4. Cookies and server log files
4.1 Cookies
We use cookies on our website. A cookie is a small text file that stores internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. It is downloaded by your internet browser the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit this website with the same terminal device, the cookie and the information stored in it is either sent back to the website that generated it (first party cookie) or sent to another website to which it belongs (third party cookie). As a result, the website recognizes that you have visited before with this browser and, in some cases, varies the content displayed. Some cookies are extremely useful, as they can improve the user experience when you return to a website that you have already visited several times. Provided that you use the same terminal and browser as before, cookies remember, for example, your preferences, communicate how you use a page and adapt the offers displayed to your personal interests and needs.
For details on the cookies used on this website, please refer to the Cookie Policy page.
4.2 Cookie consent
If you delete all your cookies at a later date, it will be necessary to perform the opt-out process again; as well as if you visit this website from other computers. If your security settings are too high and the cookie is blocked, we will not be able to perform your opt-out request. You will be notified in this case and should repeat the opt-out process with lower security settings.
4.3 Server-Log files
In order to optimize our website in terms of system performance, user-friendliness and provision of useful information about our services, the website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes your Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser and language setting, operating system, referrer URL, your Internet service provider and date/time. We do not merge this data with personal data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
4.4 Cookie consent tool
We use the “Real Cookie Banner” consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consent.
5. Transmission of data to third parties
5.1 General Information
Due to the current complexity of certain data processing procedures, it has become essential for us to provide certain services with the cooperation of third parties. For this purpose, we use external service providers, e.g. for web hosting and our IT systems, to whom your data is made available for this purpose. These service providers are processors within the meaning of the GDPR, which we have contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially and to process your data only within the scope of their service provision.
5.2 Transmission of personal data outside of the European Union
If applicable, the possible recipient of your personal data is located outside the European Union or processes your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that in Austria. However, SCHACHNER Rechtsanwalt GmbH will only transfer your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection, or we take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection, for which we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).
5.3 Disclosure of personal data to authorities
In certain circumstances, we may be required by law to disclose your data to, for example, supervisory authorities and law enforcement agencies. However, we will only do so to the extent necessary to prevent and/or detect fraud and other criminal offences or to ensure network and data security.
6. Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that content or services from third-party providers are integrated into our online offering. This integration presupposes that the third-party providers are aware of the IP address of the user, as they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser without the IP address. Your IP address is therefore required to display this content.
Furthermore, the providers of third-party content can set their own cookies and process user data for their own purposes. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We will use this content as sparingly as possible and in a data-avoiding manner and select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.
6.1 Google Maps
Google Maps makes it possible to embed maps directly into websites in order to improve the website. This requires the processing of the user’s IP address and metadata. Cookies or cookie-like technologies can be stored and read. These may contain personal data and technical data such as user IDs, consents, card software settings and security tokens. This data can be used to record websites visited, to compile detailed statistics on user behavior and to improve Google’s services. This data may be linked by Google with the data of users logged in to Google’s websites (e.g. google.com and youtube.com). Google makes personal data available to its affiliated companies, other trusted companies or persons who can process this data on the basis of Google’s instructions and in accordance with Google’s data protection provisions.
Use on the legal basis of: Consent to the processing of personal data, consent to store or access information on the user’s terminal equipment
Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland

We delete the data of applicants whom we do not employ six months after completion of the respective application process.
8. Your data protection rights
8.1 Right to information
