Protecting your data is very important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

In this overview, we explain in simple terms what happens to your personal data collected on our website. Personal data is any data that allows a direct or indirect inference to your person. You can find detailed information below this overview.

c. Your rights
With regard to the personal data we process about you, you have the right at any time to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, as well as data portability. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. For more information, please see section 3 (“Your Rights”).

2. General Information

a. Legal basis for data processing
Depending on the specific type of data processing, the lawfulness of processing is based on Article 6(1) sentence 1 letters a, b, e, f of the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). You can find the legal basis for the respective cases under section 4 (“Data collection on this website”).

b. Data Controller
The controller responsible for data processing is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (Article 4(7) EU GDPR). For our website, this is Attorney Kristian Borkert, whom you can contact as follows:

You can find more information about us in the legal notice (Impressum).

c. Data transfers to the USA
We do not use any tools on our website that enable data transfers to the USA.

d. SSL encryption
We use SSL encryption on our website to protect your data—especially inquiries you submit—as effectively as possible. You can recognize a secure SSL connection by the fact that the address line of your browser begins with https://. For unencrypted connections, the final “s” is missing.

3. Your Rights

a. Right to data portability
Pursuant to Article 20(1) EU GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, provided the processing is based on consent or on the performance of a contract. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller pursuant to Article 20(2) EU GDPR, this will only occur where technically feasible.

b. Right of access, erasure, rectification
Under Article 17(1) EU GDPR, you have the right to obtain, free of charge, access to the personal data we process about you, their source, recipients, as well as the purpose of processing. If stored data is inaccurate, you have the right under Article 16 EU GDPR to rectification or completion of your data. In addition, under the conditions of Article 17 (1) EU GDPR, you may have the right to the erasure of your personal data.

c. Right to restriction of processing
Under Article 18(1) EU GDPR, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted processing, this data—beyond storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.One of the following conditions must apply:

i. You contest the accuracy of the personal data. For the period we need to verify this, you may request restriction of processing.

ii. The processing is unlawful; you refrain from requesting deletion of the data and may therefore request restriction of use.

iii. We no longer need your personal data for the purpose of processing, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

iv. You have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) EU GDPR. A balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. For the period during which it is not yet determined whether our legitimate grounds override yours, you may request restriction of processing.

d. Right to withdraw your consent
If data processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future pursuant to Article 7 (3) EU GDPR.

e. Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing
If data processing is based on Article 6(1) sentence 1 letter e EU GDPR (performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us) or on Article 6(1) sentence 1 letter f EU GDPR (proportionate protection of legitimate interests on our part or that of a third party), you have the right under Article 21(1) sentence 1 to object to the processing of your data on grounds relating to your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
In addition, under Article 21(2) EU GDPR you have the right to object where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing.

f. Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
You have the right, in the event of an (alleged) infringement of the provisions of the EU GDPR, to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, in particular with the authority of the Member State of your residence, habitual residence, or place of work, or where the alleged infringement took place. Any other administrative or judicial remedies remain unaffected by the exercise of the right to lodge a complaint.
