The data protection policy of Sotheby’s International Realty complies with the requirements of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which specifies the conditions under which personal data on this website is processed. You can use our website without providing any personal data. In order to do so, you may need to configure your browser in such a way that certain functions on our website may not be available. Insofar as you do use specific functions of our website, these may involve the transfer of personal data. Details of which data we collect and process, and why, can be found in the following data protection policy.

We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website, web content and services. We only process our users’ personal data with their consent. An exception to this general principle applies, for example, in cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
We process personal data for specific purposes, providing that data subjects have given us their consent to do so in accordance with Article 6.1.a of the GDPR.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing that is necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of services or considerations, the legal basis for processing is based on Article 6.1.b of the GDPR. The same applies to processing required in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Insofar as our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, the legal basis for processing is provided by Article 6.1.c of the GDPR.
Insofar as the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, the legal basis for data processing is provided by Article 6.1.d of the GDPR.
We may also process data for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. The legal basis for such processing is provided by Article 6.1.f of the GDPR.
For the processing of personal data, it may be necessary to transfer data to third parties. These third parties may also include our contract processors. In such cases, data will only ever be transferred on the basis of statutory approval, consent granted by a data subject, a legal obligation to do so, or our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6.1.f of the GDPR. Insofar as third parties receive personal data from us on the basis of an order processing contract, this transfer is carried out in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
Personal data may potentially be transferred to third countries, including outside the EU, in the course of processing. Should this be the case, this will be done on the basis of our legitimate interests, your consent as a data subject, or in fulfilment of existing (pre)contractual obligations or legal requirements. Insofar as processing takes place in third countries, it is done so in accordance with Article 44 of the GDPR, i.e. on the basis of special guarantees of compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU, which is the case in the United States, for example, through the Privacy Shield, or by observing special contractual obligations.
Your personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. Beyond this, data may be stored insofar as European or national legislators have provided for this in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Data shall also be erased or blocked insofar as a statutory or legally proscribed storage period expires, unless further storage is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, the fulfilment of a contract, or for the fulfilment of another legal obligation.
Each time you access our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system you are using to access our website.
The following data is collected:
These data are also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored with other personal data of the user.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6.1.f of the GDPR.
The temporary storage of your IP address is necessary as it enables us to provide our website on your computer. For this reason, we need to be able to store your IP address for the duration of your session.
These data are stored in temporary log files to ensure the functionality of our website. These data are also used to optimise our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. In this case, we process personal data for the purpose of pursuing a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6.1.f of the GDPR.
Personal data is deleted as soon as the data are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data to provide our website, this is the case when the user’s website session has ended.
Insofar as the data are stored in log files, this data is deleted after seven days at the latest. In exceptional cases, longer storage periods are possible. In such a case, the user’s IP addresses will be deleted or anonymised, thereby making it impossible for us to associate this data with an individual website user.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
In order to provide this website and related services, we use hosting services provided by a partner (third party and data recipient). During hosting, personal data are processed, in particular data from log files and cookies, but also communication data provided by data subjects via contact forms, etc. Such data are processed in order to provide the online service. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Article 6.1.f of the GDPR. These data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the provision of the offer.
In this case, data subjects do not have the possibility to object to the processing of their data. We have an agreement with the partner pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR.

Various pages of our website feature a contact form, which can be used to contact us electronically. If you use our contact form, the data entered in the input mask will be transferred to us and stored. These data include your first name and last name, your email address, IP address and the date and time of your enquiry.
Your consent for the processing of these data is obtained during the sending process and reference is made to this data protection policy.
You can also contact us via our specified email address. In this case, we will store the personal data you send us in/with your email.
These data may be processed using a customer relationship management system or a comparable digital system.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6.1.a of the GDPR, provided the user has given consent.
The legal basis for the processing of data transferred in the course of sending an email is Article 6.1.f of the GDPR. If the purpose of the email contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6.1.b of the GDPR.
The processing of the personal data from the integrated contact form serves us exclusively for the processing of the creation of contact. If you contact us by email, this also serves as the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
Any other personal data processed during the sending process are processed in order to prevent abuse/misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
These data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data transferred and processed via the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective enquiry has been dealt with or when the contact resulted in pre-contractual measures or a contract but these have expired and there are no longer any statutory storage requirements that require further storage. The enquiry is deemed to have been dealt with insofar as it can be inferred from the circumstances that the user’s question has been conclusively clarified. We check the necessity of further processing of data routinely every two years and comply with statutory retention periods.
Any other personal data collected during the sending process is deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In in such a case, we will be unable to continue dealing with your enquiry.

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of processing of your personal data:
Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may not be processed, with the exception of their storage, without your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
If the processing restriction has been limited in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.
The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary:
If you have exercised your right to rectify, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data against the data controller, the data controller shall be obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data have been transferred that they also need to rectify, erase or restrict the processing of the personal data, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

Content Delivery Networks (CDN)
Our services use MaxCDN (BootstrapCDN), a CDN from NetDNA, LLC (3575 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Suite 330, Los Angeles, CA 90068, USA; “MaxCDN”) and StackPath (jQueryCDN) a CDN from StackPath (2021 McKinney Ave, Suite 1100, Dallas, TX 75201). CDNs reduce the loading time of common Java Script libraries and fonts because the files are transferred from fast, local or low load servers. Among other things, your IP address is transmitted to MaxCDN. Both providers operate servers in the EU, but it cannot be excluded that your browser may also access servers outside the EU. The contents of our service and communication are not handled via CDN. To prevent the execution of Java-Script altogether, you can install a Java-Script blocker in your browser. You can find more information on the data protection of the providers at https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/privacy-policy/ for Bootstrap and https://www.stackpath.com/privacy-statement/ for jQuery.
