The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the “Information on the controller” section of this privacy policy.
How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected, on the one hand, by you providing it to us. This may be data that you enter in a contact form, for example.
Other data is collected automatically by our hoster’s IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website. No further collection based on your consent takes place on this website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. In addition, we process the data you send us via the contact form or by other means in order to answer your enquiry. Your user behaviour is not analysed.
What rights do you have with regard to your data?
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection.
Hosting
External hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.
The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of the secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Our hoster will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and will follow our instructions with regard to this data.
We use the following hoster:
Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland (service: Microsoft Azure Static Web Apps).
The website is operated in the Azure region “West Europe” with servers located in the Netherlands. To deliver static content quickly, Microsoft may use a globally distributed content delivery network; the contents of this website – but not the contents of your enquiries – may be cached on servers that are also located outside the EU.
For more information on data protection at Microsoft, see: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-gb/privacystatement
Order processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the provider only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
General notes and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible body
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
SteInvest Holding GmbH
represented by the managing director Cihat Akdas
Bredelaerstraße 63
40474 Düsseldorf
Registered at Düsseldorf Local Court, HRB 62771
Tel: 0211/ 550 43 5 -0
Fax: 0211/ 550 43 5-50
E-mail: kontakt@steinvest-holding.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use services provided by Microsoft Corporation for hosting this website and for delivering the messages received via the contact form. The contracting party is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, based in Ireland; processing takes place primarily on servers within the European Union. Access from the USA in the course of maintenance and support cannot be ruled out.
Microsoft Corporation is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. An adequacy decision of the European Commission therefore applies to data transfers to the USA. In addition, we have agreed the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses with Microsoft.
We point out that under certain conditions US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 ABS. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL CONCLUSIVELY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
– if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
– if the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
– if we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
– if you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
– if you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to advertising emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material.
The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
Data collection on this website
Cookies
This website does not use cookies. Neither technically necessary nor analytical or advertising cookies are stored on your device. For this reason we do not require any consent for the use of cookies and do not use a consent banner.
Nor do we use techniques that technically replace cookies, such as local storage, session storage or fingerprinting methods.
Server log files
The hoster of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. These are:
- browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of the accessing computer
- time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation, the security and the optimisation of its website – for this purpose the server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you send us a message via the contact form, the details you provide – name, email address, telephone number where given and the content of your message – are transmitted to our email mailbox. The details are not stored in a database on this website; the website does not keep its own copy of your enquiry.
To prevent automated submissions, the form contains an additional field that is invisible to you. If this field is filled in, we discard the message without processing it further. No further analysis of your behaviour takes place.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), which you give before submitting the form, and on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
The data you transmit will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your request, including all personal data (name, request), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Microsoft 365 (email)
We use Microsoft 365 with Exchange Online to receive and process your messages, including enquiries received via the contact form. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.
Microsoft processes the content and traffic data of your message in order to deliver and store it. Storage takes place in data centres within the European Union.
Use is based on our legitimate interest in reliable and secure communication (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and – for contract-related enquiries – on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Microsoft. Details can be found at: Microsoft Products and Services Data Protection Addendum
Locally hosted fonts
This website uses the fonts “Raleway” and “Open Sans” for a uniform display of typefaces. The font files are integrated locally on the server of this website and are loaded from there. No connection to third-party servers – in particular to Google Fonts – is established; your IP address is not transmitted to third parties.
The fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offering (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

On some pages we link our address to the Google Maps map service. This is an ordinary link – no Google content is embedded in this website and no data is transmitted to Google when you simply call up our pages.
Only when you actively click the link do you leave our website, and Google’s privacy policy then applies: https://policies.google.com/privacy
