Data Protection

OBLIN treats your personal data confidentially and comply with the applicable legal data protection regulations, in particular the Data Protection Act (DSG), the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the Telecommunications Act (TKG) as well as this Privacy Policy.

What is personal data?

Personal data is information about data subjects (natural persons) whose identity is determined or determinable. Examples of such data are name, date of birth, address, e-mail address, telephone number, gender, social security number, but also photos, video recordings as well as biometric data such as fingerprints. Sensitive data, such as health data or data related to criminal proceedings, may also be included.

Processing and use of personal data

OBLIN collects, process and use your personal data only if there is a legal basis for doing so in accordance with the GDPR or only with your consent or assignment for the purposes agreed with you. Only data that are necessary for the implementation and processing of my legal services or that you have voluntarily provided to me will be processed.

If you contact us via the contact form on the website, by telephone, e-mail or fax, OBLIN will process the personal data provided by you (title, name, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number as well as any other disclosed data and transmitted documents and certificates) for the purpose of processing your request. OBLIN processes this data for the fulfillment of (pre-)contractual obligations or on the basis of legitimate interests.

OBLIN points out that data transmission on the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Passing on of personal data

In order to fulfill your order, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g. opposing parties, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers that I use and to whom we provide data, etc.) or to courts or authorities. Your data will only be forwarded on the basis of the DSGVO, in particular for the fulfillment of your order or on the basis of your prior consent.

In the context of my legal representation and support, it is also regularly necessary to obtain factual and case-related information from you from third parties. This is all in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations.

Web analytics services (tracking)

For statistical evaluation of the site visits we included  “Matomo”. This is an open-source Web analysis tool. Your data is stored on our web server and is not passed on to third parties; the IP address is anonymized before further processing. The Matomo setting "Force tracking without cookies" is also used so that no cookies are set.

Server log files

For operational security reasons, the hosting provider collects data about access to the site and stores them as server log files. These log files are stored for four weeks and then deleted. 

TLS encryption with https

We use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for “secure hypertext transfer protocol”) to transfer data over the internet in a tap-proof way.

This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured – no one can “listen in”.

Thus, we have implemented an additional layer of security and fulfill data protection by design of technology Article 25(1) DSGVO). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.

You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser to the left of the Internet address (e.g., beispielseite.de) and the use of the scheme https (instead of http) as part of our Internet address.

Duration of storage of personal data

OBLIN stores your data only as long as I need them to fulfill the purposes already outlined and my contractual or legal obligations. If your personal data is no longer needed, it will be deleted or anonymized so that you can no longer be identified. OBLIN will not keep data longer than necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual or legal obligations and for the defense of any liability claims.

Data security

The protection of your personal data is ensured by appropriate technical and organizational security measures. Despite all efforts, however, it cannot be ruled out that information OBLIN receives from you via the Internet can be viewed by third parties. Therefore, OBLIN cannot assume any liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by me and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. hacking of the e-mail account).

Information, change of data and deletion

As a data subject, you have the right to information at any time, about the personal data processed by OBLIN about you.

You also have the right to correct incorrect data and, under certain circumstances, to delete your data. If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you may revoke your consent to the processing of personal data with effect for the future. You may have the right to obtain the personal data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the possibility to contact a data protection supervisory authority with your possible complaint (in Austria: Austrian Data Protection Authority).

Insofar as there are changes to your personal data, OBLIN requests that you notify me accordingly.

Your rights

You have the rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation, and opposition. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in a way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.

Data mishaps

OBLIN strives to ensure that data breaches are identified at an early stage and, if necessary, reported immediately to you or the competent supervisory authority, including the respective categories of data involved.
