Privacy Policy

With this Data Protection Statement, we, Mühlebach Advokatur AG, explain how we collect and process personal data.
Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This Data Protection Statement explains what data we collect and what it is used for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
This Data Protection Statement is subject to Swiss law. Furthermore, provisions of the European Union (EU), in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), are also taken into account insofar as they are applicable.

Responsible Person and Contact Point
Mühlebach Advokatur AG, Falkengasse 3, P.O. Box, 6002 Lucerne, is responsible for data processing, unless otherwise stated.
If you have any questions about our handling of personal data or other data protection concerns, you can contact us at the following address: dsg[at]muehlebach-law[dot]ch

 

1. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

Within the scope of our activities, we primarily collect and process personal data that we require for the processing of a mandate relationship:

Client data and data for mandate management:
First and last names as well as contact details of the contact persons, position and title, associated company/job, industry, any cross-connections (e.g., shareholders or related persons) and further background information from publicly accessible sources (e.g., commercial registers), any assigning person, contents of inquiry and mandate, counterparties and their representatives as well as further details for checking any conflicts of interest;

Client Data:
Communication with the client, courts, opposing attorneys and third parties as well as advisory documentation and information provided to us by or on behalf of the client, opposing parties, courts, authorities and other parties to the proceedings or which we generate in the course of our services;

Service and billing data:
Information about the services provided and billed, billing data, proof of services, invoices, payments, bank details;

Publicly accessible sources:
In addition to the data you provide us directly, we also obtain personal data from publicly accessible sources, in particular information from public registers (e.g., debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, etc.), to the extent permitted by law;

Data in compliance with anti-money laundering requirements:
Information on compliance with legal requirements for combating money laundering, such as clarification of the beneficial owner, information on control holders, information on authorized persons, information on other persons involved, background to the establishment of the business relationship, origin of the assets, etc.;

Personal data from media and Internet:
Information from the media and the Internet about your person, as far as this is appropriate in a specific case, be it in the context of an application or, if applicable, your addresses and other socio-demographic data;

Data in connection with the use of our website:
When you use our website, the server temporarily stores information about your accesses. The data collected includes, among other things, the date and time of access, your IP address, the website from which access to our homepage is made, etc.;

Exceptionally, the information we collect may also concern sensitive personal data. In the event that we process personal data requiring special protection, we will obtain your consent in advance if this is required by law and if we consider the collection of such data to be appropriate. Consent can be revoked at any time. However, this has no effect on data processing that has already taken place.
 

2. Purpose of Data Collection and Processing

We collect and process personal data mainly to provide, document, bill and improve our services. This includes processing to meet legal requirements (e.g., to check for any conflicts of interest) and to enforce or defend against legal claims. We also process the personal data of our clients in order to communicate with you, to answer inquiries and to send you information about our firm and invitations to events, courses, conferences or lectures and generally to promote and develop our business relationship with you.
 

3. Retention Periods for your Personal Data

We store personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the respective purpose of the data collection and processing. This also includes legal storage and documentation obligations. In particular, personal data is retained until the expiry of the statutory limitation period in which claims could be asserted against our company or insofar as this is required by legitimate security interests in our data.
 

4. Disclosure of Personal Data

We do not disclose any personal data to third parties without the consent of the person concerned, unless this is done in connection with the processing of the mandate or is necessary for the purposes described in this Data Protection Statement. In particular, information may be disclosed to courts and authorities, counterparties, correspondent attorneys, legal protection insurers and other experts in the course of processing the mandate.
In addition, we may disclose personal data to contract data processors, in particular to IT service providers and other providers who provide IT applications (e.g., collaboration platforms) or support and other services provided to us for the purposes set out in this Data Protection Statement.
 

