Avantgarde Properties takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. To use our online services, it is generally not necessary to provide personal details. Personal details are only collected by us, if this is necessary to process your requests or to use certain services, for example, if you as a user of this website request information about an offered product, a service, a callback, or specific marketing materials (e.g. a catalogue or newsletter). The use of respective offers and the transmission of the necessary details to us is voluntary. We use these details solely for the purpose of providing you with personal service. We also collect general, statistically relevant data concerning visitors to our site, but these cannot be associated with a particular person. They include the date and duration of a visit to our website and the pages viewed by the visitor. We have engaged some external service providers as data processors to operate the website and process your inquiries. These are contractually obliged to comply with data protection. Personal details are not disclosed to third parties, sold or otherwise exploited. You can use our website without providing personal details. Please note that in that case, individual offers, such as the sending of catalogues or subscribing to our newsletter, will not be available. At your request, we will be happy to inform you, free of charge, whether and what personal details about you (if any) are stored and for what purpose they are used. Incorrect data will be corrected by us once they have been brought to our attention. Furthermore, you can revoke your consent for the use of collected personal details at any time with effect for the future. Please inform us of your revocation by sending an email to office@avantgardeproperties.com. We reserve the right to change these security measures insofar as this becomes necessary due to technical developments. In such cases we will also adjust our privacy policy guidelines accordingly.
