As a client or data subject, you have the right \u2013 subject to the attorney\u2019s duty of confidentiality \u2013 to obtain information at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing.

office@leukos.at<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If you believe that the processing of your personal data by LEUKOS violates applicable data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you are requested to notify us accordingly. You also have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbeh\u00f6rde).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

4. Data Security<\/b><\/span><\/p>

Your personal data is protected by organizational and technical measures. These measures include protection against unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Despite all efforts to always maintain an appropriately high standard of care, it cannot be ruled out that information you transmit to the firm via the internet may be accessed or used by third parties.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

LEUKOS therefore accepts no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transfer not caused by the firm or unauthorized access by third parties (i.e. hacking attacks on -email accounts or telephones, interception of faxes).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

5. Use of Data
<\/b><\/span><\/p>

The processing of data provided to LEUKOS is carried out exclusively for purposes covered by the engagement, your consent or based on and compliant with the GDPR. An exception applies to use for statistical purposes, provided that the data has been anonymized.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

6. Transfer of Data to Third Parties<\/b><\/span><\/p>

For the fulfillment of your engagement, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (i.e. opposing parties, substitute lawyers, insurance companies, service providers engaged by LEUKOS and to which data is being provided) as well as to courts or authorities. Any transfer of your data takes place exclusively based on and compliant with the GDPR, in particular for the performance of your engagement or based on your prior consent.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

You are also advised that during legal representation and support by LEUKOS, factual and case-related information about you is regularly obtained from third parties.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Some of the above-mentioned recipients of your personal data may be located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that of Austria. However, your personal data is transferred only to countries for which the European Commission has determined that they provide an adequate level of data protection. Otherwise, the firm implements measures to ensure that all recipients provide an adequate level of data protection including the conclusion of standard contractual clauses (2010\/87\/EC or 2004\/915\/EC).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

7. Notification of a Data Breach
<\/b><\/span><\/p>

In the event of a data breach, the firm endeavors to ensure that it is detected at an early stage and, where necessary, promptly reported to you and the competent supervisory authority, taking into account the respective categories of data affected.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

8. Data Retention<\/b><\/span><\/p>

LEUKOS retains data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the firm\u2019s contractual and statutory obligations and to defend against any potential liability claims.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

9. Information pursuant to Section 9 (5) of the Austrian Lawyers’ Act (Rechtsanwaltsordnung; German acronym: RAO)<\/b><\/span><\/p>

In transactions listed in Section 8a (1) RAO, LEUKOS is obliged for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing to establish the identity of the parties, verify it by personal presentation of an official photo ID, document it and determine by appropriate measures whether the party or its beneficial owner is a politically exposed person (PEP), a family member of a PEP or a person known to be closely associated with a PEP. Where applicable, the origin of funds must also be examined and documented.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If a party willfully fails to comply with the identification obligations or if there is justified reason to believe that the transaction serves money laundering or terrorist financing purposes, consideration must be given to filing a suspicious activity report with the Austrian Federal Minister of the Interior.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The processing of personal data based on the RAO for the purpose of preventing money laundering or terrorist financing constitutes a matter of public interest within the meaning of the GDPR.<\/p>
