Privacy Policy
A. Data protection in general
With this privacy policy, we inform you about the processing of your personal data in the context of our business relationship and the use of our website. We, as the provider of this website and responsible body in terms of data protection regulations (you can find exact details in the 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.
Only those persons have access to personal data at our company who need this data to perform their tasks, who are informed about the legal provisions on data protection and who have undertaken to comply with them in accordance with the applicable legal provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
When using our website, please refer to the explanations in section V. ff. of the data protection information.
I. Data collection, basis of processing and your rights
1. data collection and storage / use and disclosure
1.1
We process the personal data that we receive from you in the course of our business relationship and that we need to fulfill our obligations, in particular to process your (travel) inquiries and (travel) bookings.
1.2
The relevant personal data usually includes your booking and contact data (name, first name, address, e-mail address, telephone number), if applicable, the data in your travel documents (passport number, passport data, date of birth,), if applicable, the data on your method of payment and other data provided by you for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations and processing of your travel or the processing of other booked services.
1.3
Within the scope of our business relationship, you only need to provide the personal data that is required for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship or that we are legally obligated to collect. Without this data, we will usually have to refuse to execute the order or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract and may have to terminate it; I.e. for the use of a service or functionality, it is necessary that you provide the specified data.
2. the legal bases of the processing
2.1
The personal data collected from you will be collected and processed for various purposes. The specific purposes of the processing result from the respective services ordered.
2.2
The legal basis for the processing of your data is derived from Art. 6 and Art. 9 DSGVO, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain or must obtain your consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, as is the case, for example, when processing your (travel) bookings, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations or due to the special features of entry into the
USA, the processing of your data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO in conjunction with the relevant legal provision.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. This legal basis covers processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, but where the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms are not overridden.
2.3
If, in exceptional cases, we process special categories of personal data (data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as the processing of genetic data, biometric data uniquely identifying an individual, health data, or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation) about you, one of the following legal bases must also be relevant:
- You have given your express consent (Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO).
- The processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person and the data subject is unable to give consent for physical or legal reasons (Art. 9(2)(c) GDPR).
- The processing relates to personal data that you have manifestly made public (Art. 9(2)(e) GDPR).
- The processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (Article 9(2)(f) DSGVO).
- The processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest on the basis of EU law or the law of an EU Member State which is proportionate to the aim pursued, respects the essence of the right to data protection and provides for adequate and specific measures to safeguard your fundamental rights and interests (Article 9(2)(g) GDPR).
2.4
Your personal data will be used for advertising and market research purposes if you have given your prior consent or if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override this.
3. Your rights
3.1
As a data subject, you have the right to request information about the data stored about you and the scope of the data processing and disclosure carried out, and to receive a copy of the personal data stored about you.
3.2
In addition, you have the right to demand the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you and the completion of incomplete personal data stored about you.
3.3
You also have the right to request the immediate deletion of personal data stored about you if the legal requirements are met. Please note that your right of deletion may be subject to restrictions. For example, we do not have to or may not delete data that we are still required to retain due to statutory retention periods. Data that we require for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims are also excluded from your right of deletion.
3.4
You have the right, under certain conditions, to request the restriction of processing (i.e. the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing).
3.5
Please address all requests to us as the responsible body (see legal notice).
3.6
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
4. your right to object
4.1
If we process your personal data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, or for the protection of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of your data on personal grounds. In addition, you have an unrestricted right to object if we process your data for our direct marketing.
4.2
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data. Unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing such data that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or your personal data is used to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
4.3
The objection can be made without any formalities.
5. transfer of your data / export and processing outside the European Economic Area
5.1
Due to the size and complexity of the data processing, it is not possible for us to list each recipient of your personal data individually in this data protection notice, which is why only categories of recipients are generally indicated.
5.2
As a matter of principle, we will only disclose your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the disclosure, or if we have your consent to do so. In addition, data may be transferred to third parties if we are required to do so by law or by enforceable governmental or court order. Third parties to whom we may disclose your personal data, regardless of our performance of services, include:
- Booked service providers such as tour operators, airlines, rental car providers, hotels, visa service providers, insurance companies, etc.
- External consultants (e.g. lawyers, tax consultants, auditors),
- Authorities within the scope of their competence (e.g. tax office, police, public prosecutor’s office), courts,
- other third parties, insofar as you instruct us to pass on data or give your consent.
5.3
Service providers employed by us and acting on our behalf (so-called order processors) may also receive data for these purposes. For example, when booking via providers of tourist booking systems, such as Amadeus Germany GmbH or Schmetterling International GmbH Co. KG, your booking data may be passed on to them so that they transmit the booking to the booked service provider, e.g. tour operator. Service providers may also be commissioned to provide server capacity.
5.4
Your personal data is exported to countries outside the European Economic Area if the transfer of the data to third parties located in third countries is necessary, e.g. for the fulfillment of a contract (Art. 49 DSGVO) or due to official or national legal requirements. For example, when traveling to the USA, government authorities such as the Department of Homeland and Security receive your passenger data via the booked airline.
II. changes in the purpose of processing and use of data
As the processing methods used may change/develop due to technical progress and organizational changes, we reserve the right to further develop this data protection information in accordance with the new technical and organizational framework conditions. We therefore ask you to check the data protection information from time to time. The new data protection information will then apply to your next visit to us or our websites.
