3. Data collection when accessing our online services

Accessing our web pages will result in the automatic anonymised collection of the following data on our servers:

  • masked IP address,
  • access date/ time/ time zone,
  • access status,
  • type of access,
  • type of protocol,
  • type and number of pages accessed on our site,
  • name and size of accessed files,
  • referring website,
  • web browser,
  • operating system.

The listed non-personal data is collected automatically as part of the normal operations of our internet services. The information gathered about the use of our website is not combined with any personal information provided through the online registration form. We do not have any per-sonal references in our usage data.

We use the above data for the purposes of troubleshooting, generating statistics and measuring website activity with the aim of improving the value and use of our services. As such, we have a legitimate interest to justify the data processing activity pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Within our law firm, our IT administrator is the only person with access to this data for the pur-poses listed above. We work with our IT administrator to maintain and program our online ser-vices and have an agreement with them for the purpose of data processing.

The above data is only collected for the period of use; once the use has ended, the data shall be deleted without delay, after seven days at the latest.

We use cookies and web analysis services to obtain information as soon as your web browser accesses our website. These identifiers enable a range of our website’s service functions and are automatically transferred to the hard drive of your computer or other mobile device via your browser. This function can be deactivated in the settings of your browser. Should cookies be disabled, personalised service will be unavailable. In this case, your anonymised IP address may be transferred to the USA. For more information on the cookies and web analysis tools we use, see the “Use of cookies and tools” section below.

4. Contact

On our website, we have provided our contact data. Contacting us is always voluntary.

This data you send to us when you are contacting us is solely used for the purpose of answer-ing your request or responding to your request for contact, and the technical administration in-volved. This processing is lawful pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, as we require the data listed above for the initiation, conduct or termination of a contractual relationship with you.

We do not pass on your requests to third-parties or to organisations outside of the EU.

After your request has been processed, we delete your contact information, at the latest, 72 hours after your request has been dealt with. This period of storage may be subject to statutory storage periods, for example, when your request is in connection with the processing of a con-tract or a warranty or guarantee. In this case, we store your request beyond 72 hours only for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR). In this case, we delete your data on termination of the statutory storage period (Section 147 (3) Fiscal Code of Germa-ny (Abgabenordnung – AO)), i.e. after a period of 10 years, beginning at the conclusion of the contract. We will delete your data at the end of this retention period without any request to do so on your part.

5. Information about Law Firm Events

We use personal data (name, email address, address) to invite clients, colleagues and other persons with whom we maintain contact in the course of our professional activities to law firm events and for the dispatch of Christmas cards. Legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If you object to the processing of your personal data for these purposes you can send an email to datenschutz@lubbergerlehment.com at any time. The data will be deleted if you have object-ed to its processing, or if the purpose of the processing ceases to apply, provided we are not obliged to continue to store the data for legal reasons.

6. Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not use automated decision-making. Profiling only takes place in the cases described in this privacy policy if you have given us your consent to do so. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The revocation may be simply sent to us at any time, e.g., by an in-formal email to privacy@lubbergerlehment.com. Processing of your data which occurred prior to the withdrawal of consent is not affected. No further profiling will take place.

7. Use of cookies and tools

7.1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These text files are used for the temporary storage of information. Your browser stores cookies in the form of a readable text file once you access our site. If you are registered with us, cookies help us to recognise you, your device (computer, tablet or smart phone) the next time you access one of our website. Some cookies may contain personal data.

7.2 What cookies do we use?

We only set one necessary cookie, which does not require consent.

7.3 Cookie overview

Below is an overview of the cookies used by us:

  • Type of Cookie: Required Cookies
    • Cookie-Name: pll_language
    • Description: This cookie stores your language selec-tion. This allows us to show you the cor-rect language version without you having to select again every time you browse to a different page on our website.
    • Duration: 1 year

7.4 How to disable cookies

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and whether you wish to accept cookies individually, or to accept specific kinds of cookies, or to disable all cookies. Each browser is different in the way it administers its cookie settings. The Help menu of your browser provides information on how to change your cookie settings. You can find this infor-mation for your browser using the links below. When following some of these links, you must first select your browser version to see the specific instructions for changing your cookie set-tings

Alternatively, the Digital Advertising Alliance provide information on cookies and settings at www.aboutads.info.

7.5 Social media presence, use of social media icons and tools on our website

We do not use social plug-ins as active buttons on our website. When you see a social media icon on our website it is inactive and is merely an image that links to our social media presence.

