2. Processing when you visit the website or send an enquiry
a) Public website
The website application uses no analytics or tracking services, advertising pixels or visitor profiles. Ordinary page views do not cause this application to set cookies or save visitor identifiers in the browser. Images, fonts and scripts are served by our own website. External map services are opened only when you follow the relevant link.
Your IP address must be processed to deliver the website over the network. The application creates no access logs of its own. Security and operational logs maintained by the hosting provider are separate; their scope and retention depend on the hosting agreement and the selected server configuration. Their purpose is to provide the service securely and protect against misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
b) Contact and callback enquiries
For a callback, we process your name, telephone number and selected topic. For a contact enquiry, we process your name, email address, subject and message. Required fields are marked. These voluntarily supplied details are used solely to deal with your enquiry and are sent by email to the responsible office. The data-minimising default configuration stores no additional copy in the website database. Hosting and email providers may act as processors.
Processing is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where the enquiry concerns entering into or performing a contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Correspondence is kept only as long as needed to deal with the enquiry and meet legal obligations. You may withdraw consent with effect for the future. An enquiry does not establish a lawyer–client relationship. Please do not send confidential details or documents using this form.
c) Security check
Our own security check loads only when requested and uses neither an external CAPTCHA provider nor a session cookie. To prevent repeated submissions, only hashed random challenge identifiers and short-lived aggregate counters are processed. They contain no IP addresses or browser or device data and are not used to recognise visitors. Challenge identifiers expire after ten minutes; expired entries are cleaned up during subsequent form checks. No personal contact details are stored in these check records.
3. Disclosure of data
We do not disclose your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those described here. We disclose data only where:
• you have given explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR;
• disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and there is no reason to assume that your overriding interests require the data not to be disclosed;
• disclosure is required by law under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR; or
• disclosure is permitted by law and necessary to perform a contract with you under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
4. Your rights
You have the following rights:
• Under Article 15 GDPR, you may request access to personal data we process about you. This includes information about the purposes of processing, the categories of data, recipients or categories of recipients, the intended retention period, rights to rectification, erasure, restriction or objection, the right to lodge a complaint, the source of data not collected from you, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, together with meaningful information about it where applicable.
• Under Article 16 GDPR, you may request prompt rectification of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data held by us.
• Under Article 17 GDPR, you may request erasure, unless continued processing is necessary to exercise freedom of expression and information, comply with a legal obligation, fulfil a task in the public interest, or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• Under Article 18 GDPR, you may request restriction of processing where you contest the accuracy of the data, processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure, we no longer need the data but you require them for legal claims, or you have objected under Article 21 GDPR and the relevant assessment is pending.
• Under Article 20 GDPR, you may receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or request their transmission to another controller, subject to the conditions in that Article.
• Under Article 7(3) GDPR, you may withdraw consent at any time. We will then cease the processing based on that consent for the future.
• Under Article 77 GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You can generally contact the authority responsible for your usual residence, place of work or our firm’s location.
5. Right to object
Where we process personal data on the basis of legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object under Article 21 GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation. If processing concerns direct marketing, you may object at any time without giving a particular reason. To withdraw consent or exercise your right to object, email kanzlei@hk-erbrecht.de.
6. Data security
HTTPS/TLS is intended to protect the transmission of the website and form data. The server checks required information, consent, the security challenge and rate limits independently of the browser. Email links are protected against changes to their stored destination. Publicly readable email addresses can nevertheless be copied or extracted automatically. Ordinary email does not provide end-to-end encryption. Please agree a suitable method of transmission with us for confidential documents.
7. Currency and changes to this privacy notice
This privacy notice was supplemented for the custom website implementation on 6 November 2026. Changes to the website, our services, legislation or regulatory requirements may make further updates necessary. You can access and print the current version at any time from the Privacy policy page on this website.
