Overview

homeradar24 is a free property listings portal. You can view all listings without an account. We process personal data only where this is necessary to run the portal or where you provide it to us yourself. This covers:

• technical access data in server logs;
• contact persons’ names and contact details in listings;
• data in private listings and messages you send to private advertisers;
• email addresses for email alerts about new listings;
• text you enter in the AI features;
• reports about listings and applications from agencies;
• emails you send us.

We do not use tracking or advertising technologies and do not embed social media plugins or Google services.

Hosting and server logs

homeradar24 runs on a server of [HOSTING PROVIDER] in the European Union. Each time a page is visited, the web server automatically processes and logs:

• your device’s IP address;
• the date and time of access;
• the address opened (URL);
• the previously visited page (referrer), if your browser sends it;
• information about your browser and operating system (user agent);
• the HTTP status code of the response.

This processing is necessary to show you the website. We also use the logs for security, for example to detect and prevent attacks, and to analyse errors. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the secure and stable operation of the portal. We automatically delete the logs after [7] days.

[HOSTING PROVIDER] processes the data as a processor on our instructions (Article 28 GDPR).

Cookies and data in your browser

We do not set cookies for visitors to the portal. A technically necessary session cookie is set only in the protected admin area when the portal operator logs in.

Saved listings and the map view are stored only in your browser (localStorage) so that they are still there on your next visit. We do not receive this data. You can delete it at any time in your browser settings.

Fonts, images and the map

We serve fonts and images, including listing photos, from our own server. For some listings, the main photo is loaded directly from the original website; your browser then connects to that website.

Map tiles are loaded from OpenFreeMap (tiles.openfreemap.org). When you open the map, your browser connects to this service, which receives your IP address and technical information about your browser. [CHECK: OpenFreeMap’s data processing terms and location.]

Listings and contact persons’ data

We receive agency listings from the agencies themselves via a data feed. They may contain the agency’s name and, if the agency sends them, a contact person’s name, phone number and email address. In summaries of listings on other websites, we show only the key details of the listing and a link to the original.

We publish this data so that interested people can contact the advertiser. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (our contract with the agency to publish the listings) and, for contact persons’ data, Article 6(1)(f); the legitimate interest is showing the listing with the responsible contact person. The agency is responsible for being allowed to pass on and publish its contact persons’ data.

The data is stored for as long as the listing is published and then deleted after a short technical period [PERIOD]. If you are the contact person named in a listing and object to its publication, you can contact the agency or us.

Private listings

If you post a listing as a private individual, we process the form data: details of the property, photos, your name, email address and, if you give it, your phone number. Only your first name and the first letter of your surname are publicly visible, your phone number only if you choose to show it, and the property’s address only if you choose to show it. We do not publish your email address. We use it for the confirmation link, to tell you our decision, to remind you before the listing expires and to forward messages from interested people. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (providing the listing service).

We delete unconfirmed listings after 7 days and expired ones 30 days after they expire, in each case together with photos and contact details. You can delete your listing yourself at any time using the link in our email.

Messages to private advertisers

If you write to a private advertiser using the contact form, we forward your message, name and email address to the advertiser by email so that they can reply to you. We do not store the message. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (your request).

Email alerts about new listings

If you sign up for alerts about a search or a listing, we store your email address, the chosen search or listing and your language. Alerts start only after you confirm your address using the link in our email. Every alert contains an unsubscribe link. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (a service you have requested). We delete the data when you unsubscribe, and unconfirmed sign-ups after [7] days.

AI features

If you use search in plain words, the listing assistant or the comparison, the text you enter, together with the data of the listings concerned, is sent to our AI provider Anthropic PBC (USA) to generate an answer. We do not send your IP address or other identifiers. Please do not enter personal data in the AI fields. Listing photos may be sent to the same service to recognise features (for example a balcony).

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is offering these features. Anthropic processes the data as a processor. Data is transferred to the USA on the basis of [CHECK: EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses].

Contacting us by email

If you email us, we process your email address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message in order to deal with your enquiry. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (our interest in answering enquiries), Article 6(1)(b) where a contract is concerned and, where we have a legal obligation, Article 6(1)(c). We delete the data once your enquiry has been dealt with and no retention obligations apply.

Reports about listings

Using “Report this listing”, you can notify us of content you consider illegal (a notice under Article 16 of the Digital Services Act). We process:

• the listing concerned;
• the reason you chose and your explanation;
• your name (optional);
• your email address (optional; without it we cannot reply to you or tell you our decision);
• your statement that the information is accurate and complete.

We use this data to review the report, make a decision, tell you about it and document the process. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Article 16 DSA, and Article 6(1)(f). If we take a decision about a listing, we inform the advertiser with a statement of reasons (Article 17 DSA); we pass on your name and email only if this is strictly necessary in the specific case. We keep report data for [12 months] after the case is closed.

Applications from agencies

Agencies can apply on the For agents page. We process the company name, the contact person’s name, email address, phone number, the software used, the approximate number of listings, the message and the confirmation that the terms for agents have been accepted. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. If no cooperation follows, we delete the application after [6 months].

Recipients and processors

We pass on personal data only where this is necessary for the purposes described:

• [HOSTING PROVIDER] for hosting (processor);
• [EMAIL SENDING SERVICE] for sending emails (processor);
• Anthropic PBC for the AI features (processor);
• advertisers, when we inform them of a decision about their listing or forward your message;
• authorities and courts, where required by law.

Listing information, including contact persons’ data, is publicly available to all visitors.

Transfers to third countries

Our server is located in the European Union. We transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area only for the AI features (Anthropic PBC, USA; see above). [If the email sending service processes data outside the EEA, state the country and the safeguard under Articles 44 et seq. GDPR.]

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right:

• of access to your data (Article 15);
• to rectification of inaccurate data (Article 16);
• to erasure (Article 17);
• to restriction of processing (Article 18);
• to data portability (Article 20);
• to object to processing (Article 21, see below).

To exercise your rights, an informal message to [EMAIL] is enough.

Right to object: where we process data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you can object to the processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to lodge a complaint: you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. We are supervised by [SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY, e.g. the Data State Inspectorate]. You can also contact the supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement (Article 77 GDPR).

Automated decisions

We do not make solely automated decisions, including profiling, within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

Changes

We update this policy when our service or the law changes. The version published on this page applies. You’ll find more information about the operator in the imprint.
