GENERAL NOTES AND OBLIGATORY INFORMATION
​​
The Website Operator takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. Your personal data will be treated confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use the website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data is collected and what it is used for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. It is expressly pointed out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to the Website Operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to the Website Operator cannot be read by third parties.
​​
The responsible data controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.). The responsible data controller in charge of data processing on the website is the Website Operator, namely FABIAN KRAUPE, ATTORNEY AT LAW, MAXIMILIANSTRAßE 35A, 2ND FLOOR, MÜNCHEN, DE, KANZLEI@RA-KRAUPE.DE.
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with the Website Operator until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless there are other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
​
​If you have consented to data processing, your personal data will be processed on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of sec. 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, your data will be processed on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, your data will be processed if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation of the Website Operator on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest of the Website Operator pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
​​
Your personal data may be transferred to other countries in which the same data protection laws do not apply as in your country of residence. Please note that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient of the data is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ or has suitable additional guarantees.
As part of its business activities, the Website Operator works with various external bodies (e.g. notaries and tax consultants). In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. Your personal data will only be passed on to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if there is a legal obligation to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if the Website Operator has a legitimate interest in passing on the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if there is another legal basis for passing on the data. When using data processors, personal data is only passed on the basis of a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint data processing, a joint data processing agreement is concluded.
​​
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
​
You have the right to have data that is processed automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.
​
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact the Website Operator at any time with regard to this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
​
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact the Website Operator at any time. The details of the right to restriction of processing are as follows:
-
If you dispute the accuracy of your stored personal data, the Website Operator will generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
-
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
-
If the Website Operator no longer needs your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
-
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and the interests of the Website Operator. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
-
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.​​​​

DATA COLLECTION ON THE WEBSITE
​
The website uses so-called „cookies“. These include text files, pixel tags, transparent GIFs, log files, web beacons and other tracking or recording files and similar technologies that are sent to your end device. Cookies are therefore small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your browser. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them. Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The Website Operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and sec. 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of the website may be restricted.
​
If you contact the Website Operator by e-mail, post or telephone, your request, including all resulting personal data (e-mail address, name and telephone number, if provided) will be stored and processed by the Website Operator for the purpose of processing your request. This data will not be passed on without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send to the Website Operator via a contact request will remain with the Website Operator until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
