Privacy Policy
Datenschutzerklärung
We, as the provider of this website and the responsible party (for detailed information, see our legal notice), take our obligation to data protection very seriously and design our services so that only necessary personal data is collected, processed, and used. Under no circumstances will personal data be rented or sold to third parties for advertising purposes. Personal data will also not be used for advertising or marketing purposes without your express consent.
Access to personal data is only granted to those persons who need this data to perform their duties, who are informed about the legal provisions on data protection, and who have committed themselves to complying with them in accordance with the applicable legal provisions (Section 5 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) or Article 5 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).
Changes in the purpose of processing and data use
Since the processing methods used may change/evolve due to technological advances and organizational changes, we reserve the right to further develop this privacy policy in accordance with the new technical and organizational framework. We therefore ask you to review our privacy policy from time to time. If you do not agree with the further developments that occur over time, you can request in writing, in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, the deletion of data that is not stored based on other legal requirements, such as commercial or tax retention obligations.
Data collection and storage / use and sharing
The personal data collected as part of our services will only be used to process your contract and inquiries/bookings without your consent. This means that if you make a booking through us and our website, the personal data you provide, in particular your booking and contact details (last name, first name, address, email address, telephone number), will be transmitted to third parties, e.g., booked service providers such as interpreters and translators.
Furthermore, your data will only be used and shared, e.g., for advertising and market research purposes, if you have previously given your consent. You can, of course, revoke your consent in this regard at any time with future effect. To do so, please send an email (contact details can be found in the imprint) with the subject “Unsubscribe from data records.” Your personal data will be processed and used in accordance with the GDPR.
Export and processing of data in countries outside the European Economic Area
Your personal data will not be exported to countries outside the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as the EEA), unless it is apparent from the booking that a transfer of the specified data to third parties located in third countries is necessary, e.g. for the performance of the contract (Article 49 GDPR), and unless this is stated in this data protection declaration.
General legal bases for processing
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party — as is the case, for example, when processing their travel bookings — the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.
General Legal Bases for Processing
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party — as is the case, for example, when processing their travel bookings — the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that makes the processing of personal data necessary — for example, to fulfill tax obligations or due to specific entry requirements for the USA — the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and as a result, their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital data needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such a case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party — provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override that interest. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they are specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could exist, for example, when the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
Your Rights
As a data subject, you have the right to request information about the personal data stored about you, the scope of data processing and sharing, and to receive a copy of the personal data stored about you.
You also have the right to request without undue delay the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you and the completion of incomplete personal data stored about you.
Furthermore, you have the right to request the immediate deletion of your stored personal data if the legal requirements are met. Please note that your right to deletion may be subject to limitations. For example, we are obligated or permitted to retain certain data due to statutory retention periods. Data required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims is also exempt from your right to deletion.
You have the right, under certain conditions, to request the restriction of processing (i.e., the marking of stored personal data to limit its future processing).
In addition, every data subject has the right at any time to request, free of charge, information from the data controller about the personal data stored concerning them, as well as a copy of this information. Please address all requests for information to the responsible entity (see legal notice/imprint).
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint was filed will inform the complainant about the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the GDPR.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of data protection laws, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent authority for data protection matters is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is headquartered. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link:
https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html
Special for our website
The website of our company, as well as booking systems embedded on our site (e.g., via iFrame), collect a series of general data and information each time the website or the embedded booking system is accessed. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The data collected may include:
(1) the types and versions of browsers used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (known as the referrer),
(4) the subpages accessed on our website via the accessing system,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
(8) other similar data and information used to defend against threats in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, our company does not draw any conclusions about the individual concerned. Rather, this information is needed to
(1) deliver the content of our website correctly,
(2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising,
(3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by our company both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by an individual.
External Links
For your information, you will find links on our website that refer to third-party websites. Unless this is clearly visible, we will inform you that this is an external link. The responsible party has no influence whatsoever on the content and design of these third-party websites. Therefore, the guarantees of this privacy policy do not apply to external providers.
What security standards do we use (SSL technology)?
The transmission of sensitive personal data between your computer and our servers or the servers of our partners and service providers is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol for bookings and payments. This prevents third parties from reading your data during transmission. In addition to the secure transmission between your computer and our servers, access to our servers by third parties is also protected by a variety of security mechanisms.
We have also implemented organizational and technical security measures, which we continuously evaluate and adapt as needed, to protect the personal data we store and process.
Use of Cookies
The responsible party uses so-called “cookies” to individually design and optimize the customer’s online experience and online time. A cookie is a text file that is either temporarily stored in the computer’s RAM (“session cookie”) or saved on the hard drive (“permanent” cookie). Cookies contain, for example, information about the user’s previous accesses to the corresponding server or information about which offers have been accessed previously. Cookies are not used to run programs or load viruses onto your computer. Rather, the main purpose of cookies is to provide a service specifically tailored to the customer and to make using the service as convenient as possible.
Sessioncookies
The responsible party primarily uses “session cookies,” which are not stored on the customer’s hard drive and are deleted when the user closes the browser. Session cookies are used for login authentication and load balancing.
Avoiding cookies
Visitors have the option to refuse cookies at any time. This is usually done by selecting the appropriate option in the browser settings or through additional programs. Further information can be found in the help function of the browser used by the customer. If the customer decides to disable cookies, this may reduce the scope of the service and have a negative impact on the use of the services provided by the controller.
