third parties, such as regulators and other bodies, to comply with our legal obligations; external suppliers in connection with the processing of your personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, such as ICT suppliers, suppliers of communication services or other suppliers to whom we outsource certain support services. The transfer of your personal data to the above third parties will only take place for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.

Third parties to whom we provide your personal data may themselves be responsible for compliance with privacy legislation. In that case, we are neither responsible nor liable for the processing of your personal data by these third parties. If a third party processes your personal data in the capacity of a processor on our behalf and, therefore, upon request and in accordance with our instructions, we enter into a processing agreement with such a third party that meets the requirements set out in the General Data Protection Ordinance (AVG).

The processing of personal data by us is based on various principles. The data processing maybe necessary for the execution of a contract (for the provision of services) that we have concluded or may be necessary for the execution of a legal obligation. In some cases we ask for your explicit consent, for example for the use of certain cookies, or, if you are not a client, to receive commercial communications. Finally, processing is based on a legitimate interest of ours, such as processing in the context of internal management, for the purpose of effective communication, quality improvement or direct marketing processing for clients and active contacts of ours. In the latter case, an opt-out is offered at all times.

We will not retain your personal data longer than is necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Statement or for as long as we are required to do so by law.

You can request us to correct, supplement, delete or block your data if the data is incomplete, incorrect or processed in violation of a legal requirement. In addition, you have the right to request the data in our possession. If you no longer wish to receive newsletters, e-mail messages or other communications from us, you can notify us free of charge at any time. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data. We will discontinue processing if we are legally obliged to do so or if other compelling legitimate grounds for processing exist that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or that relate to the institution, exercise or substantiation of a legal claim.

We attach great importance to the quality of our work and the satisfaction of our clients with our services. To this end, we carry out regular surveys and use the results to continuously improve our services. If something has not gone according to plan in your case, please report it to us. We will do everything we can to find a satisfactory solution. In addition, you have the right and opportunity at all times to submit a complaint about the processing of personal data by us to the Personal Data Authority.
