Disclaimer

Liability for content

The content of our pages has been prepared with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee that the content is correct, complete or up to date. As a service provider we are responsible for our own content on these pages under general law in accordance with Section 7(1) TMG (German Telemedia Act). Under Sections 8 to 10 TMG, however, we as a service provider are not obliged to monitor third-party information transmitted or stored by us or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity. This does not affect obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law. Liability in this respect is, however, only possible from the time we become aware of a specific infringement. As soon as we become aware of such infringements, we will remove the content concerned immediately.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control. We therefore cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time the link was set. No unlawful content was apparent at that time. However, permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. As soon as we become aware of infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works created by the site operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of use beyond the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted for private, non-commercial use only. Insofar as the content on this site was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please let us know. As soon as we become aware of infringements, we will remove such content immediately.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. 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.

Note on the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

PLÜMER INTERNET PUBLISHING
Elke Plümer

D-38644 Goslar
Germany

VAT ID: DE195302411

Phone: +49 5321 303 991

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal message to us by e-mail is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our service more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (DSGVO). The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. 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 combined with other data sources.

The basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. An informal message to us by e-mail is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiry form – rental enquiry

If you submit data via the enquiry form of a rental offer, this data is forwarded to the respective provider. Your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. Responsibility for the data transmitted to the respective provider lies with the recipient.

The data entered in the enquiry form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. An informal message to us by e-mail is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the enquiry form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website in order to use additional functions on the site. We only use the data entered for this purpose for the use of the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will reject the registration.

For important changes, for example to the scope of the offer or for technically necessary changes, we use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you.

The data entered during registration is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time. An informal message to us by e-mail is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data collected during registration is stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and is then deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for establishing, defining the content of or changing the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our web pages (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.

The customer data collected is deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

4. Analysis tools and advertising

5. Plugins and tools

Google Web Fonts

For the uniform display of fonts, this site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online services and to make the places we indicate on the website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The operators of these pages participate in the Amazon EU affiliate programme. Amazon places advertisements and links to the Amazon.de website on our pages, through which we can earn money by way of advertising fee reimbursement.
