data which has been provided voluntarily by you to us will be collected.

Personal data will only be processed and transmitted by us in a lawful manner – in particular for the fulfilment of contractual obligations, on the basis of predominant legitimate interests, on the basis of a public interest or a legal obligation or on the basis of consent.

We will thus process the data provided to us for no other purposes than the purposes covered by the mandate contract, other contracts or by your consent or by any other provision in accordance with the GDPR (e.g. Self-promotion in the sense of point 6). The use for statistical purposes, provided that the data made available has been anonymized, shall be excluded therefrom.

5. Transfer of Data to Third Parties

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

Furthermore, we would like to inform you that within the scope of our legal representation and support as lawyers, we regularly receive factual and case-related information concerning you from third parties.

Some of the recipients of your personal data mentioned above are located outside your country or process your data there. It may be the case that the data protection level in other countries does not correspond to the one practised in Austria. However, we only transfer your personal data to such countries if either the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection or if we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC) or if another provision granting permission is given in the sense of Art 44 ff GDPR (e.g. your informed consent).

6. Reporting of Data Leaks

We take care to ensure that data leaks are detected at an early stage and, where applicable, reported immediately to you or, respectively, to the respective regulatory authority taking into account the respective data categories concerned.

7. Storage of Data

We will not retain data for longer than is necessary to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations and to ward off any liability claims, unless the data is also processed for other legitimate purposes (e.g. self-promotion as defined in point 9) going beyond that. In the latter case, the data will be deleted once the purpose no longer applies.

8. Server Log Files

In order to optimise this website in terms of system performance, user-friendliness and provision of useful information about our services, the provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes your Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser and language setting, operating system, referrer URL, your Internet service provider and date/time.

These data are not merged with other personal data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently check these data if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.
By visiting this website, the user gives his conclusive consent for the short-term storage of the IP address of the end device pursuant to art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR. This is necessary for the provision of the contents of the website. After the termination of the use of the Website, the IP address of the user will be deleted.

We use the aforementioned data for statistical purposes only.
