Collection and storage of personal data when you visit our website and the type and purpose of its use
When you visit our website www.srp-disputes.com, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted: 
• Referrer (previously visited website)
• Requested website or file
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system
• Device type
• Time of access
• IP address in anonymised form (used only to determine the location of access).

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
• To ensure a smooth connection to the website,
• To ensure the comfortable use of our website,
• To evaluate system security and stability, and
• For other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances will we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

Collection and storage of personal data when you engage us
When you engage us, we collect the following information:
• Title, first name, surname,
• a valid email address,
• postal address,
• telephone number (landline and/or mobile)
• information necessary for the assertion and defence of your rights within the scope of the mandate. This data is collected
• to be able to identify you as our client;
• to be able to provide you with appropriate legal advice and representation;
• to correspond with you;
• for invoicing;
• to process any liability claims that may arise
• and to assert any claims against you.

Data processing is carried out at your request and is necessary for the purposes stated in Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the appropriate processing of the mandate and for the mutual fulfilment of obligations arising from the mandate agreement. The personal data collected for the purpose of the mandate will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention period for lawyers (6 years after the end of the calendar year in which the mandate was terminated) and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) GDPR due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (from the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Criminal Code (StGB) or the Fiscal Code of Germany (AO)) or you consent to further storage in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Transfer of data
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
• you have given your express consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR,
• the transfer is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in the non-transfer of your data. This includes, in particular, transfer to opponents in legal proceedings and their representatives (in particular their attorneys) as well as courts and other public authorities for the purpose of correspondence and to assert and defend your rights. The data transferred may only be used by the third party for the purposes stated,
• if there is a legal obligation to transfer the data in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, and
• if this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The attorney-client privilege remains unaffected. Insofar as data is subject to attorney-client privilege, it will only be transferred to third parties in consultation with you.

Your rights as a data subject
You may exercise the following rights at any time:
• pursuant to Article 15 GDPR, to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you may request information about the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about its details;
• pursuant to Article 16 GDPR, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data stored by us or to request to have it completed;
• pursuant to Article 17 GDPR, to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for fulfilling a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
• pursuant to Article 18 GDPR, to request the restriction of processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is contested by you, the processing is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure, and we no longer need the data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR;
• pursuant to Article 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request its transmission to another controller;
• in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR, to withdraw your consent once you have given it to us at any time. As a result, we will no longer be allowed to continue processing the data based on this consent for the future; and
• in accordance with Article 77 GDPR, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual habitual residence or place of work or our law firm’s registered office for this purpose.

A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Your right to object
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, provided that there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which we will implement without you having to specify a particular situation.

If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an email to mail@srp-disputes.com.

Data security 
When you visit our website, we use the widely used SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we will use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognise whether an individual page of our website is being transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
