entire service range and web offering are not aimed at children and young
people under the age of 18. Even though young people and children under the age
of 18 can use our website, we neither knowingly nor deliberately collect

consent, we will immediately delete all data collected in relation to this
individual unless we are legally obligated to store it.

Name, e-mail address, IP address, information which is collected via cookies
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR.
Concluding rental agreements with us / using the service range offered by
us
Our
business model consists of letting furnished student apartments as well as providing
a comprehensive media (e.g. Internet use) and leisure offering, such as
organizing social events in our buildings. As part of the initiation,
fulfilment and execution of the contractual relationships existing with us,
information about you is collected which is required for the respective
execution of contract, or which is created by the use of our services (e.g.
using the Internet).
Information
collected:

address, telephone number, e-mail address, nationality, date of birth
(optional:) information about your course of study, payment information (bank
account details), IP address when using the Internet connection operated by us.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b), f) GDPR.
Attention: Your
payment information is only stored by us if you have concluded a rental
agreement or are using other payable services. Personal information which is
requested by others within this context is only stored for as long as is
required for execution of contract and possible subsequent contract-related correspondence.
Documents relevant legally for commercial or/and taxation matters which contain
personal information are stored for as long as required by the legally
stipulated retention periods of the German Commercial Code and the Fiscal Code
for the retention of said documents. The traffic data, which is collected if
you use the Internet connection offered and operated by us, is saved by us for
7 days for purposes of checking misuse and solving disruptions, and is then
deleted to the extent that this is legally permitted. Special categories of
personal data sent voluntarily, such as health-related information, are only
saved by us for as long as is required for fulfilment of contract or is legally
required. If you send us special categories of personal data which we do not
require for fulfilment of contract, this information is immediately deleted.
Tenants of our buildings
Security
for our tenants plays an important role for us. In order to guarantee security,
video cameras can sometimes be operating in the vicinity of our buildings,
though these are clearly visible and marked as such. The video cameras’ sole
purpose is to prevent any specific dangers for tenants and the property as a
whole, and therefore serve our legitimate interests.
Information
collected: Image data
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR
Attention:
Image
data relating to you which is no longer required will be deleted by us without
delay. This generally takes place within an specific evaluation period.
Facebook/
WahtsApp Communities
The
range of services offered by us includes setting up so-called Facebook- or
WhatsApp-Communities for each respective location. If you have concluded a
rental agreement with us, you have the opportunity to enter discussion groups
with other tenants within Facebook Communities. Access to the respective
Facebook Community is only granted to tenants, as well as our employees who
manage the respective Community.
Facebook-
and WhatsApp-Communities are a service provided by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4
Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland (“Facebook”).
When
you visit our Facebook page, Facebook will collect your IP address and other
information in the form of cookies on your computer, among other things. This
information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook page, with
statistical information about the use of the Facebook page.
Facebook
provides more information on this at the following link:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?lang=de
http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights
The
data collected about you in this context will be processed by Facebook and, as
part of this, possibly transferred to countries outside of the European Union.
Facebook describes what information it obtains and how this data is used in
general terms in its data policy. Within this policy, you will also find
information on ways to contact Facebook and possible settings for
advertisements.
The
data policy is available at the following link:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?lang=de
http://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy
The
full data use policy of Facebook can be found here:
https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy
The
way in which Facebook uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own
purposes, the extent to which activities on the Facebook page are associated
with individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from
a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties is not conclusively
and clearly stated by Facebook and it is not known to us.
When
you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your device is
transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized
(for “German” IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. In addition, Facebook
also stores information about its users’ devices (e.g. as part of the “Login
Notification” function); Facebook may therefore be able to assign IP addresses
to individual users.
If
you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook
ID is located on your device. This enables Facebook to see your visit to this
page and how you used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages.
Facebook buttons which are integrated into websites allow Facebook to record
your visits to the pages of these websites and assign them to your Facebook
profile. Content or advertising can be offered which is tailored to you on the
basis of this data.
