2. Hosting

We host the content of our website with the following provider:

Order processing

We have concluded an order-processing agreement (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Calvin Linke, Königstraße 4, 01097 Dresden

Phone: +49 162 1766880 Email: info@immobilienpartner-sachsen.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke a consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, where special categories of data under Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of an express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data, insofar as it is required to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. The data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the legal bases relevant in each specific case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, this also requires the transmission of personal data to these external bodies. We pass on personal data to external bodies only where this is required within the framework of the fulfilment of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in passing on the data, or where another legal basis permits the passing on of data. When using processors, we pass on personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid order-processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint-processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke a consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of the data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may, apart from its storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL / TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL / TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data collection on this website

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via a contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you supply there (e.g. name, email address, phone number, property address and your request), will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Inquiry by email, telephone or callback

If you contact us by email, telephone or via our callback form, or request a callback, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it (e.g. name, phone number, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The data you send us remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

Review of an estate agent's offer (file upload)

On our page "Maklerangebot prüfen" (review an agent's offer) you can send us another estate agent's offer as a PDF or photo so that we can review it for you. We process the file and its content as well as the details you enter in the form (type and postcode of the property, status of the agency agreement, name and telephone number or email address). Photos are reduced in size in your browser before sending. The offer may contain data of third parties, such as the name and contact details of the offering agent. We use these only for the review and do not contact them.

The file is not stored on our website or in our database. It is transmitted together with your enquiry as an email attachment to our mailboxes. Recipients are our technical service providers for hosting (Vercel), email delivery (Resend) and email mailboxes (Microsoft, freenet). Vercel and Resend are based in the USA; the transfer is safeguarded by EU standard contractual clauses.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (handling your enquiry, pre-contractual measures). We process third-party data contained in the document on the basis of our legitimate interest in carrying out the review you requested (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If no agency agreement is concluded, we delete the file after completing the review, at the latest after six months. If an agency agreement is concluded, we keep the file with the documents for that agreement until the statutory retention and limitation periods have expired. You can request deletion at any time by an informal email to info@immobilienpartner-sachsen.de.

Contact via WhatsApp

You can also reach us via WhatsApp. For this, our website has WhatsApp links, such as the round WhatsApp button at the edge of the screen, and some inquiry forms offer "WhatsApp" as a contact option.

The WhatsApp links are simple links without any embedded script. As long as you do not click one of them, no data is transferred to WhatsApp. When you click, a connection to WhatsApp is established; WhatsApp receives technical data such as your IP address. WhatsApp then opens with a prepared message that you send yourself. If you choose WhatsApp as the contact option in a form, we will message you via WhatsApp at the mobile number you provided.

The provider of WhatsApp in the European Economic Area is WhatsApp Ireland Limited (Ireland), a company of the Meta group.

To communicate via WhatsApp, we process your mobile number, your name or WhatsApp profile name, the content of our chat and, where applicable, the details you entered in the form in order to answer your inquiry. According to WhatsApp, message content is end-to-end encrypted. However, WhatsApp receives metadata such as your mobile number, the times of communication and device information, and may transfer this data within the Meta companies and to the USA. For transfers to the USA, WhatsApp LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in answering inquiries via the channel you have chosen (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Using WhatsApp is voluntary; you can always reach us by phone or email as well.

We keep chat histories until you ask us to delete them or they are no longer needed to handle your inquiry. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. For further information, please see the WhatsApp privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea.

Free valuation and online report

If you request a free valuation or a personal property report via our forms, we process the property and contact data you provide (e.g. property address, name, email address, phone number) in order to prepare and send you the requested assessment and to respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measure) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling your inquiry). The data remains with us until the purpose of processing no longer applies or you request deletion; statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Consent when submitting forms

Before submitting our forms, you confirm via a checkbox that is not pre-selected that you have taken note of this privacy policy and consent to the processing of your data to handle your inquiry. For evidentiary purposes, we store the time of your consent together with your inquiry. You can withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future; the lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Property value updater (half-yearly value updates by email)

In the property value calculator you can sign up for our value updater with your email address. The subscription covers two explicitly named purposes: (1) you receive an updated value estimate of your property together with information on the Dresden property market by email roughly every six months; (2) we may contact you personally by email about your property, for example when a favourable time to sell arises or there is concrete demand in your area. Contact via other channels (e.g. telephone) is not covered by this consent.

