What are personal data?
Personal data are data that enable the identification of a person. These are, amongst others, their name, their residential or e-mail address, their date of birth and IP address.
How, which and for what purpose is data collected?
Data is collected and processed in different ways and for different purposes, depending on whether the data relates to clients, newsletter recipients, business partners, applicants or website visitors.

In order to carry out and process our legal services, we collect and store personal data that you have voluntarily provided us with, such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, gender, social security number, tax number, bank account number, photos, data related to your health and possibly biometric data.
We process your personal data to fulfil our contractual obligations within the framework of the client relationship, to fulfil other legal obligations, and/or on the basis of justified interests (advertising purposes in particular), unless your interest in confidentiality outweigh these.

We collect the personal data provided by HSP Rechtsanwälte GmbH’s applicants, who apply in writing or via the direct option on our website, that is necessary for the handling of the application process and the inclusion in our list of applicants. For this purpose, we record their first and last name, academic degree, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, nationality, language skills and any additional qualifications.

- Data processing for visitors to the office premises in Schwedenplatz 2/22, 1010 Vienna
We also process your data for the purpose of self-protection (protection of property and employees, and the fulfilment of traffic safety obligations) as well as for the purpose of prevention and clarification of criminally relevant behaviour in the form of encrypted video surveillance. This data is evaluated exclusively for these purposes.
The data is stored for up to 72 hours. Longer storage is only intended in the course of a legal dispute, in which case the data is stored until said dispute has been settled. Your data will not be passed on to recipients who would use this data for their own purposes, but only to competent authorities and courts (for reasons of preservation of evidence or to enforce claims), to insurance companies (to process insurance claims), and to lawyers and other private or public bodies for the purpose of legal enforcement. A transfer to recipients in a third country or to an international organisation is not intended. Irrespective of the data subject's rights to which you are entitled (see point 9. Data subject's rights), it should be noted that there is no right to data transfer here.
How long is personal data stored?
We only store personal data for as long as we need it in order to fulfil the purposes described above, and to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations.
The storage of this data is also carried out for evidence purposes, considering the limitation periods, or as long as a claim (liability) can be filed.
Transfer of data to third parties (transmission)
As a matter of principle, we do not make your personal data available to third parties. However, it may be necessary to pass on your data to trustworthy third parties in order to carry out your mandate, or for legal reasons. These may be courts or authorities or other third parties involved (including tax consultants, banks, IT service providers, contract processors working for us). In this case, your data will be passed on exclusively according to the regulations of the DSGVO (on the basis of your consent, for the purpose of fulfilling a contract, or fulfilling a legal obligation, etc.).
Data security
We have taken state-of-the-art organisational and technical precautions to ensure the protection of your personal data (protection against misuse, both internally and externally, e.g. through firewalls, encryptions, access authorisations, etc.). However, it cannot be ruled out that information may be viewed or used by others because of errors in data transmission, not caused by us or unauthorized access by third parties (hackers, etc.). We do not accept any liability for this, provided that this misuse was not culpably caused by us.
What rights do data subjects have?
You have the right to be informed about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correction, objection, data transmission, restriction of processing and blocking, or deletion of incorrect/impermissibly processed data.
You also have the right to revoke any consent you may have given to the use of your personal data at any time. In order to assert your rights as a data subject (information, deletion, correction, objection and/or data transfer [unless the data transfer involves disproportionate effort]), please contact office@hsp.solutions.
Complaint to the data protection authority
If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates the applicable data protection law, or your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you have the possibility to complain to the responsible supervisory authority.
The competent supervisory authority is the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna, email: dsp@dsb.gv.at.
