Haseltine Lake Kempner LLP and HL Kempner Partnerschaft mbB

Haseltine Lake Kempner LLP

We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This privacy policy informs you how Haseltine Lake Kempner LLP processes and protects any information that you give when you use our website. You can access, save and print this data protection declaration in the current version at any time via our website.

General Information

This privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Personal information is in this context all the information that is used to identify your person and which can be traced back to you – for example your name, email address, home address, phone number and user behaviour.

Responsible according to Article 4 (7) of the EU-General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR (DSGVO) is Haseltine Lake Kempner LLP (see our legal notice).

Haseltine Lake Kempner processes personal data only as far as this is necessary for the provision of its contractual service and managing its relationship with clients and potential clients. The processing of personal data takes place with the consent of the user or on the basis of our legitimate interests in relation to the provision and marketing of our services where this does not adversely affect the data subject. The personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. It may also be deleted or blocked if required by national or EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which we are subject or if a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure and take technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, misuse or access by unauthorised persons or against unauthorised disclosure. Our security measures are regularly reviewed and adapted in line with technological developments. Data transmitted between our server and the terminal is encrypted (HTTPS protocol). Please note however that no internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free, please take this into account when using our online services.

How we collect access data

Each time you access our website, for technical reasons your internet browser will automatically transmit data about this. Haseltine Lake Kempner will store this data as server log files. The following data will be logged:

  • Operating system used
  • Website visited
  • Website from which you accessed this website (referrer URL)
  • Time of access
  • IP address used
  • Volume of data transmitted in bytes

This data is not stored together with other personal data. The legal basis for the temporary collection of data is Article 6(1) lit. f of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). This anonymous data will be stored separately from personal information on secure systems and does not allow the identification of an individual person. Furthermore, the IP address of your computer will only be stored for the period of time in which you use the website and will subsequently be deleted immediately or rendered anonymous by an abbreviation. The other data will be stored for a limited period of time.

The collected data will be used for statistical evaluation for the purpose of operating, securing, adapting and optimising the website. These interests are considered legitimate within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f of GDPR. The data will not be compared with other data files or shared with third parties, not even in excerpts. The data will not be evaluated for marketing purposes either. Nevertheless, Haseltine Lake Kempner reserves the right to review the log data retroactively if there is a specific indication of illegal use. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. There is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

In general, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you may find most useful. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies via our Cookie banner visiting our website the first time. Please kindly be aware that most web browsers automatically accept cookies and save a previously given approval, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. Not allowing cookies may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

The use of tracking measures shall ensure the appropriate design and continuous optimisation of this website. Tracking is also used to gather statistics about the use of our website and evaluate the data for the purpose of optimising our offerings for you. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. The data processing purposes and data categories are to be taken in each case from the corresponding tracking tools. The tracking-tools used by us and listed below are carried out on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a or partly on the legal basis of Article 6 (1) lit. f of GDPR  (General Data Protection Regulation).

  • Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). In order to increase efficiency, to tailor the design and to continuously optimize the website, we create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA. Google uses this information, on behalf of the operator of this website, for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the website operator. IP anonymization is active on this website, therefore your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contractual states of the treaty on the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and truncated there.

The IP address transmitted to us by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with any other data held by Google. You may prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software or by downloading and installing the plug-in available at the following link:  http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. As an alternative to the browser add-on or from browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to block recording by Google Analytics on this website in the future: Deactivate Google Analytics. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Detailed information regarding data use by Google Inc. is available here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

  • Vimeo

If you visit a page including such a plugin, its starts a connection to the Vimeo server and the plugin gets displayed. This way the Vimeo server receives the information about the webpages you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Vimeo, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding Vimeo cookies. Further information on data processing and information on data protection by Vimeo is available here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plug-ins of the social networks Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram to enhance our company’s profile on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The underlying commercial purpose is to be considered a legitimate interest. The responsibility for operation in compliance with data protection regulations lies with the provider in each case. We include these plug-ins via the so-called two-click method to provide the users of our website with the best possible protection. In other words, when you visit our site, initially no personal data is passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. The provider of the plug-in can be recognised by the marking on the box above the first letter or the logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the highlighted field and activate it, the plug-in provider receives the information that you have accessed within our website. By activating the plug-in, personal data will be transmitted by you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (with US providers in the USA). Please kindly note that the plug-in providers use cookies for the data collection.

We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purpose of processing or the retention periods. We also have no information about the deletion process of any data collected by the plug-in provider. The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and / or tailor-made website design. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for non-logged-in users) for the presentation of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged into the plug-in provider, your data collected from us will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and if you link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it with your contacts publicly. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider. For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and how it is processed by the plug-in provider, please refer to the privacy statements of these providers provided below. There you will also find further information about your rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy.
