I. General information on data processing

1. Scope of personal data processing

The controller collects and uses personal data of its users (hereinafter also referred to as “data subject”, “data subject” or “visitor”) only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and to present the content and services. The collection and processing of users’ personal data for other purposes is usually only carried out with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons, the processing is carried out on the basis of pre-contractual or contractual measures, the processing of the data is permitted by law and/or there is a legitimate interest of the controller in the processing.

Your personal data is generally collected directly from you, e.g. when you contact us, consent to services on this site or use forms on this website. In addition, technical data that is absolutely necessary for the operation of the site is automatically collected when you enter the site.

2. Legal basis for processing personal data

To the extent that the controller obtains the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. If special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR, Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR applies as the legal basis. For any transfer to a non-secure third country by means of consent, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your device, data processing is also carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

In the case of the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Ifthe person is the contact person of a (potential) business partner (customer, supplier, partner), the legal basis for (pre-)contractual measures is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and duration of processing

If no exact storage period has been specified in this data protection information, the personal data of our site visitors will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, or a consent given by the data subject is revoked, or the processing is objected to. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

4. Data transfer to a third country or an international organization

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that the transfer of personal data that is already being processed or is to be processed after its transfer to a third country or an international organisation is only permissible if a level of data protection comparable to the requirements of the GDPR is guaranteed. If it is ensured that the provisions of the GDPR are complied with – this may include, for example, the existence of an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (1) and (3) GDPR or the introduction of internal data protection regulations approved by a supervisory authority (so-called “appropriate safeguards”, Art. 46 (2), (3) GDPR). If there is no level of data protection comparable to the requirements of the GDPR, there may be risks associated with processing in a third country.

Risks of a transfer to a non-secure third country: Personal data could possibly be passed on by the provider to other third parties who use the data, e.g. for advertising purposes, beyond the actual purpose of fulfilling the order. In addition, an effective enforcement of any rights of data subjects against the provider is unlikely to be possible. There may be. a higher probability that incorrect data processing may occur, as the technical and organizational measures of the provider for the protection of personal data do not fully comply with the requirements of the GDPR in terms of quantity and quality. It is also possible for government agencies to access the personal data provided without the data subject being aware of it. In principle, this also corresponds to the European legal regulations, e.g. for the purpose of averting danger. However, the permissibility threshold for such data processing is higher in the European Union than in the country of the data recipient concerned. In summary, there is no level of data protection comparable to the requirements of the GDPR in non-secure third countries.

On our website, we use, among other things, tools from providers whose headquarters or the headquarters of the parent company (or their affiliated companies) are located in a third country from a data protection point of view. We also transfer data to the USA. A transfer of the data to the USA is permissible if the recipient has a certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. The DPF is an (individual) agreement between the European Union and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every DPF-certified company is committed to complying with these data protection standards. The list of certified companies can be found at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list. There you can search for the provider name and view the certification directly. If data is transmitted to a provider that is certified according to the DPF, a separate notice can be found at the respective service provider.

In addition, tools from other providers from third countries and US providers that are not certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) are also used on our site. The transfer and processing of personal data of data subjects in connection with these tools takes place under the conditions of Art. 49 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR – on the basis of consent given by the data subject. If data is transmitted on the basis of consent to a provider whose processing takes place in a non-secure third country, a separate notice can be found at the respective service provider.

If data is transferred to a third country or an international organisation, we will inform you of this by means of a separate notice in this data protection information at the time of the respective processing.

5. Recipients of personal data

Within our organisation, access to your personal data is generally granted to those departments and departments that need it in the context of our activities and for the purposes described in each case and that are authorised to process this data.

As part of our service provision, we commission processors who contribute to the fulfilment of contractual obligations. We work together with service providers, such as service providers for IT maintenance services, video conferencing tools or newsletter dispatch (so-called processors). These service providers only act according to our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection requirements. To this end, we conclude corresponding order processing agreements with these service providers in writing. If certain processors are used to process personal data, we will inform you of this by means of a separate notice in this data protection information at the time of the respective processing.

We may transmit personal data to courts, supervisory authorities or law firms insofar as there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR or is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that our data subjects have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of the data.

6. Necessity of providing personal data

The provision of your personal data is generally neither required by law nor by contract. There is no obligation to make it available. However, failure to provide them may result in you not being able to make use of functions, services, forms and other processing on our website. We recommend that you only provide personal data that, for example, are necessary to process your request, to carry out your desired offer and to use the functions we offer. If the provision of your personal data is required by law or contract, we will inform you of this by means of a separate notice in this data protection information during the respective processing.

The collection of technical data (and possibly the recording of your IP address as personal data) for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website and takes place automatically when you enter this website. If you do not wish this, then you must leave this page.

II. Rights of the data subject

If we process your personal data, you as a data subject have the following rights vis-à-vis us as the controller:

1. Right to information, Art. 15 GDPR

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to (free of charge) information about your collected and stored personal data at any time. This includes, among other things, information about their processing purposes, their origin and recipients, the storage period and the existence of various rights.

