PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: April 1, 2023
Welcome to our website (“Site”). The Site is operated by RE Locate with its place of business at Danziger 73, 10405 Berlin, Germany. The site is used by clients who need the services provided by RE Locate (“Clients”).
This Privacy Policy explains how RE Locate collects, retains, and uses information, including personal data (“Personal Data”), about Clients, and other Site visitors.
CLIENTS
We collect Personal Data from our prospective Clients when we receive a request. This includes names and contact information of prospective Client’s representatives, and any information relating to the Client’s needs.
We may supplement the information that we collected from the Clients with additional information from publicly available and third-party databases or services that provide information about businesspeople and companies.
ALL SITE USERS
RE Locate uses the Personal Data in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to the Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such Services, maintain your account, contact you regarding your use of the Services and/or the Site or to notify you of important changes to the Services and/or the Site, and to monitor your use of such services. For individuals in the EU or UK, such use is necessary to respond to or implement your request and for the performance of the contract between you and us.
We use your Personal Data for the legitimate interests described below:
- To send administrative information to you, for example, information regarding the Site and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies.
- To conduct analytics on how the Site and our Service are being used by you for our internal purposes.
- To market our services.
- To prevent fraud or criminal activity, misuses of our products or services, and ensure the security of our IT systems, architecture and networks.
- To comply with legal obligations and legal process, respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; enforce our terms and conditions; protect our operations; protect our rights, privacy, safety or property; and allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.
- To keep basic data to identify you and prevent further unwanted processing if you ask us to delete your data and we are required to fulfill your request.
We may use your contact details to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you, upcoming events or other promotions. If we do so, each marketing communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt out” of receiving future marketing communications. Note, however, that as a user of our services you cannot opt out of some administrative communications that are reasonably necessary to the services. If at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.
When you visit our Site, our servers record information (“log data”), including information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit the Site. These log data include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (from which we understand the country you are connecting from at the time you visit the Site), browser type and settings, the date and time of your request.
Where the information that we collect automatically on our Site is Personal Data, our legal basis for the use of this information is that it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests in maintaining the safe operation of our Site as well as in learning how Site visitors interact with our Site to improve your use of it.
There are circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties. As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets. In addition, we may employ third parties such as website analytics companies, providers of digital advertising services, our hosting and cloud computing service providers, providers of CRM, marketing and sales software solutions, providers of billing and processing payments functions, providers of background check services. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function. Pursuant to our instructions, these parties may access, process or store Personal Data in the course of performing their duties to us and solely in order to perform the services we have hired them to provide.
RE Locate may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of RE Locate, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.

Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data:
● Right of access. If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your Personal Data and, if so, provide you with a copy of that Personal Data along with certain other details. If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable fee.
● Right to rectification. If your Personal Data is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to ask that we correct or complete it. If we shared your Personal Data with others, we will tell them about the correction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data so you can contact them directly.
● Right to erasure. You may ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data, such as where you withdraw your consent. If we shared your data with others, we will tell them about the erasure where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data with so you can contact them directly.
● Right to restrict processing. You may ask us to restrict or ‘block’ the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to us processing it. We will tell you before we lift any restriction on processing. If we shared your Personal Data with others, we will tell them about the restriction where possible. If you ask us, and where possible and lawful to do so, we will also tell you with whom we shared your Personal Data so you can contact them directly.
● Right to data portability. You have the right to obtain your Personal Data from us that you consented to give us or that was provided to us as necessary in connection with our contract with you. We will give you your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You may reuse it elsewhere.
● Right to object. You may ask us at any time to stop processing your Personal Data, and we will do so: (1) If we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your Personal Data – unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing or (2) If we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing.
● Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling. You have the right to be free from decisions based solely on automated processing of your Personal Data, including profiling, which produce a significant legal effect on you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us, or with your explicit consent. We are not currently processing your Personal Data for such type of automated decision-making, including profiling, but if we elect to do so in the future we will provide you with notice and choice, in accordance with data protection law.
● Right to withdraw consent. If we rely on your consent to process your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing of your data that has already taken place.
● Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority. If you have a concern about our privacy practices, including the way we handled your Personal Data, you can report it to the data protection authority that is authorized to hear those concerns.
You may exercise your rights by contacting us as indicated below.
Data Transfers
When you apply as a Developer or use our services as a Client, or otherwise use our Site, your Personal Data will be transmitted to servers in Germany as necessary to provide you with the services that you requested, administer our contract with you or to respond to your requests as described in this Privacy Policy, and the data may be transmitted to our service providers supporting our business operations (described above). The United States may have data protection laws less stringent than or otherwise different from the laws in effect in the country in which you are located. Where we transfer your Personal Data out of the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom we will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection where it is processed and your rights continue to be protected.
Data Retention
Our policy is to keep your Personal Data only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we use your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer Personal Data.
CHILDREN
RE Locate does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit any Personal Data through the Site. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Data on this Site without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Data to RE Locate through this Site, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.
THIRD PARTY SITES
This Site may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by RE Locate (“Third Party Sites”).
