Retention Period of Personal Data<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">As a general rule, your personal data will be deleted once it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Data in your user account will be stored for as long as the account exists. Where statutory retention periods apply, we will store data until they expire. Upon termination of the contractual relationship, your user account will be suspended.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">No later than six (6) months after termination of the contract, or after 24 months of inactivity or since the last login, your user account and all associated personal data will be permanently deleted.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Different, shorter retention periods apply to certain data categories: verification results (creditworthiness, income verification, rent payment verification) will be deleted no later than six (6) months after the expiry of the three-month validity period of the application folder. Identity data (verified name and address) will be retained for the lifetime of the user account, as identity confirmation does not expire. Bank data (released transactions and averages) will be deleted no later than six (6) months after the application folder expires. Unreleased transactions are never stored by rentcard.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This does not apply where we still need the relevant data to enforce claims against you, or where we are legally or contractually obligated to retain the data. Where user data is not deleted in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations, its processing will be restricted. The data will be blocked accordingly and not processed for other purposes \u2014 for example, user data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.<\/p><h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">3. Processing of Personal Data and Purposes of Processing<\/h4><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">a) Web Hosting<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">For the provision of this website, we use the web hosting service of Google Cloud EMEA Limited (70 Sir John Rogerson&#8217;s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland) in the data center in 9909 TA Eemshaven (hereinafter: &#8220;Google&#8221;).<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">A web hosting service is required to operate a website. Google is engaged pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate economic interest in providing our services on this website. In connection with hosting, Google processes personal data on our behalf that is collected during use of the website.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google, under which the service provider guarantees that it processes data in accordance with the GDPR and ensures protection of the rights of the data subject.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">b) When Visiting the Website<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">You may visit <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcard.app\/en\/\">www.rentcard.app<\/a> without disclosing your identity. Your browser automatically sends information to our web server (e.g., date and time of access, name and URL of the retrieved file, browser type and version, referring website (referrer URL)).<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This includes the IP address of your device, which is temporarily stored in a log file and automatically deleted after 12 weeks.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The IP address is processed for technical and administrative purposes related to establishing and maintaining the connection, and to ensure the security and functionality of our website and to trace any unlawful attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the aforementioned security interest and the need to provide our website without disruption.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Processing the IP address in the log file does not allow us to draw direct conclusions about your identity.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">We also use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website. Further details can be found in sections 5 and 6 of this privacy policy.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">c) When Creating an Application Folder<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">You may have a digital application folder created for you. To do so, we require the following information:<\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">First name, last name, phone number, and<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">A valid email address<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The processing of your data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract \u2014 you have requested the service).<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Your data will be automatically deleted once the purpose of storage no longer applies, unless we are obligated under Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR to retain it longer due to tax and commercial retention and documentation obligations (under HGB, StGB, or AO), or you have consented to extended storage under Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">d) Use of the Account Information Service<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">To create your application folder, we use an Account Information Service (&#8220;AIS&#8221;) that holds the appropriate PSD2 authorization from BaFin.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">To retrieve your banking data, you need the login credentials for your bank accounts, which you enter directly in the iFrame of the account information service (finAPI GmbH, Munich). Your banking credentials are transmitted exclusively to finAPI \u2014 rentcard never receives your banking credentials, account balance, IBAN, or other account metadata. With your consent, finAPI retrieves account transactions from the past maximum six months from your bank. From these transactions, potential salary and rent transactions are suggested for your selection. You decide which transactions are released. Only the transactions you release are stored by rentcard.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">We process this data to provide the services you have requested as part of creating the application folder, for example:<\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">To create the application folder you have ordered,<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">To make it available to you for your information,<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">To share it with third parties, provided you have expressly approved this.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Processing is carried out through data protection-compliant partner services. Further details on the service providers used can be found in Section 4 III) of these privacy provisions.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">e) When Creating the Application Folder (Account Transactions)<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The account data you provide, along with the account transactions read from it, are used to create the application folder.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This is done by pre-selecting potential salary credits and rent payments from account transactions of the past maximum six months using a defined keyword list. You can view the pre-selection transparently and adjust it freely (add, remove, or recategorize transactions). An average is calculated from the transactions you release. rentcard does not assess your creditworthiness \u2014 the interpretation of the values is the responsibility of the recipient of your application folder.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Retention period: The application folder is generally valid for 90 days after creation. After expiry, the associated content is automatically removed from the active profile. No later than six (6) months after the expiry of the validity period, we will delete the personal data, unless statutory retention periods apply.