Why does Divine Home process personal data?


There are various legal bases for the processing of personal data. Divine Home processes personal data in order to prepare and execute an agreement, on the basis of permission or to comply with a statutory duty. We may also have a legitimate interest in processing. This is the case, for example, if we use the personal data to improve our website and the services we offer on it, for the benefit of our customer contact, or if we use the personal data to make the website safer and more reliable, or for marketing purposes. For marketing purposes we mean (market) analyzes, sending newsletters, targeted advertisements and other content and profiling.


Often you will give us personal data to purchase a service, such as: to be able to search for a property with an account or to come into contact with one of our brokers. We then process your personal data in the first place to provide the requested service. In addition, we process this personal data to improve our services, for marketing purposes or for the security of our system. In other words: because we have a legitimate interest in this.


We process object data at Divine Home in the first place to implement the agreement and the requested service. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in the further processing of these object data, because it allows us to better perform our services and our marketing.


We also process automatically generated personal data, such as search behavior, browser data and IP addresses, in order to be able to deliver and improve our services and to improve customer contact and our marketing.


We process customer contact data first and foremost to ensure that our customer contact runs smoothly, as well as to improve our services and thus to implement our agreement and also on the grounds of legitimate interest.


If you give us feedback or report something, Divine Home has a legitimate interest in processing your data, because it allows us to improve our services.


We process all personal data mentioned above in order to generate statistics and determine categories so that we can improve our services, improve our security and carry out more targeted marketing. We therefore have a legitimate interest in this.


For a select group of personal data, we also (process) it because we are legally obliged to do so. This concerns, for example, data that is used for invoicing and data with which we record that you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us.

  • If you use our services, such as creating an account, we will retain your personal data as long as we need them to provide and improve that service. Or until the moment you want to have them removed.

  • If you have given permission to receive e-mails, we will retain your personal data until you withdraw it. Once you do so, Divine Home will still retain personal data that is required to show when you have given your consent and when you have withdrawn it.

  • We keep financial information such as invoices for as long as we are legally obliged to do so.


Object data is shown on our website maximum up to 1 year after the date on which the item was sold. We retain object data for as long as we need them to deliver and improve our services and as long as we are required by law.


If cookies or similar techniques are placed on your computer, we will show the storage period of this in our cookie policy.
