PRIVACY POLICY
Personal data
Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH only collects, processes and uses your personal data with your consent or mandate or order for the purposes agreed with you or if there is another legal basis in accordance with the GDPR; this in compliance with data protection and civil law provisions.
Only personal data that is necessary for the implementation and processing of our legal services or that you have voluntarily made available to Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH is collected.
Personal data is all data that contains individual details about personal or factual circumstances, for example name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, video recordings, photos, voice recordings of people and biometric data such as fingerprints. Sensitive data such as health data or data in connection with criminal proceedings can also be included.
Information and deletion
As a client or generally as a data subject, you have the right at any time – subject to the lawyer’s duty of confidentiality – to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing as well as the right to correction, data transfer, objection, restriction of processing and blocking or deletion of incorrect or impermissibly processed data. If there are any changes to your personal data, we ask you to inform us accordingly.
You have the right to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Your request for information, deletion, correction, objection and/or data transfer, in the latter case, provided that this does not cause disproportionate effort, can be sent to the address of Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH below.
If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by Pilz & If Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH violates applicable data protection law or your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you have the option of complaining to the responsible supervisory authority. In Austria, the Data Protection Authority is responsible for this.
Data security
Your personal data is protected by appropriate organizational and technical precautions. These precautions particularly concern protection against unauthorized, illegal or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation. Despite our efforts to always maintain an appropriately high level of due diligence, it cannot be ruled out that information that you provide to us via the Internet will be viewed and used by other people.
Please note that Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH therefore accepts no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by it and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. hacking of email, website, VoIP).
Use of data
Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH will not process the data made available to it for purposes other than those covered by the mandate contract or by your consent or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the GDPR. The exception to this is use for statistical purposes, provided that the data made available has been anonymized.
Transfer 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. opposing parties, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers we use and to whom we provide data, etc.), courts or authorities. Your data will only be forwarded on the basis of the GDPR, in particular to fulfil your order or based on your prior consent.
Some of the above-mentioned recipients of your personal data are located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that in Austria. However, Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH only transfers your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection, or measures are taken to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection, for which purpose standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC) may be concluded where appropriate.
Notification of data breaches
Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH endeavours to ensure that data breaches are identified at an early stage and, if necessary, reported immediately to you or the responsible supervisory authority, including the respective data categories that are affected.
Storage of data
Pilz & Burghofer Rechtsanwalts GmbH will not store data for longer than is necessary to fulfill its contractual or legal obligations and to defend against any liability claims.
