Only such personal data is collected which is necessary for the execution and completion of our legal services or which you have voluntarily provided us with.

You have the right to revoke your granted consent regarding the use of your personal data at any time. Your input pertaining to information, deletion, correction, revocation and/or data transmission, in the last-mentioned case, as long as no disproportional expense is incurred or confidentiality obligations infringed upon, can be directed to the address stated under Point 12. of this declaration. 

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates valid data protection law, or that your data protection legal claims are otherwise violated, then it is possible to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority. In Austria, the Datenschutzbehörde (Data Protection Authority) is responsible for such matters.
