We at David Zellinger - Attorney at Law, Josefstädter Straße 11/16, 1080 Vienna (hereinafter „ZELLINGER LAW“), take the protection of your personal data seriously.

ZELLINGER LAW treats your personal data confidentially and complies with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the Data Protection Act (DSG), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telecommunications Act (TKG) as well as this data protection declaration.

What is personal data?

Personal data is information about data subjects (natural persons) whose identity is determined or can be determined. Examples of such data are name, date of birth, address, email address, telephone number, gender, national insurance number, but also photos, video recordings and biometric data such as fingerprints. Sensitive data, such as health data or data in connection with criminal proceedings, can also be included.

Processing and use of personal data

ZELLINGER LAW collects, processes and uses your personal data only if there is a legal basis for this under the GDPR or only with your consent or assignment for the purposes agreed with you. Only data that is necessary for the performance and processing of legal services or that you have voluntarily provided to ZELLINGER LAW will be processed.

If you contact ZELLINGER LAW via the contact form on the website, by telephone, e-mail or fax, ZELLINGER LAW will process the personal data you provide (title, name, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number and, if applicable, other data provided and documents and certificates transmitted) for the purpose of processing your request. ZELLINGER LAW processes this data to fulfil (pre-)contractual obligations or on the basis of legitimate interests.

ZELLINGER LAW would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Disclosure of personal data

In order to fulfil your order, it may also be necessary to pass on your data to third parties (e.g. counterparties, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers used by ZELLINGER LAW and to whom ZELLINGER LAW makes data available, etc.) or to courts or authorities. Your data will only be passed on on the basis of the GDPR, in particular to fulfil your order or on the basis of your prior consent.

In the context of legal representation and support, it is also regularly necessary to obtain factual and case-related information from you from third parties. All of this is done in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations.

Cookies

ZELLINGER LAW uses the „Real Cookie Banner“ consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents. Details on how „Real Cookie Banner“ works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, ZELLINGER LAW will not be able to manage your consents.

Server log files

For reasons of operational security, the hosting provider collects data about access to the website and stores it as server log files. These log files are stored for four weeks and then deleted.

Duration of storage of personal data

ZELLINGER LAW only stores your data for as long as it is required to fulfil the aforementioned purposes and contractual or legal obligations. If your personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymised so that you can no longer be identified. ZELLINGER LAW will not store the data for longer than is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations and for the defence against liability claims.

Data security

The protection of your personal data is guaranteed by appropriate technical and organisational security measures. Despite all efforts, however, it cannot be ruled out that information that ZELLINGER LAW receives from you via the Internet may be viewed by third parties. ZELLINGER LAW can therefore accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by ZELLINGER LAW and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. hacking of the e-mail account).

Information, modification of data and deletion

As a data subject, you have the right to obtain information about the personal data processed by ZELLINGER LAW about you at any time.

You also have the right to rectify inaccurate data and, under certain circumstances, to erase your data. If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data with effect for the future. You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the option of contacting a data protection supervisory authority (in Austria: Austrian Data Protection Authority) with any complaints you may have.

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

Your rights

You have the right to information, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, cancellation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.

Data breaches

ZELLINGER LAW endeavours to recognise data breaches at an early stage and, if necessary, to report them to you or the responsible supervisory authority without delay, including the categories of data affected in each case.
