We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. That is why we want you to know when we store which data and how we use it. We would therefore like to inform you about our data protection measures with this privacy policy.<\/p>\nCollection of personal data<br \/>\nIn the following, we provide information about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data is all data that can be directly or indirectly related to you personally, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behavior.<br \/>\nWhen you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, possibly your name and telephone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer necessary.<br \/>\nWhen using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to the server we use. If you wish to view our website, the following data is collected, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR):\n- IP address<br \/>\n- Date and time of the request<br \/>\n- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)<br \/>\n- Content of the request (specific page)<br \/>\n- Access status\/HTTP status code<br \/>\n- Amount of data transferred in each case<br \/>\n- Website from which the request comes<br \/>\n- Browser used<br \/>\n- Operating system and its interface<br \/>\n- Language and version of the browser software\nPerson responsible<br \/>\nThe controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) can be found in the legal notice.\nLegal basis of the processing<br \/>\nWe process data in accordance with GDPR Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) b) c) f). This means that we only process personal data if consent has been given (lit. a), if necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures (lit. b), if we are legally obliged to do so (lit. c) or if we have a legitimate interest in the processing (lit. f).\nPurposes of use<br \/>\nWe will only use the personal data collected from you to provide you with the requested products or services or for other purposes for which you have given your consent, unless otherwise required by law.\nRights of data subjects<br \/>\nYou have the following rights vis-\u00e0-vis us with regard to your personal data:\n- Right to information<br \/>\n- Right to rectification or erasure<br \/>\n- Right to restriction of processing<br \/>\n- Right to object to the processing<br \/>\n- Right to data portability\n<p>You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.<\/p>\nRight to revoke or object to the processing of your data<br \/>\nIf you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw it at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have given it to us.\nStorage of data<br \/>\nWe store personal data for as long as is necessary to provide a service that you have requested or for which you have given your consent, unless otherwise required by law, for example in the case of ongoing legal proceedings.\nUse of cookies<br \/>\nIn addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk and assigned to the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to the body that sets the cookie (in this case us). Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.\nThis website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which are explained below:<br \/>\n- Transient cookies<br \/>\n- Persistent cookies\n<p>Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.<\/p>\n<p>Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser's security settings.<\/p>\nYou can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. We would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website.<br \/>\nOther functions and offers on our website<br \/>\nIn addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you must generally provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service and for which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.\n<p>In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.<\/p>\nSecurity<br \/>\nWe use technical and organizational security measures to protect the data you provide against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. When personal data is collected and processed, the information is transmitted in encrypted form to prevent misuse of the data by third parties. Our security measures are continuously revised in line with technological developments.\nAdjustments<br \/>\nThe constant development of the Internet makes it necessary to adapt our privacy policy from time to time. We reserve the right to make corresponding changes at any time.\nUsage statistics<br \/>\nWhen you visit our website, we record anonymously how visitors came to our website and how many users accessed the site (search engine, link, direct input or advertising measures). The data is not used to identify individual visitors, but only to transmit quantitative data. The statistics cannot be used to track your behavior on other websites. The data is not linked to other services. If you have deactivated the setting of cookies in your browser, your visits will not be recorded.\nThird-party content on the website<br \/>\nOur website integrates content from other providers. This can be pure content elements (e.g. news) but also widgets (functions such as weather news) or, for example, fonts and technical libraries. For technical reasons, this is done by the browser loading this content from other servers. In this context, the IP currently used by your browser and the browser used by the requesting system are transmitted. Please note the respective data protection declarations of the third-party providers in this regard.\nRoute planner<br \/>\nWe use Bing Maps from Microsoft on our website to provide you with an interactive route planner. By using this service, you consent to the processing of data in accordance with the Bing Maps Terms of Use (https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/maps\/product\/terms).<br \/>\nIf you use the map, e.g. by clicking on our locations listed there, we do not collect any data from you. However, the company Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA may collect personal or personally identifiable data as part of BING Maps. We cannot influence what data Microsoft collects with BING Maps, nor how Microsoft processes and evaluates it. Please therefore note the terms of use for BING Maps, available at: https:\/\/privacy.microsoft.com\/de-de\/privacystatement\/<br \/>\n(click on the BING section).\nOnline forms<br \/>\nOur website is linked to a button for online data collection, which gives you the opportunity to send us data via an online form. If you use this online service from NotarNow (LegalNow GmbH, Lena-Christ-Stra\u00dfe 2, 82031 Gr\u00fcnwald, Germany), your details, including the contact details you provide there, will be automatically stored on the NotarNow servers for a short time for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions and then forwarded to us. Data transmission is encrypted using transport encryption via Secure Socket Layer (SSL\/TLS).\n<p>The data is stored solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. The data will not be passed on to other third parties. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that 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.<\/p>\n<p>We will retain the data you provide on the online form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.<\/p>\n<p>When using the \u201ecache\u201c function, your online form entries are encrypted and stored anonymously for 30 days. If the online form is not sent to us within these 30 days, the form entries will be deleted automatically. A request for deletion on your part is not necessary in this case.