To use certain areas of our website (real estate portal), you have the option of registering a user account. The information collected during registration via the mandatory fields is required to provide access to the user account. You can also voluntarily provide additional information for supplementary (convenience) functions.
Every time a user accesses the BLC real estate portal and every time a file is retrieved, data about this process is stored in a log file. It contains, for example, IP address, date, time and the pages viewed.
The following data processing is required as part of the registration process:

The offer exclusively comprises commercial real estate in Berlin and Brandenburg. The database service is free of charge for both providers and users. Every registered user can freely access the BLC real estate database via the Internet.
Legal basis for processing
We process your data for the purpose of providing a user account on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. There is no legal obligation to provide the data. Without the provision of this information, the registration of a user account and thus the conclusion of a contract is not possible.
In addition, the processing of additional voluntarily provided information for the purpose of providing further (convenience) functions is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
If the data processing is necessary for the performance of a (pre-contractual) contractual relationship, the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Storage period of the processing
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration on our website is canceled or modified. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.
Revocation of processing
As a user, you have the option of canceling your registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you amended at any time. If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.
