  • browser used and browser version

  • operating system used

This data is technically necessary in order to deliver the website, ensure the stability and security of the service and detect possible misuse.

4. Contact by Email or Telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the data you provide, in particular your name, email address, telephone number, the content of your enquiry and any other information you voluntarily submit.

The processing is carried out in order to respond to your enquiry, communicate with you and, where applicable, prepare or arrange a viewing or a potential property sale.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if the contact relates to pre-contractual measures or a potential contract. In other cases, processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in responding to enquiries and communicating with prospective buyers.

The data will be deleted once it is no longer required to process the enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests justify further storage.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

Technically necessary cookies may be used to provide the website in a functional, secure and user-friendly manner. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Where access to information on your device or the storage of information on your device is strictly necessary, this is carried out on the basis of Section 25 (2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).

Non-essential cookies, in particular for statistics, analytics, marketing, external media or tracking, are used only with your prior consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent granted can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

If this website does not use non-essential cookies, tracking or analytics tools, no corresponding data processing for analytics or marketing purposes takes place.

7. Embedded Videos and External Content

Videos or other external content may be embedded on this website. When such content is accessed, personal data, in particular IP address, browser information and usage data, may be transmitted to the respective provider.

If videos are embedded via external platforms, the provider may set its own cookies or use similar technologies. This will only take place where consent has been given or where a privacy-compliant embedding without automatic data transfer has been selected.

Where consent is required, the legal basis for embedding external content is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Otherwise, embedding is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, provided that our legitimate interest in an attractive and informative presentation of the property prevails.

8. Exposé Download

If an exposé can be downloaded directly from this website, technical access data will be processed during the download as described for general website visits.

If the download is available without registration or a contact form, no further personal data is collected for the download.

If the download is only available after entering contact details, this data will be processed in order to provide the exposé, handle the enquiry and, where applicable, continue communication in connection with the property.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR where the enquiry relates to pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

9. Disclosure of Data

Personal data is generally not disclosed to third parties unless this is necessary to process an enquiry, arrange a viewing, prepare a property sale, comply with legal obligations or protect legitimate interests.

Disclosure may in particular be made to technical service providers, hosting providers or other service providers who support us in operating the website. Where required, such service providers are engaged on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Data is disclosed to other third parties only where there is a legal basis, consent has been given or this is necessary for pre-contractual or contractual measures.

10. Storage Period

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes.

Data from enquiries is deleted once the enquiry has been fully processed and no statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests justify further storage.
