●
In conclusion:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 I sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO, if the processing is based on consent, Art. 6 I sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO, if the basis of the processing is a (possibly pre-contractual) contractual relationship and Art. 6 I sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, if the basis is our legitimate interest. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 I sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the legal basis is your consent, you are entitled to revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. If the legal basis is the legitimate interest, you are also generally entitled to object to the processing of personal data relating to you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. In this respect, Art. 21 DSGVO applies.
As a matter of principle, we will only disclose your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the disclosure, if there is a legal obligation or if you have given your consent. If data is transferred to third parties on the basis of a legitimate interest, this will be explained in these data protection provisions.
If your contact request concerns offers from other companies of the Engel & Völkers Group, we will transfer the personal data you have entered in this case to the respective company from the Engel & Völkers Group with your prior consent or - if legally permissible - on the basis of a so-called legitimate interest. We will not pass on your personal data beyond this.
When we refer to the "Engel & Völkers Group" in this data protection declaration, we mean the companies belonging to the Engel & Völkers Group as defined in §§ 15ff. AktG (German Stock Corporation Act) as well as the (master) licence partners which are directly or indirectly contractually affiliated to this group of companies and to which we also belong. A current overview of these licence partners can be found here: https://www.engelvoelkers.com/en-de/company/locations/).
In addition to the "Disclosure of your personal data" paragraph above, the following applies:
Recipients of personal data may be located outside the EEA/UK. Where personal data is transferred to locations outside the EEA/UK, we will ensure, as required by law, that your data protection rights are adequately protected, either because the European Commission has decided that the country to which personal data is transferred ensures an adequate level of protection (Art. 45 GDPR) or the transfer is subject to adequate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses) of the European Union agreed with the recipient (Art. 46 GDPR), unless the GDPR provides for an exception (Art. 49 GDPR). Furthermore, where necessary, we intend to agree additional measures with recipients to ensure an adequate level of data protection. Copies of the adequate safeguards (where we rely on them) and a list of recipients outside the EEA/UK can be requested. Please note that these copies may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect trade secrets or other confidential information.
II. You conclude a search or marketing contract with us, request an exposé from us or commission us to carry out a property valuation.

● Fulfilment of the contractual relationship or a pre-contractual legal relationship - also by independent real estate consultants cooperating with us - including billing and credit assessment (legal basis is Art. 6 I lit b. DSGVO as well as Art. 6 I lit. f DSGVO; the legitimate interest of us in connection with the transfer of data to independent real estate consultants follows from the freedom of choice to also fulfil contractual relationships with independent brokers or sub-brokers. The legitimate interest in carrying out credit checks follows from the legitimate interest in protecting against bad debts);
● Fulfilment of a legal obligation, in particular in connection with the Money Laundering Act; (legal basis is Art. 6 I lit. c DSGVO);
● Promotional information about properties that we or other licensed partners of the Engel & Völkers Group market (legal basis is Art. 6 I lit. f DSGVO; we have a legitimate interest in processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising.

If the legal basis is your consent, you are entitled to revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

Recipients of personal data may be located outside the EEA/UK.

Both - we and this license partner - are independently responsible for the respective data processing. We and this other licence partner do not have access to each other's data and do not process your data jointly. If you wish to assert data subject rights, please check in advance whether you wish to assert them against us or against the other licence partner of the Engel & Völkers Group who also processes your data.
