Homelike Internet GmbH does not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
The protection and confidentiality of your data is extremely important to Homelike (Homelike Internet GmbH, Hansaring 97, 50670 Cologne).
Where Homelike collects, processes and uses your personal data as part of the offer, this takes place in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz – TMG).
The controller as defined in Art. 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Homelike Internet GmbH, Hansaring 97, 50670 Cologne, Germany(https://www.thehomelike.com/en/imprint-privacy-policy/) info@thehomelike.com.
You can contact our data protection officer at Datenschutz@thehomelike.com or via our postal address, adding “The Data Protection Officer”.
Where you provide us with personal data (e.g. via a contact form), we will use this data only for the purposes of processing contracts concluded with you and for technical administration. We do not pass the personal data provided to us on to third parties unless the disclosure or transmission is necessary for the purposes of implementation or the data is required on account of legal obligations to higher-level authorities.
The same applies to enquiries that we receive from third parties in a business context (potential contractual partners or other third parties).
We also use data for internal purposes for contacting customers and for customer support. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) (“legitimate interests”). We have a legitimate interest in maintaining and analysing our customer relationship. This corresponds to our business interests. Your rights as a user are protected because you are either in a contractual relationship with us or are in contact with us for business reasons. Your data is deleted once it is no longer required for the relevant purpose. Enquiries from private persons are usually deleted as soon as they have been responded to. You can object to the processing at any time with future effect.
Legal restrictions on data processing in promotional emails/communication remain unaffected and are observed by us.
Where we use commissioned service providers for individual functions of our offer, we inform you below of the relevant processes.
The scope and nature of the collection, processing and use of your personal data varies depending on whether you visit and use our platform only for informative purposes or also use our platform to correspond with us or actively use it as a (potential) tenant or landlord. To use all services offered by Homelike, registration is required, which involves the provision of various personal data.
If you visit our website without registering, only aggregated and statistical data about your usage behaviour will be processed (e.g. via Google Analytics or other analysis services, as described below).
In addition, for technical reasons, your web browser automatically transmits data to our web server when you visit our website. This data includes the date and time of access, the URL of the referring website, the file accessed, the volume of data sent, the browser type and version, the operating system and your IP address. This data is stored as log files separately to other data that you provide in the context of use of our website. This data is not linked to a specific person unless we are legally required to do so. IP addresses are deleted automatically after one month.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (“legitimate interests”). Homelike uses and processes the personal data to ensure that the service is user-friendly and suited to user requirements and that it is effective and secure, as well as to ensure the optimal arrangement of accommodation and other services.
You register on the Homelike platform and thereby create a user profile or update the details in your user account.
You save accommodation or place adverts for accommodation, make bookings or confirm booking requests.
You link your user account on a third-party website (e.g. LinkedIn) to your Homelike account. If your settings on the third-party website allow and if permitted by you, we receive personal data that you have provided on the third-party website or that you make available to us during the transmission process.
Certain data is required for this purpose. If you do not provide this data, services or parts thereof may not be provided.
For sign-up with LinkedIn, please see the further information under No. 13.
Your bank details (account holder, IBAN and BIC); these, however, within the normal booking process only via the service provider “Stripe”. We generally receive no payment data, only truncated identifying features (the last four characters of the IBAN and references to the booking with Stripe).
Your complete invoice address incl. VAT ID no. so that we can invoice you for our billable services.
Your credit card or bank details (account holder, IBAN and BIC); within the normal booking process, however, only via the service provider “Stripe”. We generally receive no payment data, only truncated identifying features (the last four characters of the IBAN and references to the booking with Stripe).
Your bank or credit card details will not, of course, be passed on to the tenant or provider.
You can also add additional personal data to your user profile voluntarily, such as your telephone number, work information (employer, position, salary, education, certificates, additional qualifications), photo, date of birth and nationality. When you send a booking request, this data is sent to the accommodation provider to allow the provider to form a better picture of you. Your personal data cannot be seen by other users or the public if you have not actively made a booking request. If you submit a request, the personal data can be seen only by the user offering the accommodation or other services in question via the Homelike platform.
Your personal contact details (name, email address and, where applicable, telephone number) as the tenant or provider of accommodation is exchanged only once a binding booking has been made.
You can view, modify and delete your information in your user account at any time. You can also delete your user account. It will then be kept by Homelike for a few months before being completely deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
The legal basis for processing as described in b) to h) above is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (“performance of a contract”).
Homelike passes your personal data on to third parties only if the transmission is needed to provide the offers or services from Homelike that you want to use or if a contractor that we use to provide the offers or services requires this data. Unless you have been expressly informed otherwise, such parties are entitled to use the data only to the extent required to provide the offer or services.
