II. General information on data processing

Concept of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour on our website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. by anonymising the information, is not personal data.

Scope of the processing of personal data

We only process our users’ personal data to the extent necessary to provide and optimise a functional website and our content and services.

The processing of our users’ personal data only takes place regularly with your consent. An exception applies in cases where the processing of data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transfer) always requires a legal basis or your consent.

Insofar as we obtain consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to pre-contractual measures.

In other cases, we refer to a legitimate interest in processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data erasure and duration of storage

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies.

III. Provision of the website and creation of log files (log files)

Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is logged:

Information about the browser type and version used
the user’s operating system
IP address of the user and the requesting provider
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website are stored as referrers
Name of the website accessed
Amount of data transferred

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 3 BDSG.

Purpose of data processing

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. We only use the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the website as well as for other administrative purposes. However, we reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.

Duration of storage
As soon as the aforementioned data is no longer required to display the website, it is deleted. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object. Further storage may take place in individual cases if this is required by law. If log files are checked on suspicion of unlawful use, the data will be deleted as soon as the check has been completed.
Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

IV. Contact options on our website (contact forms, surveys, e-mail, etc.)

We provide you with various options for contacting us. All information that is collected when you contact us is necessary at the time in order to be able to provide you with our services.

Type, purpose and scope of data processing

It is possible to contact us using the contact form/survey, by e-mail or by telephone. The user’s details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry.

If you contact us by e-mail, the personal data you send us with this e-mail will be stored.

If you contact us by telephone, the telephone number from which the call was made and the date of the telephone call will be stored.

In addition, the information you have provided to us during the telephone call will be stored if this is necessary to answer and further process your enquiry.

We also provide contact forms/surveys on our website. The data requested in the contact form may vary depending on the subject area. The provision of this data is largely voluntary. Among other things, we need the data to provide you with an initial, indicative rough assessment of your request and/or to be able to match your enquiry to the appropriate cooperation partners as comprehensively and individually as possible.

Legal basis

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b, f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the aforementioned data processing. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest in communicating with website visitors and to prepare or provide the contractually agreed service.

Insofar as the user’s consent has been obtained, the processing of the personal data described is also based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Duration of storage
The duration of the storage of the above-mentioned data depends on the background of your contact. Your data will be deleted regularly if the purpose of the communication no longer applies and storage is no longer necessary.

V. Comments and forum questions

Type, purpose and scope of data processing

When users leave comments under our posts or questions in the forum (currently optional), we store the following data: Name, e-mail address, IP address

We store your IP address and email address in order to protect ourselves against illegal content (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.) in comments and posts. In this case, we ourselves may be prosecuted for the comment or post, which is why we have a legitimate interest in determining the identity of the author.

We also use the e-mail address to answer your enquiry if this is not possible in the forum. The e-mail address is not published and does not have to be confirmed, so the user can also use an alternative e-mail address. We would like to point out that in this case it may not be possible to answer the question further. We also save the name to answer the enquiry.

Legal basis

Duration of storage

The duration of the storage of the above-mentioned data depends on the background of your contact. The comments and responses also serve in particular to educate and inform other website visitors. Your data will be deleted on a regular basis if the purpose of providing information and clarification no longer applies and storage is no longer necessary. We will also delete your comment as quickly as possible if you request this by sending an email to info@abfindungshero.com stating your comment.

Type, purpose and scope of data processing

We store the following data for the registration to our regular newsletter:

Title, surname, first name, e-mail address

The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the correct dispatch of the newsletter. If you do not wish to provide your title and thus your gender, we will take this into account.

Subscription to the newsletter is voluntary and only takes place with the user’s consent. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either via a link at the end of each newsletter or by sending your unsubscribe request by email to info@abfindungshero.com.

Legal basis

The legal basis for data processing is the voluntarily granted consent of the recipient in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Duration of storage

The duration of storage of the above-mentioned data depends on how long you wish to receive the newsletter. Your data will be deleted as soon as you unsubscribe from the newsletter or as soon as we stop sending the newsletter without any alternative.

VII. Lawyer referral service

Type, purpose and scope of data processing

On our website, we give you the opportunity to find a partner lawyer / law firm for specific subject areas. For this purpose, we ask for your e-mail address and your name using a survey. When you use the survey, the following data is always processed in addition to the data you enter:

Date and time of the request,

Notification of whether the retrieval was successful.

Your consent to our privacy policy and terms and conditions.

