1. Privacy at a Glance
General Information
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the full privacy policy below.
Data Collection on This Website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator’s contact details in the section “Information on the Controller” in this privacy policy.
How do we collect your data?
Some data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, include data you enter into a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically, or after you have given your consent, when you visit the website through our IT systems. This primarily includes technical data such as your internet browser, operating system, or the time a page was accessed. This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to receive information, free of charge at any time, about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data.
If you have given your consent to data processing, you may revoke that consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You may contact us at any time if you have questions about data protection.
Analytics Tools and Third-Party Tools
When visiting this website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily using analytics programs. Detailed information on these analytics programs can be found in this privacy policy.
2. General Information and Mandatory Information
Data Protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various types of personal data may be collected. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, what we use it for, and how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet, for example when communicating by email, may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Private property management
Hochstätter - Hausverwaltung
Berliner Str. 97a
45145 Essen - Germany
Phone +49 215 156 9497
essen-home@mail.com
Storage Period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data, such as retention periods under tax or commercial law. In such cases, deletion will take place once those reasons no longer apply.
Information on Data Transfers to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries outside the EU that may not provide an adequate level of data protection under EU law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in such third countries.
Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities may process, analyze, and permanently store data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object Under Article 21 GDPR
If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions. The relevant 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 unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address bar from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose.
The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of that verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to Promotional Emails
The use of contact data published in connection with the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website. These third-party cookies enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third party.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you, or to optimize the website are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of that consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Our website uses the consent technology of Borlabs Cookie in order to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser or to the use of certain technologies, and to document such consent in a data protection compliant manner. According to the provider, the borlabs-cookie stores consent-related information such as cookie runtime, version, domain/path, consent choices, and a random UID, and no visitor data is transmitted to Borlabs.

When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser in which the consents you have given, or the withdrawal of those consents, are stored. According to Borlabs, these data are stored on your own server and are not passed on to Borlabs.
The collected data will be stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
Further information is available here:
Borlabs Cookie – Which data is stored?
The use of Borlabs Cookie is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, as we are required to obtain legally valid consent for the use of certain cookies and technologies.
Contact by Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data such as your name and the content of your request, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where such consent has been requested.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your inquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.
4. Analytics Tools
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In this context, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, dwell time, operating systems used, and the origin of users. These data may be aggregated by Google into a profile assigned to the respective user or device.
Google Analytics may also record interactions such as mouse movements, scrolling behavior, and clicks. In addition, Google Analytics uses various modeling approaches and machine-learning technologies to supplement and evaluate collected data.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of users for the purpose of analyzing user behavior, for example cookies or device fingerprinting. Information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
If and to the extent that consent is required, the use of Google Analytics is based exclusively on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Google provides information on its Analytics data processing terms in its Help Center, including where account holders can review the applicable terms in the Admin area. Additional GDPR-related information from Google is available here:
Google Business Data Responsibility / GDPR
IP Anonymization
We have activated IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide further services relating to website use and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by installing the browser add-on available from Google’s tools page: Google Analytics Browser Add-on / Tools
For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google’s help and privacy pages:
Google Analytics Help – Data Processing Terms
and Google Privacy Policy.
Data Processing Agreement
Google states that Google Analytics customers can review the applicable data processing terms in their account settings, and that the Google Ads Data Processing Terms supersede the previous Google Analytics Data Processing Amendment.
