Data protection declaration
Thank you for your interest in our online presence. We are very concerned about the protection of your personal data. At this point we would therefore like to inform you about the data protection policy in our company. We of course follow the legal regulations of the Data Protection Act (BDSG) of the Tele-Media Law (TMG) and other legal data protection regulations.
You can trust us when it comes to your personal data! They are encoded using digital security systems and then transferred to us. Our websites are protected by technical means against damage, destruction or unauthorized access.
Subject of data protection
Personal data is the subject of the data protection. These are individual pieces of data in accordance with § 3 paragraph 1 of the Data Protection Act (BDSG) about personal or factual relationships of a definite or determinable natural person. Details like name, postal address, email address or phone number, if necessary even use-based data like your IP-address, are examples of this type of data.
Scope of data collection and storage
In general you are not required to give personal information when using our internet page. In order to protect our offer from abuse, the IP-address of your computer can be stored. However, we may need your personal information so that we can actually render our services. This applies when replying to individual inquiries, for obligatory bookings and for completion of contracts.
If you send us an inquiry or booking, we only store your personal data, in principle, for as far as this is necessary for the execution of the contract. Furthermore, we also keep the stored data after implementation of the contract until this right is revoked. When you send us an inquiry or booking, we collect and save your personal information in principle only in as far as it is necessary for the provision of service or the implementation of the contract.
If you have applied for our newsletter with your email address, we shall use your email address even after the execution of the contract for advertising purposes until you cancel your subscription of the newsletter.
Data use for a specific purpose
We adhere to the principle of using data for a specific purpose and we collect, process and store your personal information only for purposes for which you have sent it to us, as well as for administrative purposes and for in-house analyses. The passing on of your personal information to third parties does not take place without your express consent, provided that this is not necessary for the provision of service or for the implementation of the contract. For instance, your complete name and in some cases even some other personal details are transmitted to the landlord when you sign the contract. The passing on of your information to state institutions and authorities authorized to gather information also takes place only within the context of the legal obligations of information gathering or if we are obligated by a court decision to provide information.
We also take the in-house protection of data privacy very seriously. We have also obliged our employees and the service providers engaged by us to observe the oath of secrecy and to comply with the legal provisions of data protection.
We never ask personal information such as passwords, credit card information and account access by e-mail. In case you should receive such e-mail, it is very likely to be a phishing attempt. Please contact us immediately upon receipt of such e-mail by phone.
