Privacy Policy

As of 25 August 2026

1. Responsible body

Swifina Immobilien GmbH
In der Au 2
DE-79730 Murg
Telephone +49 7763 925 89 10
Email mail@swifina.com

Represented by Jürgen Fricker. A data protection officer has not been appointed, as the statutory requirements for doing so are not met.

2. Principle

We only process personal data insofar as this is necessary for the operation of this website and for processing your enquiry. The legal bases are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (initiation and performance of a contract), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website) and, insofar as expressly granted, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

3. Hosting and Server Logs

This website is hosted in Switzerland. The European Commission has determined that Switzerland provides an adequate level of data protection; a transfer is therefore permitted without additional safeguards.

When accessing the website, the server automatically collects access data and stores it in log files:

• IP address of the requesting device
• Date and time of access
• Name and URL of the retrieved file
• transferred data volume and message regarding the success of the retrieval
• previously visited page (referrer)
• browser and operating system used

These data are used exclusively for secure operation, troubleshooting and defence against attacks. They are not merged with other data sources and are deleted after 30 days at the latest. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Forms on this website

4.1 Initial contact

In the „Contact - Enquiry“ form, we collect your name, email address, subject and message. We use this information exclusively to answer your request. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, or for general enquiries Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4.2 Initial contact form

The initial contact form is aimed at prospective tenants for one of our flats. We use it to collect information about you and your contact details, your household and desired move-in date, your professional situation, your income and financial situation, your current living situation, as well as voluntary comments and documents attached by you.

The purpose of the processing is to check whether a viewing and, subsequently, a tenancy is being considered. The legal bases are pre-contractual measures at your request (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) as well as your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), which you grant in the form.

With the exception of the requested item, name and email address, all details are voluntary. However, incomplete information may mean that we are unable to process your request fully.

If no tenancy agreement is concluded, we will delete your details and the documents submitted as soon as they are no longer required for the selection process, but at the latest six months after its completion. If a tenancy agreement is concluded, the details will become part of the tenancy file and are subject to commercial and tax law retention periods.

4.3 Dispatch by email

Form submissions are sent to us by email at mail@swifina.com and are stored there as part of our usual business correspondence. If you send us the completed PDF form by email yourself, the same applies. Please note that unencrypted email does not offer complete protection against interception by third parties.

5. Spam protection (Akismet)

To detect unwanted form submissions, we use the Akismet service provided by Automattic Inc., USA. The form data, including your IP address and browser user agent, is transmitted to Akismet and checked there. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in preventing spam (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Data transfer to the USA is based on standard contractual clauses.

6. Cookies

This website uses technically necessary cookies, such as for session management, spam protection and language selection. These cookies are required for the operation of the website; the legal basis is Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TDDDG) in conjunction with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. You can delete or block cookies at any time via your browser settings; however, certain functions of this website may then no longer be available.

7. Integrated Third-Party Services

7.1 Map Display (Google Maps)

On individual pages we embed map material from Google Maps (Google Ireland Limited, Ireland). When a map loads, your IP address is transmitted to Google; a transfer to the USA cannot be ruled out in the process. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in an engaging display of the property location (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

7.2 Image delivery and audience measurement (Jetpack / WordPress.com)

We use Jetpack by Automattic Inc., USA. Images are partly delivered via their image service, and anonymised statistics on page views are maintained. In the process, the IP address and browser user agent are transmitted. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in stable operation and rough reach measurement (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

7.3 Share buttons (AddToAny)

The content sharing buttons are provided by AddToAny. When the page loads, a connection to their servers is established and your IP address is transmitted. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

7.4 Multilingualism and Translation (TranslatePress)

This website is delivered in multiple languages. For this, we use TranslatePress (Cozmoslabs, Romania). The translations are generated once and then stored in our own database; when an translated page is accessed, no further transmission to third parties takes place.

For the initial generation of a translation, the relevant page texts and technical connection data are transmitted to TranslatePress. According to the provider, it uses additional machine translation services for this purpose. Personal data is not specifically processed in this context; the translated content consists of the texts of this website that are publicly accessible anyway.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in making our content accessible to foreign-language interested parties as well (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

8. Recipients of your data

Within our company, your data is only made accessible to the individuals who need it to process your enquiry. In addition, we pass on data to data processors who assist us with the operation of the website and IT (hosting, maintenance, data backup), as well as to third parties insofar as we are legally obliged to do so. Data is not passed on for advertising purposes, and we do not sell any data.

9. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Information on stored data (Article 15 GDPR)
• Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Withdrawal of given consent with future effect (Art. 7(3) GDPR)

To exercise this right, an informal notification to mail@swifina.com or to the address stated above is sufficient.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is: The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg, Lautenschlagerstrasse 20, 70173 Stuttgart.

10. No automated decision-making

Automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR does not take place. We decide personally on the invitation to a viewing and on the conclusion of a tenancy agreement.

11. Changes to this statement

We will amend this privacy policy if the legal situation or the technology used on this website changes. The version published here shall apply in each case.
