Privacy Policy

(Information pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR)

​

Name and contact details of the Controller pursuant to Article 4(7) GDPR:

Dr. Martin Cvikl, attorney-at-law, Getreidemarkt 1, 1060 Wien, office@cvikl.law

 

Purpose and Legal Basis of Data Processing:

The processing of your personal data primarily serves the provision of legal services, in particular for the performance of contractual obligations (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) within the scope of the attorney-client relationship or for compliance with legal or professional obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).

 

Only data that is necessary for the performance of legal services or that you have voluntarily provided will be collected. The primary legal basis for processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal remains unaffected. Furthermore, the processing based on other legal grounds, in particular for the performance of contractual or legal obligations (Article 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR), is not affected by the withdrawal of consent.

​

Recipients or Categories of Recipients of Personal Data:

Data will not be disclosed to third parties unless necessary to achieve the stated purposes or required by law. Depending on the individual case, the following recipients may be considered:

​

  • other clients, courts, authorities, opposing parties, other participants in proceedings, insurance companies, and banks, insofar as this is necessary for the handling of legal matters

  • cooperation partners (attorneys, tax advisors, auditors, experts), insofar as this is necessary for the handling of legal matters

  • the competent Bar Association (Rechtsanwaltskammer) for the fulfilment of legal and professional obligations, particularly in the context of escrow services

  • IT-service providers or providers of file management software, insofar as this is necessary for the proper operation of the IT-infrastructure

  • the attorney’s tax advisor or external accounting services, insofar as required to fulfil fiscal documentation obligations

​

Source of the Collected Data:

In most cases, the data is collected directly from the client. However, it may also be obtained from other sources, such as websites, company registers, land registers, or by accessing files at authorities or courts. This processing is necessary for the proper performance of the attorney-client relationship.

​

Duration of Data Storage:

In principle, data is stored only as long as necessary to fulfil contractual and legal obligations. In accordance with legal professional obligations, files are retained for at least five years. Where required to comply with tax-related retention obligations, data is stored for the statutory period, generally seven years. In the case of a legitimate interest, the attorney is entitled to retain data for a longer period (e.g. for the assertion or defence of specific legal claims).

​

Obligation to Provide Data:

In the context of an attorney-client relationship, you are required to provide the data necessary for the provision of legal services or data the attorney is legally or professionally obliged to collect. Without this data, entering into a client relationship is not possible.
