Website and log files provision 

Every time you visit our website, our web server automatically collects information from the system of the computer or terminal device you are using - in other words, from you. 

The following data is collected by us: 

  • Information about the browser and version used 
  • Operating system of the user's terminal device 
  • The user’s Internet service provider 
  • The user’s IP address 
  • Date and time of access 
  • The website that the user previously visited, from which the user accessed our website. 

The legal basis for the temporary storage and collection of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO (legitimate self interest as the responsible website operator). 

Purpose of data processing 

The temporary storage of the user’s IP address, i.e. of you, by our web server or the system is necessary in order to be able to send the website to the user at all. For this purpose, the IP address must necessarily remain stored for the duration of the session. 

We will not save any web server log files. Really not. 

Duration of storage 

The above-mentioned data will be deleted as soon as it has served its purpose. This is usually the case when the session has ended. 

E-mail contact and contact form 

We can be contacted via the e-mail address provided by us. In this case, the sender’s (the user) personal data, transmitted with the request will be stored. 

The legal basis for the processing of the data which is transmitted in the course of a transmission of an inquiry is art. 6 exp. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO (justified self interest as responsible party). 

If the purpose of the inquiry is to enter into legal representation, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO (fulfilment of a contract). 

Client information on data protection can also be found here on the Internet: https://www.carlswerk.com/datenschutz-mandanten Purpose of data processing This personal data is used solely to process the initial contact. 

Duration of storage 

The above data will be deleted as soon it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent to us by e-mail, this is the case when the conversation or contact has ended. We assume that the conversation has ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

Possibility of objection 

The user can object to the use of their data at any time. The objection must be sent to the following e-mail address: datenschutz@carlswerk.com. 

In this case, all personal data stored in the course of establishing contact will be deleted. 

Rights of the person concerned 

If a user's personal data is processed, the user is the "data subject" within the meaning of the DS-GVO. The data subject has the following rights: 

  • Right to information 
  • Right to rectification 
  • Right to limitation of processing 
  • Right to deletion 
  • Right to information 
  • Right to data transferability 
  • right of objection 
  • Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law 
  • Right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority 

Note on the revocation of consent 

Under data protection law, the data subject has the right to revoke their declaration of consent with us at any time. This does not affect the legality of any processing carried out on the basis of consent until revoked. 

Note on complaints to a supervisory authority 

Without detriment to any other administrative or judicial redress, a data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority - in particular in the Member State of the user's place of residence, the user's place of work or the place of presumed infringement - if the user is of the opinion that the processing of their personal data by us violates the DS-GVO.
