These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts concluded between the MyHomeScout UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Selchowstrasse 15, 12489 Berlin, Deutschland (hereinafter referred to as 'Broker') and customers (hereinafter referred to as 'Customer').
The Broker provides services for the mediation of residential and commercial properties. This includes in particular the recording of search requests, the matching of supply and demand, as well as support in establishing contact between interested parties and providers.
By commissioning the application function, the customer authorizes MyHomeScout to transmit contact and application inquiries to the providers of the offers identified as suitable on their behalf and for their account. MyHomeScout acts solely as a messenger or representative of the customer; the inquiry is considered a declaration of the customer.
The authorization is limited to initiating contact. It does not include the conclusion of a rental or other contract, the making of binding commitments, the agreement of payment obligations, or the representation of the customer before authorities. The respective provider alone decides on the application and the conclusion of a contract; the customer conducts further communication themselves.
The transmission occurs technically, without the customer approving each individual inquiry in advance. Only the application data stored by the customer in the customer account (e.g., name, contact details, cover letter, and other voluntary information) are transmitted. The customer is responsible for the content and accuracy of this data and can change it at any time.
The power of attorney can be revoked at any time for the future by the customer deactivating the application function in their customer account, pausing or deleting the relevant search request. Already submitted inquiries remain unaffected by this and cannot be retracted by MyHomeScout.
The terms of use of individual portals may restrict the use of technical aids. MyHomeScout does not guarantee that an application will be accepted or forwarded by a portal and is not liable for actions taken by a portal against the customer, as far as MyHomeScout is not responsible for this.
MyHomeScout is only obligated to carry out the search carefully and to send the inquiries, but not to achieve a specific success. In particular, there is no entitlement to feedback from the providers, to a viewing appointment, or to the conclusion of a rental agreement. The number, timeliness, and quality of the available offers depend on the housing market and the connected portals and are beyond the influence of MyHomeScout.
The use of the service requires the establishment of a user account. The customer is obliged to provide truthful and complete information during registration and to keep it up to date. Only one account per person is permitted. There is no entitlement to registration.
The access data must be treated confidentially and must not be made accessible to third parties. The customer is responsible for all activities that occur through their account. In case of suspicion of misuse, MyHomeScout must be informed immediately.
The presentation of packages and services on the website and in the app does not constitute a binding offer, but rather a non-binding invitation to order. By clicking the order button ("order with payment obligation" or similar), the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a contract.
Before submitting the order, the customer can check their entries in the order overview and can change them at any time using the correction functions of the browser or app, or cancel the ordering process. The receipt of the order will be confirmed immediately by email; this confirmation of receipt does not constitute acceptance of the contract.
The contract is concluded as soon as MyHomeScout accepts the order through a separate order confirmation or by activating the ordered service. The contract text (order data and terms and conditions) will be stored by us and sent to the customer by email; the terms and conditions can be accessed at any time on the website. The contract languages are German, English, French, Turkish, Ukrainian, Spanish, and Arabic; the German version is authoritative.
The customer agrees to provide all necessary information completely and truthfully. Changes to their contact details or search criteria must be communicated to the Broker without delay.
The customer assures that the application data provided by them pertains to themselves or that they are authorized to transmit data of third parties (e.g., roommates). It is prohibited to use the service for illegal purposes, to make automated accesses outside the provided functions, or to circumvent protection mechanisms.
The remuneration is based on the Broker's current price list. Unless otherwise agreed, the commission is due upon the conclusion of a rental or purchase contract.
The following payment methods are available:
The remuneration is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. In the case of payment by bank transfer (prepayment), the provision of services begins only after the full amount has been credited to our account. If the amount is not received within 14 days, we are entitled to cancel the order.
Invoices are provided electronically and can be accessed in the customer account. The customer agrees to the electronic sending of invoices.
Certain additional services – especially AI functions – are billed through a credit balance in the form of credits. Credits are credited with the booked package or purchased separately. The current credit requirement per function will be displayed before use.
Credits are not legal tender and cannot be exchanged for cash, paid out, or transferred to other accounts. Unused credits expire at the end of the term of the associated package, unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase. There is no entitlement to a refund of unused credits; the statutory right of withdrawal remains unaffected.
MyHomeScout provides functions that are based on artificial intelligence. The use may consume credits and may be limited in quantity for capacity reasons (e.g., daily usage limits). The results are generated automatically and may be incomplete or factually incorrect.