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This data processing is necessary for the creation of the application folder, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">f) Use of the Self-Disclosure<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Additional data is also processed as part of a self-disclosure to create the application folder, and rentcard uses the personal master data you provide.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">To use the self-disclosure in full, we additionally require the following personal information (personal master data):<\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Address<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Number of rooms<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Age<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Gender<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Nationality<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Net household income<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Smoking behavior<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Phone number<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Users may create an applicant profile and store self-disclosure information in it for reuse across multiple rental applications. This data is stored in the user account for this purpose.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Self-disclosure data is stored for up to 24 months after the last active use of the user account. After this period, the data will be deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Data from credit reports is handled separately. Such data will be deleted no later than six (6) months after the expiry of the three-month validity period of the respective credit report.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">In addition to the basic application folder functions, rentcard offers various optional add-on features to extend or verify your rental application (e.g., identity verification, credit check, document verification, or rental deposit guarantee). These features are only activated upon your explicit selection.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">g) Document Verification<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">As part of your application folder, you may upload documents (e.g., pay slips, employment contracts, tenancy agreements) to substantiate your details. Uploaded documents are processed in two ways:<\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Data extraction (OCR):<\/strong> Predefined fields are extracted from the uploaded documents (e.g., salary amount, employer, contract details). Extraction is performed via Google Vertex AI Document AI and is limited to predefined fields \u2014 no content assessment or full-text analysis takes place.<\/li><li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Authenticity check:<\/strong> For PDF documents, metadata (PDF header, creation date, software signature) is used to check whether the document is original or has been subsequently altered. For documents with a QR code, the code is verified against the issuer&#8217;s online original. This is a purely technical check \u2014 no content assessment.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The extracted data is displayed to you for review. You decide which information is included in your application folder. Original documents are not permanently stored after processing unless you expressly save them in your application folder.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract). Processing by Vertex AI takes place on EU servers. Vertex AI does not store documents or results.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">h) Sharing Application Folder Data<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">You may use your application folder as a reusable application profile and authorize rentcard to transmit selected content to landlords or real estate portals. This may include, depending on your selection, identity data, income details, rental payment history information, creditworthiness information, and supplementary application details and documents.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Data is only shared on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Before each release, you will be informed of which data categories are transmitted to which recipients and for what purpose. You may revoke consent granted at any time with effect for the future.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Alternatively, you may download your application folder as a PDF and share it yourself. In this case, the data does not leave the rentcard platform.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The principles of data sharing are described in the Shared Data Policy at <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcard.app\/de\/shared-data\/\">https:\/\/www.rentcard.app\/de\/shared-data\/<\/a>.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">i) Use of the Credit Check<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">You have the option to carry out a credit check through the platform in order to add a credit report to your application folder. For this purpose, personal data such as name, address, and date of birth is processed in order to obtain credit information from a connected credit agency.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract \u2014 you have requested the service).<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">rentcard receives only a reduced credit result in the form of a traffic light color (Green = no known payment disruptions, Yellow = minor irregularities, Red = payment disruption present, Grey = insufficient data available). Detailed credit data is not stored by rentcard. Alternatively, a personal credit report (e.g., SCHUFA self-disclosure) may be uploaded, the authenticity of which rentcard verifies via QR code.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The credit check is carried out by CRIF GmbH as an independent controller. rentcard forwards your data to CRIF and receives the result. There is no data processing agreement between rentcard and CRIF.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The credit result is only shared with third parties with your explicit consent.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">j) Roles and Responsibilities in the Credit Check<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">When directly using the application folder, rentcard is the data controller for processing your data. You commission rentcard to create your application folder and carry out the necessary verifications.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">CRIF GmbH is independently responsible for conducting the credit check. There is no data processing arrangement between rentcard and CRIF \u2014 this is a data transfer between independent controllers.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">rentcard does not make decisions about rental applications. We provide information to you as separate modules. The decision on whether to rent is made solely by the landlord.<\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">k) Use of the Digital Identity Verification<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">As part of your application folder, you may undergo digital identity verification to confirm your details and verify your profile. Personal data such as name, date of birth, ID document data (e.g., document type, validity, issuing country), and photo or video sequences (e.g., liveness check) are processed. Identity verification involves the processing of biometric data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (matching of the selfie with the ID photo). This biometric processing is carried out exclusively by Veriff O\u00dc \u2014 rentcard does not store any images, ID document data, or biometric data.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract). For the processing of biometric data, a separate, explicit consent pursuant to Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR is obtained. Without this consent, biometric verification will not be performed. Identity verification via Veriff is optional \u2014 as a non-biometric alternative, identity confirmation via bank account (finAPI) is available.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">rentcard receives only the verification result (e.g., &#8220;verified&#8221; or &#8220;not verified&#8221;).
