Purposes of data processing, legal basis, and duration of data storage

We process personal data on the website we operate for the following purposes:

Contact form and email

When you contact us (for example, by email or using the contact form), the information you provide will be processed for the purpose of handling your inquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. According to this, data processing is lawful if the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring the protection of personal data prevail, in particular if the data subject is a child. Our legitimate interest lies in processing the contact request. You can object to this data processing at any time if there are reasons that exist in your particular situation. To do so, simply send an email to info@elsmannimmobilien.de.

The personal data stored in the context of establishing contact will be deleted once the matter associated with the contact has been fully clarified and it is unlikely that the specific contact will be relevant again in the future.

Server log files

When you use the website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. The so-called server log files include:

• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/HTTP status code
• Amount of data transferred in each case
• Website from which the request originates
• Browser
• Operating system and its interface
• Language and version of the browser software.

This data is not merged with other personal data that you may actively provide on the website. We collect server log files for the purpose of displaying and administering the website, ensuring stability and security, and detecting and preventing unauthorized access.

The personal data in log files is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. According to this, data processing is lawful if the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring the protection of personal data prevail, in particular if the data subject is a child.

Our "legitimate interest" consists in providing our website, facilitating administration, and enabling us to detect and track hacking. You may object to this data processing at any time if there are reasons that exist in your particular situation. To do so, simply send an email to info@elsmannimmobilien.de.

The server log files containing the above data are automatically deleted after 7 days at the latest. We reserve the right to store the server log files for longer if there are facts that suggest the assumption of unauthorized access (such as an attempt at hacking or a so-called DDOS attack).
