  • information necessary to assert and defend your rights under the mandate.

These data are collected

The data will be processed upon your request and is required for the above-mentioned purposes for the appropriate processing of the mandate and for the mutual fulfilment of obligations arising from the mandate agreement in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The personal data collected by us for the mandate will be stored until the end of the legal storage obligation for lawyers (6 years after the end of the calendar year in which the mandate was terminated) and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store them for a longer period of time pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. c GDPR due to tax and commercial law storage and documentation obligations (from German Commercial Code, German Criminal Code or German Fiscal Code) or you have consented to further storage pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The following information is recorded without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting computer

The mentioned data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you as a person.

3. Disclosure of Data

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a GDPR,
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that a legal obligation exists for the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. c GDPR, and
  • this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b GDPR. This includes in particular the disclosure to opposing parties and their representatives (in particular their lawyers) as well as courts and other public authorities for the purpose of correspondence and for asserting and defending your rights. The data disclosed may only be used by the third party for the stated purposes.

The attorney-client privilege remains unaffected. As far as it concerns data which are subject to the attorney-client privilege, a passing on to third parties only takes place in consultation with you.