Data is transmitted to government institutions and authorities entitled to receive such information only within the scope of statutory obligations to provide information or if we are obligated to provide information on account of a court ruling. Under no circumstances will we pass on personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes unless you have expressly agreed to this beforehand.
Landlords/accommodation providers who receive data from (potential) tenants are not entitled to store, use or pass on this data once the contractual relationship has ended. This applies in particular if a booking is not made. In this case, landlords/accommodation providers must delete the data after the request has been declined (this happens automatically as long as the data is not exported from the Homelike system). Any statutory regulations on longer retention periods remain unaffected. A corresponding contractual obligation is imposed on landlords/providers.
You can disable the storage of cookies in your browser by changing your browser settings to prevent the setting of cookies (“private browsing mode”). You can also delete cookies from your PC hard drive at any time (“Cookies” folder). You can use our website without cookies, but if you do so please note that you may be able to make only limited use of the functionalities on this website.
With regard to the processing of personal data by the payment service provider, the privacy policies of the payment service provider apply.
Payment data is always stored on the servers of the relevant payment service provider, and is used and processed for transactions.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (“performance of a contract”).
Our website also uses Google Analytics services and Facebook features, as well as services from other providers outside the EU. Special cookies are used in this regard. Please note that, in this context, information may also be transferred abroad (EU and outside the EU). For such transfers, the specific data protection notices apply as follows. Please note that we ourselves do not send abroad the data that you knowingly provide in contact forms.
Irrespective of this, data will of course be sent abroad if you send a booking request to a provider abroad.
The legal basis for the analysis by Google Analytics is legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We need to analyse our offer in order to evaluate and improve it and ensure that it is appropriately targeted. IP anonymisation ensures that users’ interests are protected.
We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and, as part of Google AdWords, conversion tracking. Google conversion tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). When you click on an advert placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies are valid for 30 days.
If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can detect that you have clicked on the advert and have been forwarded to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no possibility of cookies being tracked via the websites of AdWords customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to prepare conversion statistics for AdWords customers that have opted for conversion tracking. Through this, customers learn the total number of users that have clicked on their advert and been forwarded to a page featuring a conversion-tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that enables users to be identified personally.
This website uses Google remarketing. Adverts may appear in the Google Display Network – based on websites within the “Display Network” which also use Google remarketing and whose content has previously been accessed by visitors. In particular, we use Google remarketing to tailor our adverts to you based on your previous visit to this website – if, for example, you visit other websites that are part of the Google network. You can disable this option by configuring the relevant settings at the following link: http://www.google.com/settings/ads.
If you visit this website while using your Google account and have permitted Google to link your browsing history to your Google account in order to personalise adverts, Google will link information that has been obtained via Google Analytics to your Google account data. Google will use this collected information for cross-platform marketing purposes. This means that the way in which you use this website on a device creates the basis for showing adverts to you on a different device. The data that Google collects about Google account users via this website does not enable Homelike to determine the identity of any Google account users.
By using our website, you confirm that you agree to the processing of data collected about you by Google and the manner of data processing described above, as well as to the specified purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, please note that if you do so you may be unable to use all functions of our website to their fullest extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookies relating to your use of the website by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link in the DoubleClick opt-out add-on section. Alternatively, you can disable DoubleClick cookies on the Digital Advertising Alliance site at the following link (https://adssettings.google.com/).
This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that enables marketers to manage website tags (i.e. integrated elements that can trigger a data transfer) via an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookieless domain and records no personal data. The tool enables the deployment of other tags that may collect data in some circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been implemented at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented using Google Tag Manager.
The legal basis for the use of Google advertising products as described in No. 12 to 15 above is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. It is necessary for us to monetise our offer – including by collecting and processing user data – in the best possible way, which includes appropriate advertising. We can determine users and target groups using the aforementioned techniques. Your interests are protected because your data is processed only in pseudonymised form.
