3. Personal data obtained in the context of services
We process personal data which we receive from you in your capacity as a client or as a representative/authorized representative of a client.
In addition, we process personal data of third parties which we have lawfully obtained from publicly available sources (e.g. Commercial Registers, the Register of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office, press, media, internet) and are permitted to process.
These data are processed in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 points (f) and (b) GDPR in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of our law firm and/or of our clients.
Furthermore, the personal data of the client and/or his representative/authorized representative may be processed for specific purposes on the basis of consent given in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 point (a) GDPR. Consent once granted can be withdrawn at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent granted to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before 25.05.2018. The revocation only takes effect for the future and does not affect any processing carried out before then.
The personal data collected by us for the instruction are stored until the expiry of the statutory period of the storage obligation incumbent on attorneys (6 years after the end of the calendar year in which the instruction was terminated) and then deleted, unless we are obliged under Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 point (c) GDPR to store them for a longer period because of storage and documentation obligations pursuant to fiscal and commercial law (e.g. according to the German Commercial Code, Fiscal Code or Taxation Regulations) or you have given your consent to longer storage according to Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.
4. Transfer of personal data to third parties
Your personal data will not be passed to third parties for any purposes other than those listed below. We shall only pass personal data to third parties if:
- it is legally permissible to do so and is necessary under Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 point (b) GDPR for the performance of a contractual relationship to which the person concerned is party, or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract with you,
- in the event that there is a legal obligation to pass them on under Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 point (c) GDPR,
- passing them on is necessary under Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 point (f) GDPR in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest, which requires protection, in not having your data passed on and
- specific consent thereto has been given under Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.
The data passed on may only be used by the third parties for the exclusive purposes mentioned. This shall not prejudice attorney-client privilege. Where data are concerned which are subject to attorney-client privilege, they may only be passed to third parties in agreement with you.
5. Rights of persons affected
You have a right to information according to Article 15 GDPR, the right to rectification according to Article 16 GDPR, the right to erasure according to Article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing according to Article 18 GDPR, the right to object according to Article 21 GDPR and the right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR. With regard to the right to information and the right to erasure, the restrictions pursuant to the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) sections 34, 35 apply. In addition, there is a right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority (Article 77 GDPR in combination with BDSG section 19). You may assert this right with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or place of the alleged infringement. In Bavaria, the competent supervisory authority is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority:
Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA)
Promenade 27,
91522 Ansbach, Germany
According to Article 7 paragraph 3 GDPR, you can withdraw your consent to us at any time. The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue processing data in future wherever this was based solely on that consent.
If your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests according to Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 point (f) GDPR, you have the right according to Article 21 GDPR to object to the processing of your personal data if there are grounds relating to your particular situation. If you would like to exercise your right to object, an e-mail to datenschutzbeauftragter@sp-patent.de is sufficient.
6. Data security
We maintain technical and organizational measures to ensure data security, in particular to protect personal data against risks in data transmission as well as to prevent third parties from gaining knowledge of personal data. The measures are updated to comply with the state of the art.
