We, WERDNIK KUSTERNIGG Rechtsanwälte GmbH, Viktringer Ring 5/3, 9020 Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, FN 385271 a, Landesgericht Klagenfurt, process personal data as controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC) and the Data Protection Act.

This privacy policy serves the purpose of informing data subjects in connection with data processing.

This information applies in particular to clients, other contractual partners (e.g. suppliers and business partners including their contact persons), other interested parties and third parties as well as any applicants.

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time. We will always publish the current version on our website.

We, WERDNIK KUSTERNIGG Rechtsanwälte GmbH, collect, process, and use your personal data on the basis of the contractual relationship (mandate or other conclusion of contract) for the purposes agreed with you or if there is another legal basis in accordance with the GDPR; this is done in compliance with the provisions of data protection and civil law.

We only collect personal data that is necessary for the performance and processing of our legal services or contractual services or that you have voluntarily provided to us. If you do not provide us with certain personal data that is absolutely necessary for the performance and processing of our legal services, we may not be able to provide our legal services and the contractual relationship (client relationship) must be terminated or may be rejected before a contractual relationship (client relationship) is established.

Personal data is all data that contains individual details about personal or factual circumstances, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, national insurance 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, may also be included.

As a data subject, you have the right to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing as well as a right to rectification, data transfer, objection, restriction of processing and blocking or erasure of incorrect or inadmissibly processed data at any time, subject to compliance with the lawyer’s duty of confidentiality.

If there are any changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly.

You have the right to withdraw 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 a disproportionate effort, can be sent to the address of the law firm stated in point 9 of this declaration

As the data subject, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on our legitimate interest. Please let us know your reasons for doing so.

Furthermore, as a data subject, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if it is processed for direct marketing purposes.

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 (Austrian Data Protection Authority, Wickenburggasse 8, 1080 Vienna, telephone: +43 1 52 152-0, e-mail: dsb@dsb.gv.at).

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 maintain an appropriately high level of due diligence at all times, 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 e-mail accounts or telephones, interception of faxes).

We will not process the data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the contractual relationship (client relationship or other contract) or by your consent or by your application or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the GDPR. Excluded from this is the use for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided has been anonymised. If you provide us with and transmit data from third parties (family members, other relatives, employees or other third parties), we assume that you are authorised to do so.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data of clients is (i) the processing for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or (ii) for the fulfilment of legal (including professional) obligations

The legal basis for the processing of personal data of other contractual partners is (i) the processing for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or (ii) for the fulfilment of legal obligations.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data of other interested parties and third parties is (i) the processing for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or (ii) for the fulfilment of legal obligations.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data of applicants is (i) processing for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or (ii) for the fulfilment of legal obligations (including professional obligations) or (iii) for the protection of our legitimate interest, which consists in the defence and assertion of any legal claims.

In order to fulfil your order, as part of a contractual relationship or as part of an application, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g., counterparties, substitutes, insurance companies, banks, service providers that we use and to whom we provide data, such as IT service providers, translators, suppliers, etc.), courts or authorities. Your data will only be forwarded on the basis of the GDPR, in particular, to fulfil your mandate or on the basis of your prior consent or another contractual relationship or as part of an application.

We would also like to inform you that in the course of our legal representation and support, we regularly obtain factual and case-related information from you from third parties (e.g., public registers, websites).

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 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).

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, taking into account the respective data categories affected.

We will not store data for longer than is necessary to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations and to defend against and assert any legal claims.

In order to optimise this website in terms of system performance, user-friendliness and the provision of useful information about our services, the website provider 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.

This data is not merged with personal data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
