Collection of general data and information

Nature and scope of data processing

When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

— IP address of the requesting computer,

— date and time of access,

— name and URL of the file accessed,

— website from which access is made (referrer URL),

— browser used and, where applicable, your computer’s operating system, as well as the name of your internet service provider.

We process the data mentioned for the following purposes:

— to ensure the website connects smoothly,

— to ensure a user-friendly experience on our website,

— to assess system security and stability, and

— for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes of data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your identity. Furthermore, we use cookies when you visit our website.

Purpose and legal basis

By law, the processing of personal data is, in principle, prohibited and is permitted only if it falls within one of the following grounds for lawfulness:

— Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) of the GDPR (‘Consent’): Where the data subject has freely, in an informed manner and unambiguously indicated, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her for one or more specific purposes;

— Article 6(1), first sentence, point (b) of the GDPR: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request;

— Article 6(1), first sentence, point (c) of the GDPR: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (e.g. a statutory retention obligation)

— Article 6(1), first sentence, point (d) of the GDPR: Where processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

— Article 6(1), first sentence, point (e) of the GDPR: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; or

— Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR (‘Legitimate interests’): Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate (in particular legal or commercial) interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or rights of the data subject (in particular where the data subject is a minor).

Furthermore, the storage of information on your terminal equipment as the end user, as well as access to information already stored on your terminal equipment, takes place exclusively following the granting of consent in accordance with Section 25(1) of the TDDDG, provided that such consent is not dispensable under Section 25(2) of the TDDDG.

Processing may also be based on several legal grounds.

Data collection on our website

Cookies

We use cookies on our website to ensure an optimal user experience. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They serve solely to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the devices you use to visit our website.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, this may affect the functionality of this website. Please clear your browser history (cache, storage) if you wish to ensure that cookies that have already been set are no longer stored.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure that its services are provided in a technically fault-free and optimised manner. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. Consequently, the companies entrusted by us with web hosting also have access to your data. These ‘data processors’ are subject to our instructions regarding data protection; this is governed by a data processing agreement. No other parties are granted access to the data without your consent.

The web server access logs record which pages were accessed and at what time. They contain the following data: IP address, directory protection user, date, time, pages accessed, operating system used, browser type and version, logs, status code, data volume, referrer, user agent, hostname accessed. IP addresses are stored in anonymised form; for example, 127.0.0.1 becomes 127.0.0.. IPv6 addresses are also anonymised. The anonymised IP addresses are retained for 60 days. Information regarding the directory protection user employed is anonymised after one day.

Error logs, which record failed page requests, are deleted after seven days. In addition to the error messages, these logs contain the IP address of the user accessing the site and, depending on the error, the web page accessed.

Access via FTP is logged with anonymised details of the username and IP address and retained for 60 days.

Mail logs for emails sent from the web environment are anonymised after one day and then retained for 60 days. During anonymisation, all data relating to the sender, recipient, etc. is removed. Only the data regarding the time of dispatch and information on how the email was processed (queue ID or ‘not sent’) is retained.

Mail logs for emails sent via our mail servers are deleted after four weeks. The longer retention period is necessary to ensure the functionality of the mail services and to combat spam. It is not possible to specify an individual retention period.

The server log files are not merged with other data sources.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form – including the contact details you enter there – will be stored by us for three months for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. In the event of withdrawal, we will delete the data collected via the contact form immediately, provided that no mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – prevent us from doing so. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Your Rights

You have the right at any time to

— request information, in accordance with Article 15 of the GDPR, about the personal data concerning you that is being processed. In particular, you may request information regarding the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom data has been or will be disclosed, the intended period of storage, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of the data where it was not collected by the controller, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information regarding its details;

— in accordance with Article 16 of the GDPR, to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data or the completion of incomplete personal data held by the controller;

— in accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR, to request the erasure of the stored personal data, unless processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;

— in accordance with Article 18 of the GDPR, to request the restriction of the processing of personal data, provided that you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose its erasure, and the controller no longer requires the data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR;

— in accordance with Article 20 of the GDPR, to receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request that it be transferred to another controller;

— in accordance with Article 7(3) of the GDPR, to withdraw the consent you gave at any time (including before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before 25 May 2018) — that is, your voluntary, informed and unambiguous expression of will, made clear through a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action, that you consent to the processing of the personal data in question for one or more specific purposes — at any time, should you have given such consent. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing that was based on this consent in future, and

— to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 of the GDPR. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority for your usual place of residence, your place of work or our registered office for this purpose.

Right to object

Where your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR, you have the right, in accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR, to object to the processing of your personal data, provided there are grounds arising from your particular situation or the objection relates to direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which we will honour without you needing to specify a particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal or right to object, simply send an email to info@wagnerrechtsanwaelte.de

Data security

When you visit our website, we use the widely adopted SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we will use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether a particular page on our website is being transmitted securely by the closed key or padlock symbol displayed in the status bar at the bottom of your browser.

Updates and changes to the privacy policy

Our privacy policy may be updated from time to time to ensure it complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services, for example, when new services are introduced. The updated privacy policy will then automatically apply to your next visit.
