Right to object

If you want to object to the processing of your data by the Operator in accordance with this privacy policy entirely or for individual measures, you can use the contact details, which are stated under the imprint. Please note that in the event of such an objection, the use of the website and the access of the services provided may be restricted or not possible at all.

Scope and purposes of data processing, legal bases, provision of data and storage period

Access and use of the website

Each time the website and its subpages are accessed, usage data is transferred by the respective internet browser and stored in log files (server log files). The stored data records contain the following data:

  • date and time of access
  • name of the subpage which is accessed
  • IP address
  • referrer URL (original URL from which you have accessed the website)
  • data volume transferred
  • product and version information of the browser used
The admissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR stating that the processing is lawful if it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. The data processed by the Operator is required to enable you to access and use the website. Such data must necessarily be processed while using a telemedia. Otherwise, you are not able to access the website. The log files are evaluated by the Operator in anonymised form in order to continuously improve the website and make it more user-friendly, to find and rectify faults more quickly and control server capacities. For example, it can be understood at which time the use of the website is particularly popular and the Operator can provide appropriate data volume. The admissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR stating that the processing is lawful if it is necessary for the purposes of preserving the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. The legitimate interest of the Operator lies in providing a website with information and offering services to customers as well as optimising the operation of the website. The provision of data is neither prescribed by law nor contractually. The consequence of not providing personal data is that the data cannot be used to optimise the website. Your IP address will be deleted or anonymised after termination of use. In the case of anonymisation, the IP addresses are changed in such a way that they can no longer be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person or can only be assigned with a disproportionate large amount of time, costs and effort.

Contact form and e-mail at a click

If you wish to get in touch with the Operator, a corresponding contact form is available. You must enter the following information in this form:

  • name
  • e-Mail address
  • message
In addition, you can voluntarily provide the following information:

  • telephone number
  • company address
Furthermore, you have the option to open an e-mail directed to the Operator at just one click on the website. The e-mail address linked to your e-mail program is automatically used as the sender. If you do not want your e-mail address to be retrieved in this way, you can change it in the settings of your respective e-mail program. The admissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR stating that the processing is lawful if it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. The personal data processed will be deleted after expiry of the legal retention periods unless the Controller has a legitimate interest in further storage. In any case, only the data will continue to be stored that is necessary to achieve the corresponding purpose. As far as possible, the personal data is anonymised.

Advertising

The Operator may use your data for advertising purposes. The admissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR stating that the processing is lawful if it is necessary for the purposes of preserving the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. The use of data for advertising purposes constitutes a legitimate interest of the Operator according to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. The Operator is dependent on actively presenting the services to new and existing customers. As a customer of the Operator, you will regularly receive product recommendations by e-mail, which are based on the services you have already used. By doing this, the Operator would like to provide you with information about the services that may be of interest to you on the basis of your last booking.
The legal basis is specified in Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR in connection with § 7 para. 3 UWG (German Act Against Unfair Competition).
The provision of data is neither prescribed by law nor contractually. The consequence of not providing personal data is that you cannot be contacted for advertising purposes.
The personal data processed for the purpose of advertising will be deleted unless the Controller has a legitimate interest in further storage. In any case, only the data will continue to be stored that is necessary to achieve the corresponding purpose.

Newsletter

You can additionally subscribe to an e-mail newsletter in order to obtain further information about the Operator’s services, the partner hotels and the Eventhotels Group. The Operator uses the service rapidmail of rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg, Germany for sending newsletters. The so-called double opt-in process is used to send the newsletter, i.e. you will only receive a newsletter by e-mail if you have previously explicitly confirmed that the newsletter service is to be activated. Once you have activated the newsletter, you will receive a notification e-mail, including a link for activation. You will only receive the newsletter if you click on this link. You can deactivate the newsletter at any time. For this purpose, please contact the Operator or use the unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter.
The admissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR stating that the processing is lawful if the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes. The provision of your data is optional, but necessary to receive the newsletter.
Your data will be deleted after withdrawal of your consent unless the Controller has a legitimate interest in further storage. This may be the case if the Operator must continue to store your data according to a contract conclusion with you. In any case, only the data will continue to be stored that is necessary to achieve the corresponding purpose.

You have the option to open an e-mail directed to the Operator for application purposes at just one click on the website.

If you do not want your e-mail address to be retrieved in this way, you can change it in the settings of your respective e-mail program. The Operator processes your data for the purpose of the application procedure and to reply to your message. The admissibility of this processing is based on § 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) (new) stating that personal data of employees may be processed for employment-related purposes where necessary for hiring decisions. If you do not provide the Operator with the requested information and documents, you will not be considered in the application procedure. The provision of data is prescribed contractually. Application documents received by the Operator will be stored for 6 months after refusal unless the applicant has given consent to further storage.
