Data Protection

Data protection and especially the protection of your personal data is extremely important to us, which is why we would like to brief you on our data protection policy below.

What should you bear in mind in the context of links to other websites that you find on our website?

Our homepage www.treirealestate.com includes links to other websites (e.g. www.tengelmann.de). Responsible for the data protection principles or the content of such linked pages are solely the respective operators and their data protection officers.

How secure is our website?

The technical and organisational security measures used by us serve the purpose of protecting the data you make available to us at your discretion against inadvertent or wilful manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Trei Real Estate GmbH (Trei) continuously develops and upgrades its security measures in sync with the latest technological advances.

How are your personal data processed (“cookies”)?

Personal data about you will principally not be collected when you visit our website. However, certain data are evaluated and stored on our web server each time you visit our website, if only for statistical purposes and to guarantee the security and stability of our system.

For technical reasons, your internet browser automatically transmits data to our web server when you access our website. Such data includes the date and time of your access, the URL of the referring website, the file accessed, the quantity of data sent, your browser type and version, your operating system and your IP address. These data are stored separately from other data that you enter while using our website. There is no way for us to associate this data with any specific person.

To this end, we use so-called “cookies.” A cookie is information that a web server sends to a browser, which the browser in turn sends back when it accesses the same web server later on (this is known as a “browser cookie” or “session cookie”). Cookies make it possible to save information between web page requests, and allow a web server to recognise a given visitor’s browser and thus the visitor him- or herself or to remain recognised through the end of a session, as the case may be. The cookies used by our website are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.

A cookie can only contain information that the web site provider itself sends to the user; it cannot be used to read the user’s private data. Please also note that the cookie contents can only be retrieved by the entity that created the cookie. In other words, no other online provider is capable of reading such cookies. You can disable or manage the use of cookies via the appropriate settings in your browser (depending on the vendor).

Trei will neither sell your personal data to any third party nor market them in any other way. The collection, processing and use of all personal data submitted to us is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

Lawful Bases

To process your personal data, we generally rely on the following lawful bases:

• Consent, e.g. newsletter, requests for information: Art. 6 (1) lit. a, GDPR
• Pre-contractual measures, execution of a contractual relationship: Art. 6 (1) lit. b, GDPR
• Legal obligations, such as record-keeping obligations: Art. 6 (1) lit. c, GDPR
• Advertising without consent, tracking, cookies, e.g. to improve the online service and for technical reasons (legitimate interests): Art. 6 f GDPR

Use of Google Analytics 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” i.e. text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In the event that IP anonymisation is enabled, Google will truncate your IP address in advance within any member state of the European Union or within any other member state of the Treaty on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional situations will your full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for the website operator and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address submitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be consolidated with other data by Google. You can refuse the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, but please note that, if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. 

Preventing Data Collection via Google Analytics 

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information, please visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html. We would like to point out that the code "anonymizeIp" has been added to Google Analytics on this website to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses.

Use of Google Ad Words 

Our online offer uses the Google service “Google AdWords” as well as the so-called “Google Conversion Tracking” in the same context. “Google Conversion Tracking” installs a conversion tracking cookie when you click on an AdWords ad; these “Google Conversion Tracking” cookies expire after a limited period of time. If you select certain pages from our online service, Google and we may recognise, based on the aforementioned cookie, that you clicked on a corresponding advertisement and were redirected to our online service. The purpose of the information collected through the use of cookies is to compile so-called conversion statistics; in particular, it makes it possible to track the total number of users who clicked on a given advertisement and were redirected to a page via a conversion tracking tag. The conversion statistics contain no information that would make it possible to personally identify website users. 

If you do not wish to participate in Google Conversion Tracking, you have the possibility to opt out of this use. To do so, you can simply disable the relevant Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet browser. After that, you will no longer be included in the conversion tracking statistics. For additional information on the privacy policies of Google, please go to the website below: https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=de&hl=en (also see “Visiting the Websites & Cookies”). 

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. It is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The service enables us to display interactive maps directly on our website and lets you use the map function at your convenience. It is integrated into our website via a Java Script API.