We use an interface with independent review portal Trustpilot, run by Trustpilot A/S, Pilestræde 58, 5, 1112 Copenhagen, Denmark. We strive to constantly improve our service and, for this reason, have opted to use such a solution. It is therefore also not possible for us individually to manage or influence review invitations. For each booking on Homelike an invitation is generated. This is the only way in which we can ensure a full, independent customer review of our company and our services that cannot be influenced by us as a shop. The data sent to the business app for this purpose (first name, last name, email address and reference number [order number for unique assignment]) is sent to our business app by Trustpilot and is not used by Trustpilot itself or passed on to third parties by Trustpilot. A review of our company can be submitted on the following page: https://de.trustpilot.com/review/stilconceptstore.de. Reviews are always verified based on a reference number (request number) via a specially generated link. It is up to you as a customer whether you leave a review. To submit a review/leave feedback, you need to create/open a user profile with Trustpilot. As well as submitting a review for the company that sent the invitation, you can then also submit reviews for any other company on the Trustpilot review portal. If a review is being submitted without an invitation having been received first, however, a unique reference for the contractual relationship with the company being reviewed is required. Further information on this subject is available from Trustpilot. If a review is submitted by clicking on the link in the invitation, after entering the personal data (usually name and email address for verification purposes), a Trustpilot user profile is created automatically. This involves agreeing to the data protection provisions and general terms and conditions of Trustpilot. These are available on the Trustpilot website at: https://legal.trustpilot.com/end-user-privacy-terms. By creating a user account on our website, you are expressly agreeing to the aforementioned transmission of reference data via an electronic interface to the business app by Trustpilot and to the automatic sending of a review invitation from this application.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (“legitimate interests”). We have a legitimate interest in enabling the review and evaluation of our offers. This is necessary in order to appropriately design and align them for the future. Users’ interests are protected because participation is voluntary and data is deleted if users do not participate. If users actively participate and submit a review, Art. 6(1)(a) (“consent”) also applies.
Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network linkedin.com (“LinkedIn”) and the social network facebook.com (“Facebook”). The plugins are labelled with a LinkedIn logo or a Facebook logo.
Our website uses the sign-up and login function, as well as social plugins (“plugins”), from the social network “LinkedIn”, which is operated by the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The plugins are labelled with a LinkedIn logo or the text “LinkedIn Social Plugin”.
When you visit a Homelike website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers. The content of the plugin is sent directly to your browser by LinkedIn, and your browser then integrates this content in the website.
Through the integration of the plugin, LinkedIn receives the information that you have visited the relevant page on our website. If you are logged into LinkedIn, LinkedIn can link the visit to your LinkedIn account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by adding a comment, your browser sends the corresponding information directly to LinkedIn, where it is then stored.
If you do not want LinkedIn to collect data about you via our website, you will need to log out of LinkedIn before visiting our site.
The legal basis for the interaction with LinkedIn is the consent you have given to LinkedIn in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
To access your general data, such as your name, profile picture, gender, user ID, work information and any other data that you have made public in your profile.
To access your data even if you are not currently using the application.
To access your other profile information, such as your date of birth, home town/city and current place of residence.
The LinkedIn sign-up/login is easily identified by the characteristic white text on the blue background.
The legal basis for the interaction with LinkedIn is your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and the performance of a contract for the sign-up in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. It is necessary for us to monetise our offer – including by collecting and processing user data – in the best possible way, which includes appropriate advertising. We are able to determine users and target groups using the aforementioned technique. Your interests are protected because your data is processed only in pseudonymised form.
If you do not want providers to link the data collected via our website directly to your profile in the relevant social network, you will need to log out of the network in question before visiting our website.
The legal basis for the interaction with Facebook is the consent you have given to Facebook in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Homelike uses the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) on the website. This function enables Homelike to address website visitors with targeted advertising through the display of personalised, interest-related Facebook ads to website users when they visit the social network Facebook. To utilise this function, the Facebook Remarketing Tag is implemented on our website.
When booking accommodation on Homelike, leases can be signed online using a digital signature. For some accommodation on the Homelike portal, this is necessary to create a binding booking. For this purpose, we use the API (application programming interface) of www.HelloSign.com.
Hello Sign is operated by JN PROJECTS INC, 944 Market Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA.
Hello Sign is registered under the Privacy Shield and acts as a processor for Homelike.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (“performance of a contract”).
On our website, Bing Ads technology is used to collect and store data, from which usage profiles are then created using pseudonyms. This is a service provided by the Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. This service enables us to track the activities of users on our website if these users have reached our website via Bing Ads adverts. If you reach our website via such an advert, a cookie is set on your computer. A Bing UET tag is integrated on our website. This involves a code via which, in conjunction with the cookie, some non-personal data relating to the use of the website is stored. This includes, among other things, the time spent on the website, which areas of the website are visited, and the advert via which the user reached the website. Information on your identity is not collected.
The information collected is sent to a Microsoft server in the USA and generally stored there for a maximum of 180 days. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website and the processing of this data by disabling cookies. This may limit the functionality of the website in some cases.
In some circumstances, Microsoft may also track your usage behaviour across more than one of your electronic devices using cross-device tracking and is thereby able to display personalised adverts on Microsoft websites and in Microsoft apps. You can disable this at: http://choice.microsoft.com/opt-out.
Further information on the analysis services provided by Bing can be found on the Bing Ads website (https://help.bingads.microsoft.com/#apex/3/en/53056/2). Further information on data protection at Microsoft and Bing is available in the Microsoft privacy statement (https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-GB/privacystatement).