2. Right to rectification, Art. 16 GDPR

You have the right to have your data corrected (also in the sense of completion) if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete for the purpose of the processing. The controller must make the correction without delay.

3. Right to erasure, Art. 17 GDPR

Under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you can request the deletion of your personal data at any time, unless circumstances still apply that entitle or oblige the controller to continue processing your personal data (such as statutory retention obligations).

4. Right to restriction of processing, Art. 18 GDPR

If the legal requirements are met, you can request a restriction of the processing of your personal data within the scope of Art. 18 GDPR.

5. Right to information, Art. 19 GDPR

If your personal data has been processed by recipients to whom the Controller has disclosed the data, the Controller is obliged to inform them of your requests for rectification, deletion or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You can request that the controller inform you about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR

If you have provided us with personal data, and if automated processing is carried out on the basis of your consent or on the basis of a contract, you have a right to transfer the data you have provided within the scope of Art. 20 GDPR, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. It is provided in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

7. Right to object, Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time, provided that the processing is carried out on the basis of a balancing of interests. This is the case if the controller invokes the public interest or its legitimate interest for processing (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit e and f). The prerequisite is that you assert reasons arising from your particular situation that outweigh the interest of the controller. The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR contains a special, deviating regulation if the personal data concerning you  is used for direct marketing. Here you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time without further conditions. The personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing. If profiling is associated with direct advertising, you can also object to it.

You have the possibility to exercise your right to object in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8. Automated decision in individual cases, Art. 22 GDPR

In accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right that decisions that produce legal effects against you or similarly affect you are not based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling. Exceptions may exist if appropriate measures are taken to protect your person, and there are necessary contractual arrangements or legal provisions, or if you have given your express consent.

9. Right to withdraw your consent, Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. You can send the revocation to the controller by e-mail or by post.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. If you are in another federal state or not in Germany, you can

III. SSL/TLS encryption

This concerns the processing of the data in relation to the query by means of a registration form at check-in. This processing is bindingly prescribed by § 29 (1) sentence 1 in conjunction with § 30 (2) and (4) of the Federal Registration Act. In addition, we are subject to various legal obligations, i.e. legal requirements (e.g. commercial law, tax laws, etc.: retention of billing data in particular according to § 147 para. 3 AO or § 257 para. 4 HGB). Insofar as data is processed in this regard, this is done exclusively on the basis of these regulations.

The data is also processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The controller has legitimate interests that he wants to protect, these are, among other things

  • General communication with business partners about services
  • Measures for the optimization of our business processes, such as the management of a hotel management system
  • Improvement of business management and further development of services
  • Testing and optimization of needs analyses
  • Assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes
  • Ensuring IT security and IT operations
  • Prevention and investigation of crimes

Further processing of data may take place if the guest has consented as a legal basis in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR.

3. Duration of processing and storage, possibility of objection, revocation and removal

The data provided by you will be processed for as long as it is necessary to achieve the contractually agreed purpose, in principle as long as the contractual relationship with you (or your employer or similar third party) exists. The data will therefore be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the performance of the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, there may be a need to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

After the termination of the contractual relationship, the data provided by you will therefore be processed to comply with statutory retention obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests.

Your personal data processed on the basis of your consent will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply or you revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data by us. You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before the revocation. You can send the revocation to the controller by e-mail or by post. After the purpose has ceased to exist or your revocation or withdrawal of your consent, the data provided by you will be processed to comply with statutory retention obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests.

Expected deadlines of the legal requirements, retention obligations and our legitimate interests:

  • 10 years in accordance with legal obligations to provide evidence (commercial law or tax law) for invoice and booking data
  • 12 months according to BMG for registration forms of foreign guests
  • 3 years for check-in dates and other data without invoice reference (limitation period according to § 195 BGB)

These service providers only act according to our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection requirements. To this end, we conclude corresponding order processing agreements with these service providers in writing.

We may transmit personal data to courts, registration authorities, supervisory authorities or law firms if there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR or is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that our guests have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of the data.

5. Data transfer to a third country or an international organization

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that the transfer of personal data that is already being processed or is to be processed after its transfer to a third country or an international organisation is only permissible if a level of data protection comparable to the requirements of the GDPR is guaranteed. If it is ensured that the provisions of the GDPR are complied with – this may include, for example, the existence of an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (1) and (3) GDPR or the introduction of internal data protection regulations approved by a supervisory authority (so-called “appropriate safeguards”, Art. 46 (2), (3) GDPR).

Through the use of our service providers for administration and booking systems and their subcontracting of other service providers, we also transfer data to a third country, namely the USA. Through contractual measures with our processors and requirements for subcontracting them to other service providers, we ensure that your data remains secure even if it is transmitted and that we can protect your rights as a data subject. A transfer of the data to the USA is permissible if the recipient has a certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. The DPF is an (individual) agreement between the European Union and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every DPF-certified company is committed to complying with these data protection standards.

There will be no further, targeted transfer of the data you have provided to a third country or an international organisation. If, in individual cases, you wish to have the data you have provided transmitted to a third country or an international organisation, we will only do this with your written consent.
