Privacy Policy

1. Personal Data

We, Kinner Korenjak LAW (i.e. Mr Dr Wolfgang Kinner and Ms Dr Ingrid Korenjak, legally independent attorneys at law) collect, process and use your personal data only with your consent, mandate or appointment for the purposes agreed with you or if there is another legal basis in accordance with the GDPR; any collection, processing and use of personal data will be conducted in compliance with the data protection and civil law provisions.

Only those personal data are collected which are necessary for the performance and processing of our legal services or which you voluntarily provided to us.

Personal data includes any data that contains details of personal circumstances, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, video recordings, photos, voice recordings of individuals and biometric data such as fingerprints. Sensitive data, such as health data or data related to criminal proceedings, may also be included.

The processing of data in the course of the attorney-client relationship also encompasses the processing of personal data of potential opposing parties, other involved persons and informants. Pursuant to Article 14 paragraph 5 GDPR, we are not obliged to inform the aforementioned group of persons about the data processing.

2. Information and Erasure

As a client (including contact person) or generally as a data subject – while respecting the confidentiality obligation – you are entitled at any time to receive information about your personal data stored, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing. Also, you have a right to rectification, data transfer, opposition, restriction of processing as well as blocking or erasure of incorrect or inadmissibly processed data.

As far as changes of your personal data arise, we ask for appropriate notice.

You are entitled at any time to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data. Your request for information, deletion, correction, opposition and / or data transfer, in the latter case, unless this is a disproportionate effort, may be addressed to the address of the law firm quoted in point 11 of this declaration.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data by us violates the applicable data protection law or your data protection claims have been violated in another way, it is possible to complain to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the data protection authority is competent therefore.

3. Data Security

The protection of your personal data will be facilitated through appropriate organizational and technical precautions. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.

Notwithstanding the efforts to maintain a consistently high level of due diligence, it cannot be ruled out that information you share with us over the Internet will be viewed and used by others.

Please note that we therefore assume no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors not caused by us in data transmission and / or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. hacking on email account or telephone, interception of faxes).

4. Usage of Data

We will not process the information provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the mandate agreement or your consent or otherwise by any provision in accordance with the GDPR. Exempted from this is the use for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided have been anonymized.

5. Transfer of Data to Third Persons

In order to fulfill our contractual obligations towards you it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g. counterparty, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers whom we use and to whom we provide data, etc.) courts or authorities. Our data processors, i.e. IT service providers and providers of data management systems for lawyer software including cloud solutions, process your data according to our specifications. A forwarding of your data takes place exclusively on basis of the GDPR, in particular for the fulfillment of your order or on the basis of your prior consent.

Furthermore, we inform you that as part of our legal representation and support regularly subject-related and case-related information from you are obtained from third parties.

Some of the above mentioned recipients of your personal information are located outside your country or process your personal information there. The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as Austria’s. However, we exclusively transfer your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection, or we take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection, which includes standard contractual clauses (2010/87 / EC and / or 2004/915 / EC).

6. Announcement of Data Breaches

We will endeavor to ensure that any data breaches are detected early and, where appropriate, promptly reported to you or the relevant regulatory authority, including information on the relevant data categories involved.

7. Storage of Data

We will not store data for longer than is necessary to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations and to avert any possible liability claims.
