We use your personal data for the fulfilment of pre-contractual, contractual or post-contractual as well as legal obligations (Art. 6 para.1 b, c GDPR)
We need your personal data if you conclude a contract with us (e.g. within the framework of a mandate relationship) or within the framework of legal obligations to which we are subject.
We sometimes need your personal data before you conclude a contract with us, or even afterwards (e.g. in the context of pre-contractual negotiations or in the context of post-contractual obligations). We also process your personal data to fulfil other legal obligations to which we are subject (e.g. in the context of naming inventors or in the context of tax obligations).
We use your personal data to protect legitimate interests of us or a third party (Art. 6 para.1 f GDPR)
We also process your personal data if we or a third party has a legitimate interest in doing so: e.g. we process contact data of the contact persons of our business customers within the scope of a business contact. We also process personal data within the scope of trademark collision monitoring, or within the scope of a search or monitoring of a process flow of property right applications. In addition, we may obtain a credit report or have a collection procedure carried out to secure our risk of receivables. We use your personal data if you give your consent (Art. 6 para.1 a GDPR). In individual cases we need your specific consent to process your personal data. In such cases we will ask you for your consent in advance and inform you separately.
If we act on your behalf (e.g. within the framework of a client relationship), we can only do so if you provide us with all the personal data required for this purpose. If you do not want this, we cannot act on your behalf. In some cases there is also a legal obligation to provide us with your personal data; in such a case we will inform you separately.
We process the personal data that we receive from you. In addition, we process, if permitted, personal data that we receive from public sources (e.g. databases on intellectual property rights). We will be happy to provide you with further details in specific individual cases.
If you want to know which personal data we have stored about you, we will tell you, because you have a right to information according to Art.15 GDPR in connection with §34 BDSG.
If you inform us that personal data is incorrect, we must correct this personal data. You have a right of correction according to Art.16 GDPR.
You have the right to delete your personal data according to Art.17 GDPR in connection with §35 BDSG.
In rare cases (e.g. if it is not clear whether personal data is correct or incorrect or if we would like to delete your personal data but you do not want us to do so) you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You have the right to limit the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art.18 GDPR.
You have a right of objection according to Art.21 GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.
If you object to the processing of your personal data, the lawfulness of the processing on the basis of your consent is not affected until you object.
You have a right to data transferability according to Art.20 GDPR.
If you make use of your rights, this will normally cost you nothing. In such a case, please contact us (an e-mail to info@pa-zellentin.de is sufficient).
If you have a complaint or a question about data protection, please contact us (see point 1 above) or our data protection officer (see point 2 above). You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG). You can assert this right with a supervisory authority in the member state of your residence, your place of work or the place of the suspected infringement. You can contact the competent supervisory authority for Rhineland-Palatinate as follows:

We use your personal data within Zellentin & Partner mbB Patentanwälte to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations.
If necessary and permitted or legally required, we will disclose your personal data to third parties or to contract processors. Contract processors process personal data on our behalf and exclusively according to our instructions. Third parties or contract processors are e.g. the German Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, other patent offices worldwide and the local correspondence lawyers, IT companies (e.g. to operate our website) required by law to represent us before these patent offices.
We store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligation or a legal obligation. Your personal data is deleted as soon as we no longer need it, e.g. because no law requires us to store it any longer. Your personal data will not be deleted as long as they are required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Within the scope of a client relationship we transfer personal data to a third country (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. fGDPR) if an application for intellectual property rights is to be filed in this third country. We then transmit to the authorities of said country (e.g. patent office) the information (name, address and, if required, nationality) that is absolutely necessary for filing an application. Since this is a legal requirement, we correspond with the authorities in the third country by correspondent attorneys in said country. If the third country in question is not subject to an adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR, we base the transmission on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. e GDPR.
We maintain technical and organizational measures to ensure data security, in particular to protect your personal data from dangers during data transfers and from third parties gaining knowledge of them. The measures are adapted to the state of the art.

Due to the further development of our website or due to changes in legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to amend this data protection declaration.
