Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your personal data is important to us. Below we inform you about which data is collected when you visit this website and how it is processed.
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Scholz Wathsack und Partner Steuerberatungsgesellschaft
Alte Salzdahlumer Straße 203, 38124 Braunschweig, Germany

Email: info@swp-steuer.de
We process personal data only on one of the following legal bases: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) or the protection of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
This website is hosted by Vercel. The provider is Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA. When the pages are accessed, the provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits. These are in particular:
This data is processed exclusively to ensure the secure, stable and functional operation of the website and to evaluate system security. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). As Vercel may also process data in the USA, any such transfer takes place on the basis of appropriate safeguards (EU standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework). A data processing agreement is in place with the provider.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in the address bar of your browser.
When you send us a message via the contact form, we process the data you provide – name, email address, telephone number (optional) and your message – in order to handle and respond to your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual measures) as well as our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
For the technical processing and delivery of your enquiry, we use the automation service Make (make.com) with a server location in the European Union as well as an email service. Data processing agreements are in place with these service providers. Your data is not used for any other purposes and remains with us until your enquiry has been conclusively dealt with; statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
On the “Kanzlei” (firm) page we embed a news module (“Nachrichten Steuern & Recht”) provided by DATEV eG. When this module loads, your browser establishes a connection to DATEV servers, whereby your IP address is transmitted to DATEV eG, Paumgartnerstraße 6–14, 90429 Nürnberg, Germany. This is technically necessary in order to display the latest news. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in an informative and up-to-date presentation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Further information can be found in the data protection notices of DATEV eG.
We do not use any tracking, analytics or marketing cookies on this website. Only technically necessary cookies are used, insofar as they are required for the operation of the website. Fonts are served locally from our server; no connection to third-party servers takes place in this regard.
Under the GDPR you have the following rights:
To exercise your rights, an informal message to info@swp-steuer.de is sufficient.
Without prejudice to any other legal remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is:
Die Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen (State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony)
Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover
We adjust this privacy policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. The current version published on this page applies.
