INFORMATION WE COLLECT
In order to better provide you with our numerous services, we collect various types of information about our users. We collect information because it helps us deliver a superior level of customer service. It enables us to give you convenient access to our services and focus on categories of greatest interest to you. In addition, your information helps us keep you posted on the latest announcements, updates, and events that you might like to hear about. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this site, such as registering for marketing e-mails, completing contact forms, submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums or other public areas, filling out a survey, downloading content, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. We may also ask for your personal information when you’re discussing a service on the phone, requesting a consultation, or engaging with our social media accounts.
It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. However, if you elect to engage in these activities, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personally identifiable information. When paying for services on the Website, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
Information transmitted on the internet, including via the contact forms on our website, is not secure and should not be considered confidential. The submission of a form on our website does not constitute attorney-client communication and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Our website may also provide a third-party “Chat” feature, with which you can choose to provide personal information. The information provided on the Chat feature or contact form is not confidential, and your use of the Chat feature and contact form does not constitute an attorney-client communication and does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you choose to provide us with personal information by using the Chat feature or contact form, we may use that information to contact you back and to improve subsequent communications with you.
The third-party Chat and contact form provider have their own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of any third parties, including the Chat provider.
Do not disclose confidential information, including any information that may expose you to civil or criminal liability, via Chat or contact forms on the Website.
We may retain information collected from the contact form and Chat feature indefinitely, or to the extent permissible by law.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. The URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. The IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the internet.
We may obtain information about you from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms (such as Facebook), as well as from other third parties. Examples of the information we receive from other sources include: social media profile information (your name, gender, birthday, e-mail, current city, state and country, user identification numbers for your contacts, profile picture URL, and any other information that you choose to make public); marketing leads and search results and links, including paid listings (such as sponsored links).
COOKIES
We use “cookies” (small data files) to improve this Website’s functionality and our visitors’ experience. These cookies do not identify you personally or give us access to your computer. You can disable cookies in your browser or application settings, but doing so may reduce website functionality. By visiting this Website and not disabling cookies, you consent to our use of cookies for the purposes described in this Policy.
This Website may collect data including, but not limited to: the number of visitors to our Website, the time spent on our Website and pages clicked; the types of devices used to access our Website; and the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors. We use this information to improve this Website and marketing. This data is collected by sending cookies (or similar tracking technology) to your device. Personal information cannot be collected via cookies and other tracking technology. However, if you previously provided personally identifiable information, cookies may be tied to such information. Aggregate cookie and tracking information may be shared with third parties. This Policy does not cover third parties’ use of cookies.
You may read more about cookies at http://www.cookiecentral.com.
Google Analytics
This Website’s marketing partners and/or features that collect data may include, among others, Google Analytics, other analytics programs, and Google AdWords remarketing service, to help us understand how visitors use this Website.
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about our visitors, but it does not receive personally identifiable information through these cookies and is prohibited from combining, matching, or cross-referencing information from this Website with any other information. You can review the Google Analytics privacy policy for additional information. If you would like to opt-out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Google reCAPTCHA
This Website has implemented reCAPTCHA v2 and/or v3 to fight spam and abuse on this Website, and your use of reCAPTCHA v2 and/or v3 is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By accessing or using the reCAPTCHA APIs, you agree to Google’s APIs Terms of Use and Google’s Terms of Use.
You acknowledge and understand that the reCAPTCHA API works by collecting hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and sending these data to Google for analysis. The information collected in connection with your use of the service will be used for improving reCAPTCHA and for general security purposes. It will not be used for personalized advertising by Google.
Google AdWord
This Website may also use Google AdWord for remarketing services to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example, using the contact form to make an inquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want, you can opt-out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin. Use these links to learn how Google uses data it collects, to prevent Google Analytics from using data from your device, or to opt-out of Google’s interest-based ads.
Google Web Fonts
This Website may also use Google Web Fonts for a uniform representation of fonts, which are provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
YouTube
This Website may also use plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

If you choose to provide us with personal information, by submitting a contact form on this Website, we may use that information to contact you back and to improve subsequent communications with you, if any.

DISTRIBUTION OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others or third parties for marketing purposes. We will not disclose, without your consent, personal information collected about you, unless we are required to do so by law. In certain limited circumstances, and in compliance with applicable laws, we may share personal information with government authorities or others as required to protect the Firm or certain third parties; or as otherwise required for compliance with applicable law or legal process. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful.
In some situations, we may pass your contact information to another attorney or law firm who has particular experience with a legal matter. In some of these situations, we may act as co-counsel for the handling of your case and share a legal fee derived from the case.
We do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, partners, and other third parties. The Firm and our service partners may use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our Websites and to deliver their services. For example, we must release your credit card information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment for services; release your address information to the delivery service that you requested; and provide information to third parties that help us provide customer service. We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personally Identifiable Information by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners and is not subject to our control.
We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers’ traffic patterns and related Website information to third-party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.

CHILDREN
In order to respect the privacy of minors, we do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process personal information from anyone under the age of 13, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the personal information of an adult user and will be treated as such by this Privacy Policy.

UPDATING, CORRECTING OR REMOVING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We have implemented technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information from inadvertent or unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including encryption in some circumstances.
Unfortunately, no method of data storage or transmission over the internet or any wireless network is guaranteed to be completely secure. We do not guarantee that our security measures will work.
