As we are not legally required to do so, we have not appointed a data protection officer with the Data Protection Authority.
The data is protected in accordance with the current state of technology, taking into account confidentiality, integrity, resilience, availability, and the respective type of data.
The data processing primarily relates to the attorney’s right of representation on behalf of clients, which extends to all courts and authorities in the Republic of Austria and includes professional legal representation in all judicial and extrajudicial public and private matters (§ 8 RAO).
The processing also relates to the lawyer’s legal obligations regarding the particularly high risk of money laundering (§ 165 Austrian Criminal Code) and terrorist financing (§ 278d Austrian Criminal Code). Therefore, all transactions must be carefully reviewed where the lawyer conducts financial or real estate transactions in the name and on behalf of the client or participates in their planning or execution (§ 8a RAO).
The lawyer is also obligated to verify the identity of the client and the beneficial owner, and determine whether the client is a politically exposed person pursuant to § 8f para. 2 RAO, a family member of such a person, or a person known to be closely associated with such a person.
Data processing for marketing purposes is carried out solely for the law firm’s own purposes. The data is initially obtained either from publicly accessible sources or directly from the client. The legal basis is consent, which may be revoked at any time, or a contract.
The processing of third-party data (litigation/procedural opponents or debtors of the client) is carried out solely for the defense or enforcement of the client’s legal claims. The data is provided either by the client, courts, or authorities.
The legal basis for processing is:
The processing of employee data is carried out solely to fulfill obligations arising from labor law, social security law, and social protection law. Information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR are fulfilled in employment contracts or other employment documentation.
The processing of personal data is necessary within the framework of law firm administration for handling client mandates, invoicing legal fees, and managing fiduciary services.
Lawyers are legally obligated to maintain confidentiality regarding all matters entrusted to them and all facts learned in their professional capacity where secrecy is in the interest of the client (§ 9 RAO).
To the extent necessary to safeguard client protection, the rights and freedoms of others, or the enforcement of civil law claims, the data subject may not invoke the rights under Articles 12–22 GDPR (data subject rights) and Article 34 GDPR (data breach notification).
Employees of the law firm are also bound to confidentiality pursuant to § 6 DSG.
Only the personal data necessary for legal representation and advice is processed regarding litigation/procedural opponents or debtors, including in particular:
The data is provided either by the client, courts, or authorities, or obtained from publicly accessible sources, particularly:
Personal data is disclosed, to the extent necessary, to:
The law firm fulfills its obligations under Articles 24 and 25 GDPR and ensures compliance by processors pursuant to Articles 28 and 29 GDPR.
Data is also shared with representatives of opposing parties where necessary for carrying out legal representation mandates.
No data is transferred to third countries or international organizations. Likewise, no automated decision-making, including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR, takes place.
Under § 12 RAO, the general retention period is 5 years after termination of representation or the contractual relationship.
For records relating to transactions covered by § 8a para. 1 RAO, retention may extend up to 10 years.
Longer retention periods apply only where required by law or contract. Data is retained for the duration of legal proceedings.
Data relevant under § 132 Austrian Federal Fiscal Code (BAO) must be retained for 7 years.
Data concerning wills is retained until revoked.
Otherwise, data is stored only as long as necessary for defending or asserting legal claims.
You have the following rights:
If you have given consent for the processing of your personal data, you may revoke this consent at any time. Revocation does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the revocation.
To exercise your rights, contact:
Please note that we can only provide information if you can identify yourself.
If you believe that data processing violates applicable data protection law or your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:
