The submission of the data marked as mandatory in the registration form for Prospective Buyers is required in order to process your registration and create a Prospective Buyer’s Account. If you do not submit this data, you will not be able to register as a Prospective Buyer.

As a Prospective Buyer, you have the opportunity to declare your interest in purchasing the apartments advertised via our portal or to bid for the chalets advertised via our portal at auction. For further details, please see our Terms of Use.

If you participate in an auction as a bidder, we process the bids that you submit.

Both when declaring an interest in purchasing and when participating in an auction as a bidder, we will ask you to send us a copy of your passport and a credit report from your bank, and will subsequently process this data.

We require the copy of your passport and the credit report from your bank in order to verify your eligibility to purchase an apartment under land transaction law and to check your credit rating. If you do not submit this data, you will not be able to purchase an apartment or to conclude a contract of purchase for a chalet at auction.

The data is used exclusively for the purpose of processing your registration, managing your Prospective Buyer’s Account (including correspondence with you and troubleshooting), verifying your eligibility under land transaction law, checking your credit rating, processing your request to purchase an apartment as well as any bids submitted by you in an auction for a chalet.

In this regard, you may be contacted by the Estate Agent and asked to provide additional or more specific information. The decision as to whether your credit rating is sufficient is not based solely on automated processing or profiling. The processing of your data by the Estate Agent is governed by its data protection policy.

Should your interest in purchasing lead to the conclusion of a purchase contract or should you win an auction, all of your data will be forwarded to the Estate Agent for further processing and to the solicitor commissioned to draw up and execute the purchase contract, namely Karl Schelling in 6850 Dornbirn. The processing of your data by the solicitor is governed by the latter’s privacy policy.