With
this data, we enable you from day one to get in contact with fellow tenants
within your building and enjoy the unique student experience of an
international community within a city of your choice. As a Communities
provider, we also collect and process the following data stemming from the use
of the service:
Information
collected:
Facebook username
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR.
How we use your data / legal basis
We
exclusively use your data to be able to provide you with our services, execute
our contracts with you, answer your enquiries, adhere to our legal obligations
as well as design and develop our offering to be attractive and appropriate for
you.
All
data collected in this way has either been voluntarily provided to us by you,
or we require it for the establishment, drafting or changing of the contractual
relationship (inventory data), or we are legally obliged to collect it, or have
a legitimate interest in its collection (e.g. for marketing purposes: to
analyze and improve our offering, our services and the content on our websites,
or to avert risks).
Note
on the right of cancellation: If we
process your personal information based on our legitimate interests and an
“exit option” exists, e.g. based on a corresponding standard formulation, you
can make use of your right of cancellation at any time by sending us an e-mail
at support@k-apart-student.de.
How we forward
your information to third parties
We
will never offer your information for sale to third parties.
We
only transfer personal information to third parties if this is required as part
of execution of contract, e.g. banks entrusted with payment processes, if we
are legally obligated to or if the division of labor within our company
requires the forwarding of this information to our partners and subsidiaries.
The
basis for data processing is article 6 paragraph 1 b) GDPR, which permits the
processing of data for fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures,
art. 6 c) GDPR if we are legally obligated to process your personal
information, e.g. by national registration authorities (e.g. sections 19, 30 of
the Federal Registration Act [Bundesmeldegesetz]) and article 6 f) to
the extent that data is forwarded to affiliated subsidiaries and partner
companies.
We
share your information with subsidiaries and partner companies affiliated with
us for business purposes such as internal management, the promotion of our
products and the provision of our services for our customers (e.g. our
website). It is in our legitimate interest to share your personal information
for these purposes with these companies or to have this information processed
by these companies on our behalf. Most of these companies are located within
the European Union, as are the corresponding servers on which your data is
stored. In addition, your data could also be forwarded to non-European
countries for the purposes of internal administration, e.g. Canada or the USA.
As part of this we strive to offer outstanding protection for your data by
either only transferring to non-EU countries which the European Commission has
made an adequacy decision on, or by using so-called standard contractual
clauses from the European Commission (e.g.: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en)
Disclosure requirements
We
disclose your personal information to law enforcement authorities,
investigative authorities, our subsidiaries or in legal proceedings if we are
legally obligated to do so or it is absolutely essential to do so for the
execution of services, or the protection of our rights or the rights of our
subsidiaries or users.
Sale or merger
In
the case of a merger, takeover or sale of all or part of our assets, we may
pass on your personal information. It goes without saying that we will announce
this via e-mail and/or with a clearly visible notification on our website, and
inform you about your rights.
A Transfer and disclosure of
aggregated data
We
share data in aggregated form and/or in a form which does not allow
the recipient to identify you using this data – such as third parties for
industry analysis.
How we ensure the security of the data collected by us
Protecting
your personal information is very important to us. Although we use appropriate
protective measures to protect your personal information which we collect,
please note that security systems are not infallible.
We
use several appropriate technical and organizational measures and industry
standards to protect your personal information, and therefore guard against
loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access and publication, changes and
destruction. The personal information collected from you and stored by us is
located on computer systems with limited access. In addition, we require the
third parties appointed by us to safeguard appropriate security measures for
the data sent by us.
How long we store your data for
We
will store your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil our
contract with you or provide our services, to adhere to applicable laws
(including laws relating to the retention of documents), to resolve disputes
with other parties or enable the use of our website. All the personal
information which we store is subject to this privacy policy and our internal
storage and deletion concept. If you want to know in concrete terms how long we
store specific personal information collected about you and processed by us,
e-mail us at support@k-apart-student.de
Your rights

In
specific cases you have the right to request that we limit the processing of

The right to withdraw consent and object to the processing of data pursuant
to art. 7 para. 3, art. 21 GDPR
If
you have already provided your consent for processing your data, you are able
to withdraw this consent at any time effective for the future. If you exercise
this right, this will affect our ability to process your personal information
after expressing this wish to withdraw consent.