Data processed: your email address, the property details you entered in the calculator (property type, postcode/location, area, year of construction, condition, type of use, features), your chosen language and, as proof of your consent pursuant to Art. 7(1) GDPR, the time of sign-up, the version of the consent text, your IP address and browser identifier at sign-up, and the time of your confirmation.

Double opt-in: After signing up you receive a confirmation email. Your subscription only becomes active once you click the link it contains; without confirmation you will not receive any further emails. We delete unconfirmed sign-ups after roughly 30 days.

Legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 7(2) no. 2 of the German Act against Unfair Competition, UWG). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, via the unsubscribe link in every email or informally by email to info@immobilienpartner-sachsen.de. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Email service provider: We use Resend (Resend, Inc., USA) as a processor to send the emails. A data processing agreement is in place with Resend; the transfer of data to the USA is safeguarded by EU standard contractual clauses.

Storage period: Your data remains with us for as long as the subscription is active. After you unsubscribe, we retain a minimal record (email address, times of consent and withdrawal) for up to three years in order to honour the withdrawal and to be able to prove the earlier consent (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); the data is deleted thereafter.

Property enquiry and personal property link

On our listing pages you can request the brochure and documents for a property. We check every request by hand. If we approve it, you receive a personal link by email to your own property page with the address, brochure and released documents. If a buyer's commission applies to the property, you first conclude a brokerage agreement with us there. We do not send an automatic confirmation email. Such a personal link is also sent to prospective buyers who contacted us by phone or via a property portal, and to the buyers and financing banks of a property.

Data processed: first name, last name and email address; optionally your phone number and your message; the property enquired about, the chosen language and the channel through which you reached us; the time and wording of your confirmation that you are considering the purchase. If we already know your email address, we assign the enquiry to the existing contact. For the personal link we only store a checksum from which the link cannot be reconstructed, and the times it was sent, blocked and renewed.

Access log: We record when the link was opened (grouped per hour), which documents were downloaded and how many different devices used the link. To count the devices, our site stores a cookie (ips_objekt_geraet) with a randomly generated identifier in your browser when you first open the page. It is valid for 180 days and is only sent when you open personal property pages. We store only a checksum from which the identifier cannot be reconstructed, and no IP address in the access log. The log protects the owners' documents from a link being passed on unnoticed.

Brokerage agreement on the property page: If you conclude a brokerage agreement there, we store each of your confirmations with its time, the confirmed version of the documents with checksum, your IP address in shortened form (IPv4 to the first three blocks, IPv6 to the first three groups), the country and the device class. You receive the agreement together with privacy information for prospective buyers that describes this processing in detail. A copy of the proof records goes to a separate mailbox for contract records.

Buyer register (optional): In the enquiry form you can additionally tick that we may add you to our buyer register. You will find the same box later on your personal property page. The box is not pre-ticked and is not a condition for the brokerage agreement or for access to the property. By ticking it you allow us to send you suitable property offers by email and to contact you about your search by email, and by phone only if you have given a phone number. As a starting point for your search we take the type, postcode, town, district and asking price of the property enquired about, together with its coordinates. On your personal property page you can optionally add what you are looking for; we store that as well. We store the wording, version and time of your consent. After an enquiry via the form, we add you to the buyer register once we have processed the enquiry, not for enquiries we delete as spam. If you add yourself on your personal property page, this takes effect immediately. You can remove yourself at any time via the link in our email, via the button on your personal property page or simply by email to info@immobilienpartner-sachsen.de.

Legal basis for the enquiry, the link and the brokerage agreement is the performance of pre-contractual measures and of the contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). The access log and the contract records are based on our legitimate interest in being able to evidence agreements and protect the owners' documents (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The buyer register is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future; the lawfulness of processing carried out until then remains unaffected.

Recipients: our technical service providers for hosting (Vercel), database and file storage (Supabase), email delivery (Resend) and mailbox (Microsoft). Vercel, Supabase and Resend are based in the USA; the transfer is safeguarded by EU standard contractual clauses. Where a viewing, a purchase offer or the purchase contract is concerned, the seller and the notary's office recording the purchase learn your name and contact details.

