3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our web pages may use so called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer or device nor do they carry viruses. Cookies are used to make our product safe, more user friendly and more effective. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.



Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Certain cookies which are necessary for electronic communication as well as certain functions (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to art.6, paragraph 1 letter f of GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyse your surfing behaviour) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server-Log-Files

The website provider automatically saves certain information (so called Server-Log-Files) which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• type and version of browser
• your operating system
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• time of server request
• IP-address

These data will not be combined with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact Form

In case you contact us with an inquiry via the online contact form, we save the data you provided including your contact details. This is necessary for further processing of your inquiry as well as possible booking related questions that may incur. These details are safe with us and will not be handed to a third party without your consent.

Processing of your personal data within the contact form therefore is only being made with your consent (as per art. 6, paragraph 2 letter a GDPR). You can withdraw from this consent at any given time. You can do this in sending us an informal e-mail. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.



We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g., after completion of your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

Inquiries via e-mail, telephone or fax

We preserve the right to save all your detailed information (name, nature of inquiry) when contacting us with an inquiry via e-mail, telephone or fax. This information is solely necessary to process your inquiry and will not be handed out to any third party.

The processing of your data for the online booking and the online booking request is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and serves the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures.



The data you transmit to us will remain with us until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Processing of customer data and contract data

We only use personal data as it is necessary for the justification, content design or changes to the legal relationship (stock data). This takes place via art.6, paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR, which entitles us to process data needed to fulfil a contract or for pre-contractual measures. Personal data which is gathered via our website (user data) is only being used and processed as seen necessary to ensure customer satisfaction and/or invoicing.



All gathered personal customer data will be deleted after completion of the agreed contract or the finalization of business relations. Compelling regulations by law such as legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer upon completion of contract of our services and digital content

We only share personal data with a third party, when necessary, in the context of contract execution, such as your financial institution for payment purposes.

Further data sharing will not take place unless you specifically agree (e.g., advertising purposes).



The basis on data processing refers to art.6, paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR, which entitles us to process data needed to fulfil a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
