The protection of personal data is an important concern for us. Therefore, the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the applicable European and national legislation.

You can, of course, revoke your declaration(s) of consent at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, please contact the responsible person according to § 1.

The following declaration provides an overview of the type of data collected, how this data is used and passed on, what security measures we take to protect your data and how you can obtain information about the information given to us.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) S. lit. b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1) S. 1 lit. c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) S.1 lit. f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Data protection in the context of the partnership with Miles & More

As part of our partnership with the frequent flyer programme Miles & More, we transmit personal data to qiibee AG (Alpenstrasse 7, 6300 Zug, Switzerland), which processes it on behalf of Miles & More.

If you participate in our Miles & More loyalty programme and apply for mileage credit, we will transfer the necessary data to qiibee AG. This data includes in particular

Invoice amount
Stay data (e.g. booking or stay dates)
Your Miles & More service card number

Your data will be transmitted and processed solely for the purpose of fulfilling your request for mileage credit and crediting your miles to your Miles & More account.

The processing of your personal data in the context of mileage crediting is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfilment of contract), as this data is required for the fulfilment of the contract between you and us or between you and Miles & More.

Your personal data will be transmitted to qiibee AG, which processes the data on behalf of Miles & More and forwards it for mileage crediting. The data will be forwarded exclusively for the above-mentioned purpose.

qiibee AG is based in Switzerland, which is not part of the European Union or the European Economic Area. However, the EU Commission has decided that Switzerland offers an adequate level of data protection, which is why the transfer of your data to qiibee AG is considered secure.

The data transmitted by us to qiibee AG will only be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfil your request for mileage credit. The data will then be deleted, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations.

You have various rights in connection with the processing of your personal data. You have the right to request information about the personal data stored about you at any time and to request its correction, deletion or restriction of processing, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. You also have the right to data portability.

If you believe that your personal data is not being processed in accordance with data protection regulations, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Further information on the processing of your personal data by qiibee AG can be found in their privacy policy: https://www.qiibee.com/privacy-policy

The data protection declaration is intended to be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:

(a) Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

j) Consent shall mean any freely given indication of the data subject’s wishes for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous manner, in the form of a statement or any other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. google web fonts [SB1]

Our pages, which are created with *blogger.com, use so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts.

This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

(a) The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. p.1 f) DSGVO.

(b) Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website.

The so-called meta pixel of the social network Facebook (Meta Platforms Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA) is used on our website. This code enables us to track the behavior of users after they have been redirected to our website via a Facebook or Instagram ad. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our ads and optimize our marketing measures.

The data collected by the pixel is anonymous to us and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your identity. However, Meta can link this data to an existing Facebook or Instagram account and use it for its own purposes.

The Meta pixel is only used with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time via our cookie banner.

Please note that if your data is processed by Meta, it may be transferred to the USA, where there is no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU.

Further information on data processing by Meta can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

§ 9 Contact form and e-mail contact

(1) Our website contains contact forms that can be used for electronic contact. If you take advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us or the respective hotel as an e-mail.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

Insofar as this involves information on communication channels (for example, e-mail address, telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via this communication channel, if necessary, in order to answer your request.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

(2) The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. lit. a) DSGVO if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DSGVO. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1S. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

(3) The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. We will, of course, use the data from your e-mail inquiries exclusively for the purpose for which you provide them to us when contacting us. In the case of contact by e-mail, the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data also lies in its reply. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

(4) The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation shall be deemed to have ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

(5) You have the option to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation can not be continued. Regarding the revocation of consent/opposition to storage, we ask you to contact the person responsible or the data protection officer as per § 1 via e-mail or by post. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

§ 10 Data protection and GDPR compliance when using our voicebots

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires the lawful, purposeful and transparent processing of personal data. Our voicebot systems are based on the central principles of the GDPR, in particular

Purpose limitation
Data minimization
transparency
Storage limitation
Integrity and confidentiality

If personal data is transferred to so-called third countries (e.g. the USA) as part of our Voicebot solutions, this is done exclusively in compliance with the requirements of the GDPR. We rely on suitable guarantees, in particular Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the EU Commission. These are implemented by the technology partners we use, such as Twilio or OpenAI. This ensures an appropriate level of protection.

Voice processing by our voicebots takes place in real time to generate responses. Personal data is not stored permanently unless this is expressly activated at the customer’s request (e.g. for the documentation or analysis of call content). In these cases, processing takes place on the basis of a corresponding legal basis (e.g. consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or fulfillment of contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

If call recording is activated, automated information is provided at the beginning of the call and, if necessary, consent is obtained by the voicebot.

To protect personal data, we implement suitable technical and organizational measures (TOMs) in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR. These include, among others:

Pseudonymization and data minimization
Implementation of deletion and storage concepts
Access controls and role-based authorizations
Logging and monitoring (surveillance)

§ 11 Social media (plugins)

We currently do not use social media plugins on our website. However, we have social media presences on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Should you visit our social media profiles, data will be collected by the respective platforms. In the following, we point out the data collection when using the social media platforms (also in the case under use of plugins). For the purpose and scope of the data collection on the respective platform, please refer to the corresponding provision:

Facebook: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Facebook

Social plugins of the social network Facebook (Meta-Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal, Harbour Dublin 2 Ireland) are used on these pages. This plugin allows you to bookmark these pages and thus share them with other participants of the social network. You can recognize it by the Facebook logo. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with Facebook and are logged in there.

– If you click the Facebook button while logged into your Facebook account, the content of these pages can also be linked to the Facebook profile. In this case, Facebook can also assign the visit of these pages to your user account. If you click the activated button and link the page, for example, Facebook will also store this information in your user account and share it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will help you avoid being assigned to your profile.

– If you are not a member of Facebook or have logged out of Facebook before visiting this site, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and store your IP address.If you do not want Facebook to be able to assign the visit to our pages to your Facebook user account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website or must not activate the plugin.

Basically, the following data is transmitted to Facebook:

– Browser-related data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, time and date of the request, website visited.

– User ID (For logged in Facebook account).

According to Facebook in Germany, the IP addresses are anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plugin, personal data is therefore transmitted from you to Facebook and stored in the USA. Since Facebook collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the logo.

We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by Facebook.

Facebook stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for non-logged-in users) for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. Through the plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Facebook to exercise this right.

Settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings at https://www.facebook.com/settings?tap=ads. Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing as well as your respective rights by and against Facebook can be found at http://www.facebook.com/policy.php, http://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084, http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info-on-other#applications and http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info#everyoneinfo.
