1. Processing of personal data

a) User account

You have the option of creating a user account on the website. In this account you can, among other things, view the status of the purchase process, the contact details of your estate agent and appointments. Within the scope of registration, Ziegert GmbH processes the following personal data: Salutation, first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number. After registration you will receive an e-mail from Ziegert GmbH with a link to confirm your registration. If you click on the confirmation link, you will subsequently be asked to set a password for your user account. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR. The data will be stored until you deactivate your user account. Legal storage obligations remain unaffected. Your personal data will also be made available to the broker in respect of whose offer you have made an enquiry. The purpose of the data transfer is that you can contact the broker directly and that the broker can inform you of the status of the process via the account. The legal basis for the data transfer is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR.

b) Contact option

You have the option of contacting Ziegert GmbH via the website (e.g. by e-mail, via the contact form). If you submit an enquiry or request the transmission of one of our brochures (e.g. Investor's Guide), Ziegert GmbH processes your personal data (depending on the enquiry, title, first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number, content of the message) in order to respond to your enquiry. If the processing of your enquiry relates to services or offers of other companies of the Ziegert Group or requires the involvement of these companies, we will pass on your personal data to Ziegert GmbH, Zimmerstraße 16, 10969 Berlin, so that the company can contact you directly. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR. The collected data will be stored for as long as is necessary to process the request and then deleted, unless further data storage is required or justified by law.

Furthermore, you have the option to book an appointment for a personal meeting with one of our sales representatives via the website. The booking is done through our service provider Calendly LLC, 88 North Avondale Road Suite 603, Avondale Estates, GA 30002, United States ("Calendly"). The booking process works as follows: you may submit a request on our website and have to answer some qualification questions, e.g. how many rooms the property you wish to purchase should have, what your maximum affordable price is or whether you have organised financing or not. We will process your name, email address, phone number, the content of your request and the answers to the questions. You will then be redirected to the Calendly site. Here you can select a date and time to book an appointment with one of our sales staff.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR. The transfer of data to Calendly, including the transfer to the U.S., is secured via the standard contractual clauses. The collected data will be stored as long as necessary for the organization and execution of the appointment and then deleted, unless further data storage is required or justified by law.

c) Cooperation with other companies of the Ziegert Group

Depending on the assignment, it may be necessary for us to involve other Ziegert companies in the course of initiating or executing the contract, e.g. if you seek advice from us on a property or service (e.g. financing). This enables us to tailor the offer to your needs in the best possible way. This cooperation enables us to put together suitable property offers and services for you from the diverse Ziegert range. For this purpose we exchange your personal data, i.e. name and e-mail address with other Ziegert companies:

ZIEGERT Bank- und Finanzierungsconsulting GmbH, Zimmerstraße 16, 10969 Berlin, for advice on financing options for the purchase of a property. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as the exchange of data is necessary for the performance of the contract or the provision of pre-contractual measures at your request. In addition, we occasionally exchange personal data in order to offer you the opportunity to be informed about all services and offers of all Ziegert companies so that you can benefit in the best possible way from the close cooperation and the provision of services "from a single source". This procedure also corresponds to our legitimate interests of a full service offer. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data collected will be stored for as long as is necessary for the contractual relationship or you do not object to receiving the information. Subsequently, the data will be deleted unless further data storage is required or justified by law.

d) Notifications

On our website we offer the possibility for you to save your criteria for searching for a property and to receive a notification by e-mail as soon as new properties matching the search criteria are available. For this purpose, Ziegert GmbH processes your title, first and last name, e-mail address and the search criteria you have selected (e.g. location of the property, budget, number of rooms, area, other features). Before sending the notification, you must expressly confirm to us within the framework of the so-called double opt-in procedure that we should activate the notification service for you. For this purpose, you will receive a confirmation and authorisation e-mail from us, with which we ask you to click on the link contained in this e-mail and thereby confirm to us that you would like to receive the notifications. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, e.g. via the following e-mail address: hallo@ziegert-company.com. The collected data will be stored as long as you do not object to receiving the notifications. Subsequently, the data will be deleted unless further data storage is required or justified by law.

2. Processing of personal data during informative use

In the case of merely informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not log in to use the website, register, use the contact form or otherwise transmit information to us, we do not collect any personal data, with the exception of the data that your browser transmits to enable you to visit the website (for example, IP address, date and time of the request, browser type and pages viewed). No personal exploitation takes place, except in the cases described in this privacy policy. The statistical evaluation of anonymised data records is reserved. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as the data processing is necessary for the provision of our offer. Data processing beyond this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring the security and effective use of our website. The automatically collected personal data is stored within the scope of the statutory retention periods and then deleted immediately.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will process this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Some of the cookies are session cookies. Others expire within 24 hours, 90 days or 1-2 years. The data collected with Google Analytics is deleted within 26 months.

