Estate Agent Services
We process the data of our customers, clients and interested parties (uniformly referred to as “customers”) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. of the DSGVO in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying order. This basically includes the customer’s data (name, address, etc.), as well as the contact data (e-mail address, telephone, etc.), the contract data (content of the order, fees, terms, information on the brokered companies / insurers / services) and payment data (commissions, payment history, etc.). We can also process information on the characteristics and circumstances of persons or items belonging to them if this is part of our order. This can be, for example, information on personal circumstances, mobile or immovable property.
As part of our assignment, it may also be necessary for us to process special categories of data in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 DSGVO, in particular information on the health of a person. In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7, Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a DSGVO, we obtain the express consent of the customer, if necessary.
Insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or required by law, we disclose or transmit customer data within the scope of cover requests, conclusion and processing of contracts to providers of the brokered services/properties, insurers, reinsurers, broker pools, technical service providers, other service providers, such as cooperating associations, as well as financial service providers, credit institutions and investment companies, social insurance institutions, tax authorities, tax consultants, legal advisors, auditors, insurance ombudsmen and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). We can also commission sub-contractors such as sub-brokers. We obtain the consent of customers if this is required for disclosure/transmission (which may be the case, for example, in the case of special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 DSGVO).
The data will be deleted after expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of data retention is reviewed every three years; otherwise the statutory retention obligations apply.
In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion shall take place after their expiration. According to German law in the insurance and financial sector, consulting protocols for 5 years, broker contract notes for 7 years and broker contracts for 5 years as well as generally 6 years for documents relevant under commercial law and 10 years for documents relevant under tax law are subject to retention.

Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently check the log data if there are concrete indications of justified suspicion of illegal use.
Handling of personal data
Personal data are informations which help to determine a person, i.e. information which can be traced back to a person. This includes the name, email address or telephone number. But also data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites were viewed by someone count as personal data.
Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if the user consents to the collection of such data.

Comments and Posts
When users leave comments on the blog or other posts, their IP addresses are stored. This is done for the security of the provider if someone writes illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.). In this case, the provider himself can be prosecuted for the comment or contribution and is therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that contents of third parties, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online service. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) use the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the contents. However, we have no influence on whether the third party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as this is known to us, we inform the users about it.

The IP address is therefore required to view this content. According to current knowledge, the IP address is only used for this purpose. However, the provider has no influence on this if Getty Images stores the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as this is known to the provider, the users will be informed or the images will be removed.