Use of Google Maps, and thus the processing of personal data by Google Maps, is not possible unless you have consented to it through the cookie settings on this page (“Marketing” category). The lawful basis for this processing of personal data is your consent pursuant to Art. 6, Sec. 1, Sent. 1, Lit. a, GDPR, or (in case the data are transmitted to the United States) pursuant to Art. 49, Sec. 1, Lit. a, GDPR. You may revoke your consent with effect to the future via the same cookie settings at any time.

As a result of using Google Maps, Google will receive information that the corresponding (sub)page of our website was called up while also receiving the associated IP address. This will happen regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no such user account exists. If you are signed into a Google service, your data will (probably) be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you should log out of your Google account before clicking the button. Google stores the data collected about you in the form of a user profile and uses it for advertising purposes, market research and/or the need-based design of its websites. The purpose of such an analysis is specifically to generate customised advertising (even for users not logged in). You have a right to object to the creation of such a user profile, but you will have to contact Google directly to exercise that right.

The aforesaid personal data will be transferred to the United States during the use of Google Maps. Please note that the United States are classified as a so-called third country under current data protection legislation, and are subject to different statutory data protection regulations, so that the legally required level of data protection may be lower than that in the European Union. In addition to Google, government agencies may also gain access to this data under US law if certain legal conditions are met. This is regrettably not subject to our influence.

For more information on the purpose and scope of the collection of data and their processing by the provider of Google Maps, please see the provider’s data protection statements. If you do, Google will also provide more details about your rights and privacy settings (third-party link): http://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Open Positions

If you wish to submit a job application to us, you may do so online. To this end, we will collect the required data via a form you need to fill out, whereas other disclosures are made at your discretion. You also have the option to upload relevant documents, e.g. your résumé. The personal data you provide in the online application will only be used for the purpose of processing your application; in the event that no employment contract is signed, the data will be deleted six months after the end of the recruitment process unless you actively asked us to keep them on file for a longer period of time. In case an employment relationship is established, the data will become part of your personal file and retained after the end of your contract in accordance with the statutory periods set and subsequently in anonymised form for statistical evaluations.

Your application will not be forwarded by us to third parties and will be forwarded by our central human resources department only to the affiliated company whose open position you applied for. In case we are aware of in-house vacancies in other affiliated companies for which you qualify we will ask for your consent before forwarding your job application to them.

If you cease to be interested in the career opportunities offered by the open positions of Trei Real Estate GmbH as advertised, you may withdraw your application at any time. To do so, please get in touch with us using the contact details shown below or notify our HR Department by sending an e-mail to personal(at)tengelmann.de.

Our application management is assisted by a software solution of the vendor Prescreen International GmbH, based at Mariahilfer Strasse 17 in A-1060 Vienna. For more details on the data processing in the context of online applications, please click the relevant link in the job application form. The information herein provided remains unaffected by this.

Social Media Platforms

On our website, we have integrated linked graphics/pictograms that refer to our presentations on social media platforms (LinkedIn and Xing). When clicked, you may link content from our site with your profile if you are registered with either of these social media platforms. Doing so will enable the social media platform to associate your visit of our site with your user account on that same social media platform.

To make sure you retain full control of your data, no contact between the respective social network and you will be established until you actively click on a given link. Please note that the platforms and third-party content providers that you access by clicking our links provide these services and the processing of their data under their own responsibility.

Once you click on such a link, the respective provider will process certain data about you. The data may include, without being limited to, the following:

• IP address
• browser information
• access date and time.

For the exact scope of the data processing and more details on data protection, check the data protection statements of the party responsible for the respective platform.

We would also like to point out that personal data processed during your visit to the respective platforms may also be transferred to so-called third countries (countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area) where other statutory data protection regulations apply and where the legally required level of data protection may fall short of the standards that apply in the European Union. For more details on transfers to third countries and on the associated data protection measures, check the data protection statements of the party responsible for the respective platform.

Rights of Persons Affected:

You have the following rights, which you may assert vis-à-vis the party responsible:

• to demand information on the lawful basis of processing your data
• to demand to know which of your personal data has been processed
• to demand correction of your data
• to restrict the processing of your data
• to demand the deletion of your data
• to demand data portability
• to object to the processing of your data

You also have the right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW) based in Düsseldorf.

If the processing is consensual, you have the right to revoke the consent at any time, without affecting the legality of the processing done on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.
