General data protection declaration
We, as the provider of this website and the responsible body (you can find detailed information in imprint), take the obligation to data protection very seriously and design our services in such a way 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. No personal data will be used for advertising or marketing purposes without your express consent.
We only have access to personal data who need this data to carry out their tasks, who are informed about the statutory provisions on data protection and who comply with the applicable statutory provisions (Section 5 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) or Art. 5 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation GDPR) to comply with them.
Changes in the purpose of processing and data use
Since the processing methods used may change / develop further due to technical progress and organizational changes, we reserve the right to further develop this data protection declaration in accordance with the new technical and organizational framework conditions. We therefore ask you to check our data protection declaration from time to time. If you do not agree to the further developments that have occurred over the course of time, you can request in writing, in accordance with Art.
Data collection and storage / use and disclosure
The personal data collected as part of our services will only be used without your consent to process contracts and your inquiries / newsletter registrations.
You can of course revoke your respective consent in this regard at any time with effect for the future. To do this, please send an email (contact details can be found in imprint) with the subject "Unsubscribe data". The processing and use of your personal data takes place in accordance with the requirements of the BDSG or, from May 25, 2018, the GDPR.
General legal basis for processing
If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, when processing your travel bookings, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are required to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations or due to the special features of entering the USA, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Article 6 I (d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis 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 person concerned do not prevail. We are particularly permitted to carry out such processing operations because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the person concerned is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
