On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will process this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website statistically, 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 any other data held by Google. The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics.

In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities, for control and for monitoring purposes, possibly also without any legal remedy.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have the certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can further track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data, as well as privacy settings, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

LinkedIn relies on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission as a legal instrument for data transfers from the European Union. As explained in the EU Data Protection FAQ document, these clauses are contractual obligations that require companies to protect privacy and data security when transferring personal data (e.g., between LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company or its customers and LinkedIn Corporation). LinkedIn companies follow standard contractual clauses to ensure that the data flows necessary to provide, maintain, and develop our services are legally secure.

Using this technology, personalized ads can be served to visitors of this website on LinkedIn. Furthermore, the possibility arises to generate anonymous reports on the performance of the advertisements as well as information on website interaction. For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight tag is embedded on this website, which establishes a connection to the LinkedIn server if you visit this website and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time.

In the privacy policy of LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy you will find more information on data collection and data use, as well as the options and rights to protect your privacy. If you are logged in to LinkedIn, you can deactivate the data collection at any time using the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising.

Google reCAPTCHA is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which allows website operators to check whether a user on their site is a human or a bot. This is to ensure that no bots interact on the website in an automated way.

On our website, we use Invisible reCAPTCHA V3, which no longer requires theUser to perform any action themselves. Google checks in the background of the page itself whether the user is a human or a bot. To do this, Google processes cursor movements and the user’s IP address. Thus, Google reCAPTCHA also processes information about the:

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website and mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are informed that an analysis is taking place as part of the data protection notice.

The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

As website operator, we have a legitimate interest in protecting our web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. The Google reCAPTCHA security tool represents a technical measure to ensure the security of processing in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO.

You can ask us questions and send us messages via the contact form, our e-mail address or by telephone. In these cases, the personal data of the sender, i.e. the user, transmitted with the inquiry will be stored. In this context, we would like to point out that transmission as an unencrypted e-mail involves certain security risks, as it is not possible to exclude the possibility of reading or unauthorized access. The processing of this data, which is transmitted in the course of sending a request, is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO of our legitimate interests to answer your request satisfactorily. If the request is aimed at the fulfillment of an existing contract or the conclusion of a new contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. for the initiation and fulfillment of a contract. If consent is given, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The processing of this personal data serves us solely to process the contact. Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective request is answered and the conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and no contract has been concluded. Inquiries about the contractual relationship are stored for the duration of the existing contractual relationship.

All personal data that was stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case, provided that there are no legal retention periods to the contrary.

You can subscribe to our newsletter to receive information about current offers, product news, etc.. This may also include offers from the PRIMUS Group.

A sending of promotional information to your e-mail address within the scope of our newsletter will only take place if you have consented to the use of your e-mail address. Of course, you can revoke your consent to receive newsletters at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter or by informing us of your wish to unsubscribe via info@primusimmobilien.de.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation. This enables us to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data by third parties.

The newsletter is sent by means of the dispatch service provider “MailChimp”, a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and an order processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 p. 1 DSGVO. For data transfers to third countries, the EU standard contractual clauses have been agreed upon, which are a guarantee for an adequate level of data protection according to Art. 46 DSGVO. We inform that according to the case law of the ECJ, the USA is currently not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. Due to surveillance laws in the U.S., U.S. service providers may be obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without data subjects being able to appeal against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities, such as intelligence agencies, may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on servers of US service providers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

The dispatch service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.

In order to better understand how our newsletter is used, we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter based on our legitimate interests in optimizing the newsletter pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 llit. f DSGVO. By subscribing to the newsletter, you consent to the sending of the newsletter and evaluation in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. For this evaluation, the sent emails contain so-called web beacons, also called tracking pixels. These are single-pixel image files that link to our website and thus enable us to evaluate your user behavior. This is done through the use of web beacons, which are assigned to your e-mail address and linked to a separate ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain these.

The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in every email. Please note that you will then also no longer be able to receive the newsletter. The information will be stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.

Moreover, such tracking is not possible if you have deactivated the display of images by default in your e-mail program. In this case, the newsletter will not be fully displayed to you and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above-mentioned tracking will take place.

We record your contact data in our CRM system if you provide us with your contact details at the trade fair, e.g. by giving us your business card, entering a competition, or registering for our newsletter. We use your data to contact you as requested, to establish a business relationship and to send you information material (Art. 6 para. 1 lit a, b and f DSGVO).

You can apply to one of our companies electronically, in particular via e-mail at bewerbung@primusimmobilien.de. Your details will only be used to process your application.

Please note that e-mails sent unencrypted will not be protected against unauthorized access.

If you have applied for a specific position and it has already been filled, or if we consider you equally or more suitable for another position, we would be happy to forward your application within the company. Please let us know if you do not agree to forwarding.

Your personal data will be deleted immediately after completion of the application process, or after a maximum of 6 months, unless you have given us your express consent to store your data for longer or a contract has been concluded. Legal bases are thus Art. 6 para. 1 a, b and f DSGVO as well as § 26 BDSG.

