At Boardinghouse Rosenstrasse GbR, we take the protection of personal data very seriously and adhere strictly to the rules of the Data Protection Act and other relevant data protection regulations. As a visitor to our website or our app, we would like to provide you with a summary of the measures undertaken by us to protect your personal data. 

Personal data - “detailed information according to § 3 (1) BDSG (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz - Federal Data Protection Act) 
concerning personal or material circumstances of a specific or definable individual person (the person concerned)” - will only be collected for technical purposes when visiting our website or our app. 
Generally, when you visit our website or our app, information is automatically stored for technical reasons in server log files that your browser has relayed to us. These are:

  • Browser type/version 
  • Operating system used 
  • Referrer URL (the site previously visited) 
  • Host name of the accessing computer (IP address) 
  • Time of server request.

These data are not allocated to specific individuals. There will be no consolidation of these data with other data sources, and after a statistical analysis the data will be deleted immediately.

In addition, it is only in rare cases that a visit to our website or our app requires you to provide us with more personal data (such as name, address, e-mail address or phone number). This is the case, for example, if you request receiving information by mail or request a concrete and individual offer. 

As a rule, we base the protection of personal data on three pillars:


  1. Full transparency in what and when something occurs with your information, as well as how it is handled
  2. Data minimisation, i.e. minimising the amount of information requested
  3. Strict purpose limitation for the use of information provided by you


Under no circumstances will collected information be sold or transmitted to third parties, except when the latter is required for contract management or for service delivery. A transmission to authorities or state institutions that are entitled to receive information is justified only if said transmission is subject to a statutory obligation to provide information or if it is decided judicially. In such cases, the transmission is always limited to the minimum extent required.

After the purpose of information retention is lifted (and after potentially relevant tax and commercial legal periods have lapsed), all of your personal data is immediately deleted, unless an expressed agreement by you exists for a more extensive use of information. 

In this connection, you may always informally exercise your right free of charge under the federal Privacy Act (BDSG):

  • The right to information (§ § 6, 19, 34 BDSG) concerning the stored personal data, its origin, the recipients or categories of recipients and the purpose of storage
  •  The right to rectification, blocking or deletion (§ 6, 20, 35 BDSG) of personal data  
  • The right to object, effective for the future (§ 28 BDSG)

You may at any time revoke consent granted for the collection of information, its storage and use thereof, without stating any reasons.
