DATA PRIVACY POLICY

For us, the protection of personal data has a high priority. Here, we inform you about the processing of your personal data by VOGELMANN & KÄPPLER Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB (hereinafter "V&K") when visiting our websites. You will also receive general information about the transfer of your data to third parties and about your rights with regard to the processing of your data.

V&K processes your data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act ("BDSG") and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation - "GDPR"), as amended.

Who is responsible for the processing of my personal data?

V&K, i.e. VOGELMANN & KÄPPLER Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB, Kaiser-Friedrich-Promenade 12, 61348 Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, is responsible for the processing of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR.

What data is processed when visiting the V&K website?

When visiting the website of V&K, various data about the accessing system are automatically stored. This includes the type of browser used, the browser version, the operating system used, the website from which the V&K website is accessed, the visited subpages of the V&K website, the date and time of access, the internet protocol address (IP address), the internet service provider as well as comparable data.

What is the legal basis for this?

V&K uses this data in order to be able to make the website accessible, to detect and solve any technical problems that may occur and to prevent and, if necessary, prosecute any misuse of our offerings. In addition, V&K uses this data in anonymous form, i.e. without the possibility of identifying the user, for statistical purposes and to improve our webpages. The legal basis for this processing and usage of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

How are cookies used and on what legal basis?

The websites of V&K use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's data carrier and exchange certain settings and data with the system used by or for V&K via the browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent, information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier. The information stored in the cookies is not used to identify the user and is not merged with other personal data stored about the user.

By changing the settings of the internet browser, users can disable or restrict the transfer of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for the V&K websites, it may no longer be possible to fully use all functions of our websites.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

With regard to the legal basis, basically the same considerations apply as in the preceding section (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). In particular, the website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

If cookies are stored to analyze your surfing behavior (analysis cookies), V&K will only do so with your consent. Currently, we do not use such analysis cookies on our websites.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts on our websites, i.e. fonts of the company Google Inc. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.

When you visit our websites, personal data is automatically transmitted to Google and its servers due to the use of Google Fonts, such as in particular your IP address, language settings as well as the screen resolution and version of your browser. How long this data is stored by Google cannot be clearly determined by us, and may possibly be up to one year. It is our understanding that Google also processes and stores your personal data in the U.S. We would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection in the U.S. comparable to the legal situation in the EU. In particular, it is possible that third parties, for example government agencies, may also access personal data without us or you becoming aware of this. Legal prosecution may not be fruitful.

If you wish to have your data stored by Google deleted, you can contact Google support at:

https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=331678965001

You can also find more information about Google Fonts and data protection at Google at:

https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=331678965001

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

The legal basis under data protection law for data processing in connection with Google Fonts results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, provided you have given your consent. Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in the data processing, so that Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR constitutes a legal basis as well. The use of Google Fonts enables us to improve the quality of our websites. Google Fonts supports all common browsers. The fonts provided are optimized for the web, so that, in addition to visual aspects, and among other things, data volume is spared and the load times of our webpages are shortened.

How long will my personal data be stored?

Your personal data will be deleted when the respective purpose of the storage no longer applies and no statutory provision requires storage. If deletion is not possible in an individual case, processing will be restricted.

Will my personal data be passed on to third parties?

V&K uses service providers to make its websites available. For this purpose, we transmit personal data to these service providers or grant the service providers access to your personal data. These service providers are carefully selected and meet high data protection and data security standards. They are bound to strict confidentiality and process data only on behalf of or according to the instructions of V&K.

Except as explained in this Privacy Policy, V&K will disclose your data to third parties without your explicit consent only if V&K is required to do so by law or by a governmental or judicial order.

What rights do I have with regard to my personal data?

You have a right to information about the personal data stored by V&K and, if the respective legal requirements are met, a right to rectification, deletion and restriction of processing. You also have the right to receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, common and machine-readable format. This includes the right to transfer this data to another controller. If technically feasible, you may also request that V&K transmit the personal data directly to the other controller.

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is based on a balance of interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing under the conditions described in Art. 21 GDPR.

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is based on your express consent, you may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. An informal communication, e.g. by e-mail to us, is sufficient for this purpose.

You can also contact the competent supervisory authority with complaints.
