DEData protection
1. personal data
Velvety Manufaktur GmbH collects, processes and uses your personal data only with your consent or mandate or order for the purposes agreed with you or if there is another legal basis in accordance with the GDPR; this is done in compliance with data protection and civil law provisions.
We only collect personal data that is necessary for the performance and processing of our legal services or that you have provided to us voluntarily.
Personal data is all data that contains individual details about personal or factual circumstances, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, video recordings, photos, voice recordings of people and biometric data such as fingerprints. Sensitive data such as health data or data in connection with criminal proceedings may also be included.
2. information and deletion
As a user or generally as a data subject, you have the right to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing as well as a right to rectification, data transfer, objection, restriction of processing and blocking or erasure of incorrect or inadmissibly processed data at any time, subject to compliance with the duty of confidentiality imposed on lawyers.
If there are any changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly.
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Your request for information, deletion, correction, objection and/or data transfer, in the latter case, provided that this does not cause a disproportionate effort, can be sent to the address of the law firm stated in point 10 of this declaration.
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 claims have been violated in any other way, you have the option of complaining to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the data protection authority is responsible for this.
3. data security
Your personal data is protected by taking appropriate organizational and technical precautions. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.
Notwithstanding our efforts to maintain an appropriately high level of due diligence at all times, it cannot be ruled out that information that you disclose to us via the Internet may be viewed and used by other persons.
Please note that we therefore accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. hacking attack on email account or telephone, interception of faxes).
4. use of the data
We will not process the data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the mandate agreement or by your consent or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the GDPR. An exception to this is the use for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided has been anonymized.
5. transmission of data to third parties
In order to fulfill your order, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g. counterparties, substitutes, insurance companies, service providers that we use and to whom we make data available, etc.), courts or authorities. Your data will only be forwarded on the basis of the GDPR, in particular to fulfill your order or on the basis of your prior consent.
Furthermore, we would like to inform you that in the course of our legal representation and support, you will also regularly receive factual and case-related information from third parties.
Some of the recipients of your personal data mentioned above are located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as in Austria. However, we only 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, for which we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).
6. disclosure of data breaches
We endeavor to ensure that data breaches are identified at an early stage and, if necessary, reported immediately to you or the competent supervisory authority, taking into account the respective data categories that are affected.
7. storage of the data
We will not store data for longer than is necessary to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations and to defend against any liability claims.
8. cookies
This website uses “cookies” to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure.
A “cookie” is a small text file that we transmit via our web server to the cookie file of the browser on the hard disk of your computer. This enables our website to recognize you as a user when a connection is established between our web server and your browser. Cookies help us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our website. The content of the cookies we use is limited to an identification number that can no longer be traced back to the user. The main purpose of a cookie is to recognize visitors to the website.
Two types of cookies are used on this website:
Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave our website and are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.
Persistent cookies: For better user-friendliness, cookies remain stored on your end device and allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
9. server log files
In order to optimize this website in terms of system performance, user-friendliness and the provision of useful information about our services, the website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes your internet protocol address (IP address), browser and language setting, operating system, referrer URL, your internet service provider and date/time.
The legal basis for processing is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring system security, technical administration of the website and optimizing service quality.
This data is not merged with personal data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
10. use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service (analysis tracking tool) of the American company Google Inc. For the European area, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, is responsible for all Google services. Cookies are text files that are stored on your end device and enable your use of this website to be analyzed. This data is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest in order to create easy-to-use website access statistics in a cost-efficient manner (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The information generated in this way about your use of our website (including your anonymized IP address and the URLs of the web pages accessed) is usually transmitted to servers in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can deactivate the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. In this case, however, we expressly point out that this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