5. Rights of the Data Subjects

Within the scope of the data protection law applicable to you, you have the right – insofar as provided – to demand information, deletion and correction of the personal data concerning you. Furthermore, you may request a restriction of data processing or object to our data processing as well as to the release of certain personal data for the purpose of transfer to another entity. At this point, however, it should be noted that we reserve the right to apply the restrictions provided for by law if we are obliged to retain or process certain personal data or if we can invoke an overriding interest in the data concerned. In the event that you exercise your rights, this may cause a conflict with contractual obligations, which may result, for example, in the premature termination of the contract and associated costs. If you incur any costs, we will inform you in advance.
The assertion of the aforementioned rights requires that you clearly prove your identity (in case of doubt by a copy of an official identification document). To assert your rights, please contact the contact point mentioned at the beginning of this Data Protection Statement.
Furthermore, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. In addition, the assertion of the above-mentioned rights can be enforced in court. For this purpose, please contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
 

6. Obligation to Provide Personal Data

Within the scope of our business relationship, we are absolutely dependent on the provision of personal data which is required for the establishment, processing and implementation of the respective business relationship and the associated contractual obligations. As a rule, there is no statutory requirement to provide us with data. However, without this data we are in most cases not in a position to conclude a contract with you or to fulfill it in full. In addition, the use of our website is only possible under the condition that certain data for the security of data traffic (such as the IP address) are not concealed.
 

7. Electronic Communication

By providing their own e-mail address, clients agree to communication via (unencrypted) e-mail.
The following system is used for video conferences: Microsoft Teams
The Client acknowledges that the Representative has not taken any special protective measures (e.g., the conclusion of confidentiality agreements with the providers of the video conferencing systems) to protect the professional secrecy when using this system. The Client agrees to the possible risks of a breach of professional secrecy associated with this. The terms of use and data protection of the provider of the video conferencing system apply.
The client is responsible for the secure handling of passwords and access data.
 

8. File Management and Use of Third-party IT-services

The commissioner is entitled to keep an electronic file in addition to or instead of paper files. This may include, in particular, address and service billing data, e-mail correspondence and copies of all documents received and sent out. It is accessible to all employees of the commissioner.
In the absence of individual agreements to the contrary, the commissioner shall be authorized to destroy all files after ten years have elapsed since the matter was brought to a close, without prior request to the client. Files handed over shall be returned at the request of the client after termination of the mandate.
The Agent may outsource the maintenance or operation of its IT systems to third parties or procure them entirely from third parties (in particular cloud solutions). In doing so, it must ensure that all requirements of Swiss law governing lawyers and data protection are met. Insofar as third parties involved could gain insight into client data in the course of their work, they must be obligated to maintain confidentiality in advance by the authorized representative.
 

9. Data Security

The security of your data is an important concern for us. We therefore use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, misuse, disclosure, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties and to protect it against partial or total loss. Our security measures are regularly adapted to the corresponding technological developments.
 

10. Copyrights

The copyright and all other rights to the content, images, photos or other files on our website belong exclusively to Mühlebach Advokatur AG or the named copyright holders. The prior written consent of the copyright holder must be obtained for the reproduction of all files. Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective copyright holder may be liable to prosecution and, under certain circumstances, to payment of damages.
 

11. Disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, correct and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors can not be completely excluded, so we can not guarantee the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of the information. Liability claims regarding damage caused by the use of any information provided, including any kind of information which is incomplete or incorrect, will therefore be rejected to the extent permitted by law.
We would like to point out that we change or delete texts at our own discretion and without prior notice and are not obliged to update the contents of our website. The use of our website or access to it is at your own risk.
Furthermore, Mühlebach Advokatur AG accepts no responsibility or liability for the availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links from this website. The operators of the linked sites are solely responsible for their content. We therefore expressly distance ourselves from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that may offend common decency.
 

12. Adjustments to this Data Protection Statement

It may be necessary to amend this Data Protection Statement from time to time, for example, if the law or the way we process personal data changes. Such an adjustment can be made by us at any time and without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. If the Data Protection Statement is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you by appropriate means if there is an amendment.