Retention: Without a brokerage agreement and without the buyer register, we delete your data, including the access log, six months after the marketing ends or after a cancellation by you or by us, whichever comes first. You remain in the buyer register for three years from being added or until you remove yourself; we then delete the entry. We keep the brokerage agreement and proof records, like the agreements with owners, until the statutory retention and limitation periods have expired. A personal link remains valid for as long as the property is being marketed and you are listed as a prospective buyer; for buyers until the transaction is completed, for financing banks for as long as they are involved.

Property search request (buyer register)

Via the "search request" page you can tell us which property you are looking for. The sole purpose is to notify you when a property matches your details. A search request is not advertising consent: we contact you about matching properties because you specifically asked us to.

Data processed: your email address, the selected search areas, the property type, an optional budget range, the chosen language and, as evidence under Art. 7 (1) GDPR, the time of registration, your IP address and browser identifier, and where applicable the time of your confirmation.

Activation and confirmation: the search request is active immediately after submission. You receive a confirmation email straight away containing a confirmation link and a deletion link. Clicking the confirmation link is voluntary and serves as evidence that the email address belongs to you.

Legal basis is the performance of pre-contractual measures at your request (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in matching suitable properties (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Retention: a search request is valid for three years. After that we ask once whether the search is still current; without a reply the search request is deleted (Art. 5 (1) (e) GDPR). You can end it earlier at any time via the deletion link in your confirmation email or informally by replying to that email.

Market updates (newsletter)

When submitting a search request you can additionally and separately tick that you would like market updates on the Dresden property market. The box is not pre-ticked; without actively ticking it you will not receive any market updates.

Data processed: your email address, the chosen language and, as evidence of your consent under Art. 7 (1) GDPR, the time of registration, the version of the consent text, your IP address and browser identifier, and where applicable the time of your confirmation.

Legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, Section 7 (2) no. 3 of the German Act Against Unfair Competition). You may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future: via the unsubscribe link in every email, via your email client's native unsubscribe button, or informally by replying to our email. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

Sending service provider: we use Resend (Resend, Inc., USA) as a processor for sending emails. A data processing agreement is in place with Resend; the transfer of data to the USA is safeguarded by EU standard contractual clauses.

Retention: your data remains with us for as long as the subscription is active. After unsubscribing we retain a minimal record (email address, times of consent and withdrawal) for up to three years in order to implement the withdrawal and to be able to demonstrate the earlier consent (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR); the data is then deleted.

Anonymous reach and usage measurement without cookies

To see how often our pages are visited, at which step visitors leave our valuation calculator and how our ad landing pages are used, we run our own deliberately minimal count that is stored on our server. It works without cookies, does not access the storage of your device and is therefore not subject to the consent requirement under § 25 para. 1 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act).

Data processed: for each page view the path visited, a rough device class (mobile, tablet or desktop), the country of origin, where applicable the host of the referring page (never its path or search terms) and campaign tags from the address bar. For the valuation calculator, additionally which input step was reached and which property type was selected.

Additionally on our ad landing pages: whether a phone number was clicked and whether a form was opened, started or submitted, and whether the market range check was started and a result was shown. The page calculates the market range in your browser; the type and use of the property, the postcode, the living area and any price you enter are not sent to us. When you leave the page, also roughly how long it was open, in bands (under 10 seconds, under 30 seconds, under 1 minute, under 3 minutes, 3 minutes or more), and roughly how far the page was read, in quarters of the page length. A small script on the page sends this information to our server. It does not read anything from the storage of your device and does not store anything there. What you enter in a form is not part of this count. If your browser sends the "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy Control" signal (a privacy setting in your browser), we do not store this additional information. We store the time of this information only to the day.

Expressly not processed: your IP address, your full browser identifier, cookies, identifiers in the storage of your device, and any session or recognition identifier. The entries in the valuation calculator themselves (such as postcode, floor area, year of construction or the resulting estimate) are not part of this count either. The stored entries contain no identifier through which they could be linked to one another or to a person; no personal reference arises.

Legal basis is our legitimate interest in reliable, data-minimising measurement of the success of our own services (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Objection: you can object to this count at any time, informally by email to info@immobilienpartner-sachsen.de. Because the entries are not assigned to any person, we can neither single out nor delete individual entries. For the additional information collected on the ad landing pages (clicks, forms, market range check, time on page, reading depth), your browser's "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy Control" signal is sufficient from then on; the page view itself is still counted.

Retention: the entries are kept for no longer than 24 months and then deleted.

