II. Use of cookies

a. If you use our website for purely informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or submit information in any other way, we will collect only those personal data that are transmitted to our server by your browser. If you wish to visit our website, we will therefore collect the following data which we require for technical reasons in order to be able to display the website and to ensure its stability and security as per Article 6(1)1f of the EU-GDPR:

b. In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer whenever you use our website. These are small text files which are assigned to the browser you have used and stored on your hard drive. They transmit certain information which is defined by the entity setting the cookies (in this case us). In the current state of technical development, cookies cannot run programmes or infect your computer with viruses. Instead, they serve solely to make our Internet presence more effective and user-friendly.


c. Our website(s) use(s) the following types of cookies, with the following respective scopes and functions:

Transient cookies
Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. In particular, these include session cookies, which store a so-called session ID that allows a number of different requests from your browser to be assigned to the same session. This allows us to recognise your computer whenever you return to our website. These session cookies are deleted as soon as you log out or close the browser.

Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a pre-defined period of time, which may vary from cookie to cookie. You can however delete the cookies yourself via your browser settings at any time.

d. You can change your browser settings to prevent third-party cookies, for example, or all cookies from being accepted. Please note, however, that this may limit the services provided by Roomle GmbH and have a negative impact on your usage of Roomle.

e. We also use cookies in order to identify you for subsequent visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise, you would have to log in every time you visit our site.

f. We use HTML5 storage objects, which are stored on your end device. These objects store the necessary data irrespective of the browser you use and do not have an automatic expiry date. You can prevent this processing by installing the corresponding add-ons on your browser or using the private browsing mode.

III. Collection and processing of personal data

All personal data other than the information stored by cookies is processed by us only if you voluntarily submit this data to us, for example by registering with us, entering into a contractual relationship with us or otherwise contacting us. This data is restricted to contact details and information relating to the issue at hand.

We will use the personal data you submit solely to the extent required to achieve the respective purpose of processing (e.g. registration, sending out newsletters, processing an order, sending out information and advertising material, processing a competition, answering a question, providing access to specific information) and/or as permitted by law (in particular Article 6 of the EU-GDPR, e.g. sending information and advertising material to existing customers).

Your data is processed for the purpose of providing our services and for the targeted provision of company-specific information, which includes presenting the goods and services we offer (marketing). Your data will only be used for purposes other than these if you have explicitly consented to this beforehand. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. This will be explained in more detail in the following.

IV. Storage duration

In general, we store those data that you have submitted solely for the purposes of customer support or marketing and information for a period of three years following our last contact. If you wish, we can erase your data before this period expires, insofar as there is no legal impediment to this.

In the event of the initiation or conclusion of a contract, we will process your personal data after the contract has been completely processed and until the warrantee and guarantee periods, the period of limitations, and the statutory retention periods that apply to us have expired and, beyond that, until the settlement of any legal disputes for which the data may be required as evidence.

V. Newsletter

You have the option of subscribing to our free newsletter. This newsletter is sent out at regular intervals and features the latest news and information about our company and customised advertising. In order to receive our newsletter, you will need a valid email address.

We will verify the email address you enter into our registration form to ascertain whether you do actually wish to receive newsletters. To do this, we will send an email to the email address you have specified. This email contains a link you can click on to confirm receipt. Once you have confirmed that you have received this email, you will be signed up for our newsletter. (double opt-in)

When you first sign up for our newsletter, we will store your IP address, and the date and time of your registration. This is for security purposes, in case your email address is being used by a third party to subscribe to our newsletter without your knowledge. We do not collect or process any other data for your newsletter subscription and the data is used solely for the purposes of delivering the newsletter to you.

Unless you raise an objection, we will transmit your data within our company for the purposes of analysis and in order to transmit information for advertising purposes. The data you have provided for the purposes of your newsletter subscription will be compared with any other data we may have collected for other purposes (e.g. to book a service) within the company.

We will not disclose the data you have submitted to sign up for our newsletter to third parties who are not part of our company. You can cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. Details on how to unsubscribe can be found in the confirmation email and in each individual newsletter.

VI. Tools and applications used

* Tools and applications linked to the platform

In general, we store the data submitted by speculative applicants, and by applicants who voluntarily consent during the application process to having their data stored for a longer period of time for evidentiary purposes, for three years. If you declare your consent in this context, you may withdraw it at any time with future effect.

VII. Transmission of data

Roomle GmbH will not sell, exchange or make any other unauthorised use of personal data or information. Nor does Roomle GmbH disclose users’ personal data to third parties unless the user has consented to this or Roomle GmbH is legally obliged to disclose the data. Neither Roomle GmbH’s external service providers who provide services in the name of or on behalf of Roomle GmbH, nor Roomle GmbH licensees, shall be considered third parties.

X. Your rights

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act, you as a data subject are entitled to the following rights and legal remedies:

• Right to information (Article 15 of the EU-GDPR)
You, as the data subject of the data processing operations, have the right to obtain information as to whether any (and if so, what) personal data concerning you are being processed. It may be necessary for us to verify your identity by suitable means. This is for your own protection, to prevent third parties from receiving information about your data.

• Right to rectification (Article 16) and erasure (Article 17 of the EU-GDPR):
You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you or, taking into account the purposes of the data processing, to have incomplete personal data completed and to obtain the erasure of your personal data insofar as the criteria set out in Article 17 have been met.

• Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 of the EU-GDPR):
In accordance with the statutory requirements, you have the right to obtain restriction of the processing of all your collected personal data. Following the submission of an application for restriction, these data shall only be processed with your individual consent or for the establishment or exercise of legal claims.

• Right to data portability (Article 20 of the EU-GDPR):
You have the right to obtain the unimpeded and unlimited transmission of your collected personal data to a third party.

• Right to object (Article 21 of the EU-GDPR):
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you that is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interest or those of a third party. Once you have raised an objection, we will no longer process your data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or unless the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time with future effect.

• Withdrawal of consent
If you have separately declared your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this at any time. This withdrawal shall affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data after you have declared it to us.

If you undertake any measures to enforce your rights under the GDPR as detailed above, we must communicate our standpoint with regard to the measure you have requested, or comply with your request without undue delay or, at the latest, within one month of receiving your request.

We will respond free of charge and as soon as possible to all appropriate requests made within the legal framework.
