DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT
1. PERSONAL DATA
We, Prunbauer Rechtsanwälte, will collect, process and use your personal data only with your consent and/or instruction or appointment for the purposes agreed with you or where there is another legal basis under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR"); this will be done in compliance with data protection and civil law provisions.
We only collect personal data that is necessary to provide and perform our services as your attorney or that you voluntarily provide to us.
Personal data is any data including details about personal or factual circumstances, such as, for example, name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, video recordings, photographs, voice recordings of individuals, and biometric data, such as fingerprints. Personal data may also include sensitive data, such as health data or data relating to criminal proceedings.
2. ACCESS AND ERASURE
In compliance with our professional duty of confidentiality, you, as our client, or as a data subject in general, have the right to access to your stored personal data, its source and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing as well as the right to rectification, data portability, objection, restriction of processing and blocking or erasure of inaccurate or unlawfully processed data at any time.
In the event of any changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly.
You may withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Your request for access, erasure, rectification, objection and/or data portability (in the latter case: unless it involves a disproportionate effort) may be sent to this law firm's address stated in Clause 10 of this statement.
If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us infringes applicable data protection law or that your rights under data protection law have been infringed in any other way, you may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. In Austria, the competent authority is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde).
3. DATA SECURITY
Your personal data is protected by appropriate technical and organizational measures. These measures include, but are not limited to, protection against unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and alteration.
Notwithstanding our efforts to maintain a high standard of care at all times, there can be no assurance that information you have provide to us via the internet will not be accessed and used by other persons.
Please note that we therefore accept no liability for any disclosure of information due to errors in data transfers not caused by us and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. hacking of email accounts or telephone, interception of fax messages).
4. USE OF DATA
We will not use any data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the mandate agreement or your consent or otherwise by a provision in compliance with the GDPR. This does not apply to the use of data for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided has been anonymized.
5. TRANSFER OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES
In order to fulfil your instructions, it may be necessary for us to transfer your data to third parties (e.g. counterparties, agents, insurance companies, service providers whom we engage and to whom we provide data, etc.), courts or public authorities. Your data will only be transferred exclusively on the basis of the GDPR, in particular to fulfil your instructions and/or on the basis of your prior consent.
We would also like to inform you that as part of our legal representation and assistance, factual and case-related information about you may be obtained from third parties.
Some of the recipients of your personal data listed above are located outside of your country or process your personal data outside of your country. The data protection standard in other countries may not be the same as in Austria. However, we will only transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission has found to provide adequate data protection; if this is not the case, we will take measures to ensure that all recipients provide an adequate level of data protection, for which purpose we will enter into standard contractual clauses (2021/914/EU).
6. COMMUNICATION AND NOTIFICATION OF DATA BREACHES
We endeavor to ensure that data breaches are detected early and reported promptly to you and, where appropriate, notified to the competent data protection authority, including the relevant categories of data involved.
7. RETENTION OF DATA
We will not retain data longer than necessary to fulfil our contractual and/or legal obligations or to defend us against any liability claims that may arise.