Partner portal for referral partners

Referral partners who promote our services with their own referral links or QR codes can be invited to a personal partner portal. There they see how often their links were opened, how many of the resulting inquiries we have verified as genuine and how far these have progressed (inquiry, mandate, marketing, sold, closed without sale). They also see the referrals we have confirmed. Each inquiry and referral appears only with its month and stage, without our clients' names, addresses or purchase prices.

Access: Only the partner's main contact person on record receives a personal link by email. It is valid for 30 days from the time it is sent; each use of the portal extends it to 30 days from that point. The portal only opens once you click the button on the page the link leads to. If the link has expired, a new one can be requested there up to 30 days after expiry and is sent to the email address on record. We block access if the partner becomes inactive, the contact person changes or our cooperation ends.

Data processed: the partner's name, the contact person's name and email address, the times of creation, sending, last use, expiry and revocation of the link, and checksums of the link and the session, from which neither can be reconstructed. We do not store the link itself in our database. We do not keep our own log of individual accesses.

Session cookie: After opening the portal we set a technically necessary cookie (ips_partnerportal) that keeps you signed in. It expires after 7 days of inactivity or when you sign out. No consent is required for this (§ 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG).

Protection against misuse and server logs: To prevent anyone from guessing links, we count how many times per hour someone tries to sign in or request a new link. For sign-in attempts we calculate a checksum from the IP address and the current hour. For requests for a new link we also calculate one from the internal ID we use for you as the contact person. We do not store the IP address itself. The counters are valid for one hour; expired ones are deleted during later access attempts. In addition, our host processes the data described under "Hosting" when the portal is accessed.

Legal basis is our legitimate interest in a transparent working relationship with our referral partners and in protecting access against misuse (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). As the contact person of a partner, you can object at any time, informally by email to info@immobilienpartner-sachsen.de; we will then block access.

Recipients: our technical service providers for hosting (Vercel), database (Supabase), email delivery (Resend) and mailbox (Microsoft). Vercel, Supabase and Resend are based in the USA.

Retention period: We keep the access data of a link until it is revoked or expires and for 30 days after that. We then delete it the next time a partner portal link is sent or opened. The figures behind the portal (opens per link and day, status of the inquiries) contain no information about the contact person; they come from our internal reporting and remain stored there.

Direct mail to law firms, tax advisors and businesses

We send addressed advertising letters about the services of Immobilienpartner Sachsen to law firms, tax advisors and businesses. The letters cover property value estimates and property sales. The following information is provided under Art. 14 GDPR.

Controller: The person named above under “Information on the controller” is responsible for this processing. You can contact us at info@immobilienpartner-sachsen.de.

Categories of data: We process the name of the firm or business, the contact person's name and salutation, and the business address. We also process publicly available professional information about the firm, such as areas of practice, specialist advisor titles and office locations.

Sources: The data comes from publicly accessible sources. These include:

the official tax advisor directory of the German Federal Chamber of Tax Advisors (Bundessteuerberaterkammer, Section 86b StBerG),
the Nationwide Official Register of Lawyers of the German Federal Bar (Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer, Section 31 BRAO),
the website of the firm or business.

Legal basis: Processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is direct marketing to business customers (Recital 47 GDPR).

Recipients: Printing and mailing service providers receive the data as processors. We do not transfer this data to third countries.

Retention period: We store the data for no more than 24 months after the last mailing. We then delete it. If you object, we retain only your name and address on a suppression list to ensure that you receive no further advertising letters.

Your rights: Under Art. 15 to 18 GDPR, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing. Under Art. 77 GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

5. Cookies and local storage

Cookies and consent

Our internet pages sometimes use what are known as cookies as well as comparable technologies (e.g. your browser's local storage). Cookies are small data packets and do no harm to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session storage) or permanently (e.g. local storage).

Technically necessary storage required for the operation of the website or for functions you have expressly requested is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or § 25 para. 2 TDDDG; consent is not required for this. All other storage, for example for embedding Google Maps or for Google Ads, is carried out exclusively with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. You manage your consent via our cookie notice; it can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

On the personal property pages we set the cookie ips_objekt_geraet with a random identifier. It is used only for the access log and is valid for 180 days (see "Property enquiry and personal property link").

In the partner portal for referral partners we additionally set the technically necessary session cookie ips_partnerportal. It keeps you signed in and expires after 7 days of inactivity or when you sign out (see "Partner portal for referral partners").

