2. personal data and data processing
Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (so-called "data subject"). Examples include name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender or social security number - in the area of insurance mediation, in particular, also customer, policy and claim numbers. In addition, there are also special categories of personal data (so-called "sensitive data"). The GDPR understands this to include, for example, health data or data in connection with criminal proceedings. Personal data is only collected if you provide it yourself. Cookies are processed in the course of using the website, more on this under point 6 of this data protection declaration.
Data processing when contacting JP: Should you contact AKELA via e-mail, telephone, the website or otherwise, the data necessary to respond to your inquiry will be processed (legal basis: Art 6 para 1 a), b) and f) DSGVO). This includes in particular:
First and last name
E-mail address and telephone number
Other personal data provided by you
If you do not wish to disclose any personal data to AKELA, AKELA will not be able to establish a business relationship with you or respond to any inquiries.
3. automated decision making according to Art. 22 DSGVO
AKELA does not use automated decision-making pursuant to Art. 22 DSGVO.
4. legal basis of data processing
AKELA collects, processes and uses your personal data exclusively if a legal basis iSd Art 6 Abs 1 DSGVO is given. Your data will be processed in particular on the basis of the following legal bases:
4.1 Consent - Art 6 para 1 lit a DSGVO.
The processing of those data is based on your consent, provided that you give such consent in the context of contacting us. Sensitive data (iSd Art 9 DSGVO) that you disclose to JP in the context of website use are also processed on the basis of consent. The scope and purposes of the processing depend on the underlying declaration of consent. You may revoke a given consent at any time with effect for the future by contacting AKELA at any time by telephone at 0043 1 34 32 5 35, by e-mail to office@akela.law or by post to AKELA Rechtsanwältinnen GmbH.
4.2 For the performance of a contract - Art 6 para 1 lit b DSGVO
All processing that JP has to carry out in connection with the performance of a contract is based on the legal basis of Art 6 para 1 lit b DSGVO. This also includes data that AKELA processes on the basis of pre-contractual obligations.
4.3 Legal obligations - Art 6 para 1 lit c DSGVO
If AKELA is subject to a legal obligation on the basis of which the processing of personal data is required, Art 6 para 1 lit c DSGVO shall serve as the legal basis.
4.4 Legitimate interest - Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO
If the processing of personal data is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of AKELA or a third party, Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO serves as the legal basis. A legitimate interest of AKELA consists in particular in,
i) to ensure the operation and administration of the website;
ii) To be able to carry out direct marketing measures;
iii) To ensure network and data security, but only to the extent that our legitimate interest is in conflict with applicable law and with the rights and freedoms of our users;
iv) To be able to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
5. transfer to third parties
Due to the current complexity of certain data processing operations, it has become essential to provide certain services with the involvement of third parties. For this purpose, AKELA uses external service providers, e.g. for web hosting and IT systems, to whom your data is made available for this purpose. These service providers are processors within the meaning of Art. 28 DSGVO, who are contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially and to process your data only within the scope of their service provision. These processors include the following in particular:
World4You Internet Services GmbH
Ursula Ranft PR Marketing Communications
If applicable, the possible recipient of your personal data is located outside the European Union or processes your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that in Austria. However, AKELA will only transfer your personal data to countries which, according to the EU Commission, have an adequate level of data protection. Alternatively, JP takes measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection, such as entering into agreements in accordance with the standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC) .
In certain circumstances, AKELA may be required by law to disclose your data to, for example, supervisory authorities and law enforcement agencies. However, this is only to the extent necessary for the prevention and/or detection of fraud and other criminal offences or to ensure network and data security.
6. cookies
AKELA uses cookies on the website. A cookie is a small text file that stores Internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. It is downloaded by your internet browser the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit this website with the same terminal device, the cookie and the information stored in it is either sent back to the website that generated it (first party cookie) or sent to another website to which it belongs (third party cookie). As a result, the website recognizes that you have been visited before with this browser and, in some cases, varies the content displayed. Some cookies are extremely useful, as they can improve the user experience when you return to a website that you have already visited several times. Provided that you use the same terminal and the same browser as before, cookies remember, for example, your preferences, communicate how you use a page and adapt the offers displayed to your personal interests and needs.
Essentially, there are the following types of cookies:
Absolutely necessary cookies, also called "strictly necessary" cookies, ensure functions without which you would not be able to use this website as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by AKELA and are therefore so-called first party cookies. They are only stored on your computer during the current browser session. Such cookies ensure, for example, if necessary, the functionality of a change from http to https during a page change and thus the compliance with increased security requirements for data transmission. In addition, such a cookie also stores your decision regarding the use of cookies on the website.
First party cookies requiring consent on this website: Cookies that, by purely legal definition, are not strictly necessary to use the Website, nevertheless perform important tasks. Without these cookies, functions that enable comfortable surfing on the website are no longer available and would therefore have to be requested again on every page.
If you delete all your cookies at a later time, it will be necessary to perform the opt-out process again; as well as if you visit this website from other computers. If your security settings are too high and the cookie is blocked, AKELA will not be able to perform your opt-out request. You will be notified in this case and should repeat the opt-out process with lower security settings.
The AKELA website processes the following cookies in addition to "strictly necessary" cookies:
- CookieConsent: used to store consent to cookie use.
- Functional cookies, to ensure the performance of the website.
- Performance cookies, to improve the user experience.
7. server log files
In order to optimize the website in terms of system performance, user-friendliness and provision of useful information about services, the website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to AKELA. This includes your internet protocol address (IP address), browser and language setting, operating system, referrer URL, your internet service provider and date/time as well as the content accessed. This data is not merged with personal data sources. AKELA reserves the right to check this data subsequently if concrete indications of illegal use become known.

AKELA has a fan page on Facebook. This fan page is the company's user account for contacting users on Facebook. Fanpage operators can use the "Facebook Insight" function. This compiles anonymized statistical data about visitors to the fan page. Facebook collects this data by setting cookies. Personal data is therefore processed each time this fan page is visited. The processing of this data also takes place if you are not logged in/registered on Facebook. Thus, AKELA as the operator of the Fanpage is jointly responsible with Facebook within the meaning of Art 26 DSGVO.

"Content interactions." This metric provides AKELA with breakdowns of content interactions, e.g., "likes," comments, replies, as well as values indicating how often the content was shared or saved.
"Total number of subscribers": These insights include information such as the growth in the number of subscribers, the main locations and age range of the subscribers, as well as at what times the AKELA Fanpage subscribers are most active on Instagram.
It is also possible to retrieve Insights on individual content, again providing information on interactions and subscribers.
If you have consented to the processing of your data, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time, but this does not affect the lawful data processing that has taken place up to that point.