Recipients of the data or categories of recipients

Within our organization, those entities will have access to your data that need it to fulfill contractual and legal obligations.

External service providers (order processors)

Your data will be shared with our IT and software service providers for maintenance and support to assist us in providing our services.

A processing of your personal data by contracted service providers takes place within the framework of order processing according to Art. 28 DSGVO.

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this will only be done if it is done to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests or if another legal basis permits this. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the processing of data in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DSGVO are met. I.e. the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU (EU adequacy decision) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

Among other things, services of companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these services are active, your personal data could be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We inform that the USA is currently not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law according to ECJ case law. Due to surveillance laws in the USA, US service providers may be obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without data subjects being able to appeal against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities, such as intelligence agencies, may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on servers of US service providers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

We process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties as well as clients, suppliers, service providers and customers in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO, in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed in this context, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing, are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. The data processed includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g. names and addresses), contact data (e.g. mail addresses and telephone numbers) as well as contractual data (e.g. services used, contract contents, contractual communication, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history). As a matter of principle, we do not process special categories of personal data, unless these are components of a commissioned or contractual processing. We process data that are required for the justification and fulfillment of contractual services and point out the necessity of their disclosure, unless this is evident to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies is made only if it is necessary in the context of a contract. When processing the data provided to us within the scope of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client as well as the legal requirements.

In the context of the use of our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests of the user to protect against misuse and other unauthorized use. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary for the prosecution of our claims pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. DSGVO.

The deletion of the data takes place when the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal duties of care as well as dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations. In all other respects, the statutory retention obligations apply.

If we receive your e-mail address and postal address in the course of concluding a contract, we may process this data in order to inform you about our own similar product and service offers by e-mail and post from now on. If you do not wish to receive any further advertising information by e-mail or post, you can object to the use of your contact data for advertising purposes at any time with effect for the future without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Processing of your personal data by contracted service providers takes place within the framework of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO.

Other service providers, partners and third parties

We may cooperate with other partners if it is necessary to fulfill our service offerings or if we are legally obligated to disclose data. These may be the following partners or third parties:

Wir legen Wert darauf, Ihre Daten innerhalb der EU zu verarbeiten. Es kann allerdings vorkommen, dass wir Dienstleister eWe make a point of processing your data within the EU. However, it may happen that we use service providers that operate outside the EU. In these cases, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is established before transferring your personal data. This means that a level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is achieved via EU standard contracts or an EU adequacy decision.

We process personal data that we receive in the course of our business relationship. In addition, to the extent necessary for the provision of our services and for the performance of contracts, we process personal data that we have received from other companies in our group of companies or from other third parties (e.g. credit agencies) in a permissible manner (e.g. for the execution of orders, for the performance of contracts or on the basis of consent given by you). In addition, we process personal data that we have permissibly obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. trade and association registers, press, media) and are allowed to process.

We process the following categories of personal data about you:

Personnel master data (name, address and other contact data, date of birth), if applicable order and contract data (e.g. delivery order), payment data, data from the fulfillment of our contractual obligations, advertising and sales data, documentation data (data from consulting and service discussions) and comparable data.

As far as necessary, we process and store personal data for the duration of the business relationship. This also includes the initiation and processing of a contract. For the duration of the existence of warranty and guarantee claims, the personal data required for this purpose will be stored. In addition, we store personal data insofar as we are legally obligated to do so. Corresponding obligations to provide proof and to store data result from the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) and the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung). The periods for storage or documentation specified there are six years in accordance with commercial law requirements under Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and up to ten years based on tax requirements under Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO). We delete personal data of the data subject as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies and legal retention periods do not prevent a deletion.

If personal data of a user is processed, the user is a “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR. He or she is entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis us as the controller:

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if the legal requirements are met, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO).

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned 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 (objection under Article 21(1) DSGVO).

If your personal data is processed 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 purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO).

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) DSGVO (data processing in the public interest) or on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO (data processing for the purposes of safeguarding a legitimate interest). This also applies to profiling based on this provision. In the event of your objection, 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 to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If 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 purpose of such marketing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

The objection can be made form-free and should preferably be addressed to: PRIMUS Immobilien AG Oranienburger Straße 3, 10178 Berlin-Mitte, e-mail: info@primusimmobilien.de

Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). For the conclusion of the contract it is necessary that you provide us with personal data. Without this data, we will usually have to refuse to conclude the contract or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract and may have to terminate it. If there is a legal obligation to provide the data, you are obliged to provide us with personal data. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject may contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

For the establishment and implementation of a business relationship, we generally do not use exclusively automated decision-making including profiling in the sense of Art. 22 DSGVO.

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation to send advertising and information materials not expressly requested is hereby prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

This privacy policy will be adapted continuously in the course of further development of the Internet or our offer. We will announce any changes on this page in good time. In order to be informed about the current status of our data usage regulations, this page should be called up regularly. (Current status: January 2021)