The customer is obliged to check AI-generated content before its use – especially before sending it to providers. No guarantee is given for the accuracy, suitability, or success of this content; they do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice. To provide these functions, the necessary input data will be transmitted to a processor; further details are regulated by the privacy policy.
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us ( MyHomeScout UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Selchowstrasse 15, 12489 Berlin, Email: info@myhomescout.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g., a letter sent by post or an email) about your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the sample withdrawal form below for this purpose, but it is not mandatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
If you withdraw from this contract, we will refund all payments we have received from you immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day we received your notification of withdrawal from this contract. For this refund, we will use the same payment method that you used for the original transaction, unless something else has been expressly agreed with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this refund.
If you have expressly agreed that we may begin the execution of the search and application service before the withdrawal period has expired, and you have confirmed your awareness that by giving this consent you lose your right of withdrawal with the commencement of the execution of the contract, your right of withdrawal expires upon complete performance of the service. In the case of a partially performed service, you must pay an appropriate amount corresponding to the portion already provided in the event of withdrawal.
If you wish to withdraw from the contract, you can fill out this form and send it back to us.
To: MyHomeScout UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Selchowstrasse 15, 12489 Berlin, info@myhomescout.de
I/We (*) hereby withdraw from the contract concluded by me/us (*) for the provision of the following service: Search and Application Service MyHomeScout.
Ordered on (*) / concluded on (*): __________
Name of the consumer(s): __________
Address of the consumer(s): __________

Signature of the consumer(s) (only for notification on paper): __________

The contract is concluded for an indefinite period and can be terminated by either party with a notice period of 14 days to the end of the month, unless a different agreement has been made.
Cancellation button: Paid subscriptions can be canceled at any time via the cancellation function in the logged-in customer area ('Cancel subscription') without giving reasons. The cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period; already paid fees for the current period will not be refunded proportionally. The customer will receive a confirmation of the cancellation in text form.
The right of both parties to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.
MyHomeScout is entitled to temporarily block or terminate a user account if there is reasonable suspicion of a significant violation of these terms and conditions or applicable law, particularly in the case of false information, abusive use, multiple accounts, circumvention of protection mechanisms, automated accesses, or payment default.
The customer will be informed of a blocking and will be given the opportunity to respond, unless there are overriding reasons against it. In the case of a blocking for reasons attributable to the customer, there is no entitlement to a refund of already paid fees or to a refund of unused credits.
MyHomeScout strives for as uninterrupted availability of the service as possible but does not guarantee any specific availability. Maintenance work, technical disruptions, and changes at the connected real estate portals may lead to temporary restrictions. In the event of not insignificant outages for which MyHomeScout is responsible, the term of the affected package will be extended accordingly at the customer's request.
Customers can participate in the referral program and receive a personal referral code for this purpose. A commission will be credited for referred, effectively concluded, and fully paid contracts in the amount specified in the customer area. There is no entitlement to participate in the program.
In particular, self-promotion through mediation to oneself, the use of misleading or illegal advertising measures, unwanted advertising (spam), as well as trademark or legal violations in advertising are not permitted. In case of violations, MyHomeScout is entitled to cancel any commission claims incurred and terminate participation. Commissions will be paid out from the minimum amount specified in the customer area; chargebacks and cancellations will lead to the cancellation of the associated commission.
The Broker is not liable for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by suppliers. Liability for damages that are not based on intent or gross negligence is excluded.
The processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the Privacy Policy of the broker.
MyHomeScout is entitled to change these Terms and Conditions with effect for the future, provided that this is necessary for a valid reason – for example, due to a change in the legal situation, case law, or a change in the service offering – and the customer is not unreasonably disadvantaged as a result. The customer will be informed in text form about intended changes at least six weeks before they come into effect. If the customer does not object within six weeks of receiving the notification, the changes will be deemed accepted; this consequence will be specifically pointed out in the notification. In the event of an objection, either party is entitled to terminate the contract at the time the change comes into effect.
Should individual provisions of these GTC be wholly or partially ineffective, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. The place of jurisdiction, as far as legally permissible, is the registered office of the broker.