B. Special for our website
1. Booking systems and links
1. booking systems (“IBE”)
1.1
Our company’s website, but also the IBEs integrated on our site, e.g. via iFrame, collect a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website / the integrated IBE. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the servers used. The following can be recorded
- browser types and versions used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
- the subInternet pages that are accessed via an accessing system on our Internet site,
- the date and time of an access to the website,
- an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
- other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
1.2
When using these general data and information, our company does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather required in order to
- to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
- to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
- to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
- to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
1.3
This data and information, which we collect anonymously or pseudonymously, is therefore evaluated by our company on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
1.4
The transmission of sensitive, personal data between your computer and our servers or the servers of our partners and service providers is encrypted via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for bookings and payments. In addition to the secure transmission between your computer and our servers, access to our servers by third parties is also protected by various security mechanisms.
1.5
In addition, we have implemented organizational and technical safeguards, which we evaluate on an ongoing basis and adapt as necessary, to protect your personal data that we store and process.
2. links to other internet pages
We use external links on our website and point out that we have no influence on the content and design of these pages of other providers. This data protection information therefore does not apply to linked websites of other providers.
II. use of cookies
1. general information about cookies
We use so-called “cookies” to customize and optimize the online experience and online time of our customers. 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 called up so far. Cookies are not used to run programs or download viruses onto your computer. The main purpose of cookies is rather to provide an offer tailored specifically to the customer and to make the use of the service as convenient as possible.
2. avoidance of cookies
The visitor has the option to refuse the setting of cookies at any time. This is usually done by selecting the appropriate option in the browser settings or through additional programs. More details 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 services and may have a negative impact on the use of the services of the responsible.
III. Newsletter and newsletter tracking / contact form and guestbook
1. our newsletter
1.1
On our company’s website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted when ordering the newsletter, results from the input mask used for this purpose.
1.2
Our company informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers of the company. The newsletter of our company can be received by you as a data subject in principle only if
- you as the data subject have a valid e-mail address and
- you have registered for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to you as the data subject using the double opt-in method. This confirmation email serves to verify whether you are the owner of the email address and have therefore authorized the receipt of the newsletter as a data subject.
1.3
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal safeguarding of the controller.
1.4
The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail 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 in the technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter mailing can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the website of the controller at any time or to notify the controller of this in another way.
2. our contact form
2.1
On our company’s website, you are also given the option of contacting us via a so-called contact form, e.g. to request a travel offer. Which personal data is transmitted for this contact request, results from the input mask used for this purpose. The data you provide will only be used for the purpose of contacting you. A further use does not take place, unless there is a further consent by you.
2.2
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively for the purpose of responding to your contact request.
IV. Use of other third-party programs and social media on our website
We conduct analyses of the behavior of our customers in the context of the use of our service or have them conducted. For this purpose, anonymized or pseudonymized usage profiles are created for the most part. The usage profiles are created for the sole purpose of constantly improving our service.
Furthermore, we use functionalities of social networks.
1. use of Google Analytics with anonymization function
1.1
We use the Google Analytics component on this website. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is predominantly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
1.2
We use the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages is from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
1.3
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to 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 showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
1.4
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. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the 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 caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission calculations.
1.5
By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
1.6
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
1.7
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add- on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within the data subject’s sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
1.8
Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html.
2. use of Google Adwords conversion tracking
2.1
The website uses the online web program Google AdWords and, as part of Google AdWords, conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you call up an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. This enables Google to recognize when users call up a Google ad and are thereby redirected to the website. The cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.
2.2
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information generated by the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. This is information about numbers of web page views and redirects.
2.3
To prevent tracking, the uninstallation of cookies can be prevented by a setting in the browser software (deactivation). The data will then accordingly 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/
3. use of the Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager on this website. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The operating company of Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.
4. use of Google Maps
We use the Google Maps API on this website to visually display geographical information. The operating company of Google Maps is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data on the use of the Maps functions by visitors to the website. For more information on data processing by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy, which can be found at www.google.com/privacypolicy.html
5. use Facebook
5.1
We have integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller of personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
5.2
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by us and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
5.3
If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
5.4
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.
5.5
The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de- de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
6. use of the conversion pixel from Facebook
6.1
We use the “conversion pixel” or visitor action pixel of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). By calling up this pixel from your browser, Facebook can subsequently recognize whether a Facebook ad was successful, e.g. led to an online purchase. We only receive statistical data from Facebook for this purpose without any reference to a specific person. This allows us to record the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. In particular, if you are registered with Facebook, we refer you to their data protection information.
6.2
Please go to www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads if you wish to withdraw your consent to Conversion Pixel.
7. use of Facebook Custom Audiences Pixel
We use the “Custom Audiences Pixel” of Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”) on our website. This serves the purpose of presenting interest-based advertisements to visitors to our website as part of their visit to the social network Facebook. For this purpose, a pixel from Facebook has been implemented on our website. Via this pixel, a direct connection to the Facebook servers is established when visiting our website. In the process, it is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited our website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. For more information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can object to interest-based advertising on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_=_. To do so, you must be logged in to Facebook. You can also object to the Custom Audience Pixel by clicking on it.
8. use of Twitter
8.1
We use components of Twitter on this website. The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. Twitter is a multilingual publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and distribute so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 140 characters. These short messages can be accessed by anyone, including people who are not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow the tweets of a user. Twitter also enables a broad audience to be reached via hashtags, links and retweets.
8.2
Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by us is called up and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on the Twitter buttons can be found at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Twitter receives knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to disseminate the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world and to increase our visitor numbers.
8.3
If the data subject is logged in to Twitter at the same time, Twitter recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted will be assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter.
8.4
Twitter always receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Twitter at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Twitter component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Twitter, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Twitter account before accessing our website.
