Contact with us

When you get in contact with us either by using the form on our website or sending us an email, we will store the data you have provided for a period of six months in order to process your request and respond to any potential follow-up questions you may have. This data will not be shared with third parties without your permission.

Collection and processing of personally identifiable data

Personally identifiable data comprises details pertaining to the person or circumstances of a specified or specifiable natural person. This may include your correct name, address, telephone number, email address and date of birth.

When you visit our website, our standard practice is to store connection data pertaining to the requesting device, which of our webpages were visited, date of the visit, the type of browser and operating system used, as well as the website which immediately preceded your visit to ours. This information is primarily evaluated for statistical purposes, with the individual user remaining anonymous. Person-specific information is not compiled, other than if this information is provided by you voluntarily, e.g. in order to register, to enter into a contract or to request information.

Usage and transmission of personally identifiable data
By submitting a request or booking, the user expresses their consent to the partially automated processing of their personally identifiable data (name, date of birth, postal address, email address, telephone number). In doing so, the user gives expressed permission for the aforementioned data to be processed for control purposes, to fulfill a contract, as well as for purposes of customer service and to provide the customer with relevant information. The personally identifiable data will only be stored as long as necessary for the aforementioned purposes. Deletion of the processed data may be requested at any time pursuant to the contract having been fulfilled.

The customer is fully aware of, and expresses their consent to the processing of the personally identifiable data about themselves as well as any relevant data pertaining to their fellow travelers.

Your personally identifiable data will not be shared with third parties, other than if this is necessary for the purposes of processing your contract or if you have given us your expressed permission to do so. For example, we are required to provide your personally identifiable data to the local government as well as other public authorities.

Revocation Rights
The processing of your personally identifiable data as well as your accommodation at our business represents a direct exchange of goods and services. We wish to point out that, should you decide to revoke the consent you have given, we will no longer be able to provide the service that was originally requested.

Deletion and Blocking of Data
We adhere to principles of data avoidance and data economy. That said, we only store your personally identifiable data for as long as necessary in order to attain the purposes as described here, as well as to comply completely with statutory retention requirements. If the original purpose has been voided or a specific deadline reached, our standard practice is to delete pertinent data in accordance with legal provisions.

COOKIE GUIDELINES

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that contain small amounts of information and which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device whenever you visit a website. If you visit the same site again in future, the cookies are sent back to the website from which they came, or to a different website that recognizes the cookie. Cookies are useful because websites can employ them to identify the tools used by specific users (for example, passwords, language selection, font size, other display settings). In this way, cookies also enable a website to adapt to your interests and avoid you having to enter the same information every time you visit the website. Cookies are used to authenticate computers, monitor visits and evaluate users’ website behaviors. They may also incorporate an explicit identification code, which tracks the user’s navigation of the website for statistical or advertising purposes. While you are navigating our website, your computer or mobile device may receive cookies from other websites or Web servers (please refer to “third-party cookies”). Without cookies, some aspects of our website might not function correctly or at all, since some cookies are required to ensure full functionality.

There are different kinds of cookies. Depending on their characteristics and functionality, the length of time they are stored on your computer or mobile device will vary: session cookies are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser; other cookies are stored on the user’s device for a predetermined length of time.

According to current law, expressed consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, so-called “technical” cookies do not require consent – such as those used to transmit a message via an electronic communication network or in order to provide a user with a service they have specifically requested. In other words, these cookies are indispensable for the correct functionality of the website or for other activities that have been requested by the user.

The public authorities responsible for protecting your data privacy have stipulated that the following technical cookies do not require your expressed consent:

• analytical cookies, used directly by the website operator in order to gather information about the number and behavior of users to the particular website,
• navigation and visit cookies (used for authentication, complete a purchase, etc.),
• functional cookies: These cookies enable the user to navigate the website based on a series of selected functions (such as language settings, items selected for purchase) with the goal of improving the convenience and performance of the website in question.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

In particular, this website uses:

• Technical cookies, in other words, for the visit to, and navigation of websites so that the website functions flawlessly and the user is able to make optimal use of website’s content and services.
• Analytical cookies help to understand how visitors make use of a website. These cookies neither collect specific information about the user’s identity nor any other personally identifiable data. The information is processed in aggregated and anonymized form.
• Third-party cookies, cookies which originate from other websites or Web servers and serve the particular purposes thereof.

Information gathered by cookies is not used in order to identify a specific user. Cookies are used exclusively for the aforementioned purposes.

THE BENEFITS OF COOKIES

Some cookies are exceptionally useful, since they improve the visitor experience when going to websites that have been visited several times before. Assuming you are utilizing the same device and the same browser, cookies remember e.g. your preferences, how you make use of our website, and adapt the displayed content so that it is relevant to your personal needs and interests.

HOW CAN I MANAGE AND DELETE COOKIES?

If you wish to block or delete cookies, you can do so by changing your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to accept or decline all cookies, or only accept certain types of cookie.
