Cookies

Session-Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. These are small text files which are automatically created by your browser when you visit our website and which are stored on your end device.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website as pleasant as possible for you. We use so-called session cookies to see whether you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted once you leave our site.
The data processed by cookies is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1), first sentence, (f) GDPR for the aforementioned purposes to protect our as well as third parties' legitimate interests.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you may prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by making the appropriate settings in your browser.
b.
Google Maps
We use content from Google Maps from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, on our contact page. When using this service, our location is shown to you and a possible journey to us is made easier.
Google will be informed when our contact page is called up and the information listed in Sec. 3.a. of this Data Protection Policy will be transmitted to Google when it is used. This takes place regardless of whether you are logged into a Google user account or whether a user account exists. If you are logged into a Google user account, the data will be directly assigned to your user account. If you do not wish the data to be associated with your profile, you must first log out of your Google user account.
When using Google Maps, your personal data may be transferred to Google companies in countries outside the European Economic Area where an adequate level of data protection is not guaranteed and your rights under European data protection law may not be enforceable. With your declaration to use Google Maps, you consent to such data transfer.
After activation, you can prevent further data transmission to Google at any time by leaving our contact page.
The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps/ (as of 31 March 2020) and Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de (as of 4 February 2021).
6.
Link to the social network LinkedIn
LinkedIn plug-ins are implemented on our website www.kroher-strobel.de. You can recognise the plug-ins by the LinkedIn logo on our website.
If you call up a page of our website that contains such a LinkedIn plug-in, a direct connection is es-tablished between your browser and the LinkedIn server. LinkedIn thereby is notified that you have visited our website with your IP address.
If you are logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognises which specific sub-page of our website you have visited each time you call up our website and for the entire duration of your stay. This information is collected and associated to your LinkedIn account by LinkedIn. If you click the LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to your personal LinkedIn user account and saves this personal data.
LinkedIn thus always receives knowledge that you have visited our website if you are logged into LinkedIn at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click the LinkedIn button or not. If you do not want this transmission, you can prevent it by logging out of your LinkedIn account before accessing our website.
For further details, please refer to the information on the LinkedIn plug-ins at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins and the privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
7.
Deletion of personal data
Unless specifically stated, we store personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes pursued and as long as this is enshrined in laws or regulations to which Kroher Strobel Rechts- und Patentanwälte PartmbB is subject, or as long as there is a legal obligation to retain such data.
8.
Data protection for job applications
Kroher Strobel Rechts- und Patentanwälte PartmbB collects and processes personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. If an applicant sends the application documents to us by e-mail, the processing is carried out electronically. If an employment relationship is established with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of pro-cessing the contractual relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment relationship is established, the application documents are automatically deleted three months after notification of rejection, provided that no other legitimate interests prevent deletion.
9.

You have the right to:
a.
obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed; where that is the case, you are entitled to the information listed in Art. 15 GDPR;
b.
obtain from us without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you or to have incomplete personal data completed in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR;
c.
obtain from us the erasure of your personal data where one of the grounds listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies;

10.
Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1), first sentence, (f) GDPR; this also applies to any profiling based on this provision.
Kroher Strobel Rechts- und Patentanwälte PartmbB shall then no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If the objection is directed against direct advertising or related profiling, you have a general right to object, which will be implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.
If you would like to make use of your right of revocation or objection, it is sufficient to send an e-mail to iplaw@kroher-strobel.de.
