  1. Pro­ces­sing, e.g. coll­ec­tion and sto­rage of per­so­nal data, as well as type and pur­po­se of their use

 

2.1 When you visit our website

When you open our web­site www.stelter-berlin.de, infor­ma­ti­on is auto­ma­ti­cal­ly sent to our website’s ser­ver by the brow­ser used on your ter­mi­nal. This infor­ma­ti­on is stored tem­po­r­a­ri­ly, in a log file. The fol­lo­wing infor­ma­ti­on is recor­ded auto­ma­ti­cal­ly and retai­ned until auto­ma­ti­cal­ly erased.

  • IP address of the reques­t­ing computer,
  • Date and time of access,
  • Name and URL of the retrie­ved file,
    • Web­site from which our web­site was acces­sed (refer­rer URL),
    • Brow­ser used and, if appli­ca­ble, your computer’s ope­ra­ting sys­tem and

the name of your access provider.

We pro­cess the­se data for the fol­lo­wing purposes:
• To ensu­re that a smooth con­nec­tion to the web­site is established,
• To ensu­re that our web­site is user-friendly,
• For ana­ly­sing sys­tem secu­ri­ty and stability
• For other admi­nis­tra­ti­ve purposes.

 

The legal basis for data pro­ces­sing is point (f) of the first sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR. Our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest ari­ses from the data coll­ec­tion pur­po­ses lis­ted abo­ve. We will never use the coll­ec­ted data for the pur­po­se of attri­bu­ting data to you personally.

 

2.2 For inqui­ries and mandates

 

If you cont­act or man­da­te us, we coll­ect the fol­lo­wing information:

•       Title, first name, and last name

•       A valid email address

•       A pos­tal address

•       Pho­ne num­ber (land­li­ne and mobile)

•       Date and place of birth

•       Natio­na­li­ty

•       Marital status

•       ID data

•       Tax ID

•       Account data

•       And other infor­ma­ti­on that is neces­sa­ry for the asser­ti­on and defence of your rights in the frame­work of the mandate.

 

This data is collected:

•       To enable you to be iden­ti­fied as our client

•       To be able to appro­pria­te­ly advi­se and repre­sent you as counsel

•       To tran­sact and hand­le nota­ri­al processes

•       For cor­re­spon­dence with you

•       For invoicing

•       For pro­ces­sing any lia­bi­li­ty claims as well as the asser­ti­on of any claims against you

 

The data is pro­ces­sed based on your request, and so pro­ces­sing is neces­sa­ry for the sta­ted pur­po­ses in accordance with point b) of the second sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR: Reasonable pro­ces­sing of the man­da­te and for the mutu­al ful­film­ent of obli­ga­ti­ons ari­sing from the man­da­te contract.

 

The per­so­nal data we coll­ect for the man­da­ting pro­cess will be stored until the expiry of the sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on peri­od – for lawy­ers, gene­ral­ly six years after the end of the calen­dar year in which the man­da­te was ter­mi­na­ted; and for nota­ries, seven years after the end of the calen­dar year in which the man­da­te was ter­mi­na­ted – and then era­sed, unless point c) of the first sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR requi­res us to uphold a lon­ger sto­rage peri­od due to tax and com­mer­cial law reten­ti­on and docu­men­ta­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons (ari­sing from the Ger­man Com­mer­cial Code, the Ger­man Cri­mi­nal Code, or the Ger­man Reve­nue Code), or you have con­sen­ted to sto­rage going bey­ond this in accordance with point a) of the first sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR.

 

Nota­ries func­tion as public bodies of sta­te, and are sub­ject to various legal obli­ga­ti­ons (such as tho­se ari­sing from Fede­ral Nota­ry Regu­la­ti­on and the offi­ci­al regu­la­ti­ons for nota­ries) as well as spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons and super­vi­so­ry law (such as the dis­trict court or Supre­me Court, the Fede­ral Cham­ber of Ger­man Civil Law Nota­ries, and the Ber­lin Nota­ry Cham­ber). Data are the­r­e­fo­re coll­ec­ted in accordance with points c) and e) of the first sen­tence of Artic­le (6) (1) GDPR.

 

Nota­ries pro­cess your data in order to ful­fil their respon­si­bi­li­ties as a public body, and in the con­text of pre­ven­ting fraud and money laun­de­ring. In the cour­se of our nota­ri­al acti­vi­ty, it is essen­ti­al for us to check iden­ti­ty and age.

 

To the ext­ent that you have issued us with con­sent for the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data for cer­tain pur­po­ses, such pro­ces­sing is con­side­red legal based on your con­sent. Once issued, con­sent can be with­drawn at any time. This also appli­es in par­ti­cu­lar for the revo­ca­ti­on of decla­ra­ti­ons of con­sent that were issued to us befo­re the EU Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­ti­on came into effect, i.e. befo­re May 5, 2018. Plea­se note that revo­ca­ti­on is not affec­ted by this.

 

  1. Dis­clo­sure of data

 

We do not trans­fer your per­so­nal data to third par­ties for any pur­po­ses other than tho­se lis­ted below.

 

We only for­ward your per­so­nal data to third par­ties if:

 

•   You have given your con­sent the­re­to, pur­su­ant to point (a) of the first sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR,

•   Dis­clo­sure is requi­red pur­su­ant to point (f) of the first sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims, and if no grounds exist to assu­me that you have an over­ri­ding com­pel­ling inte­rest in the non-dis­clo­sure of your data.

•   It is lawful, and requi­red pur­su­ant to point (b) of the first sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR for per­for­mance of a con­tract con­cluded with you, and

•   in the event that a legal obli­ga­ti­on exists pur­su­ant to point © of the first sen­tence of Artic­le 6(1) GDPR

 

If a com­mis­sio­ned data pro­ces­sor (such as a trans­la­ti­on com­pa­ny) is requi­red, it will be ensu­red by means of sepa­ra­te con­tracts (refer­red to as com­mis­sio­ned data pro­ces­sing con­tracts) that your data are sub­ject to the same level of pro­tec­tion with the data pro­ces­sor as they are with us.

 

Att­or­ney-cli­ent pri­vi­le­ge and the nota­ri­al duty of con­fi­den­tia­li­ty shall remain unaf­fec­ted. Inso­far as data are invol­ved which are sub­ject to att­or­ney-cli­ent pri­vi­le­ge or the nota­ri­al duty of con­fi­den­tia­li­ty, they will only be pas­sed on to third par­ties in con­sul­ta­ti­on with you.
