Privacy Policy

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We explain how, to what extent, and for what purpose your personal data is collected and processed when you visit our website at www.shm.at (the “Website”). “Personal Data” means all statements and information which identify a visitor to the Website or make it possible to identify the visitor.

This includes a user’s email address or IP address. When you visit our Website, information is collected about the IP address allocated to you and the number, duration and time of your visits. Technical information about your end device and the version of the browser you use will also be stored. The data collected will be used solely to optimise system security, compile statistical assessments and to improve the information offer. Therefore, processing is done to fulfil legal obligations (system security) and based on a legitimate interest (compiling statistical assessments / improving the information offer).

We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes of processing or to fulfil our contractual or statutory obligations.

Data security

Your personal data is protected by means of appropriate organisational and technical precautions. These precautions include protection from unauthorised, illegal or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.

Regardless of the efforts made to maintain appropriately high standards of care at all times, it cannot be ruled out that information which you disclose online will be seen and used by other people. Please note that we do not accept any liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information caused by errors in data transmission and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. hacking of email accounts or telephones, interception of faxes and emails) which we did not cause.

Your rights

You have the right of access to your personal data which Strasser Haindl Meyer Rechtsanwälte GmbH processes. Furthermore, you have the right to have your data erased or rectified in the event of inaccuracies. You can also request the processing of your data to be restricted or raise an objection to the processing of your data per se. Furthermore, you can request that personal data collected is sent to a third party in a structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format.

If data processing is based on consent, you may withdraw this consent at any time. You can contact us at any time (e.g. at office@shm.at) to exercise your rights as a data subject. If you are of the opinion that we have breached Austrian or European data protection law when processing your data and that we have thereby violated your rights, you can contact us at any time or file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority.
