6. data security

Your personal data is protected by taking appropriate organisational and technical precautions. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorised, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.

Notwithstanding our endeavours to maintain an appropriately high level of due diligence at all times, it cannot be ruled out that information that you disclose to us via the Internet may be viewed and used by other persons.

Please note that we therefore accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. hacking attack on e-mail account or telephone, interception of faxes).

7. rights of data subjects

As a data subject, you have the right to information (Art. 15 GDPR) about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing at any time. In this case, we will provide you with a copy of the personal data that is the subject of the processing. A reasonable fee based on administrative costs may be charged for any further copies you request. If you make the request electronically, the information must be provided in a commonly used electronic format, unless you have specified otherwise.

Furthermore, you have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of a supplementary declaration (see Art. 16 GDPR).

If there are any changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly.

For certain reasons (listed in Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR), you have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately, in which case AdvoFin Prozessfinanzierung AG is generally obliged to delete personal data immediately.

Under certain legal conditions (Art. 18 GDPR), you have the right to demand the restriction of processing. Where processing has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the data processing is based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from AdvoFin Prozessfinanzierung AG (Art. 20 GDPR). You have the right to obtain that the personal data be transmitted directly by AdvoFin Prozessfinanzierung AG to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

If you have already given your consent to data processing, please note that such consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by AdvoFin Prozessfinanzierung AG or by a third party (within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. In this case, AdvoFin Prozessfinanzierung AG will no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing (direct contact, for example by sending letters or brochures and newsletters, by telephone calls, e-mails, etc.), you have the right to object at any time (even without giving reasons) to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Furthermore, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

Your request for information, deletion, correction, restriction, objection and/or data transfer, in the latter case, provided that this does not cause a disproportionate effort, can be addressed to the address and/or e-mail address of AdvoFin Prozessfinanzierung AG stated in point 2 of this declaration.

If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. If you have your place of residence and/or your place of work in Austria and/or the place of an alleged infringement is in Austria, the complaint must be addressed to the Austrian Data Protection Authority as the national supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time with enquiries or requests.
