Only those personal data are collected that are necessary for the execution and processing of the tasks and services or that you have voluntarily provided to us.

If you are a party to the proceedings, legal representative, partner, organ or employee, we process your personal data because this is necessary to fulfill the contract concluded with you (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Insofar as there is a legal (in particular tax law) obligation, we process your data on the basis of this legal obligation (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
In addition, we process your personal data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest to achieve the purposes mentioned under point 1 (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f and Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. g GDPR).
As far as we collect the personal data from you, the provision is voluntary and can be revoked at any time. To fulfill an order placed, the provision of the data may, however, be contractually or legally required. In this case, the non-provision can have negative consequences for you (financial offenses, withdrawal of a contract partner from a contract, consequences of default, obligations to pay compensation, etc.).
If we have not collected your data from you, they are subject to professional secrecy within the meaning of Art. 14 Para. 5 lit. d GDPR and must be treated confidentially, which is why there is no obligation to notify within the meaning of Art 14 GDPR.

4. Disclosure of data to third parties (transmission)
In principle, we do not make your personal data available to others. However, to fulfill your order or for legal reasons, it is necessary to forward your data to third parties.
These can be courts, other authorities, legal representatives, as well as recipients designated by the parties or other third parties involved (including processors who work for us).
In this case, your data will only be passed on on the basis of the GDPR (based on your consent, to fulfill a contract, to fulfill a legal obligation, etc.).
We also point out that we may transmit your personal data to recipients (see above) outside of Austria. However, we only transmit your personal data on the basis of the GDPR (appropriate level of data protection or the implementation of measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection).

This period is 30 years.