We are constantly developing our website further and occasionally use a web service provided by MouseStats, 1 Research Drive, Dartmouth, B2Y 4M9, Canada. With this service, mouse movements, mouse clicks, scrolling movements and key presses on the site are recorded. Input in personal fields in the contact form is not recorded.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. It is necessary for us to analyse and subsequently monetise our offer in the best possible way – including by collecting and processing user data relating to behaviour on our sites. We are able to analyse user behaviour using the aforementioned technique. Your interests are protected because your data is processed only in pseudonymised form.
On some websites, Homelike uses the web analysis service Hotjar provided by Hotjar Ltd. Hotjar Ltd. is a European company based in Malta (Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe, tel.: +1 (855) 464-6788).
This tool enables movements on the websites on which Hotjar is used to be tracked (heatmaps). For example, it is possible to determine how far down users scroll and which buttons are clicked and how often. Using the tool, it is also possible to obtain feedback directly from website users. In this way, we receive valuable information that enables us to make our websites even faster and more user-friendly.
Homelike pays particular attention to the protection of your personal data when using this tool. This means that we are only able to track which buttons are clicked, the movement of the mouse, how far down is scrolled, the screen size of the device, the device type and browser information, the geographic location (only the country) and the preferred language for displaying our website. Areas of the websites in which your personal data or the personal data of third parties is displayed are automatically hidden by Hotjar and can therefore never be tracked.
Hotjar offers all users the option to prohibit the use of the Hotjar tool with the Do Not Track header, so that no data relating to the visit to the website concerned is recorded. This setting is supported by all commonly used browsers in their current versions. To configure this setting, your browser sends a request to Hotjar to disable tracking of the relevant user. If you use sipgate websites with different browsers/computers, you will need to set the Do Not Track header separately for each of these browsers/computers.

Enquiring can be done directly by providing your contact information via an online form on a third-party property portal affiliate such as Immobilienscout, Sublet, Zoopla, Rightmove, etc. or via creating an account on www.thehomelike.com. Additionally, Homelike utilizes different categories of communication to which explicit subscription is required.
For example: information regarding your enquiries and requests, and the launch of Homelike in cities you may be interested in. This excludes emails that are operational in nature and relate to your requests, bookings, and other business activities with Homelike where no consent is necessary.
For example: white-papers, real estate studies with a focus on the furnished apartments market, and general Homelike news and information (upon explicit consent).
For example: participation in exclusive personalized promotions and offers (upon explicit consent).
Where appropriate and where consent is provided, Homelike will communicate marketing messages via alternative channels such as SMS (Short Messaging Service) and Direct Mail. Instructions for unsubscribing from these channels will be provided in the communications themselves. However, if you would like to unsubscribe from these channels please contact support@homelike.cc and provide your name, relevant email address, relevant phone number, and/or relevant mailing address and we will take note and action your request.
When creating an account with the Homelike platform you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration and verify your email address, in what’s called a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can sign-up with other email addresses than his/her own.
Registrations are logged in order to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements.
Email marketing and the performance measurement associated with it are based on the recipient’s consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG) or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lt. f. GDPR in conjunction with Section German 7 para. 3 Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG).
The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This also applies to the evaluation of transactions for individualized communication with the user. We are interested in the use of a user-friendly and secure email system with interesting and relevant content for the user, which serves our business interests as well as the expectations of the users and also allows us to provide proof of consent.
Transactional Emails are sent and data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR (contractual relationship).
You can unsubscribe from email at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. You will find a link to unsubscribe at the end of each email sent from Homelike directing you to an Email Preference Center. The Email Preference Center provides you with the options to opt in or opt out from the three email preferences, as outlined above (i.e. Transactional Emails, Informative Emails, and Promotional Emails).
As a registered user of the Homelike platform, we may store the email addresses we have unsubscribed for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual application for cancellation is possible at any time, provided that at the same time the former existence of a consent is confirmed.
Should you wish to unsubscribe from Homelike emails and cannot access the Email Preference Center, or if you would like your data to be removed from Homelike’s systems, please contact us at support@homelike.cc and provide the email address you want unsubscribed or what data you would like to be removed.
The email delivery service provider is acting as a processor pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 1 GDPR.
Marketing emails contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when an email from Homelike is opened or, if we use an email delivery service provider, from its server.
This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour and based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. The statistical data collection also include determining whether the emails are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual email recipients. However, it is neither our endeavour, nor, if used, that of the email delivery service provider, to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
Such measurement is done the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f whereas it is our legitimate interest to obtain information on success of our Email-services, while users interests are taken in account since they can opt-out at any time.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data that you provide, in particular to protect the data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.
