Fundamental principles for the use of our website

General

We at LIGANT Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten Randhahn.Landvoigt.Steinpilz.Grups mbB take the protection of your personal data very seriously. For this reason, we process your personal data exclusively in accordance with the Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO) and other national data protection laws. This is necessary to provide a functioning website. It also enables us to provide you with our content and services.

A processing of personal data happens only if you have given your consent. An exception to this only exists if no consent can be obtained for practical reasons and statutory regulations permit data processing.

The data processing takes place only as far as it is legal. Lawfulness exists if at least one condition specified in Art. 6 para. 1 DSGVO is fulfilled. We delete your data as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies or a period prescribed by law (usually 7 days) has expired. You have the possibility at any time to object to data processing with effect for the future. For this purpose, please send us a written declaration of revocation by post or by e-mail to kontakt@ligant.de with sufficient proof of your identity.

Log Files

When you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of your computer. The following data is collected:

• IP address of the requesting computer,
• Date and time of access,
• Name and URL of the expired file,
• Website from which access is made (referrer URL),
• the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.

This data is stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user. The data is stored in the log files in order to ensure the functionality of our website. We can also use the data to optimise our website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The stored data will be deleted as soon as their purpose has been fulfilled. If the data is collected to provide the website, its purpose is achieved when the session has ended. Since the collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, there is no possibility for you to object.

E-Mail Contact

If you make personal data available to us by e-mail, this is always done on a voluntary basis and only for the purpose that is clearly associated with your data entry. We use this data exclusively to process your inquiry and always in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. This data will also not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, unless we are legally obliged to do so. As soon as the purpose for the collection and storage of your personal data has ceased to apply, we will delete this data promptly. In the case of communication by e-mail, this is when the underlying facts have been conclusively clarified and the conversation can be regarded as terminated. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) is unsecured and may, therefore, be subject to security gaps, so that data can be read or falsified by unauthorised persons.

We do not use any cookies or tracking providers on our website.

OpenStreetMap

We use the map service of OpenStreetMap (OSM). The provider is the Open-Street-Map Foundation (OSMF), 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom.

When you visit a website that includes OpenStreetMap, your IP address and other information about your behaviour on that website will be shared with OSMF, among other things. OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser for this purpose. These are text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

In addition, your location can be recorded if you have allowed this in your device settings, e.g. on your mobile phone. The provider of this page has no influence on this data transfer. Details can be found in the OpenStreetMap Privacy Policy under the following link: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy retrievability of the places we indicate on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. Insofar as this is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) or c), e) or f) DSGVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you, your personal data will be passed on to third parties. This includes particularly the disclosure to opponents of proceedings and their representatives (particularly their lawyers) as well as courts and other public authorities, such as the tax offices for the purpose of correspondence and to assert and defend your rights. The data passed on may only be used by the third party for the aforementioned purposes. Professional secrecy and the regulations on notarial professional and procedural law remain unaffected. Insofar as the data concerned is subject to professional secrecy, it will only be passed on to third parties in consultation with you.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

The applicable data protection law grants natural persons comprehensive rights to data subjects (information and intervention rights) vis-à-vis the person responsible regarding the processing of your personal data:

Right to Confirmation, Art. 15 para. 1 sentence 1 DSGVO

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the responsible person (controller) confirmation as to whether personal data relating to him or her are being processed.

Right of Access, Art. 15 para. 1 sentence 2 DSGVO

Where personal data of the data subject are processed, the data subject shall have the right of access to such personal data and to the following information:

1. the processing purposes;
2. the categories of personal data processed;
3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
4. if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if that is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration;
5. the existence of a right to the rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her or to the limitation of the processing carried out by the controller or of a right to object to such processing;
6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
7. if the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information on the origin of the data;
8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in these cases, meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended impact of such processing on the data subject.

Right to Rectification and Completion, Art. 16 DSGVO

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

Right to Cancellation (Right to be Forgotten), Art. 17 DSGVO

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure without delay of personal data relating to him or her and the controller shall be obliged to erase without delay personal data for any of the following reasons:

1. Personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
2. The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) and no other legal basis for the processing exists.
3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject submits the following pursuant to Article 21(2).
4. Objection to the processing.
5. The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
6. The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union Law or the law of the Member States to which the data controller is subject.
7. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1).

However, the aforementioned does not apply insofar as the processing is carried out for legal purposes.

Right to Limitation of Processing, Art. 18 DSGVO

The data subject shall have the right to request the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

1. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period of time which enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses to erase the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data;
3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
4. the data subject has objected to the processing referred to in Article 21(1) until it is established whether the controller’s legitimate reasons outweigh those of the data subject.

Where processing has thus been restricted, such personal data shall not be processed, except with the consent of the data subject or for the exercise or defence of legal rights or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State, except where the data are stored.

A data subject who has obtained a restriction on processing shall be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to Data Transferability, Art. 20 DSGVO

The data subject shall have the right to obtain the personal data concerning him or her which he or she has provided to a data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format and shall have the right to communicate such data to another data controller without being impeded by the data controller to whom the personal data have been provided, if:

1. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b), and
2. processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising his right to data transfer, the data subject shall have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, to the extent that this is technically feasible.

Right to Revoke Consent Given, Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO

The data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revoked. The data subject shall be informed before consent is given. Revocation of consent must be as simple as giving consent.

Right to Appeal, Art. 77 Abs. 1 DSGVO

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, any data subject shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of presumed infringement, if he or she considers that the processing of his or her personal data is contrary to this Regulation.

Right of Objection, Art. 21 DSGVO

The data subject shall have the right to object at any time, for reasons relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her under Article 6(1)(e) and (f), including profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process personal data unless he or she can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing outweighing the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing is for the exercise, exercise or defence of legal rights.
