We process this data for the following purposes:

The processing of your personal data in the context of contacting us via Meetergo or by e-mail is based on the performance of (pre-)contractual measures in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The data will be processed for the duration of the initiation of the client relationship. If the client relationship is concluded, your personal data will be stored for a period of 30 years even after the end of the client relationship due to the applicable statutory provisions and retention obligations (§ 1489 of the Austrian Civil Code).

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes, it may be necessary to disclose your data to third party recipients such as email-, website-, software- and cloud-providers or IT-service-providers through transfer, distribution or any other form of providing. We only transfer your data to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose; this data will not be passed on to any other third parties for their own purposes without your consent.

If you book an appointment via our Meetergo booking tool, your data will be transferred to the provider of our booking tool, meetergo GmbH, Hauptstraße 44, 40789 Monheim am Rhein, GERMANY. The transferred data includes your IP address, a referrer URL and the time of access. This data can be used to determine who has made an appointment request. We process this data on the basis of a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR so that appointment requests can be processed effectively. In addition, the data provided is transferred to the following recipients:

If you choose not to provide the personal information we request, we may not be able to provide you with the information or services you have requested or otherwise fulfill the purpose for which we have requested the personal information.

3. Clients

As a client, you can rest confident that your personal data will be handled safely and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. Our law firm is also obliged under § 9 RAO to treat all personal data as confidential and to process it only in the context of the legal mandate. This includes all your personal data that is required in the course of consultation and representation in order to process your legal concerns effectively. If you are our client, you have already received detailed information on the processing of your personal data in the phase prior to the conclusion of the contract.

4. Opposing parties, witnesses and other parties involved in our clients’ matters

If you are an opposing party to one of our clients or are involved in proceedings that we are handling (e.g. as a witness or person providing information), we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest. The contract concluded with our client and the fulfillment of the same constitute the legitimate interest in processing this data. We would have to inform you in accordance with Art. 14 GDPR which categories of your personal data we process. However, as lawyers, we are subject to a professional duty of confidentiality pursuant to § 9 RAO and are therefore exempt from this obligation pursuant to Art 14 (5) lit d GDPR.
