Data protection

Fachanwalt-Sportrecht.de | 100% sport

 

Dear clients, esteemed visitors,

 

Since the protection of your privacy is important to me, Marc Patrick Schneider (hereinafter " MPS "), as the operator of the website "Fachanwalt-Sportrecht.de" and the data controller within the meaning of Article 4 No. 7 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR), I would like to inform you in detail about the handling of and your rights regarding your personal data that is processed in connection with the use of my website.

 

This website can generally be used without providing personal data and without cookies. If personal data is collected (e.g., via the contact form or email), this is done on a voluntary basis.

 

Personal data is processed only to the extent permitted by law. Disclosure of personal data occurs exclusively in the cases expressly described below. Personal data is deleted or protected by technical measures (e.g., anonymization) as soon as the purpose of processing no longer applies. This also occurs when a prescribed retention period expires, unless further storage of the personal data is necessary for another purpose. Unless there is a legal obligation to store data for a longer period or to disclose it to third parties (especially law enforcement agencies), the decision as to which personal data is processed depends on which functions of the website you use in each individual case and what information you voluntarily submit, particularly via the contact form or by email.

 

Data will not be shared for advertising or other commercial purposes.

Privacy Policy

1. Type and scope of the collection and processing of personal data

Data protection definitions

 

Please note that all terms used in this privacy policy are those of the EU GDPR. The definitions in Article 4 of the GDPR can be viewed at any time, for example, at dejure.org.

 

Personal data, as defined in Article 4 No. 1 of the EU GDPR, includes, among other things, information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, address, telephone number, and all data that you voluntarily provide to us via the contact form or by email.

 

Data processing when the website is used for purely informational purposes

 

Even if you access and use fachanwalt-sportrecht.de (including subpages) purely for informational purposes (e.g., via the "Blog"), i.e., without using additional functions such as a contact form, personal data is automatically collected. This includes the following information: the IP address of your device and the date and time of access to the website. This information is transmitted by your browser unless you have configured it to suppress the transmission of this information.

 

The processing of this personal data is carried out to ensure the functionality and optimization of the website(s), and also to guarantee the security of the information technology systems. This constitutes the legitimate interest, which is why the processing is permissible under Article 6(1)(f) of the EU GDPR.

 

Personal data is stored for a maximum of four weeks and is not combined with other data sources. Disclosure only occurs to the extent necessary for the operation of the website(s), e.g., storage with our hosting provider. Transfer to a third country or an international organization is not intended.

 

Further data processing when using the site, in particular the contact form

 

Furthermore, personal data is transmitted by your browser or email client and processed in our IT systems if you voluntarily provide it to MPS when entering information in the contact form or via email. The specific data collected is evident from the respective input form fields or depends on what you voluntarily provide in the text field of the contact form or via email. For inquiries submitted via the contact form, your IP address, as well as the date and time of your inquiry, are always stored.

 

The data you provide will be collected and processed solely for the purpose of enabling an initial assessment of your case, preparing for a consultation, concluding or processing a mandate (contractual relationship), preventing misuse of the contact form, and ensuring the security of my IT systems. This processing is lawful because responding to your inquiry and protecting the information technology systems constitute legitimate interests within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If you subsequently engage my services after contacting me, the processing is also lawful pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

 

After the contractual relationship has been fully completed, your data will be blocked from further use and then deleted after the statutory (including professional) retention periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data (e.g., via my general terms and conditions of engagement), or further data use has been expressly reserved, which is legally permitted and about which we have informed you in advance below. If no client relationship is established, the personal data will be routinely deleted no later than twelve months after the conclusion of the contract, unless there is express consent for further data processing.

 

If you wish to object, in whole or in part, to the collection, processing, or use of your data in accordance with these provisions, you are free to submit an objection to MPS at any time. The contact details for submitting your objection, which can also be done in written form (e.g., email), are summarized in the legal notice.

 

Furthermore, you can obtain information about the stored data free of charge at any time (see "Data Subject Rights").

3. Disclosure of data to third parties

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the processing of the mandate or a consultation request or for the enforcement of our claims and rights, if it concerns requests from public authorities, in particular law enforcement and regulatory authorities, and if disclosure is necessary to avert dangers to public safety and order and to prosecute criminal offenses and/or if there is another legal obligation to do so.

4. Rights of data subjects

a) Right of access, Art. 15 GDPR


You can request confirmation as to whether your personal data is being processed; however, before any information is disclosed, this may be subject to proof of identity, where necessary.

  • Purpose(s) of data processing

As the data controller, I am entitled to provide you with a copy of all processed data in a common electronic format (e.g., PDF, DOC, RTF, etc.). However, I may refuse to process requests if they are offensive/harassing, infringe on the personal rights of others, are extremely impractical, or if providing information is not otherwise permitted under the applicable legal system.

 

In the exceptional case that information should be refused, you will be informed of the reasons for this refusal.

 

b) Right to rectification, Art. 16 GDPR

In the event that your personal data is processed incorrectly or incompletely, you may request its correction or completion at any time. This can be done, among other things, by submitting a supplementary statement by mail, email, or fax. If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, MPS is obligated to restrict the processing of the disputed data ("blocking"). The blocking will remain in effect until it has been determined whether the data in question is correct or incorrect.

 

c) Right to restriction of processing, Article 18 GDPR

You can request a restriction of the processing of your personal data if

  • They dispute the accuracy of the data,
  • unlawful processing has occurred, but you prefer restriction rather than erasure,
  • the data are no longer needed for the purposes of processing, but you require this data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  • You have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, and it is not yet clear whose interests prevail.

 

During the blocking period, your personal data may only be processed with your consent, with the exception of storage. You may refuse to give your consent. Processing may also occur without your consent if it is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of rights, or for reasons of important public interest. You will be informed before the block is lifted and your data is processed.

 

d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), Art. 17 GDPR

You can request the immediate deletion of your data if the purpose for processing it no longer exists. The same applies if you withdraw your consent or if there is no longer another legal basis for processing the data. Furthermore, you can object to the processing of your data at any time. MPS, as the data controller, is also obligated to delete your data if there are overriding legitimate grounds. A reason for deletion also exists if personal data has been processed unlawfully or if deletion is required by Union or national law.

 

You have the right to access your personal data. You can request its deletion by mail, email, or fax using the contact details provided in the legal notice. You will not incur any costs other than standard postage or transmission fees (if applicable). Your request will be processed immediately, and at the latest within one month.

If personal data has been published in such a case, the relevant third parties will also be informed about the deletion request.

 

There is no obligation to erase data if processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, or if it conflicts with overriding public interests in the area of ​​public health. There is also no obligation to erase data if processing is necessary for compliance with a national legal obligation and is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of a task carried out in the public interest. Erasure will also not occur if processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. This also applies if the data is required for archiving, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes, and the fulfillment of these purposes would be seriously impaired or rendered impossible without the data being erased.

 

e) Right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR

You can request that your personal data, which was processed based on your consent or for the performance of a contract (mandate), be provided to you as a copy in a commonly used, structured, and machine-readable format, or—where technically feasible—transmitted directly to another provider. This can be done, for example, via a direct download. Data transmission will not be hindered in any way.

 

You can request data transfer by mail, email, or fax. You will incur no costs other than standard postage or transmission fees. Your request will be processed immediately, and at the latest within one month of receipt. If your request is rejected, you will receive an explanation.