Subsequently, you can provide us with further information and, if applicable, documents that describe your legal concern, in particular to support a claim or enable the defence of a claim. This information, documents and records may contain various personal data, which we store upon receipt. In future, we may provide the option of making files directly available to us via an upload function on our website. In order to prevent misuse, your IP address and the date and time will be stored and assigned to the file in addition to the uploaded file. In future, we will also ask for your e-mail address, name and telephone number in the upload form. The data provided will be stored together with the file and can therefore be assigned to the file.

Legal basis

The legal basis for data processing is the voluntarily granted consent of the recipient pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and/or the authorisation to prepare and execute a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the performance of our service. We also use the e-mail address or telephone number to provide the user with information on the further process.

Duration of storage

The uploaded files will be deleted as soon as the reason for storing them no longer applies, but not before the legally prescribed storage period has expired.

VIII. Forwarding of data to partner lawyers

Type, purpose and scope of data processing

It is also part of our service that your data (at your request) will be forwarded by us to a partner lawyer / law firm suitable for handling the matter. As part of the initial telephone consultation with one of our partner lawyers or law firms, we require certain personal data from you (mandatory information); you can also provide us with further data (voluntary information). We will then transmit this data to one of our partner lawyers or law firms, who will use it to prepare and conduct the initial telephone consultation (e.g. by contacting you by email, text message, WhatsApp, etc.).

If, after your free initial consultation, you decide to seek further legal advice / mandate and instruct one of our partner lawyers, a separate legal advice contract (mandate) will be concluded between you and the partner lawyer / law firm. As a rule, a separate data protection declaration will apply here.

However, your partner lawyer/law firm may also participate in our programme for the ongoing improvement of our product (e.g. optimisation of the survey design, our marketing campaigns, etc.). In individual cases, this may make it necessary for your partner lawyer/law firm to also transmit personal data to us – (only) about the mandate in terms of reason and amount (turnover). AbfindungsHero collects and processes this data in order to improve our product and marketing measures. No other personal data is transmitted to AbfindungsHero, in particular no case-related data that is subject to the lawyer’s duty of confidentiality.

Legal basis

The legal basis for data processing is the voluntarily granted consent of the recipient pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and/or the authorisation to prepare and execute a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the performance of our service. We also use the e-mail address and/or telephone number to provide the user with information on the further process.

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as the reason for storing it no longer applies, but not before the legally prescribed storage period has expired.

IX. Use of cookies

Description, purpose and scope of data processing
We use “cookies” on our website. Cookies are files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device and stored there when you visit our website. Cookies enable us to improve the convenience and quality of the website service, for example by saving user settings. Cookies are able, for example, to recognise the browser you use when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of technically necessary cookies.

In the future, we may participate in performance advertising networks. As part of its tracking services, these networks store cookies on the end devices of users who visit or use websites or other online offers of its customers (e.g. register for a newsletter or place an order in an online shop) to document transactions (e.g. leads and sales). These cookies serve the sole purpose of correctly allocating the success of an advertising medium and the corresponding billing within its network.

If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programmes or contain viruses.

Persistent cookies are also used on our website. These cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period. The duration may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time via your browser settings.

The use of these cookies serves to make our website more effective and user-friendly for you and contributes to a secure and compliant use of the website. Some of the functions of our website make it necessary for your browser to be identified even after a page change. However, this is never used to create individual user profiles. Insofar as we use cookies for analysis purposes, this serves to improve the quality of the content of our website. Cookies enable us to track how often and in what way the website, computers and other functions are used. This enables us to continuously optimise our offering.

As the cookies are stored on your end device and transmitted to our server by it, you can configure the processing of data and information about cookies yourself using your browser settings. For example, you can delete cookies manually or reject them altogether. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of the website properly. If you would like a comprehensive overview of all third-party access to your Internet browser, we recommend that you install specially developed plug-ins for this purpose.

Legal basis for data processing
The use of cookies is based on your consent on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Duration of storage, right to object and right to erasure
The cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.

X. Disclosure of data to other third parties

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or
if there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR or
this is permitted by law and is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the fulfilment of a contractual relationship or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures following your request or
the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary to safeguard legitimate company interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data, or
the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

Unless otherwise stated here, the data is passed on to companies and/or services that process the data in the EU. These are data analysis companies and advertising service providers. The companies/services either act as contract data processors for us or are jointly responsible with us.

In particular, personal data of the user may be passed on to third parties for the purpose of market research, information about products and services and for the purpose of advertising after consent has been given and recorded in our privacy policy by ticking the corresponding box. The transfer of data to third parties or our cooperation partners takes place exclusively for information about products and services of our cooperation lawyers and for the optimisation of our advertising campaigns. The consent given to the forwarding of data by ticking the box can of course be revoked at any time by sending written notification to the addresses listed under 1.

