2. WHAT SOURCES AND DATA DO WE USE?

We process personal data that we receive from you in the course of using our website and, if applicable, our business relationship.

In the case of purely informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. When you access our website, we collect the following access data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. The access data includes the IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (i.e. name of the specific website accessed), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred in each case, referrer URL (previously visited page), operating system and its interface language and version as well as type of browser software, notification of successful retrieval.

Purpose

Legal basis

Insofar as you have given us consent to process personal data for certain purposes, in particular for contacting you (e.g. sending newsletters, advertising approaches by telephone, e-mail, SMS), the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent.

Consent given can be revoked at any time. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is therefore not affected by the revocation. The revocation can be sent to the contact details above or to info@ysrealestate.de.

Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO

When contacting us (by contact form, e-mail or via a real estate portal), your information will be processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing.

In addition, the processing is also used for the execution of the contract, e.g. for the brokerage of real estate objects, fulfillment of the brokerage contract, advice on individual real estate objects and after-sales support.

Fulfillment of a contract and implementation of pre-contractual measures at the request of the person, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO

When you first visit our website, you will be asked if you want to accept only necessary cookies or all cookies – if you select all cookies, this will also allow us to conduct marketing activities based on your interactions with the website, other marketing channels and other third parties such as social networks.

To learn more about cookies, including how to manage and delete them, see the Cookies section below.

Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO

To contact you by mail, we may process contact data from publicly accessible directories (e.g. foreclosure files, documents in the building archive or land registry) in order to contact you. However, this will only be done if the processing is in line with your interests or the weighing of the conflicting interests comes to the conclusion that our economic legitimate interests prevail. Within the framework of the balancing of interests for the protection of legitimate interests, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO

When you contact us (via contact form or e-mail) in connection with your application, we process your data in order to check your suitability for the position (or other open positions in our companies, if applicable) and to carry out the application process. Your applicant data will be screened by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department managers responsible for the respective open position. There, a decision will be made on the further procedure. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who require this for the proper conduct of our application process. Establishment of an employment relationship, § 26 BDSG and after completion of the application process in case of rejection to protect legitimate interests, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO (defense against claims), if applicable, if consent has been given, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO

We process your access data (see data listed above under point 2) to protect legitimate interests of us or of third parties. In particular, we pursue the following legitimate interests:

  • Ensuring IT security, especially the security of the website;
  • advertising or market and opinion research, unless you have objected to the use of your data;
  • Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes;

After sales support

Within the framework of the balancing of interests for the protection of legitimate interests, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO

4. WHO GETS MY DATA?

Within the company, access to your data is granted to those departments that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations.

Processors used by us (Art. 28 DSGVO) may also receive data for the above purposes. These are companies in the categories of IT services, hosting provider telecommunications, advice and consulting, and sales and marketing. Where we use processors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions and corresponding technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.

Data is only passed on to third parties who are not order processors within the framework of legal requirements. We only pass on users’ data to third parties if this is necessary, for example, on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) DSGVO for contractual purposes or on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO in the economic and effective operation of our business operations, or if you have consented to the transfer of data. In the case of purely informational use of the website, we generally do not pass on any data to third parties.

If you commission us as a broker, we will pass on your personal data to the buyer or seller and, if necessary, to notaries, banks, lawyers and the relevant property management company in order to prepare the purchase contract.

5. HOW LONG WILL MY DATA BE STORED?

For security reasons (e.g. to clarify acts of abuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of four weeks and then deleted (see point 2 above). Data whose further storage is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.

As far as necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes, for example, the initiation of a contract via contact form or by e-mail.

Applicant data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of a rejection. In the event that you have consented to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data will be deleted if you revoke your consent or after 5 years at the latest. Should we fill the advertised position with you, your data will be stored in our personnel management system.

In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations arising from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO), among other things. The retention and documentation periods specified there are two to ten years.

Finally, the storage period is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to Sections 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), are generally 3 years, but in certain cases can be up to thirty years, with the regular limitation period being three years.

6. WHEN DATA ARE TRANSFERRED TO A THIRD COUNTRY OR TO AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION TRANSMITTED?

The data provided will be processed within the European Union as well as in the USA. Please note that we have agreed to EU standard data protection clauses with recipients of your data for states without an adequacy decision by the Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR, as is the case with the USA (such as Google ).

Note: The protection of personal data in the USA does not correspond to the level of data protection required by the EU. In particular, there are no enforceable rights that safeguard the protection of your data against access by government agencies. Thus, there is a risk that these government agencies can access the personal data without the data transmitter or the recipient being able to effectively prevent this.

 

7. WHAT DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS DO I HAVE?

Each data subject has

  • the right to information according to Art. 15 DSGVO (i.e. you have the right to request information about your personal data stored by us at any time). ,
  • the right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 DSGVO (i.e. in the event that your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be rectified) ,
  • the right to erasure according to Art. 17 DSGVO and the right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 DSGVO (i.e. you may have the right to request the erasure or restriction of the processing of your personal data if, for example, there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for such processing and legal retention obligations do not require the continued storage) ,
  • the right to data portability from Art. 20 DSGVO (i.e. you may have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance) .