Insofar
as we base the processing of your personal information on the balance of
interests, you may object to this processing. This is particularly the case if
said processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, for
instance. When exercising such a right of withdrawal, we ask you to explain the
reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done
previously. In the event of you submitting your justified objection, we will
examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing or explain to
you our legitimate reasons to continue processing your information.
Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to art. 77 GDPR
We
are always committed to finding a solution with you if you identify problems
with our use of data. However, if you should be of the opinion that we were
unable to help solve the problem, you also have the right to lodge a complaint
with a data protection supervisory body about our processing of your personal
information.
We
rely on you to ensure that your personal information is complete, correct and
up-to-date. Please inform us immediately about changes to or inaccuracies in
your personal information by sending an e-mail to support@k-apart-student.de.
We
are committed to handling your enquiry as quickly as possible, and within a
maximum period of 30 days. You can get more information on how you can check
the collection and use of additional usage data and your preferences relating
to communications, marketing and advertising in the section use of cookies and other (marketing) tools.
Use of cookies and other (marketing) tools
Use of cookies
In
an effort to make a visit to our website more attractive, in addition to the
data named above, so-called cookies are also saved on your computer when you
use our website. Cookies are small text files which are saved to the storage
assigned to your Internet browser on your hard disk. The cookie set
by a body (in this case us) is then used to transmit certain information back
to the body. Cookies cannot run programs or transfer viruses to your computer.
The following types of cookies could be set by us:
TRANSIENT COOKIES
Transient
cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These
particularly include session cookies. These store a so-called session ID which
assigns the various requests from your browser during the joint session. This
allows your computer to be recognized again when you return to the site.
Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
PERSISTENT COOKIES
Persistent
cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary
depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time using the security
settings within your browser.
To
the extent that personal information is collected or saved by the implemented
cookies, its processing either takes place in accordance with art. 6 b) GDPR to
fulfill your contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures on the request
of the person in question, or in accordance with art. 6 f) in realizing our
legitimate interests in maintaining the functionality of our website as well as
its user-friendly and effective organization.
You
can set up your browser in such a way that you are informed about the setting
of cookies and can decide individually on whether to accept them or to reject
the use of cookies in certain cases or completely. Every browser differs in the
way it manages its cookie settings. The Help menu of your browser describes how
to change the cookie settings.
Use of Google Analytics
We
use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service from Google LLC,
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google uses
cookies. The information generated by the cookie on a user’s use of the website
is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
On
our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of our website
by the user, compile reports on the activities within this website and provide
us with other services related to the use of this website and the Internet.
Pseudonymous usage profiles of users may be created from the processed data.
We
exclusively use Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which
ensures the anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and prevents the
possibility of directly linking it to any particular individual. This means
that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within the member states
of the European Union or in other nations that are party to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the whole IP address
first be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In
these cases, the processing takes place pursuant to art. 6 f) GDPR in realizing
our legitimate interests for marketing purposes and maintaining the
attractiveness of our website. The IP address sent by the user’s browser will
not be connected with other data from Google.
You,
as the user, can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the corresponding
settings in your browser software. In addition, you can also prevent the
collection of data produced by the cookie and associated with your use of the
website as well as its processing by Google by downloading and installing the
browser plugin available at the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Google
LLC, based in the USA, is certified as part of the US-European data protection
agreement “Privacy Shield” which guarantees compliance with the data protection
level applicable in the EU.
More
information on how Google Analytics handles user data is available in the
Google Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
We
use the “Google AdWords” online advertising program and conversion tracking as
part of Google AdWords on our website. Google Conversion Tracking is an
analytical service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain
View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). When you click on an advert delivered by
Google, a cookie for the conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These
cookies become invalid after 30 days, contain no personal
information and therefore do not serve for personal identification.
