Data Privacy Policy
The protection of your personal data is important to our law firm, Ebner Aichinger Guggenberger Rechtsanwälte GmbH, FN 305603t, Sterneckstraße 35, 5020 Salzburg. When processing and storing your data, we comply with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR, DSG 2018 and TKG 2003. We would therefore like to inform you about the most important aspects of data processing when using our website:
Visiting the website
When you visit our website, access data (IP address, date and time of access, web browser used, device used, host name of the accessing computer, operating system of the visitor, name of the file accessed and amount of data) is processed and stored for necessary technical reasons (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR – legitimate interest of Ebner Aichinger Guggenberger Rechtsanwälte GmbH in the functioning of the website and defence against unauthorised access to the website). This data will be fully anonymised or comprehensively deleted after 72 hours at the latest. Otherwise, it is generally possible to use this website without providing personal data. Insofar as other personal data is collected on our website (e.g. as part of a contact enquiry, consent cookies and similar technologies), this is done on a voluntary basis by the website visitor (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR – consent).
Our website is hosted by Hetzner Finland Oy, Industriestrasse 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany and the server location is in Finland.
Contacting us
If you send an enquiry to our law firm by e-mail, post or telephone, we will process your personal data required for this purpose (name, address, date of birth if applicable, e-mail address, telephone number, request) for the purpose of processing your enquiry and the associated activities and store it for as long as there is a legitimate reason or other legal basis for doing so due to follow-up questions. The processing and storage takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfilment of a contract or implementation of pre-contractual measures) and/or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests of the controller). This data will not be processed for any other purpose without your consent. After expiry of the storage period, we will delete or comprehensively anonymise your personal data to the extent provided for by law.
Withdrawal of consent
You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing and storage of your data at any time. To do so, please send an e-mail to office@eag-partner.at. After cancellation, your data will be deleted within one month of receipt of the request and will not be processed any further. If you suspect that we are not properly honouring your right of revocation, you have the option of lodging a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
Disclosure of data to third parties
No data will be passed on to third parties.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies make websites more user-friendly and efficient for the user. A cookie is a small text file that is used to store information. When you visit our website, technical cookies are set that are absolutely necessary to operate the website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR – legitimate interest in setting the technically necessary cookies for the operation and proper functioning of the website) or to provide a cookie service that you have expressly requested (Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR – consent). If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
Our website uses local storage items, session storage items and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that enables the storage of data within the browser on your end device. This data usually contains user preferences, such as the “day” or “night” mode of a website, and is retained until you delete the data manually. Session storage is very similar to local storage, whereas the storage period only lasts during the current session, i.e. until the current tab is closed. The session storage items are then deleted from your end device. Cookies are information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your end device in order to be able to identify this end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) and deleted at the end of your visit to a website or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
These objects may also be stored on your device by third-party companies when you visit our website (third-party requests). This enables us as the operator and you as a visitor to this website to utilise certain third-party services that are installed on this website. Examples of this include the processing of payment services or the display of videos.
These mechanisms can be used in a variety of ways. They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping basket functions, increase the security and convenience of website use and carry out analyses of visitor flows and behaviour. Depending on the individual functions, these must be categorised under data protection law. If they are necessary for the operation of the website and intended to provide certain functions (shopping basket function) or serve to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitor behaviour), they are used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of local storage items, session storage items and cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services. In all other cases, local storage items, session storage items and cookies are only stored with your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
If local storage items, session storage or cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately in this data protection notice. Your required consent will be requested and can be revoked at any time.
Presentation optimisation: Our website uses tools that serve to optimise the presentation of our website. Among other things, these tools help us to display the website in other languages or in a more accessible way. Processing only takes place if you consent to this data processing (via our consent banner on the website). The legal basis for this processing is consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Without your consent, data will not be processed in the manner described above. If you withdraw your consent (e.g. via the consent banner or other options provided on this website), we will terminate this data processing. This does not affect the legality of the processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal.
WPML: We use the WPML service on our website. The provider of this service is OnTheGoSystems Ltd, 22/F 3 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, China. As this service is hosted locally on the web server, no data is transferred to third parties. We base this processing on a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). This application is required to ensure the unrestricted functionality of the website. This is a language tool that is considered essential.
Rights of data recipients
You can send an informal request for access to your data (Art 15 GDPR), a request for rectification of your data (Art 16 GDPR), erasure of your data (Art 17 GDPR), data portability (Art 20 GDPR), restriction of data processing (Art 18 GDPR) or your right to object (Art 21 GDPR) to office@eag-partner.at at any time. Our law firm will process your request within one month and inform you of the measures taken. We ask for your understanding that due to the complexity of individual applications or the large number of applications received, the one-month period may be exceeded when processing your application; your application will be fully processed within a further two months after expiry of the one-month period and you will be informed of the measures taken after completion of the processing process. In principle, applications are free of charge. However, our law firm reserves the right not to process excessive or obviously unfounded applications or to process them only for a fee of € 120.00 per hour of work required. Should data be necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the fulfilment of contractual obligations, the request for deletion can only be processed after the mandatory reasons for storage no longer apply. In cases of doubt, Ebner Aichinger Guggenberger Rechtsanwälte GmbH reserves the right to request proof of identity for security reasons.
Responsible Party within the meaning of the GDPR
Ebner Aichinger Guggenberger Rechtsanwälte GmbH is the responsible party within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and data protection enquiries or requests can be sent at any time by post to Ebner Aichinger Guggenberger Rechtsanwälte GmbH, Sterneckstraße 35, 5020 Salzburg or by email to office@eag-partner.at.
Possibility to complain
