Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-15

1. Data Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Artur Dick
Schussenweg 14
88085 Langenargen
Germany
Email: info@casita-sol.de
Phone / WhatsApp: +49 172 2869387

2. General Information

I process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the GDPR and relevant German regulations.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

3. Hosting via Cloudflare

This website is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. (Cloudflare Workers).

Provider:
Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

When you visit this website, technical data required for secure and stable operation may be processed, in particular server log data such as:

  • IP address
  • date and time of request
  • requested resource
  • referrer URL
  • browser type and version
  • operating system

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure website operation).

Where data processing takes place in third countries (especially the USA), this may involve data protection risks. Cloudflare states that appropriate safeguards are used, such as EU standard contractual clauses, and to be certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

4. Contact by Email or Request Form

If you contact me by email or via the request form on this website, I process the information you provide (for example name, email address, preferred rental period, message content) to handle your request. The request form is processed technically by Cloudflare (Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Email Service, Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) and delivered to me by email; no further email service provider is involved. After submitting, you receive an automatic confirmation of receipt, including your details, at the email address you entered. To prevent abuse, your IP address is used briefly to limit the number of submissions per visitor; it is not stored in the request or in the email.

Spam protection with Cloudflare Turnstile. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile. The Turnstile script is not loaded when you merely visit the page, but only once you actively use the form (for example by clicking into a field). This establishes a connection to Cloudflare servers and transmits technical data (in particular your IP address and browser information) used to check whether the request comes from a human. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in protecting the form against spam and abuse) and Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG, as the check is necessary for the service you requested (the form).

Legal bases:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary for pre-contractual steps or contract performance
  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for general communication requests

Data is stored only as long as required to process your request and to comply with legal retention obligations.

Contact via WhatsApp. This website contains a link you can use to contact me via WhatsApp. The link is a simple reference: only when you click it does WhatsApp (app or WhatsApp Web) open with a pre-filled message, and a connection to WhatsApp (WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland, or Meta Platforms) is established. Merely visiting this website does not transmit any data to WhatsApp. If you write to me, I process your phone number, your WhatsApp name and the message content to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). WhatsApp’s own privacy terms apply to its processing. If you prefer not to use WhatsApp, please use the request form or email.

5. Google Maps (Map Display)

In the “Location” section, I offer an optional interactive map from Google Maps to illustrate where the apartment is located. For privacy reasons, this map is not loaded automatically when the page is opened — it only loads once you actively click the “Load map” button.

Only with that click is a connection established to servers of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Data (in particular your IP address) is then transmitted to and processed by Google, potentially including in the USA.

The legal basis for loading the map is your consent, given by actively clicking “Load map” (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). As long as you do not click, no data is transmitted to Google.

For more information on how Google handles user data, see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Cookies and Local Storage

This website is designed as a largely static information website and does not use non-essential tracking cookies for advertising.

Technically necessary storage operations may be based on Section 25(2) TDDDG.

If consent-based services are added in the future, they will only be used after obtaining valid consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG).

7. Recipients of Data

Data is shared only where necessary, in particular with:

  • the hosting provider (Cloudflare)
  • Cloudflare (Turnstile spam protection and email delivery) in connection with the request form
  • technical service providers for maintenance and support, where applicable

No additional disclosure to third parties takes place without legal basis or your consent.

8. Retention Period

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or as required by statutory retention obligations.

9. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have in particular the following rights:

  • right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
  • right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • right to withdraw consent at any time with future effect (Art. 7(3) GDPR)

To exercise your rights, please contact: info@casita-sol.de

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The competent authority for me is the Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg (State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information), Lautenschlagerstraße 20, 70173 Stuttgart, Germany.

10. Data Security

Appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented to protect personal data against loss, unauthorized access, and manipulation.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This privacy policy may be updated where legal, technical, or organizational changes make this necessary.
