Privacy Policy Attorney-at-law Johannes Hebenstreit
1. Personal Data
The law firm RA Dr. Johannes Hebenstreit, Franz-Josef-Straße 15, 5020 Salzburg, collects, processes, and uses your personal data only with your consent, mandate, or order for the purposes agreed with you or if there is any other legal basis in accordance with the GDPR; this is done in compliance with data protection and civil law regulations.
Only such personal data are collected which are necessary for the execution and handling of legal services or which you have voluntarily provided us with.
Personal data are all data that contain individual details about personal or factual circumstances, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, video recordings, photos, voice recordings of individuals, and biometric data such as fingerprints. Sensitive data such as health data or data related to a criminal proceeding can also be included.
2. Information and Deletion
As a client or generally as a data subject, you have the right – subject to attorney-client confidentiality – to obtain information at any time about your stored personal data, their origin, and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, transfer, object, restrict the processing, and block or delete incorrect or unlawfully processed data.
If changes to your personal data occur, please inform us accordingly.
You have the right to revoke a given consent for the use of your personal data at any time. Your request for information, deletion, correction, objection, and/or data transfer, provided it does not cause disproportionate effort, can be addressed to the law firm at the address mentioned in point 12 of this statement.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data by us violates the applicable data protection law or your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you have the possibility to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
3. Data Security
The protection of your personal data is ensured by appropriate organizational and technical precautions. These precautions concern in particular the protection against unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental access, processing, loss, use, and manipulation.
Despite efforts to maintain a consistently high level of due diligence requirements, it cannot be excluded that information you disclose to us via the Internet may be viewed and used by others.
Please note that we do not accept any liability for the disclosure of information due to errors not caused by us during data transmission and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g., hacking attack on email account or telephone, interception of faxes).
4. Use of Data
We will not process the data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the mandate contract or your consent or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the GDPR. An exception to this is the use for statistical purposes, provided the data provided has been anonymized.
5. Transmission of Data to Third Parties
To fulfill your order, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g., opposing parties, substitutes, insurers, service providers we use and to whom we provide data, etc.), courts, or authorities. Your data will be forwarded exclusively based on the GDPR, in particular to fulfill your order or based on your prior consent.
Furthermore, we inform you that in the course of our legal representation and support, it is regularly necessary to obtain factual and case-related information from third parties.
Some of the above recipients of your personal data are located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that of Austria. However, we only transmit your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection or we take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection, for which we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).
6. Disclosure of Data Breaches
We strive to ensure that data breaches are detected early and, if necessary, immediately reported to you or the competent supervisory authority, including the respective data categories that are affected.
7. Retention of Data
We will not retain data longer than necessary to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations and to defend against any liability claims.
