You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your archived personal data at any time without charging a fee. You also have the right to request that your data be corrected or deleted. If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to withdraw this consent at any time, with effect for the future. You also have the right to request that the processing of your data be restricted under certain circumstances. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have any questions about this or other data protection-related topics.

Analysis tools and third-party tools

It is possible that your surfing behavior may be statistically analyzed when you visit this website. Such analyses are mainly carried out using so-called analysis programs. Detailed information about these analysis programs can be found in our privacy policy below.

2nd hosting

External hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This includes IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and messages, contract information, contact information, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website. The host is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) and in the interest of providing our online services securely, quickly and efficiently by a professional provider (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider mentioned above. This is a data protection contract that ensures that it processes personal data of our website visitors only on the basis of our instructions and in accordance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We therefore treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal 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 personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and for what purposes we use this data. It also explains how and for what purpose the data is collected. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties. Information about the responsible body (referred to as “data controller” in the GDPR) The person responsible for data processing on this website is:

Dr. Ossama Alasmar
RB HOMES REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE LLC
Office 1602, Empire Heights Tower B
00000 Business Bay, Dubai
United Arab Emirates
Telephone: +971 50 211 4899
email: info@realestateblondies.com

The person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless there are other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons cease to apply.

Information about data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the United States or other non-EU countries that are uncertain about data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these non-EU countries. We must point out that a level of data protection comparable with the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to share personal data with security authorities, and you, as a data subject, have no opportunity to defend yourself in court. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. the Secret Service) may process, evaluate and permanently archive your personal data for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing processes.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

A variety of data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can also withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data collection carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by this.

Right to object to data collection in special cases; right to object to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

In the event that data processing is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The legal basis on which data 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 processing your data that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is 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. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which they have their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to file a complaint is independent of any other administrative or judicial process available as an appeal.

Right to data portability

You have the right to request that we hand over to you or a third party the data, which we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract, in a common, machine-readable format. Should you request the direct transfer of data to another person responsible for processing, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

SSL and/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 operator of the website, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon appears in the browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, data that you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, after concluding a paid contract with us, you are required to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number, if you give us a direct debit authorization), this data is required to process payments. Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon appears in the browser line. If communication with us is encrypted, third parties cannot read the payment information that you provide to us.

Information about correction and deletion of data

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing your data. In addition, you may have the right to correct or delete your data. If you have any questions about this or other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to request the restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

Should you dispute the accuracy of your data archived with us, we usually need a certain amount of time to verify this claim. As long as this review continues, you have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you have the option to request that the processing of your data be restricted instead of requesting the deletion of this data.

If we no longer need your personal data and you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deletion.

If you have filed an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your rights and our rights must be balanced against each other. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — with the exception of archiving — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons or for important reasons of public interest cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

4. Collection of data on this website

cookies

Our websites and pages use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted as soon as you end your visit. Persistent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them or your web browser automatically deletes them.

In some cases, it is possible that third-party cookies are stored on your device as soon as you enter our website. These cookies enable you or us to use certain services provided by the third party (e.g. cookies to process payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain functions of the website would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose of other cookies may be to analyze user behavior or to display advertising messages.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication transactions (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions that you would like to use (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary to optimize the website (e.g. cookies that provide measurable insights about the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless there is another legal basis listed. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of the operator's services. If your consent has been obtained to store cookies, the respective cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of the consent given (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR); this consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies to be accepted in individual cases. You can also exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general or activate the delete function so that cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.

When using third-party cookies or using cookies for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately in connection with this privacy policy and, if necessary, ask for your consent.

contact form

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) when this has been obtained.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete the data, withdraw your consent to storage or when the purpose of storage no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed our response to your request). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected by this.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we will store your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

Request via email, phone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, concern), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this information without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if this has been obtained.

The data you provided to us via a contact request will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected by this.

Communication via WhatsApp

To communicate with our customers and other third parties, we use, among other things, the WhatsApp instant messaging service. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp gets access to the metadata created during the communication process (such as sender, recipient, and time). We would also like to point out that WhatsApp claims to share personal data of its users with its US parent company Facebook. For more details on data processing, please see WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as possible with customers, prospects and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). If appropriate consent has been obtained, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of consent; consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

The communication content exchanged between us and via WhatsApp remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected by this.

We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” variant.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC). Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum?lang=en.

We have set up our WhatsApp accounts in such a way that there is no automatic data reconciliation with the address book on the smartphones used.

5. Social media

Instagram plugin

We have integrated functions of the public media platform Instagram into this website. These features are offered by Facebook Ireland Ltd., based at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link content from this website to your Instagram profile by clicking on the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the website and pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data and its use by Instagram.

Data is stored and evaluated on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the highest possible visibility on social media. If there is a corresponding declaration of consent, the data will be processed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Such consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook or Instagram, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transmission to Facebook or Instagram. The processing carried out by Facebook or Instagram after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility.

The obligations incumbent on us together have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The text of the agreement is available at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

In accordance with this agreement, we are responsible for providing privacy information when using the Facebook or Instagram tool and for implementing the tool on our website in a privacy-secure manner. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook or Instagram products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) with regard to the data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly with Facebook. If you assert the rights of data subjects with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC). Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875 and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

6. Analysis tools and advertising

WordPress statistics

This website uses “WordPress Statistics” to statistically evaluate visitor accesses. The provider is Automattic Inc, 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA.

WordPress Statistics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). For analysis purposes, WordPress Stats collects, among other things, log files (referrer, IP address, browser, etc.), the origin of website visitors (country, city) and what actions they have carried out on the website (e.g. clicks, views, downloads). The information collected about the use of this website is stored on servers in the United States. Your IP address is anonymized after processing and before saving the data.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymous analysis of user behavior in order to optimize the operator's website and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Facebook pixels

To measure conversion rates, this website uses the visitor activity pixel from Facebook. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook's statement, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This tool allows page visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website after clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possible to analyze the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns.

For us as operators of this website, the data collected is anonymous. We are unable to draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, Facebook archives the information and processes it so that a connection to the respective user profile can be established and Facebook is able to use the data for its own advertising purposes in compliance with the Facebook data usage policy. This allows Facebook to place ads on Facebook pages, but also in locations outside of Facebook. As the operator of this website, we have no influence on the use of this data.

The Facebook pixel is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in effective advertising campaigns, which include social media. If appropriate consent has been obtained (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC). Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing carried out by Facebook after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us together have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The text of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool on our website in a privacy-secure manner. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert the rights of data subjects with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

In Facebook's privacy policy, you can find more information about protecting your privacy at: Facebook Privacy Policy. You also have the option to deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature in the ad settings under Facebook ad settings. To do this, you must first log in to Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate any user-related advertising through Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

When you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the Internet, your personal data is collected and processed by the provider of the respective conference tool and by us.

The conference tools collect all information that you provide to use the tools or that you access (e-mail address and/or telephone number). In addition, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “contextual information” about the communication process (metadata).

In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to process online communication. These include in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker, and the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the tool provider's servers. This content includes cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voice messages, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we have no full influence on the data processing processes of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy statements of the tools used, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and legal basis

If consent has been obtained, the respective tools are used on the basis of this consent; consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