Local storage in the browser (local storage / session storage)

Our website uses your browser's local storage to provide certain settings and functions. Information is stored locally on your device and is not automatically transmitted to us or to third parties. You can view and delete this data at any time via your browser settings.

We use the following technically necessary entries:

Cookie consent (cookie-consent, local storage): stores your choice in the cookie notice (the version of the notice as well as the categories you have allowed or rejected) so that the notice does not appear again on every visit and your decision is respected permanently. The entry remains stored until you change your choice via the cookie settings, withdraw your consent, or clear your browser's local storage.
Value-estimate notice window (exit-intent-seen, local storage): stores a timestamp once our one-off notice window for the free value estimate has been shown to you, so that it is not displayed to you repeatedly (at most once within seven days). Only a timestamp is stored and no personal data.

Only with your consent to "Marketing" do we additionally store the entry ips-herkunft (local storage). It contains the ID of one of our partners' referral links through which you came to us, and the time. This lets us assign a later enquiry to the right partner. Each entry expires after 90 days. If you withdraw your consent, we delete the entry. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG).

The storage of the necessary entries listed above is carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 2 TDDDG, as it is strictly necessary for the functions you use, and on the basis of our legitimate interest in a technically error-free and user-friendly presentation of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Consent is not required for this.

6. Plugins and tools

Google Maps

This website uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We only embed Google Maps after you have consented to the use of functional cookies. As long as the map is not activated, no data is transmitted to Google. Only after your consent is the map loaded; in doing so, your IP address and possibly further data is transmitted to Google and may be transferred to servers in the USA. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and easy locating of the places we indicate. The storage of this data and the access to information on your device are carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG). The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future; you can load the map via the "Activate map" button or adjust and revoke your cookie settings at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information on the handling of your data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Analytics 4

This website uses the web analytics service Google Analytics 4. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics allows us to analyse the behaviour of website visitors, for example which pages are viewed, how our property valuation calculator is used and through which channels visitors find us. This evaluation is aggregated and serves solely to improve our offering. Google Analytics uses technologies (e.g. cookies) that enable your browser to be recognised. IP anonymisation is enabled, so your IP address is processed in truncated form; we do not use Google signals (cross-device tracking).

We only load Google Analytics after you have consented to the "Statistics" category. As long as no consent has been given, no analytics script is loaded and no data is transmitted to Google. Processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Your consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future, via our cookie notice or your cookie settings.

The recipient of the data is Google. Data may be transferred to Google servers in the USA; this transfer is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. The usage data collected via Google Analytics is automatically deleted once the retention period configured in Google Analytics has elapsed. Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Ads (measuring advertising success)

We advertise on Google. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

If you reach our website through one of our ads, Google adds a click ID to the URL, for example gclid. We load the Google Ads tag only after you have consented to the "Marketing" category. The tag reports each page view to Google. It also reports to Google when you send an enquiry via one of our ad landing pages or tap our phone number on any of our pages (conversion). If you came via an ad, Google links this report to the click. Google sets cookies for this purpose which, according to Google, are valid for up to 90 days. We have switched off personalised advertising and remarketing based on this data. Without your consent we do not load the tag, and no data reaches Google through it.

Reporting brokerage agreements: If you send us an enquiry, we store the click ID from the URL together with your enquiry so that we can evaluate ourselves which ads lead to enquiries. If you had consented to "Marketing" when sending it and a brokerage agreement is concluded within 90 days of your enquiry, we report the click ID, the time and the estimated commission, rounded to the nearest 1,000 euros to Google. We do not pass on your name, contact details or the address of the property. Without this consent we report nothing to Google.

If you reach us through an ad on Microsoft Bing, we also store its click ID (msclkid) with your enquiry. We do not load a Microsoft tag, and we currently do not transfer any data to Microsoft.

The legal basis for the tag and for reporting to Google is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG). You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future via our cookie notice. For an enquiry you have already sent, a short message to us is sufficient; we will then not report it to Google, unless we have already reported it, and we will delete the click ID. Storing the click ID internally for our own evaluation is based on our legitimate interest in cost-effective advertising (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). You can object to this storage at any time (Art. 21 GDPR); we will then delete the click ID. Otherwise we store it for as long as your enquiry.

The recipient of the data is Google. Google also processes this data under its own responsibility and stores it according to its own retention periods. Data may be transferred to Google servers in the USA; this transfer is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
