2. Principle

This website is purely informational. It does not set cookies, does not use any analytics, tracking or marketing services and does not embed any third-party content (in particular no external fonts, maps or videos).

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., 101 2nd Street, Suite 575, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, and delivered via its content delivery network. When you visit the website, Netlify processes technically necessary data transmitted by your browser (IP address, date and time of access, page requested, referrer URL, browser type and operating system) in order to deliver the website and to ensure its stability and security.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely and reliably. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Netlify. In this context, data is transferred to the USA. Netlify is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; the transfer is based on the European Commission's adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). Log data is stored only for as long as necessary for these purposes and is then deleted.

4. Contacting me

If you contact me by email or phone, I process the information you provide (e.g. name, contact details, content of your enquiry) in order to handle your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to entering into or performing an engagement for legal services, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is deleted once it is no longer required for this purpose, unless statutory retention obligations (in particular Section 50 BRAO and tax law obligations) apply. Your information is subject to my statutory duty of professional secrecy as a German attorney at law (Section 43a(2) BRAO).

Please note that unencrypted emails are not fully protected against access by third parties during transmission.

5. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

Right to object: Where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The competent authority is: Der Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit (Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information), Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 22, 20459 Hamburg, Germany, datenschutz-hamburg.de.
