Use of Google Analytics with anonymization function
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help us analyze how users use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Because IP anonymization is activated on our web pages, your IP address is first masked (abbreviated) by Google within member states of the European Union and in other countries signed up to the agreement outside of the European Economic Area. It is only in exceptional cases that a complete IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the US and masked there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to us relating to website activity and Internet usage. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of our website (including your IP address) being sent to or processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
You will find more details at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de (general information on Google Analytics and data privacy). Please note that on our website the code "gat. anonymizeIp();" has been added to Google Analytics in order to ensure IP masking.

a) Use of Twitter
This website features components of Twitter. Twitter is a service provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.
Every time someone accesses one of our web pages that features one of these components, the component creates a prompt informing you that the browser you are using is downloading a corresponding visualization of the Twitter component. Through this process, Twitter is notified about which specific pages on our website are being visited at any one moment.
We have no influence on the data that Twitter collects this way or on the scope of the data collection by Twitter. To our knowledge, the URLs of the relevant web pages and the IP address of the user are used by Twitter for no other purpose than to reproduce the Twitter components. For further information, refer to Twitter’s privacy notice at http://twitter.com/privacy.
You can change your privacy settings under account settings at http://twitter.com/account/settings.

We use the “privacy enhanced” mode made available by YouTube.
When you visit a page that features an embedded video, a connection is established with the YouTube servers, which then instruct your browser to show the content on our website.
According to YouTube, in “privacy enhanced” mode, data (in particular, about which of our web pages you visited) is only sent to YouTube’s servers when you watch a video. If you happen to be logged in to YouTube at the same time, this information will be associated with your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before you visit our website.

Rights of the data subject
You have the right:
Lawfulness of processing
Article 6, Paragraph 1 (a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing procedures where we receive consent to process the data for a specific purpose. Where the processing of personal data is required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the legal grounds for processing can be found in Article 6, Paragraph 1 (b) of the GDPR. The same applies for processing that is required in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract, as would be the case when dealing with enquiries into our services. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example, for the purpose of complying with tax obligations, processing is based on Article 6, Paragraph 1 (c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. For instance, this would be the case if a visitor to our company was injured and we needed to provide their name, age, insurance details or other vital information to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The basis for this would be Article 6, Paragraph 1 (d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing can also be based on Article 6, Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR if it is not justified by any of the aforementioned legal grounds and if it is required for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the company or a third party, insofar as the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Processing of this kind is permitted to us because it is expressly mentioned by European legislators, who took the view that a legitimate interest can also exist if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).
Legitimate interests in the data processing, pursued by the controller or a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6, Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the execution of our business operations for the benefit of the well-being of all our staff and clients, tenants, users and other contacts.
Legal or contractual guidelines on the provision of personal data; Requirement for performance of contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide their data; Potential consequences of non-provision
Please note that the provision of personal data may be partly required by law (e.g. for tax purposes) or may arise from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner). From time to time it may also be necessary that a data subject provides us with their personal data for processing by us for the performance of a contract. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company is signing an agreement with them. Failure to provide those data may result in an inability to sign the contract with the data subject. Before a data subject provides their personal data, they must contact one of our staff who will explain to the data subject in detail whether the provision of their personal data is required by law or for the performance of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide their personal data and the potential consequences of failing to provide those data.
Right to object
You have the right at any time to have your personal data confirmed, corrected, updated, supplemented, anonymized, blocked, restricted or erased. You may object to the use of your personal data at any time. Simply send us an email.
Data security
Within the context of visits to our website, we employ the popular SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Usually this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we employ 128-bit v3 technology. You can tell if one of our web pages is encrypted by the key/lock symbol in the bottom status bar of your browser. We also implement appropriate technological and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are constantly optimized in line with the latest technological developments.
Changes to privacy notice
We reserve the right to make changes to our privacy notice, where required. The updated privacy notice will be published on our website. Please check the relevant page regularly. Subject to applicable laws, all changes come into effect at the time they are published. Where we have already collected data on you and/or are subject to a legal obligation to inform, we will inform you separately of any significant changes to our privacy notice and ask for your consent.
