Purpose of processing:
The booking data is processed in order to forward the booking request to a potential landlord and to provide this information for a decision on the request.
In addition, the booking data may be processed for the assertion and defense of legal claims.
Legal basis:
The legal basis for the processing of the mandatory data is the initiation of a contract, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. For all other booking data, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR or the legitimate interest of a third party. The landlord has a legitimate interest in making as informed a decision as possible about potential tenants. We have a legitimate interest in processing your telephone number in order to be able to offer customer-friendly and customer-specific support.
Insofar as the booking data is processed for the defense or exercise of legal claims, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in being able to defend ourselves against claims or to assert claims.

If the booking is made, the above-mentioned data will be deleted in accordance with the information in the section "Making a booking".
d) Authentication
As part of the booking process, it is important for us and the landlords that users and potential tenants identify themselves. We therefore ask you to authenticate yourself immediately before completing a booking. However, you can voluntarily decide to carry out authentication at an earlier stage in order to save time at a later stage. As part of the authentication process, you will be asked to hold your ID card up to the camera and
- take a photo of the front of your ID document,
- take a photo of your face (selfie).
The recordings are made via your camera directly during the authentication process. The data is then analyzed by our service provider. However, only data that is required for identity verification is processed. This includes in particular the first name and surname, date of birth and the period of validity of the ID card. Other data is neither used nor stored by our service provider for the purpose of verification unless it is required for verification.
You are neither legally nor contractually obliged to provide us with the aforementioned data. Without this data, however, authentication is not possible, so we cannot process your booking request.
Purpose of the processing:
The data is processed for the purpose of fraud prevention, the prevention of identity fraud. In addition, the data may be processed for the assertion and defense of legal claims.
Legal basis:
The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the controller or a third party, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The landlord and we have a legitimate interest in preventing cases of fraud, including cases of identity fraud.
Insofar as the data is processed for the defense or exercise of legal claims, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in being able to defend ourselves against claims or assert claims accordingly.
Duration of processing:
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Photos of the ID card or face are deleted immediately after authentication has been completed.
If the data is processed for the assertion and defense of legal claims, it will be deleted after the final conclusion of the legal dispute, whereby enforceable titles can be stored for up to 30 years.
Integration of Veriff
We use a service provider to carry out authentication. For this purpose, we use the services of Veriff OÜ, Niine 11, 104014 Tallinn, Estonia ("Veriff"). This serves to prevent fraud, prevent identity fraud and verify the identity of users on our platform. Veriff also uses AI for this. There is also the option of verifying the address or age.

This website uses the following types of tools, the scope and function of which are explained below.
Cookies that are stored in your web browser:
Transient cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store, for example, a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your web browser to the shared session.
Persistent cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. Persistent cookies make it possible, for example, to recognize your end device when you return to our website. You can delete these cookies at any time in your web browser settings.
The aforementioned cookies are stored on your device and transmitted to our server or read by us. You can therefore configure the processing of data and information by cookies yourself.

b) On what legal basis are tools used?
The processing of personal data by necessary tools serves to make our website more user-friendly and effective for you. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of these tools. In particular, some functions of our website require that your web browser can be identified even after a page change. If you have an account, we use tools to identify you for subsequent visits. This prevents you from having to log in again each time you visit our website. The data processed by tools that are required to provide the functions of our website are not used to create user profiles.
Where optional tools are used for analysis purposes, these are used to improve the quality and user-friendliness of our website, its content and functions. They enable us to understand how the website, which functions are used and how often they are used. This enables us to continuously optimize our offering.
Our legitimate interest in data processing lies in the aforementioned purposes, provided they are necessary tools (section 8). The legal basis in these cases is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the necessary tools are required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Insofar as these are not necessary tools, but functional tools (section 7), analysis tools (section 6) or marketing tools (section 9), we only use these with your express consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
c) How do we obtain your consent?
To obtain and manage your consent, we use the CookieFirst tool from the provider Digital Data Solutions B.V., Plantage Middenlaan 42a, 1018DH, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

This banner appears the first time you visit our website and when you call up the selection of your settings again in order to change them or revoke your consent. The banner will also appear on subsequent visits to our website if you have deactivated the storage of cookies or if the cookie or the elements in CookieFirst's local storage have been deleted or have expired.
As part of your website visit, your consent or revocation, your IP address, information about your browser, your end device and the time of your visit are transmitted to Digital Data Solutions. CookieFirst also sets necessary cookies and stores information in local storage in order to retain your consents and revocations. If you delete your cookies or information in local storage, we will ask you for your consent again when you visit the site at a later date.
Data processing by CookieFirst is necessary to provide you with the legally required consent management and to comply with our documentation obligations. The legal basis for the use of CookieFirst is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, justified by our legitimate interest in fulfilling the legal requirements for cookie consent management.
To revoke your consent, please refer to section 13. You can adjust the tools used under the heading "Privacy settings" at the end of this privacy policy and revoke your consent for them there.

10. Storage duration
In principle, we only store personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected the data. Thereafter, we delete or anonymize the data immediately, unless we still need the data for evidence purposes until the statutory limitation period for civil law claims expires or due to statutory retention obligations.
For evidentiary purposes, we must retain contractual data for three years from the end of the year in which the business relationship with you ends. Any claims expire at the earliest at this time in accordance with the statutory limitation period.
Even after this time, we must still store some of your data for accounting reasons. We are obliged to do so due to statutory documentation obligations, which may arise, for example, from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, the German Banking Act, the German Money Laundering Act and the German Securities Trading Act. The periods specified there for the retention of documents are two to ten years. Insofar as we store your data to fulfill such legal obligations, this is done on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR in conjunction with the respective specific retention obligation.
Additional information on the storage period can be found in individual sections of this privacy policy.
11. Forwarding of data
The data collected by us will only be passed on if:
- you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR,
- the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data
- we are legally obliged to disclose your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, in particular if this is necessary for legal prosecution or enforcement due to official requests, court orders and legal proceedings, or

They are contractually bound by our instructions, have suitable technical and organizational measures in place to protect the rights of the data subjects and are regularly monitored by us.
12. Data transfer to third countries
As explained in this privacy policy, we use services whose providers are partly located in so-called third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) and/or process personal data there, i.e. countries whose level of data protection does not correspond to that of the European Union. If this is the case and the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for these countries (Art. 45 GDPR), we have taken appropriate precautions to ensure an adequate level of data protection for any data transfers. These include the standard contractual clauses of the European Union or binding internal data protection regulations.
Where this is not possible, we base the data transfer on exceptions under Art. 49 GDPR, in particular your express consent or the necessity of the transfer for the fulfillment of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
If a transfer to a third country is planned and there is no adequacy decision or suitable guarantees, it is possible and there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. secret services) may gain access to the transferred data in order to collect and analyze it, and that the enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed. When obtaining your consent via the cookie banner, you will also be informed of this.
