When you visit our website, certain data are transmitted to our web server by the browser for the purpose of displaying the information provided correctly:
When you visit our website, third party companies collect certain anonymous information. These third party companies can use the non-personal information to offer you advertisements about goods and services that are likely to interest you. Cookies and/or web beacons (small invisible graphics that can be used to record, collect and evaluate simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website) can be used for this purpose. You can visit WWW.NETWORKADVERTISING.ORG find out more about this kind of commercial advertising.
The legal basis for the data processing described above for the purpose of providing and tailoring our website to requirements is Article 6 para. 1 lit. b and/or Article 6 para. 1 lit. f.
Your data will only be processed in our systems and will not be passed on to third parties. Depending on which functionalities of our website you use, it may happen that we share your personal data with service providers or cooperation partners.

You have the option of accepting or rejecting cookies. The majority of web browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can usually specify in the browser settings that cookies should be rejected. If cookies are rejected, you may no longer be able to use some functions of the website. If cookies are accepted, you can delete the accepted cookies at a later point in time. If you delete the cookies, all settings that are controlled by these cookies, including advertising settings, will be deleted and may no longer be restored. Further information on the cookie settings of common web browsers can be found under the following link:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymisation has been activated on this website so that the IP address of Google users within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting States of the Agreement on the European Economic Area is shortened beforehand. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in the privacy policy of Google:
HTTPS://SUPPORT.GOOGLE.COM/ANALYTICS/ANSWER/6004245?HL=DE
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing these data by clicking on the following link
(HTTP://TOOLS.GOOGLE.COM/DLPAGE/GAOPTOUT?HL=DE) and downloading and installing the available browser plug-in.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website:
We use the Google reCaptcha service to determine whether a person or a computer makes a certain entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following information to check whether you are human or a computer: IP address of the end device used, the website that you visit on our site and on which the captcha is integrated, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in with Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas as well as tasks in which you have to identify images. The legal basis for the data processing described is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing, to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated input (attacks).
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-related, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and App browser history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalised advertising in your Google account; follow this link to do so:
HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SETTINGS/ADS/ONWEB/.
The data collected are summarised in your Google account exclusively on the basis of your consent, which you can give to Google or revoke (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymised analysis of the visitors to the website for advertising purposes.
Further information and the privacy provisions can be found in the privacy policy of Google at:
HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/POLICIES/TECHNOLOGIES/ADS/.
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
We use so-called conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. If you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the computer of the user. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify users personally. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked by means of the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” takes place on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
You can find more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking in the privacy policy of Google:
HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.DE/POLICIES/PRIVACY/.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

For the purpose of inviting and holding events, documenting the event by means of image and sound recordings and using the resulting recordings for press and public relations work and marketing purposes, Instone Real Estate Group SE processes image and sound recordings of the event.

The data are generally deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of time.
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social media. The individual social media we use can be seen below. Social media such as Instagram, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn and Google, etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media site triggers numerous privacy-related processing operations.
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media site, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data can also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, these data are recorded, for example, using cookies that are stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media site. If you have an account on the respective social media, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations can therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.
Our social media appearances are intended to ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social media may be based on different legal bases that must be specified by the operators of the social media (e.g. consent within the meaning of Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Instagram), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can exercise your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) against us as well as claim against the operator of the respective social media portal. Please note that, despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our possibilities are largely based on the company policy of the respective provider.
The data collected directly by us via the social media site will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage no longer applies, you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Saved cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected. We have no influence on the storage period of your data which are stored by the operators of the social media for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social media directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