The data processing is based on your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. The transfer of data to Google is based on Art. 28 GDPR in conjunction with the respective data processing agreement. We have concluded EU standard contractual clauses (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en) with Google to secure the transfer of your personal data to third countries and will take additional security measures to the extent necessary to compensate for the lower level of data protection in the U.S. compared to the level of data protection in the EU.

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Google Tag Manager service itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain, but helps us to load and manage third-party website tags and connect this website to respective services, for the use of which you have provided your consent.

bb) Marketing Cookies

We use marketing cookies to display advertisements that better match your interests. Furthermore, the cookies help us to evaluate the effectiveness of our advertisements. We currently use the following marketing cookies:

(1) Google Ads

In order to run online advertising campaigns and to measure and improve their success, we use the Google Ads service, a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and as part of this, conversion tracking. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. It allows Google to recognize your Internet browser and records, for example, a unique cookie ID, the number of ad views per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (ads with which the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users.

We only use Google Ads if you give your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. Google acts as a data controller for Google Ads and may process your personal data for other purposes. We have no influence on the data or the scope of data collection by Google. We also have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to Google. Details on data processing by Google can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

For the transfer of your personal data to third countries for which there is no adequacy decision, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en) with Google and take additional security measures to the extent necessary to compensate for the lower level of data protection in the respective recipient country (e.g. in the USA) compared to the level of data protection in the EU.

Users who do not wish to participate in tracking can also easily deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via their internet browser under user settings by setting your browser to block cookies from the following domain: googleadservices.com. Alternatively, you can disable interest-based advertising at http://www.google.de/ads/preferences or disable general cookies at http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. These users will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can find more information about data protection in the context of Google Ads at this link: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

This website does not place any third-party ads via Google AdSense. The data collected with Google AdSense is automatically deleted after 90 days.

We only use Google AdSense if you give your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. Google acts as a data controller for Google Ads and may process your personal data for other purposes. We have no influence on the data or the scope of data collection by Google. We also have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to Google.

You can also prevent the installation of cookies from Google AdSense in other ways: By adjusting your browser software accordingly; in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies will result in you not receiving ads from third-party providers. By deactivating Google's interest-based ads via the link http://www.google.de/ads/preferences, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies. By opting out of interest-based ads from the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.

Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once.

In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser's website and make a purchase.

6. Newsletter

You will only receive promotional information sent to your e-mail address if you have consented to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose. To receive our newsletter, you must provide your e-mail address. Before the newsletter is sent, you must explicitly confirm that you want us to activate the newsletter service for you using the so-called double opt-in procedure. For this purpose, you will receive a confirmation and authorisation e-mail from us, with which we ask you to click on the link contained in this e-mail and thus confirm to us that you would like to receive our newsletter. This data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, we may use your e-mail address for direct advertising of our own goods or services that are similar to goods and services that you have purchased from us, provided that you have not objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose. In this case, the legal basis is § 7 para. 3 UWG, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future or object to the use of your e-mail address for the purpose of direct advertising, e.g. via the following e-mail address: hallo@ziegert-company.com or via the link contained in every newsletter. To retrieve the information we have stored about you for this purpose, send us an email to hallo@ziegert-company.com.

a) Use of the dispatch service provider GetResponse

The newsletter is sent using GetResponse, an offer of GetResponse S.A. (limited liability company under Polish law), Arkonska 6/A3, 80-387 Gdansk, Poland.

GetResponse is a web-based platform that provides tools to build, manage and store a mailing list. The platform is stored on servers in Poland, France, Germany and the United States. GetResponse uses the email address to send and evaluate newsletters on our behalf. However, GetResponse does not use your data to write to you itself or to pass it on to third parties.

For the transfer of your personal data to third countries for which there is no adequacy decision, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with GetResponse (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en) and take additional security measures to the extent necessary to compensate for the lower level of data protection in the respective recipient country (e.g. the USA) compared to the level of data protection in the EU.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of GetResponse. We have concluded a data processing agreement with GetResponse. This is a contract in which GetResponse undertakes to protect the data of our users and to process it exclusively on our behalf. You can view The legal basis for the data transfer is Art. 28 GDPR in conjunction with the respective datat processing agreement.

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", (invisible graphics), i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the GetResponse server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information on 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 their reading behaviour based on the 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 on. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our endeavour, nor the endeavour of GetResponse, to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve to identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to these or to send different content according to the interests of our users. The legal basis for carrying out the statistical surveys and analyses as well as logging the registration process is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of our users.
