Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware. Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more convenient for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles. The use of technically necessary cookies is based on Section 25 (2) TDDDG, further data processing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, insofar as the use of technically necessary cookies is necessary for the purpose of providing our web and/or online services in the sense of contract fulfillment, otherwise on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, as the use is also made to safeguard legitimate interests for the purpose of providing web and/or online services.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, if you deactivate cookies completely, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website.
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimization of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
a) Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, for the purpose of tailoring and continuously optimizing our website. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as "Google"). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as
are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics help section (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
b) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
We also use Google Conversion Tracking to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. Google Adwords places a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". Google's privacy policy for conversion
Tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
We do not use any social plug-ins from social networks on our website. We only link to our profile on the social networks Facebook, LinkedIn and X on our website. Your data is not retrieved by the social networks on our website.
We use services and content provided by third-party providers on our website. For such integration, it is technically necessary to process your IP address so that the content can be sent to your browser. Your IP address is therefore transmitted to the respective third-party provider. This data processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests in the optimization and economic operation of our website and is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR. The JavaScript programming language is regularly used to integrate the content. You can therefore object to data processing by deactivating the execution of JavaScript in your browser or installing a JavaScript blocker. Please note that this may result in functional restrictions on the website.
We use "Google Maps" from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") to display maps. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data is entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about Google reCAPTCHA, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Terms of Service at the following links:

policies.google.com/terms.
We use an IT application that documents the necessary consents for the use of cookies and other similar technologies (so-called consent management tool). For this purpose, we use the service provider Usercentrics, based in the EU ("Usercentrics"), which acts on our behalf as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
Usercentrics offers a Consent Management Platform (CMP) as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. This is used to collect, manage, document and pass on consent and personal data collected on the basis of legitimate interests. By using the CMP, the scripts of the individual technologies implemented are blocked when the website is accessed. These technologies are only played after consent has been given. Technologies that are used on the basis of legitimate interest are not blocked and are played automatically.
With the CMP, it is possible to track and document the user's consent and future changes to the decision. It is also possible to withdraw consent via an embedded button (privacy button/link). This gives the user the opportunity to adjust their decision at a later date.
As soon as our website is accessed and visited by interested users, a Usercentrics cookie is stored in the user's browser, in which the consent(s) given by the user or revocation(s) of this consent are stored.
The following user data is collected:
a. User data in connection with Service Consent Management Platform:
b. User data in connection with service preference management platform
The consent ID (contains the above-mentioned data) and the consent status including timestamp are stored in the local memory of your browser and simultaneously on the cloud servers used.
The processing of your pers. Data is generally processed within the EU or the European Economic Area ("EEA"). If data is processed in third countries, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in the respective third country or at the respective recipient in the third country before such a transfer takes place. This may result, for example, from a so-called "adequacy decision" of the European Commission, by using the so-called "EU standard contractual clauses" or by other measures within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. Processing outside the EEA may also be justified in accordance with Art. 49 GDPR or with consent to such processing in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The purpose of the data processing is to analyze and manage the consents granted so that we comply with our obligation to manage consents in accordance with the GDPR; the proof of consents granted and not granted as well as their management.
The legal basis for the management of your consent to the processing of your personal data is in particular Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies, for example, in the legally compliant documentation and verifiability of consents. Consent to the processing of pers. Data can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. You can object to processing on the basis of legitimate interests at any time if the requirements of Art. 21 GDPR are met.
The data collected will be stored in order to document the purpose of the proper consent to the use / use of cookies and other similar technologies. The data will be deleted if it is no longer required for the respective processing purposes or, in the case of consent, if consent has been withdrawn. Instead of erasure, the data may be stored with restriction of processing if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which our company is subject, in particular e.g.

Personal data that the notary receives from you or via third parties commissioned by you (e.g. lawyers, tax consultants, brokers, credit institutions) is processed, such as
The notary is the holder of a public office. His official activity is carried out (i) in the performance of a task which is in the public interest in the orderly and preventive administration of justice and thus in the public interest, and (ii) in the exercise of official authority (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).
Your data will be processed exclusively in order to carry out the notarial activity requested by you and any other persons involved in a transaction in accordance with the official duties, i.e. for the preparation of draft deeds, for the notarization and execution of deed transactions or for the provision of advice. Personal data is therefore only ever processed on the basis of the applicable professional and procedural regulations, which are essentially derived from the Federal Notarial Code and the Notarization Act. These provisions also result in the legal obligation to process the required data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR). Failure to provide the data requested from you would therefore mean that the (further) execution of the official transaction would have to be refused.
The notary is subject to a statutory duty of confidentiality. This duty of confidentiality also applies to all his employees and all other persons commissioned by him.
Your data will therefore only be passed on if and insofar as the notary is obliged to do so in individual cases, e.g. due to notification obligations to the tax authorities, or to public registers such as the land registry, commercial or association registers, central register of wills, registers of precautionary measures, courts such as probate, care or family courts or authorities. In the context of professional and official supervision, the notary may also be obliged to provide information to the Chamber of Notaries or its supervisory authority, which in turn are subject to an official duty of confidentiality.
Otherwise, your data will only be disclosed if the notary is obliged to do so on the basis of declarations made by you or if you have requested the disclosure.
Your personal data will only be transferred to third countries at your special request or if and insofar as a party to the deed is domiciled in a third country.
The notary processes and stores your personal data within the scope of his statutory retention obligations.
According to Section 5 (4) of the Service Regulations for Notaries (DONot), the following retention periods apply to the retention of notarial documents:
After expiry of the storage periods, your data will be deleted or the paper documents destroyed, unless there is an obligation to store them for a longer period of time in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR due to tax and commercial law storage and documentation obligations (from the German Commercial Code, Criminal Code, Money Laundering Act or the Tax Code) as well as professional regulations or for the purpose of conflict of laws checks.