If
you visit specific pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we
and Google can recognize that you have clicked on the advert and have been
directed to that page. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different
cookie. There is therefore a possibility that cookies can be tracked via the
websites of AdWords customers.
The
information gathered by this conversion cookie serves to generate conversion
statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. As
part of this, customers can find out the total number of users who have clicked
on their advert and were directed to a page using the conversion tracking tag.
However, they do not [R6] receive any information that can be used to identify
users personally.
If
you do not want to participate in tracking, you can reject this use by
preventing the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in
your browser (disable option). By doing so, you will not be included in the
conversion tracking statistics. You can find more detailed information as well
as the Google privacy policy at: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/, http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
Use of Google
Maps
We
use Google Maps (API) on our website from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre
Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service
for displaying interactive (country) maps for presenting geographical
information visually. Using this service will show you our location and
facilitate finding directions to reach us. The data processing takes place
pursuant to art. 6 f) GDPR in realizing our legitimate interests for marketing
purposes and maintaining the attractiveness of our website.
Every
time the “Google Maps” component is opened, Google sets a cookie in order to
process user settings and data when displaying the page on which the “Google
Maps” component is integrated. This cookie is not generally deleted on closing
the browser, but instead expires after a specific period of time unless you
manually delete it before such time.
If
you are not in agreement with this processing of your data, the option exists
to deactivate the “Google Maps” service and prevent the transmission of data to
Google in this way. To do this, you have to deactivate the JavaScript function
in your browser. However, please note that in this case you will not be able to
use “Google Maps” or only use the service to a limited extent.
The
use of “Google Maps” and the information attained via “Google Maps” is governed
by Google’s terms of use
https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de&gl=de
as
well as the additional terms and conditions for “Google Maps”
https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html
Use of Google Remarketing
We
use the “Google Remarketing” service on our website, a service provided by
Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
Google Remarketing can be used to activate advertisements for users who have
already visited our website in the past. Within the Google advertising network,
advertisements adapted to your interests can therefore be displayed on our
site. Google Remarketing uses cookies for this evaluation. This makes it
possible to recognize visitors if they visit sites within the advertising
network of Google. In this way, advertisements can be displayed within the
advertising network of Google relating to content which the visitor has
previously accessed on websites within said network which also use the Google
Remarketing feature. According to its own information, Google does
collect personal information as part of this. You can deactivate this
feature by changing the corresponding settings in
https://adssettings.google.com/.
Use of Instagram
Our
website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) by Instagram, which are
operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA
(“Instagram”). These plug-ins are marked with an Instagram logo, e.g. in the
form of an “Instagram camera”.
When
you visit a page of our website containing said plugin, your browser
establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. The contents of the
plugin are sent from Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the
page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your
browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not
[R7] have an Instagram account or are not currently logged in to Instagram.
This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser
directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there.
If
you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly link your visit to our
website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plug-ins, e.g. by
clicking the “Instagram” button, this information is also sent directly to an
Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your
Instagram account and displayed to your contacts there.
Please
see Instagram’s privacy policy for more on the purpose and scope of data
collection and the further processing and use of data by Instagram, as well as
your related rights and settings options for protecting your privacy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/
If
you do not want Instagram to directly link the data gathered on our website to
your Instagram account, you have to log out of Instagram before visiting our
website. You can also completely prevent Instagram plugins from loading using
add-ons for your browser.

offering is not aimed at children and is also not designed for them. We do not knowingly
record any personal information from children or send them any request to enter
such information. Even though visitors of all ages can use our website, we do
not intentionally collect personal data from people under the age of 18. If a
parent or legal guardian informs us or we find out in another manner that a
child under the age of 18 has unlawfully registered with false information on
our website, for example, we will immediately delete the corresponding account
and the personal information associated with it.
How
can you contact us if you have any more questions about the privacy policy?
We
hope that we were able to provide a privacy policy which was as comprehensive,
understandable and transparent as possible for you. Feel free to get in touch
with us at any time with any questions at support@k-apart-student.de or using
the contact information listed in the legal notice.
