Data collected and used

immoviewer can collect and receive customer data and other information in various ways.

As an interested party in objects

When you call up 360° tours or real estate videos, we store and process information about them in a log file. This process is anonymized. It is not possible to draw conclusions about your person without registration. To be saved: The date and time of the page view, the page viewed or the name of the file viewed, the amount of data transferred and the message as to whether the access/view was successful. The evaluation serves only the statistical preparation and improvement of our services. A permanent storage is excluded.

For some objects it is necessary to register personally or to be activated. For the activation, personal information such as title, name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and time of acceptance of the revocation instruction are stored. After activation and registration of an object, the following data is collected, stored and statistically evaluated during the virtual tour: Number of visits to the object, length of stay and visit to object pages, access to further embedded information such as audio, video or text information.

As a website visitor

This data is stored and evaluated exclusively for technical reasons to ensure the trouble-free operation of the website and to improve our offer. This is done anonymously without personally identifying the user of the site.

If necessary, user profiles are created using a pseudonym. Here, too, there is no connection between the natural person behind the pseudonym and the collected usage data for collecting and storing the usage data, we also use cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your computer and are used to store statistical information such as the operating system, your Internet usage program (browser), the IP address of the previously accessed website (referrer URL) and the time.

International data transmission

Customer data and other information are processed and stored by immoviewer or service providers commissioned by immoviewer within the European Union.

immoviewer can transfer data to the USA. When immoviewer transfers data from the European Union to the USA, precautionary measures are applied, i.e. we work with service providers who guarantee the data protection standards in accordance with the EU-US data protection shield.

immoviewer uses Google Analytics, an analysis service of Google Inc, USA, for websites and mobile apps to enable an analysis of your use of the websites and mobile apps. The information generated is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. 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 this website.

immoviewer uses the cloud service of ZOHO Corporation, USA for customer administration and billing.

Security

We take data protection very seriously. Our employees are bound to secrecy and to comply with data protection regulations. The service companies commissioned by us have been carefully checked and selected. Due to the nature of communication and information processing technology, immoviewer cannot guarantee that information transmitted over the Internet or stored on our systems or otherwise in our care is absolutely safe from intrusion by third parties.

Right to information and complaints

You have the right to request information from us at any time about the personal data we have processed concerning you within the scope of Art. 15 GDPR.

They also have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority.

Right of objection

Under the conditions of Art. 21 (1) GDPR, data processing may be objected to for reasons arising from the particular situation of the data subject.

The foregoing general right of objection applies to all processing purposes described in this Privacy Information that are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In contrast to the special right to object to data processing for advertising purposes, according to the GDPR we are only obliged to implement such a general objection if you give us reasons of overriding importance (e.g. a possible danger to life or health).

Right of revocation

Insofar as we process data on the basis of a consent given by you, you have the right to revoke the consent given at any time. The revocation of the consent does not mean that the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the time of the revocation becomes ineffective.

Right to cancellation

If you no longer agree to the storage of your personal data or if your data is no longer up-to-date, we will – to the extent permitted by applicable law – arrange for your data to be blocked or deleted or make the necessary corrections
