Data Protection
Many thanks for your interest in our law firm. Data protection is particularly important to us. The use of our website www.simongraeser.law is fundamentally possible without disclosing any personal data. If, however, you decide now or at a later point in time to use or wish to use special services of our law firm via our website, this might require the processing of personal data.
Any processing of personal data, such as your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number, will always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the applicable state-specific data protection provisions for the law firm. This data protection declaration is intended to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data that we collect, use and process. You will also be informed of the rights you are entitled to through this data protection declaration.
Our law firm has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed through this website is protected as completely as possible. However, internet-based data transmissions can have security gaps in principle, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
