III. General Information About Data Processing
1. Reasons for processing personal data
In the course of our business operations, we process data for the management and handling of pre-contractual or contractual relationships with interested parties, customers, purchasers, suppliers, job candidates, professionals, service providers, and other stakeholders. This activity involves computer-generated and archived text documents (such as correspondence).
As a general rule, we process our users’ personal data only as necessary for the purpose of negotiating a contract, fulfilling contractual relationships, legal obligations, legitimate interests, providing a functional website, and displaying our content and services. Regular processing of personal data takes place only with the user’s permission. There is an exception for cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for processing personal data
To the extent that we obtain permission of the data subject in order to process his or her personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis.
In processing personal data as required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing activity that is required to initiate a contract.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation required of our company, Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
If this processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR as the legal basis for such processing.
3. Types of data
We collect and process personal data only as required for the purposes stated above. Personal data is any data containing the details of personal or material circumstances, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, photos, and all data required for fulfilling the terms of the contract, such as banking and payment information, contractual and property information, and correspondence.
4. Data deletion and retention period
The personal information of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as its retention is no longer required. Data may be retained for a longer period as dictated by European or national legislation, in EU directives, laws, or other regulations to which the persons is subject. Data is blocked or deleted when the retention period prescribed by these standards expires, unless there is a requirement to store it for a longer period in order to conclude or fulfill a contract.
5. Disclosure of data to third parties
Your personal data will be forwarded to third parties exclusively on the basis of the GDPR as expressly required to transact contractual preconditions or terms, or with your prior consent. Potential recipients include third parties involved in the transaction, such as property managers, brokers, and professionals; intermediary platforms, clients, and private or public entities that may or be required to disclose information related to contractual property (such as chimney sweeps); financial corporations; insurance companies and brokers; tax authorities and other government agencies; tax accountants and legal counsel; corporate divisions, group companies, and firms contracted to maintain IT infrastructure (software and hardware).
Some of the above recipients are based in locations outside of the EU and process the data there. We only disclose personal data to countries that the EU Commission has determined to have an adequate level of data protection, and we take steps to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection and make this a standard clause in our contracts.
6. Notice of data breaches
We take care to ensure that any data breaches are identified promptly and reported immediately, along with the particular types of data involved, to you and/or the responsible regulatory authority where required by law.
7. Your rights as a data subject
We do not create profiles of clients or other persons, or engage in any profiling, and our activities involve no computerized decision-making.
As the data subject, you have a fundamental right to information, revision, deletion, restriction, and data portability within the scope of the statutory provisions.
To the extent you have given us permission to process of your data, you have the right to revoke that permission at any time. To revoke, please contact the address given under section III.8. The lawfulness of the processing of data prior to revocation will not be affected. After revocation, the data will no longer be used for the purpose for which you had consented.
To the extent that the processing of data is based on a legitimate interest on our part, you have the right to raise an objection. To do so, please contact the address given below.
Should you object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes. If we process data for other purposes on the basis of a legitimate interest, we will only process the personal data if our protection-worthy interests outweigh and take precedence to your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise, and defense of our legal rights.

2. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in "server log files". These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
These data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
Contact form
Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
3. Analytics and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
