3.5 Processing of data relating to (potential) opponents, involved parties and informants in matters handled by our clients
We also process your personal data if you are an opponent of our clients, involved parties or informants in matters we service to our clients. We usually receive this information from our clients or their business partners, from the Internet or other public sources available, as well as from other third parties or informants. Any separate, precise information about the data processing will not take place even if we come into direct contact with you in your capacity as opponent, involved party or informant, because we are exempted from the respective obligation according to article 14 paragraph 5 GDPR.
3.6 Collection of personal data from sources other than the data subject himself (Art 14 GDPR)
If we process your personal data according to 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 we usually collect data from you and it is usually you who provides us with this data. Nevertheless, in individual cases, we may also obtain data from other sources. These other sources are publicly available, such as information we obtain from the Internet or, in individual cases, from credit agencies. The information we obtain from third sources about you which is stored in our systems is limited to contact information (e-mail address and telephone number, postal address), your function in the company, your professional career, and your assignment to or responsibility for a particular company (usually your employer, any affiliated company or for another reason with this related company), if you have not disclosed that information to us as part of the communication. If you are an applicant, we can also process information about your school history, professional and academic career as well as about works written by you, from publicly available sources. However, we usually ask you directly if you can provide us with this information if we could not find it in your application documents. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in a complete set of personal data required for professional communication, the processing of our mandate, our business relationships and the application process, depending on the relationship we have with you (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
4. How long will your data be stored?
We will only store your data for as long as it is required for the purposes for which we collected it:
- For reasons relating to tax law, we store contracts and other documents and relevant correspondence pertaining to our contractual relationship for a period of ten years.
- According to the Regulations of the Attorneys’ Profession, we are legally obligated to retain files relating to our clients’ cases for five years after the relationship with the client has ended; in individual cases, such as to assert or defend against legal claims, we retain these files for up to 30 years after the relationship with the client has ended.
- Your data will be stored on our newsletter mailing list until you unsubscribe from the newsletter.
- The data of applicants who are not hired will be erased seven months after the closure cloof the application procedure we request the applicant’s consent to their data being kept on file for future consideration. Our internal data protection information for employees applies to applicants who are hired and can be requested during the application process.
5. What are your rights with respect to data processing?
We would furthermore like to inform you that you have the right, at all times, to request information concerning which of your data is processed by us (see Art. 15 of the GDPR for details), the right to have your data corrected or erased (see Art. 16 of the GDPR for details), the right to restrict the processing of your data (see Art. 18 of the GDPR for details), the right to object to the processing of your data (see Art. 21 of the GDPR for details), and the right to data portability (see Art. 20 of the GDPR for details).
