We, as publity AG, would like to welcome you to our website. Thank you for the interest you have shown. We wish to make your visit to our website as pleasant for you as possible. This involves treating your details responsibly in total conformity with all German legal requirements. To this end we focus in particular on your interest in maintaining your privacy as an Internet user.

Providing personal details

You can always visit our website without divulging any personal details. However, we sometimes require such information in order to ensure that your commission is processed correctly. Such a case occurs for example

• when you request information on a specific property
• when you specify a personal contact 

In such cases you can also decide what personal details we should receive and how we may process and use them.

Some pages provide fields for you to enter personal details such as name and address. This information will be used for correspondence with you and for the purpose for which you entrusted them to us.

We will not gather, process or use any other additional information relating to your person unless you give us your consent to this – except in cases in which we are legally obliged to do so.

Legal basis for data protection

Many service providers, including publity AG and our associate companies, can only conduct business nowadays with the aid of electronic data processing (EDP). This is the only way in which we can process contractual information other services offered in an accurate, rapid and economical manner. The way we collect, process and use data divulged to us regarding your person using computing equipment (automated processing) is governed in particular by the German Data Protection Act (BDSG).

Under its terms, automated or manual processing is permissible if the German Data Protection Act or another legal provision allows it or if the person concerned has agreed to it. The German Data Protection Act always allows this if performed in accordance with the aims of a contractual relationship or of a quasi-contract based on mutual trust, provided it is necessary in the interests of the party storing the data or third party such as a recipient, and there is no reason to assume that legitimate interests of the person affected in excluding processing or use do not clearly predominate or the person affected has such an interest that merits protection. Other special laws relating to websites, in particular the Tele Services Data Protection Act, also apply in addition to the German Data Protection Act.

Please note that the basic information provided here concerning data protection is of a general nature and that in individual cases supplementary information may be contained in the relevant contractual documents relating to our services provided when an agreement is concluded.

Your rights in accordance with applicable data protection legislation

publity AG takes the utmost care when handling your personal data. For this reason we attach great importance to data protection and comply very strictly with the provisions of the German Data Protection Act and other legal regulations when collecting, processing and using this data.

It is a matter of course for us that we respect your data protection rights as defined in the relevant German Data Protection Act and the Tele Services Data Protection Act, which in particular cover your right to information on data stored and your right to correction, blocking or deletion that you have in certain circumstances. Should you nevertheless no longer agree to your personal data being stored, or if it is no longer correct, we will, upon request, arrange for your data to be deleted, blocked or for the necessary corrections to be made (provided this is possible in accordance with laws ruling at the time).

Right of revocation due to the use of your data for marketing purposes

In order to be able to provide an optimum service, the use of data inherently extends to disclosing details for marketing purposes. However, you are always free to cancel the use, processing or transmission of your data for marketing purposes by informing us in writing at publity AG, Jacobstrasse 27, 04105 Leipzig or by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Use of your data

We use your personal details to allow optimum processing of a commission and to maintain our relationship with you, the client, to prevent misuse of our Internet site and to inform you of services and offers. We only process personal information where this is required to render the services offered. There is no automatic collection of personal information. Users must enter their own personal details.

All employees coming into contact with your personal details in the course of processing your commission are subject to an obligation of confidentiality.

In order for us to render the best possible service offered we must sometimes disclose personal information to third parties such as associated companies. However, such disclosure of data is only ever performed to the extent permitted by law and where it is required in order to render the service offered, for example, in order to be able to provide you with property information requested. The recipient may only use any data disclosed in this manner to fulfil his/her task. Any other use of this information is not permitted.

Our technical standards

We use the so-called secure sockets layer (SSL) security protocol in order to ensure above all else the secure transmission of your data. This cryptographic method offers extremely high security and is currently the most widespread method of data transmission in the Internet.