<\/p>\n<p>Data Protection Officer<\/p>\n<p>We have appointed a data protection officer.<\/p>\nDr. Frank Tykwer<br \/>\nE-Mail: <a href=\"mailto:rechtsanwalt@dr-tykwer.de\">rechtsanwalt@dr-tykwer.de<\/a>\n\t1. who is responsible, who can you contact?<br \/>\nWe, notary Dr. Jens Bormann and notary Dr. Jan Link, are responsible for the processing of your personal data. Each of the aforementioned notaries is the sole controller within the meaning of the data protection regulations for the area for which they are responsible. The following declaration therefore applies to each of the two aforementioned notaries. You can contact the responsible notary or our data protection officer for all data protection inquiries as follows:\nResponsible person<br \/>\nNotary Dr. Jens Bormann and Notary Dr. Jan Link<br \/>\nGrabenstrasse 15<br \/>\n40878 Ratingen<br \/>\nT. +49 2102 1403-0<br \/>\nF. +49 2102 1403-33<br \/>\nE-Mail: <a href=\"mailto:info@notare-ratingen.de\">info@notare-ratingen.de<\/a>\nData protection officer for every notary<br \/>\nDr. Frank Tykwer<br \/>\nE-Mail: <a href=\"mailto:rechtsanwalt@dr-tykwer.de\">rechtsanwalt@dr-tykwer.de<\/a>\n2. what data do I process and where does the data come from?<br \/>\nI process personal data that I receive from you or from third parties commissioned by you (e.g. lawyer, tax consultant, estate agent, credit institution), e.g:<br \/>\nPersonal data, e.g. first name and surname, date and place of birth, nationality, marital status; in individual cases your birth register number<br \/>\nContact data, e.g. postal address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address<br \/>\nyour tax identification number for real estate contracts<br \/>\nin certain cases, e.g. marriage contracts, wills, inheritance contracts or adoptions, also data on your family situation and your assets and, if applicable, information on your health or other sensitive data, e.g. because this serves to document your legal capacity<br \/>\nin certain cases also data from your legal relationships with third parties, such as file numbers or loan or account numbers at credit institutions<br \/>\nI also process data from public registers, e.g. land register, commercial registers and registers of associations\n3. for what purposes and on what legal basis is the data processed?<br \/>\nAs a notary, I am the holder of a public office. My official duties are carried out in the performance of a task which is in the public interest in the orderly and preventive administration of justice and thus in the public interest, and in the exercise of official authority (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter e of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).\n<p>Your data will be processed exclusively in order to carry out the notarial activity requested by you and any other persons involved in a transaction in accordance with my official duties, i.e. for the preparation of draft deeds, for the notarization and execution of deed transactions or for the provision of advice. The processing of personal data is therefore only ever carried out on the basis of the professional and procedural provisions applicable to me, which are essentially derived from the Federal Notarial Code and the Notarization Act. These provisions also give rise to the legal obligation for me to process the required data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter c GDPR). Failure to provide the data requested from you would therefore mean that I would have to refuse to (further) carry out the official transaction.<\/p>\n4. to whom do I pass on data?<br \/>\nAs a notary, I am subject to a statutory duty of confidentiality. This duty of confidentiality also applies to all my employees and other persons commissioned by me.\n<p>I may therefore only pass on your data if and insofar as I am obliged to do so in individual cases, e.g. due to notification obligations to the tax authorities, or to public registers such as the land registry, commercial or association registers, the central register of wills, registers of precautionary measures, courts such as probate, care or family courts or authorities. In the context of professional and official supervision, I may also be obliged to provide information to the Chamber of Notaries or my supervisory authority, which in turn are subject to an official duty of confidentiality.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, your data will only be passed on if I am obliged to do so on the basis of declarations made by you or if you have requested the transfer.<\/p>\n5. is data transferred to third countries?<br \/>\nYour personal data will only be transferred to third countries at your special request or if and insofar as a party to the deed is based in a third country.\n6 How long will your data be stored?<br \/>\nI process and store your personal data within the scope of my statutory retention obligations.\n<p>The following retention periods apply to the retention of notarial documents in accordance with \u00a7 5 para. 4 of the Service Regulations for Notaries (DONot):<\/p>\nRegister of deeds, register of inheritance contracts, register of names for the register of deeds and collection of deeds including the inheritance contracts kept separately (\u00a7 18 para. 4 DONot): 100 years<br \/>\nCustody ledger, mass ledger, list of names for the mass ledger, escrow account list, general files: 30 years<br \/>\nAncillary files: 7 years; the notary may stipulate a longer retention period in writing at the latest when last processing the content, e.g. for dispositions mortis causa or in the event of a risk of recourse; the stipulation may also be made in general for individual types of legal transactions, e.g. for dispositions mortis causa<br \/>\nAfter expiry of the storage periods, your data will be deleted or the paper documents destroyed, unless I am obliged to store them for a longer period of time in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter c GDPR due to tax and commercial law storage and documentation obligations (from the German Commercial Code, Criminal Code, Money Laundering Act or the German Fiscal Code) as well as professional regulations for the purpose of conflict-of-law checks.\n7 What rights do you have?<br \/>\nYou have the right:<br \/>\nto request information about whether I process personal data about you, if so, for what purposes I process the data and which categories of personal data I process, to whom the data may have been forwarded, how long the data may be stored and what rights you are entitled to.<br \/>\nto have inaccurate personal data concerning you that is stored by me corrected. You also have the right to have an incomplete data record stored by me completed.<br \/>\nto demand the deletion of personal data concerning you, provided that there is a legal reason for deletion (see Art. 17 GDPR) and the processing of your data is not required to fulfill a legal obligation or for other overriding reasons within the meaning of the GDPR.<br \/>\nto demand that I only process your data to a limited extent, e.g. to assert legal claims or for reasons of important public interest, while I check your right to rectification or objection, for example, or if I reject your right to erasure (cf. Art. 18 GDPR).<br \/>\nto object to the processing if this is necessary for me to perform my duties in the public interest or to exercise my public office, if there are reasons for the objection arising from your particular situation.<br \/>\nto contact the supervisory authorities with a data protection complaint. The supervisory authority responsible for me is<br \/>\nThe State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information NRW<br \/>\nP.O.