Furthermore, you can revoke consents, in principle with effect for the future.

In addition, there is a right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 DSGVO in conjunction with § 19 BDSG). You can find the supervisory authority responsible for you at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

In addition, we would like to point out your right to object according to Art 21. DSGVO:

Information about your right to object according to Art. 21 DSGVO

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1), first sentence, point (e) of the GDPR (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR (data processing based on a balance of interests).

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

In individual cases, we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

8. TO WHAT EXTENT IS THERE AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING IN INDIVIDUAL CASES, INCLUDING PROFILING?

In the context of accessing our website or in the context of contacting us by form or e-mail, we do not use fully automated decision-making pursuant to Article 22 DSGVO. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you about this separately if this is required by law. We do not process your data automatically with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects (profiling).

 

9. AM I OBLIGED TO PROVIDE DATA?

Within the scope of our website, you must provide the personal data that is required for the use of our website for technical or IT security reasons. If you do not provide this data, you will not be able to use our website.

10. NEWSLETTER

With the following information, we inform you about our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and evaluation procedure and inform you about your rights of objection. If you subscribe to our newsletter, you agree to receive the newsletter and the described procedures.

Newsletter content: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter “newsletter”) only on the basis of the consent of the recipients or on the basis of a legal permission. If we specifically describe individual newsletters as part of the registration process, this description is decisive for the consent of a newsletter subscriber. If there is no separate description, you will receive information about our products, offers and promotions as well as information about our company in our newsletters.

Double-Opt-In: The registration for our newsletter takes place in the so-called double-opt-in process. This means that after registration for the newsletter, we will send you an e-mail in which we ask you to confirm your registration. This confirmation serves to ensure that only persons who have access to the specified e-mail address register for our newsletter. We log the registrations to the newsletter in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the newsletter service provider are also logged.

The newsletter dispatch takes place via “service provider”. You can view the privacy policy of the newsletter service provider here: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

For sending newsletters, we use services of CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, located in Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter: “CleverReach”). The data is stored on servers in the EU. CleverReach uses the data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without traceable assignment to a user, to optimize its own services. However, CleverReach does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties.

To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your e-mail address. Furthermore, we ask you to provide a first and last name, for the purpose of personal address in the newsletter.

The newsletters contain a so-called web beacon, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the newsletter service provider when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and your reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the

reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The newsletter is sent and its success is measured on the basis of the recipients’ consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a), Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with Section 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG or on the basis of statutory permission pursuant to Section 7 Para. 3 UWG.

The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter.

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consents. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. If users have only subscribed to the newsletter and cancelled this subscription, their personal data will be deleted.

consent via our cookie banner, you consent to the processing of your data in the USA, despite potential access by US authorities, Art. 49 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

The processing of the data is a joint responsibility between Google and us pursuant to Art 26 GDPR.

GDPR, ensuring data subject rights pursuant to Article 15 et seq. DSGVO, notification of data breaches pursuant to Articles 33, 34 DSGVO). Google processes the data to evaluate the use of our website by website visitors, to create reports about the activities within our website and to provide other services related to the use of the website. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of the website visitors are created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other data from Google.

Further information on data processing by Google, setting and objection options are available on Google’s websites at https://www.google.de.

11.2.2 Google Ads

We use the Google Ads service of Google Ireland Limited (registration number: 368047), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) on the basis of your consent. The processing of the data is a joint responsibility between Google and us in accordance with Art 26 DSGVO.

GDPR, ensuring data subject rights pursuant to Article 15 et seq. GDPR, notification of data breaches pursuant to Articles 33, 34 GDPR).

The processing of data within the scope of this service also takes place in the USA. With Google LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission have been concluded within the meaning of Art. 46 (2) c) DSGVO. Despite the conclusion of standard data protection clauses with Google, there are corresponding risks associated with the processing of your data in the USA. By giving your consent via our cookie banner, you consent to the processing of your data in the USA, despite potential access by US authorities, Art. 49 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Google Ads is a service for placing advertising banners on the Internet, which allows us to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows us to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google’s search engine results exclusively when the user performs a keyword-relevant search. In the Google Ads network, our ads are displayed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the keywords we have previously defined.

The purpose of our use of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying advertisements on the websites of third-party companies and in Google’s search engine results and, if applicable, to display third-party advertisements on our website.

If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your computer by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you, but to track whether certain subpages of our website have been accessed. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether you have reached our website via an Ads ad, completed an action (e.g. a purchase) or cancelled it.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via ads. We thus determine the success of our respective ads and are able to optimize our ads for the future based on this information. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.

Whenever you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google in the USA. You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already explained above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of your internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your computer. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the internet browser. Furthermore, it is possible to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the internet browsers you use (on any device) and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
