    We, the lawyers at P & M Piccolruaz & Mueller, will gather, process and use the personal data provided by you exclusively for the purposes stated in this data protection statement and only on the basis of the consent of the person concerned or some other legitimate legal basis, such as compliance with a legal obligation or performance of a task carried out in accordance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) taking place under strict conditions of data protection and the provisions of civil law.

    Only personal data that is required for the execution of our legal consultation or that you provided voluntarily will be collected.

    Personal data means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, first and last name, email address, telephone number, birth date, age, gender, social security number, video recordings, photos, voice recordings of individuals as well as biometric data such as fingerprints. This includes also sensitive data or personal data relating to criminal convictions.
  2. Access and deletion
    As a client and generally as a concerned party you have the right to consult your personal information recorded by us, including the origin of this data and reason for having it recorded, to be given the names of any third parties likely to have access to this data, as well as having the right to correct, block, or delete all this data. You can also arrange for the deletion or blocking of your data if the collection, processing or use thereof proves to be prohibited or no longer necessary.

    Please contact us in case your personal data change.

    You have the right to revoke any permission to use your personal data any time. You may exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition and/or data transmission (unless this doesn't involve a disproportionate effort) in relation to your personal data as established by law by notification in writing addressed to our address as specified under article 10 of this agreement.

    If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data constitutes a breach of the relevant data protection law or should data privacy regulations be violated in a different manner, you have the possibility to complain to the responsible regulatory body. In Austria, the national data protection authority is responsible in this case.
  3. Data security
    Personal data processing is conducted primarily by means of extensive technical and organizational precautionary measures, including measures for checking the source of data and for protecting data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration or unauthorised access.

    Despite efforts to keep a notably high standard of these special requirements, it cannot be ruled out that information sent to us via the internet may be seen and used by other people.

    Please note that therefore we cannot be held liable for the publication of information which was transferred on account of data transmission failure or unauthorized access by third parties (e. g. computer trespass, unauthorised interception of telephone calls or fax messages).

Your data may solely be transmitted to third parties on the basis of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in order to satisfy the purpose for which you have made this data available to us and with your prior consent.

    Some of the above mentioned recipients of your personal data are based outside your country or process your personal data abroad. The level of data protection may not exactly comply with the level of data protection within Austria. Your personal data will only be transmitted to countries that provide an adequate level of data privacy protection set down by the EU Directive when transferring data to non-EU countries or we set measures to assure that all recipients have an adequate level of data privacy protection for which we issue standard contractual clauses for the purpose of fulfilling these requirements (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).
