4. Data Collection via Communication

Contact via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry, phone number), will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR insofar as your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (mandate inquiry). In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Communication via WhatsApp

For quick communication in emergencies or for initiating a mandate, we use the instant messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption. However, WhatsApp gains access to metadata (e.g., sender, recipient, timestamp). WhatsApp shares personal data with its US parent company Meta Platforms Inc. The use of WhatsApp is voluntary. By contacting us via WhatsApp, you consent to the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by contacting us via another channel.

We do not embed Google Maps directly into our website to protect your data. Instead, we use links or static images that lead to Google Maps.

Only when you actively click on the link "View on Google Maps" or the map image will you be redirected to Google Maps services. Only from this point on will data (such as your IP address) be transferred to Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and processed there. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our law firm easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