Note on consumer dispute resolution: The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which you can find at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obligated and not willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:
MyHomeScout UG (haftungsbeschränkt)The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it during registration, inquiries, or search requests. This may include:
The processing of this data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
We process your data particularly for the following purposes:
When you access our website, our server automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits (so-called server logfiles):
This data will not be merged with other data sources. The collection is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR; we have a legitimate interest in the technically error-free provision, stability, and security of our website (especially for the detection and prevention of attacks and abuse). The log files will be deleted after a maximum of 30 days, unless they are needed to clarify a specific case of abuse.
If you contact us via our contact form, by email, or by phone, we store your information including the contact details you provided in order to process your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. When using the contact form, we additionally store your IP address to prevent abuse and automated spam sending (limiting the number of inquiries).
The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or the execution of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
We do not share this data without your consent. It remains with us until you request deletion or the purpose of storage ceases. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
A user account is required to use our service. During registration, we collect the mandatory data you provided as well as your IP address and the time of registration. To confirm your email address, we send you an activation code or an activation link (double opt-in procedure). The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
If you activate two-factor authentication, we additionally process your email address or your phone number. To protect your account and prevent abuse, we log security-relevant events (e.g., logins, password and email changes) with the time and IP address. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. You can have your account deleted at any time.
You can delete your user account at any time and without giving reasons. There are two ways to do this: our publicly accessible deletion page, which can be accessed without logging in, and the deletion function in the MyHomeScout app. In both cases, we confirm receipt and carry out the deletion immediately after your confirmation; there is no processing time or waiting period.
With the deletion, all ongoing search orders will be terminated, the delivery of notifications, push messages, and emails will be stopped, and any ongoing subscription with PayPal will be canceled by us. The deletion also acts as a termination of the contract at that moment. There will be no refund of any amounts already paid for the remaining term.
The following data will be deleted immediately and irrevocably or anonymized in such a way that it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about your person:
Excluded from deletion are data for which we are legally obligated to retain or that we need to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (Art. 17 para. 3 lit. b and lit. e GDPR). This includes:
These data will be blocked for ongoing use and processed exclusively for the aforementioned purposes. They will no longer be used for advertising, analysis, or other purposes. After the respective retention period has expired, they will be deleted.
Restoration of the deleted account is technically not possible. You can register again at any time; a previously used free starter package cannot be claimed again.
We send service emails regarding your account, your matches, messages, applications, payments, and package durations to fulfill our contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). These are necessary for using our service; you can adjust the scope and channels in your notification settings.
In addition, we will send you tips for apartment searches, offers, and news only if you have explicitly consented to this (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, § 7 para. 2 no. 2 UWG). You give your consent voluntarily by checking a separate, unchecked checkbox during registration or at any time later in your notification settings. Granting consent is not a prerequisite for using our service.
To prove your consent, we log the time of granting or revoking consent, the language version of the consent text used, your IP address, and your browser identification (Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR). The confirmation of your email address takes place in the double opt-in procedure through the activation of your account.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future – via the unsubscribe link at the end of each promotional email, through the unsubscribe function of your email program, or in your notification settings. The legality of the processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected. Your service emails are not affected by the revocation.
The core of our service is an automated process: We match the search requests you create (including location, postal code, price range, size, number of rooms, and other criteria) with the recorded property offers. For each offer, a matching value is calculated, based on which the offer is displayed to you as suitable (positive match) or not suitable (negative match). The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
If you request the automated application function, we will transmit the application data you provided to the respective providers of the identified suitable properties on your behalf and at your request. You determine which data is provided; the triggering occurs based on your order.
An automated decision within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR, which has legal effects on you or significantly affects you in a similar way, does not take place. The decision regarding your application and the conclusion of a contract is made exclusively by the respective providers or landlords.
Your data will only be shared if:
The providers to whom we submit applications on your behalf (landlords, property management companies, brokers, and portals) are independently responsible for the further processing of your data under data protection law and do not act as our processors. We have no influence on the storage duration and use of your data by these recipients; you assert your rights as a data subject directly there.
We operate a referral program. If you reach our website via a referral link with a referral code, we store the time of the call, the referral code used, and your IP address to assign a later registration to the referring user and to correctly calculate the compensation. We also store the call in your session.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the billing and abuse control of the referral program (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) as well as, in relation to the referring user, the fulfillment of the affiliate agreement (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Referring users are shown only aggregated evaluations; your identity is not disclosed.