If you click on an icon on our website, the link to that social media platform will open in a sepa-rate tab in your browser. These third-parties can then track your visit to our website.

Your data may be processed outside of the EU if you are a member of a social network or when you visit or access one of our social media pages. This may carry risks, for example, by mak-ing it harder for you to enforce your rights.

When data is being transmitted to and processed in the U.S., this is permitted according to the EU Commission’s adequacy decision (IMPLEMENTING COMMISSION DECISION (EU) of 10.07.2023 pursuant to Directive 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequate protection afforded by the EU-US data protection framework, notified under document number C(2023)4745 final). Providers such as Meta and Google participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (so-called EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework – DPF). The EU and the U.S. have concluded the agreement for the transfer of personal data from the EU and the EEA to or-ganizations in the U.S.. To the extent that these U.S. organizations participate in the DPF, the level of protection in the U.S. is deemed adequate. For more information on participation in the EU-U.S. data protection framework, please visit the website established by the U.S. Department of Commerce to implement the agreement: www.dataprivacyframework.gov.

When you access a social work, cookies are generally set to collect data on your user behav-iour which is then stored in your end device. As long as you have a user account on any net-work, and are logged in, your user behaviour can be saved to your user account. The social networks may use this user behaviour information for market research and advertising purposes. This may result in your being advertisements both inside and outside of your social networks. We have no influence over this.

We have no influence over the personal data collected and stored by social networks. We re-ceive evaluations of user behaviour from the social media sites listed above and may use this to send relevant advertising to users. If users interact with our social media pages and are logged into a user account, we can also recognise the user profile and see the content of com-ments or postings on our page. The processing of this data is carried out in joint responsibility with the provider of the social network in question. We have concluded an agreement with the individual providers of our social media pages on joint responsibility for the evaluation of data collected in connection with our social media pages (Art. 26 GDPR). In it, we have committed ourselves to providing you with this privacy information. More information is available from the privacy policies of the individual social networks. You may also exercise the rights to which you are entitled against us. However, as the social network provider stores and evaluates your data, they are able to more comprehensively fulfil your rights.

7.6 LinkedIn

We have a social media presence at https://www.linkedin.com/company/lubberger-lehment, where we present photos and posts about our law firm, provide information on our services, pub-lish job advertisements and communicate with customers. When you use and access our LinkedIn page, your data is processed by the Irish-based company LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland and the US-based LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085 (hereinafter referred to as “LinkedIn”). Among other things, LinkedIn provides a system in which LinkedIn distributes advertising via its network.

When you access our LinkedIn profile, your data is transferred to LinkedIn in the USA. This data transfer is permitted by the adequacy decision of the EU Commission. The LinkedIn Corporation participates in the DPF (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/).

We analyze the views and interactions on our LinkedIn page. For this purpose, LinkedIn cre-ates usage profiles, but only provides us with anonymous data in this regard, so-called page anal-yses. This is summarized data that provides us with information about how users interact with our LinkedIn page. The statistics compiled are only transmitted to us in anonymized form. We do not have access to the underlying data. With regard to this analysis service, we pro-cess your personal data in conjunction with LinkedIn. For this reason, we have concluded a joint con-troller agreement with LinkedIn (Art. 26 GDPR, https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum).

You can access our LinkedIn page regardless of whether you have a LinkedIn user account or not. We process your personal data when you interact with our LinkedIn page, e.g. post a com-ment, click a Like button or send us a message. We do not pass the data on to other third par-ties. The LinkedIn terms of use are also applicable at: https://ch.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement?trk=hb_ft_userag.

The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in customer loyalty and the presentation of our services (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). LinkedIn users can assert their own rights on LinkedIn, e.g. revoke or delete a comment or a Like.

LinkedIn offers the possibility to object to certain data processing; relevant information and opt-out options can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_cookie-policy.

LinkedIn users can influence the extent to which their usage behavior may be recorded when visiting our LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising.

Data processing via cookies used by LinkedIn can also be prevented by browser settings.

LinkedIn only transfers user data to countries which have been granted an adequacy decision by the European Commission in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR or on the basis of suitable guaran-tees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. For this purpose, the EU standard data protection claus-es are concluded.

  • the data processing is unlawful, but you do not agree to the deletion of the personal data, instead requesting a restriction of its use,

If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impos-sible or involves a disproportionate effort.

In exercising this right, you may request that personal data related to you be transferred directly from us to another controller insofar as this is technically feasible and does not infringe on the freedoms and rights of any other person.

The right to object also applies to profiling based on these processes.

If the personal data that concerns you is being processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.
