  • prospective buyers.

 

 

6. Which of your sources and data does MARINA TOWER process?

 

MARINA TOWER processes your personal data when you contact us, for example, as a visitor to our website, a prospective buyer, if you write us a message, or if you subscribe to our newsletter.

 

We process the following personal data:  

 

  • Website visit

When you visit our website we especially process the following data: Technical access data, the name of your internet service provider, the page from which you visit us or the name of the requested file, date and time of your visit and the identification data of the browser/operating system used as well as your IP address. We evaluate this data - in anonymized form - for purely statistical and security-related purposes and without any conclusions about your person (e.g. to evaluate the number of page views, the duration of use, to defend attacks against our servers, etc).

 

The details relating to the use of cookies and tracking tools are described in section 10 (Use of cookies) and the use of social media plug-ins in section 11 (Use of social media plug-ins).

 

  • Communication - contact form and newsletter

When using our contact form and the form for ordering our newsletter and then for sending or providing the corresponding information, we process the data and the message you have provided in the respective form.

 

Only the data that are marked with a star „*“ are strictly necessary. All other information is provided voluntarily. In addition, your IP address and the date and time of the message or order are stored at the time your message is sent.

 

When you sign up for our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, we first send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address. In it, we ask you to confirm that you want the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your data is blocked by us and automatically deleted after one month. The purpose of the procedure is to verify your registration and, if necessary, prevent and clarify any potential misuse of your personal data.

 

  • Purchase - request for priority notice/real estate 

When using the input mask for a request for priority notice and real estate, we process the data you provide. Only the data that are marked with a star „*“ are strictly necessary.

Google as a U.S. company is subject to these legal regulations.

 

10.2 Facebook - Additional Information

It also enables us to create and evaluate surveys.

 

10.6 Microsoft (Bing) - Additional Information

 

MARINA TOWER occasionally uses Bing Ads conversion tracking, a web analytics service provided by Microsoft Cooperation ("Microsoft"). Bing Ads also allows an evaluation of visitor activity. This mechanism of website analytics measures the effectiveness with which an addressed group of persons is encouraged to take desired actions (e.g. how many users sign up for the newsletter or apply for a property on the basis of an ad on the Bing search engine website). Microsoft Bing Ads store a cookie on your computer if you visit our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. We and Microsoft Bing can therefore detect that someone clicked on an ad, was redirected to our website, and accessed a previously determined target page (conversion page). We are only informed about the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page. No personal information about the identity of the user is provided.

 

If you do not want information about your behaviour to be used by Microsoft in the aforementioned manner, you can refuse the cookie use required for this, for example, by configuring your browser to automatically disable cookies in general. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website as well as the processing of this data by Microsoft by declaring your opposition under the following link: http://choice.microsoft.com/en-US/opt-out.

In the USA there is therefore no effective protection of fundamental rights comparable to the European fundamental right to privacy. Microsoft as a U.S. company is subject to these legal regulations.

 

 

11. Social Media Plugins

 

Our websites use so-called social media plugins ("plugins") from social networks such as Facebook and YouTube. We also use the map service Google Maps. These services are offered by the companies Facebook Inc.,YouTube LLC and Google Inc.

 

  • Facebook

Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

 

  • YouTube

  • Google Maps

Google Maps is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). For more information about embedding Google Maps maps, please visit https://support.google.com/maps/answer/144361?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=de.

 

If you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider. The content of the plugin is transmitted by the respective provider directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through the integration of the plugin, the providers receive the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective provider in the USA or in Germany and stored there. If you are logged in to one of the services, the providers can directly assign your visit to our website to your profile on Facebook and YouTube. If you interact with the plugins and press the corresponding buttons, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook or YouTube and displayed to your contacts.

 

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as your rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the providers:

 

 

If you do not want Facebook, Google or YouTube to directly assign the data collected via our website to your profile in the respective service, you must log out of the respective service before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of the plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).

 

The U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FIS Act) and other U.S. laws require U.S. telecommunications companies and U.S. Internet service providers, among others, to provide information to the U.S. authorities without a court order, which makes it possible to monitor users abroad (e.g. in the EU). In the USA there is therefore no effective protection of fundamental rights comparable to the European fundamental right to privacy. Facebook, Google or YouTube as U.S companies are subject to these legal regulations.

 

 

12. Data security
