Personal data gathered by us in the course of acting for you will be kept until the expiry of the statutory retention period for attorneys (6 years from the close of the calendar year during which we cease to act for you) and will then be erased unless we are obliged to retain it for a longer period of time in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) GDPR due to retention and documentary requirements under tax and commercial law or unless you have consented to a longer period of retention pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

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

You have given your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR,

It is lawful and necessary under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the performance of our contract with you.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer enabling your use of the website to be analysed. The information about your visit to our website generated by cookies is generally transferred to a Google server in den USA and stored there. In the event of IP anonymization being activated on this website your IP address will first be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases. Google will use that information on behalf of the website operator in order to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and render other services associated website usage and use of the Internet to the website operator.

The IP address conveyed by your browser during the Google Analytics process will not be combined with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies being stored by configuring your browser software accordingly; however, we would point out that by doing so you might be prevented from making full use of our website functions. You can also prevent the gathering of data relating to your use of the website generated by cookies (incl. your IP address) and the processing of that data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available using the following link:

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” so that IP addresses are only processed further in abbreviated form to prevent them from being directly linked to a particular individual. If data gathered about you identifies you as a particular individual this will therefore be immediately barred and the personal data deleted at once.

We use Google Analytics to enable us to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. Using the statistics obtained are able to improve our services and arrange them better for you, the user. For exceptional instances where personal data is transferred to the USA Google has agreed to be subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
