For this reason, we comply precisely with the statutory regulations on data protection when collecting and using your data. It is also important to us to inform you here exactly about the use and storage of your data on this website.

1. In General

Person-specific data, according to article 4, no. 1 of DSGVO [Basic Regulation on Data Protection], is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is seen as being identifiable if, directly or indirectly, he or she can be identified particularly by means of association with an identifying factor such as a name, an identity number, location data, an online identification or with one or more special characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.

Except where otherwise indicated in the following passages, in principle no person-specific data is collected, processed or used in connection with the utilization of our websites. On calling up our websites some information is transferred, e.g. IP-address, type and version of the web browser used, the operating system used, the website from which you have come and the time of your visit.

This data cannot be used by us to identify the individual users. The information is evaluated by us purely statistically and is used only to improve the attractiveness, content and functionality of our websites.

2. Collection and Processing of Person-Specific Data

Person-specific data is only recorded by us if you disclose this to us and if it is necessary for making use of our services. For example, we collect person-specific data if you want to rent/buy an apartment / a business from us or if you apply for a job or for training with us. If you contact us using our contact forms this takes place via coded connection. If you send us an e-mail via the envelope icon, this is uncoded.

Person-specific data transferred to us in this way is, of course, used by us solely for the purpose for which you disclose it to us at the time of contact. No farther-reaching use is made without your explicit consent.

3. No Transfer of Data to a Third Party

No data is transferred to a third party unless we are legally obliged to do so. To the extent that external service companies come into contact with your person-specific data, we have legal, technical and organizational measures, and regular controls, to ensure that they observe the regulations of the data protection laws.
