General information about data processing and legal grounds

The following information outlines how the Commercial Court Baden-Wuerttemberg guarantees the protection of your data when you use our website and what types of data are collected, why and to what extent when you access our website and related websites, features and content. We also want to provide you with information about your rights. 

The information is valid regardless of the domains, systems, platforms or devices (e.g. desktop or mobile) on which the website is provided.

We use terms such as “personal data” or “processing” in line with the definitions in Article 4 GDPR .

It might become necessary to make changes to this information as part of the development of our website and the technology we use. We therefore recommend that you revisit this information from time to time.


Data processing on this website

In connection with the website, the Commercial Court Baden-Wuerttemberg processes data

so you can view the website

The personal data processed for the purposes of this website include master data (e.g. e-mail addresses for the contact form, names, addresses and e-mail addresses for ordering brochures), usage data (e.g. the pages you visit on our website) and content data (e.g. data you enter in the contact form)

We only process personal data in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that we shall only process your data if we have the legal authority to do so, especially if the processing is necessary, permitted or required by law in order for us to provide our services and online services or if we have your consent.

Data are collected and exchanged whenever you visit a website. The Commercial Court Baden-Wuerttemberg automatically collects and stores data (log file information) which your browser transfers to our server.

This information includes:

The type and version of your browser;

Your operating system;

The page you visited;

The page you were on previously (the referrer URL);

The date and time of the server request;

The IP address of your computer.

The Commercial Court Baden-Wuerttemberg does not analyse this information. The Commercial Court Baden-Wuerttemberg has no way of assigning these data to a specific person. These data are not merged with other sources of data. During your visit, the IP addresses are collected in order to respond to queries and are then stored for 30 days. Additionally, if an error occurs, form content can potentially be logged and stored for 30 days. These data shall be erased after 30 days.

In this regard, we collect these data in accordance with point (e) of Article 6(1) GDPR in order to provide you with this website and perform our tasks in the public interest (the public work of the judiciary).

Data which were logged when you visit the website shall only be shared with third parties if we are obliged to do so by law or a court order or if the disclosure is necessary for the purposes of litigation or prosecution in the event of an attack on the online infrastructure of the Commercial Court Baden-Wuerttemberg. Otherwise, the data shall not be disclosed.


Voluntary personal data

You have the option to provide personal data voluntarily on some pages of the website, e.g. in contact forms or if you order a brochure. We shall only store and use the (personal) data transferred to us for the purpose for which you provided them. Unless we expressly indicate that it will be the case, the data shall not be disclosed to third parties.

All of the information you receive on these pages is also available elsewhere without requiring your data. Likewise, you can use alternative means of contacting us instead of the electronic options (e.g. e-mail). This safeguards the voluntary nature of your personal data at all times. You will not suffer any disadvantage if you do not provide your data. However, in this case you will then have to find another way to obtain the information.


Cookies

We do not use cookies.

Contacting the Commercial Court Baden-Wuerttemberg

When you contact us, your details shall be processed in order to process your enquiry and therefore to carry out the tasks assigned to us in the public interest within the meaning of point (e) of Article 6(1) GDPR.

If you send us an e-mail, we shall only use the e-mail and your e-mail address to communicate with you. After your enquiry has been answered or concluded, your data shall be erased or, under some circumstances, stored for the purposes of documentation in accordance with the data protection regulations if your enquiry was of relevance to a file.