Below you will find an overview of companies and/or services with which we exchange personal data. The companies/services either act as contract data processors for us or are jointly responsible with us. Insofar as data is transferred to third countries, the data transfer is secured by contractual provisions that guarantee an appropriate level of protection within the meaning of the GDPR:

Google Analytics

On our website we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on the user’s computer and which enable the use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, the IP address of Google users within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area will be shortened beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. IP anonymisation is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on their browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

The use of Google Analytics enables us to statistically record the use of our website by visitors. The information obtained from this helps us to improve and further develop our online offering. We therefore have a legitimate interest in using the tracking tool. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can find more information on Google’s terms of use and data protection at: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

Google Ads

We use the online advertising programme “Google Ads” and conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). When you click on an advert placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.

If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible for cookies to be tracked via the websites of Ads customers.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create so-called conversion statistics. This is used to track and measure the success of adverts placed via Google Ads. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ and http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Information on how you can block certain adverts on Google can be found at: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de and at: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996

Google Maps

On our website, we use the offer of “Google Maps”, an online map service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as: “Google”). This makes it possible to display interactive maps directly on the website and thus communicate our location. When you visit our website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. Your IP address will be transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether you have a Google user account that you are logged in to or whether you do not have a user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of Google. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customised website design. Such an analysis is also carried out for users who are not logged in and is used in particular to provide customised advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website.

We use Google Maps to show you interactive maps from Google Maps and thus provide you with a better user experience of our website. This is also our legitimate interest.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, in which case you must contact Google.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

YouTube

On our website, we use “YouTube”, a social plug-in from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as: “Google”), to integrate content from the social platform YouTube on web pages of our website. We use the so-called “Shariff solution”. This means that when you visit our website, no personal data is initially passed on to Google. You can recognise the provider of the plug-in by the marking on the greyed-out box using the initial letter. Only when you click on the plug-in will personal data be transmitted. By activating the plug-in, data is automatically transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Google stores this data as a user profile and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising its websites. Such an analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. Please contact Google directly for this purpose.

We use YouTube to display and offer you content and functions of the YouTube social platform on our website and thereby improve our offering and the user experience and make it more interesting.

This is also our legitimate interest in processing the above information.

If you wish to prevent the transfer of data, you cannot use the YouTube functions. Irrespective of this, we recommend that you regularly log out of your user account after using a social network, especially before activating integrated content, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the respective provider.

MailChimp

We use the MailChimp service from the provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. When a contact form is sent, the email address provided and other data contained in the contact form is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and analyse emails with further information about our services on our behalf. However, MailChimp will never use your e-mail address to write to you or pass it on to third parties. You can find MailChimp’s privacy policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.

The emails sent by Mailchimp contain a so-called beacon pixel. This pixel-sized file is retrieved by the MailChimp server when the email is opened. Technical information, such as information about the browser used and the recipient’s system, as well as the IP address and the time of retrieval are collected. We can retrieve this information and use it to analyse the reading behaviour of recipients, which serves the purpose of measuring success in order to improve the quality of the emails we send.

We do not use the information collected to create user profiles or to observe individual users. Instead, we use the analysis to recognise the reading habits of users and to tailor the content of the emails we send to the interests of the recipients. This enables us to make the content of the newsletter even more interesting in future.

Meta (Facebook and Whatsapp)

Our site uses the Facebook pixel, also known as the “conversion pixel” or visitor action pixel, from Meta, Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA (“Facebook”). When you visit our site, your browser loads this pixel. As a result, Facebook can recognise whether a Facebook ad was successful, e.g. whether it led to a certain interaction on our site. This data is anonymised by Facebook and made available to us without reference to a specific person. We can use this statistical data to analyse the effectiveness of Facebook ads and record it for market research purposes. If you are registered with Facebook in particular, we also refer you to their data protection information, which you can view at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can revoke your consent to the Facebook pixel at www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

In addition, we and our partner lawyers use the “Whatsapp” service of the company Meta (a.a.o.) to prepare telephone contact.

If you have a Twitter profile, Twitter processes the data you entered when creating the profile, such as your name and user name, e-mail address and other voluntary information.

On the other hand, Twitter analyses the content you share to determine what topics you are interested in and can determine your location in order to send you advertising or other content tailored to your interests.

If you have consented to marketing cookies, Twitter will set a cookie even if you have not created an account.