Subscribe to our newsletter
On our company’s website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter.
Our company regularly informs its customers and business partners about company offers by means of a newsletter. Our company’s newsletter can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by the data subject for the first time for newsletter delivery using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address, as the data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to prevent (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject. This allows us to trace the person at a later date and therefore serves to legally protect the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link for the purpose of revoking the consent can be found in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to communicate this to the controller in another way.
Use of newsletter tracking
Our company’s newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, our company can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, our company will automatically interpret this as a revocation.
Use of other analysis programs
The responsible party conducts or commissions analyses of its customers’ behavior when using its services. For this purpose, anonymized or pseudonymized user profiles are created. These user profiles are created for the sole purpose of continuously improving the responsible party’s service.
Use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of website visitors. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The controller uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our website is made from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above.
By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis.
As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves, among other things, to help Google trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
Through the use of cookies, personal information such as the time of access, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject are stored. With each visit to our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States. Google may share these personal data, collected via this technical process, with third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already described, by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s IT system is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the browser add-on must be reinstalled to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. Further information and Google’s applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
Usage of Google+
The data controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is an online meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual environment. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allow the online community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operator of Google+ is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Each time an individual page of this website—operated by the data controller and on which a Google+ button is integrated—is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is being visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ can be accessed at https://developers.google.com/+.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Google+, Google recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject, and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific subpage they are visiting. This information is collected by the Google+ button and associated by Google with the respective Google+ account of the data subject.
If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thereby gives a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the data subject’s personal Google+ user account and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the conditions accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website is subsequently stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used and the photo stored in that account, in other Google services—such as search engine results, the data subject’s Google account, or in other locations, such as websites or in connection with advertisements.
Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing Google’s various services.
Google receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged into Google+ at the time of accessing our website—regardless of whether or not the data subject clicks the Google+ button.
If the data subject does not want such a transmission of personal data to Google, they can prevent it by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our website.
Further information and the applicable privacy policies of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Additional information from Google about the Google+1 button can be found at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
Use of Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
The website uses the online web program Google AdWords and, as part of Google AdWords, conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you view an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your computer. This allows Google to recognize when users view a Google ad and are redirected to the website. The cookies expire after 30 days, contain no personal data, and are therefore not used for personal identification.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information generated using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. This information includes information about the number of website views and redirects.
To prevent tracking, you can deactivate cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. The data will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
Google Tag Manager
The controller uses Google Tag Manager on this website. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means: no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, it remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google Maps
The responsible party uses the Google Maps API on its website to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) also collects, processes, and uses data about the use of the Maps functions by website visitors. Further information about data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy, which is available at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
Google reCAPTCHA
To ensure sufficient data security when submitting forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. in certain cases. This is primarily used to distinguish whether the input was made by a natural person or misused by machine and automated processing. This service includes sending the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. The different privacy policies of Google Inc. apply to this. Further information on the privacy policy of Google Inc. can be found at http://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy or https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Usage of Facebook
The data controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is an online social meeting place, a virtual community that typically allows users to communicate and interact with each other. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or allow users to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ enables users of the network to create personal profiles, upload photos, and connect with others via friend requests.
The operator of Google+ is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Each time an individual page of this website—operated by the data controller and containing a Google+ button—is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the Google+ button to download a display of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google is informed about which specific subpage of our website is being visited. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+.
If the data subject is logged into Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person is visiting each time they access it, and for the entire duration of their stay. This information is collected via the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.
If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons on our website and gives a +1 recommendation, Google assigns this action to their personal Google+ user account and stores the related personal data. Google saves the +1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly accessible in accordance with the terms the user accepted. A +1 recommendation made on this website may then be stored and processed along with other personal data, such as the name of the data subject’s Google+ account and their profile photo, across other Google services—e.g., search engine results, the user’s Google account, or in other places like websites or advertisements.
Additionally, Google can link the visit to this website with other personal data already stored by Google. Google also records this personal information with the aim of improving or optimizing its services.
Google receives information through the Google+ button whenever the data subject visits our website and is logged into Google+ at the time—regardless of whether they click the button or not.
If the data subject does not wish personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our website.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Additional guidance from Google about the Google+1 button can be found at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
Facebook Website Custom Audiences
We use communication tools from the social network Facebook, in particular the Custom Audiences and Website Custom Audiences products. A non-reversible and non-personal checksum (hash value) is generated from your usage data, which can be transmitted to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. The Website Custom Audiences product uses the Facebook cookie. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection, the further processing and use of data by Facebook, and your options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/ and https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation, among others.

Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and share so-called tweets—short messages limited to 140 characters. These short messages are accessible to anyone, including individuals not registered on Twitter. Tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow the tweets of a particular user. Furthermore, Twitter allows broader audience engagement through hashtags, links, and retweets.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Each time an individual page of this website—operated by the data controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) is integrated—is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the Twitter component to download a display of the respective Twitter component from Twitter. Further information about the Twitter buttons can be found at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. As part of this technical process, Twitter is informed about which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to allow users to share content from this website, increase its visibility in the digital world, and boost our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Twitter, Twitter recognizes which specific subpage of our website is being visited with each visit and for the entire duration of the stay on our site.