Our app processes the same account data as the website. Additionally, we store a session token on your device for login purposes. This local storage is technically necessary for the operation of the app (§ 25 Abs. 2 TDDDG).
If you allow push notifications, a device-specific push token will be generated and transmitted to us. We use it exclusively for sending the notifications you have activated (e.g., new matches, messages, payments, package duration) via Google Firebase Cloud Messaging. The legal basis for service notifications is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR, for advertising notifications your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR).
You can deactivate push notifications at any time in the app settings or your operating system. Upon cancellation or deletion of your account, the push token will be deleted.
In the AI assistant of our app, you can optionally enter your question by voice. Tapping the microphone icon will start the voice recognition of your Android device. The recording and conversion to text is not done by us, but by the voice recognition service set up on your device – usually the service from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Depending on your device settings, your voice input will be transmitted to Google servers and processed there; transmission to the USA cannot be excluded.
We do not receive the audio recording nor do we process your voice. Only the already recognized text is transmitted to us and treated like a typed input. The use of voice input is voluntary; you can type your question at any time instead. Access to the microphone occurs only with your explicit permission (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and only during voice input. You can revoke the microphone permission at any time in your device settings. The processing by the voice recognition service is subject to its privacy policy; you can find Google's policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
To provide our service, we use carefully selected service providers who process personal data on our behalf and according to our instructions (processing according to Art. 28 GDPR). This includes in particular:
Some of the aforementioned service providers are based or process data in the USA or other countries outside the EU or the EEA. If personal data is transferred to a third country, this is done on the basis of appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR, in particular based on EU standard contractual clauses and – where applicable for the respective provider – a certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Further information can be obtained upon request via the contact details mentioned above.
We would like to point out that the USA does not provide a level of data protection that is fully equivalent to that of Europe, according to the European Court of Justice. US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take effective legal action against it. We have no influence on such processing.
Your data will only be stored as long as necessary to fulfill the mentioned purposes or as required by legal retention periods.
Unless a more specific storage duration is mentioned in this privacy policy, your data will remain with us until the purpose of processing ceases. If you assert a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent, the relevant data will be deleted unless there are legally permissible reasons for further storage. If your data has been transmitted to providers as part of an application, they are responsible for its storage and deletion there.
The special regulations in Section 6 of this privacy policy apply to the deletion of your user account. It specifies in detail which data will be deleted or anonymized immediately and which data we must temporarily retain due to legal retention obligations.
You have the right:
Many processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a consent already given at any time. The legality of the processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected. To exercise your rights, a simple informal notification to the contact details mentioned above is sufficient.
If processing is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process the relevant data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Art. 21 Abs. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this processing at any time. If you object, your data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Art. 21 Abs. 2 GDPR).
The use of the contact details published in the imprint for sending unsolicited advertising is hereby objected to. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of unsolicited advertising.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the member state of your residence, your workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. The Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information is responsible for us.
We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser starts with "https://" and a lock symbol is displayed. We store passwords exclusively as cryptographic hashes and never in plain text.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet – for example, when communicating via email – may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
Our website uses cookies to facilitate usage and provide certain features. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

You can revoke or adjust your cookie consent at any time with effect for the future. To do this, click on the following button or on the cookie symbol at the bottom right of each page. Additionally, you can delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.
We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The service uses cookies and similar technologies to analyse how our website is used.
Data is only collected if you have consented to the "Statistics" category in the cookie notice. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw it at any time via the cookie settings at the bottom of the page; processing carried out before the withdrawal remains lawful.
We record, among other things, the pages visited, time spent, approximate location at city level, device type, browser and the source of the visit. Your IP address is truncated before storage. Advertising features such as Google Signals and personalised advertising are switched off; no data is combined with other Google services.
Data may be processed on Google servers in the USA, based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses and Google LLC's certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Event data is stored for 14 months and deleted automatically thereafter.
On request we send notifications directly to your browser, for example about new matches or messages. Technically we use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
Sending starts only after you have granted permission in your browser. Your browser then creates a device identifier which we link to your account and use solely to deliver the notifications. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can switch the notifications off at any time in your account under "Notifications", or withdraw the permission in your browser settings. The device identifier is then deleted.
We reserve the right to adjust this privacy policy to ensure it meets current legal requirements or to implement changes in our services.
