1. An overview of data protection

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We only collect and use personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services.
The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the user’s consent.
An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU Data Protection Ordinance (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply.
Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible 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 fulfilment of a contract.

II. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Beschreibung und Umfang der Datenverarbeitung

Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:

  1. Browser type and browser version
  2. Operating system used
  3. Referrer URL
  4. Host name of the accessing computer
  5. Time of the server request
  6. IP-address

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer.
For this the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website.
In addition, the data is used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO also lies in these purposes.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after at the latest seven days.
Further storage is possible.
In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. Revocation and removal option

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 exp. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us only for the processing the establishment of contact.
In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is finished.

If personal data of yours is processed, you are affected under DSGVO and you have the following rights against the person responsible:

  2. the categories of personal data being processed;

  7. any available information on the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 DSGVO and – at least in these cases – meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred
to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 DSGVO in connection with the transmission.

2. Right of correction

You have a right of correction and/or completion vis-à-vis the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The person responsible shall make the correction without delay.

3. Right to restrict processing

Under the following conditions, you may request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted:

  1. if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period that enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted;
  3. the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you do need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
  4. if you have filed an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the person responsible outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed – apart from being stored – with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the processing restriction has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the person responsible before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the data controller to delete the personal data relating to you without delay and the controller is obliged to delete this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You revoke your consent, on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You file an objection against the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you file an objection against the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 DSGVO.

b) Information to third parties

If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 DSGVO, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data processors who process the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to cancellation does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

  1. to exercise freedom of expression and information;
  2. for the performance of a legal obligation required for processing under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 DSGVO;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 DSGVO, insofar as the law referred to under a) is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or
  5. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to be informed

If you have exercised your right to have the data controller correct, delete or limit the processing, he/she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
The person responsible shall have the right to be informed of such recipients.

6. Right to data transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the person responsible in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
In addition, you have the right to pass this data on to another person responsible without obstruction by the person responsible to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

  1. processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and
  2. processing is carried out by means of automated methods.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected by this.
The right to transferability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.

7. Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you under Article 6para. 1 lit. e or f of the DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The person responsible no longer processes the personal data concerning you, unless he can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of Information Society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
You can send the revocation by e-mail to the person responsible.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner.
This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,
  2. the legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject is admissible
    and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  3. is made with your express consent.
    However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
    In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the person responsible shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the person responsible, to state his own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or suspect the infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the DSGVO.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 DSGVO.

XVIII. Our social media appearances

1. Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered.
In detail: If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.

2. Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO).

3. Person responsible and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

4. Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage lapses, you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

House Rules

GENERAL HOUSE RULES

Dear Guests,

In order to make your stay at the Hotel Fulda Mitte even more enjoyable, we ask that you read the following house rules and pass them on to everyone travelling with you. Please note the General Terms and Conditions (AGB) of the Hotel Fulda Mitte also apply.

We will gladly send you these as a PDF. For the purposes of maintaining public order and ensuring adherence to the house rules the hotel’s employees are fully authorised to issue instructions to any guest.

Treatment of hotel property

The fixtures and fittings in the hotel rooms, as well as all other furnishings in the entire area of the hotel are to be treated with care. Be advised that any items that you damage must be replaced and that the hotel may invoice you for them.

Smoking and naked flames

Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the hotel and is permitted outside the building only. If any non-permitted smoking triggers a fire alarm or the smoke detectors have been wilfully manipulated, the hotel accepts no liability. Any costs arising as a result through deployment of the fire service or any other emergency services must be immediately settled at the hotel. If guests are found to be smoking in their rooms, a separate cleaning fee of €200 will be charged. Naked flames and the lighting of candles are also not allowed in any hotel rooms, stairwells, corridors or toilets. Be advised that any items that you damage must be replaced and that the hotel may invoice you for them.

Arrival and departure

On the day you arrive, your bedroom will be available to you from 3pm. On the day you leave, your room must be completely vacated by 12 noon. If you have plans for any excursions or meetings at which the luggage you brought with you would be an encumbrance, it is possible to leave at reception. Please note in this regard that the space for storing luggage at reception is limited and that we accept no liability of any kind for any loss or damage to your luggage.

Bedrooms

Our bedrooms are cleaned every day. Please decide for yourself whether you want the towels changed. If so, leave them on the floor. For safety reasons you are not permitted to lean out of the window. The windows may only be opened to ventilate the rooms. Window sills must not be used as seats. Please also do not throw anything out of the windows and adhere to the rules about being quiet at night. Please do not drop any sanitary towels, tampons or other items down the toilet, as they may block the drains. We explicitly reserve the right to claim compensation should these instructions be disregarded and our company is detrimentally affected as a result.

Restaurant facilities

Our hotel has two restaurants offering a varied and comprehensive range of food and drink. Consumption of food or drink that you have brought with you is not allowed in these areas.

Use of the Internet

When using our Wi-Fi Internet access, you must adhere to the provisions of the applicable laws on data protection and on the protection of children and minors. Any and all breaches of these laws must be reported. We have advised you that when using our Internet access it is imperative that you respect the copyright of third parties.

Downloads and uploads via so-called file-sharing networks are in particular not allowed and will lead in the event of any violation of this to the hotel claiming compensation.

Overnight quiet, good behaviour and security

From 10pm, peace and quiet must be maintained in every room, corridor and outside area of our grounds. Failure to keep quiet at night may lead to immediate ejection from the hotel. In this case the guest forfeits their right to accommodation and reimbursement of any charges paid in advance. Notwithstanding this, the guest ejected for failing to keep quiet at night must pay in full for the services booked, even if they were not able to avail themselves of these. We expect other guests, our hotel neighbours and our staff to be treated with respect. If leaving or returning to the hotel after 10pm, all noise of any kind must be avoided out of consideration for our neighbours and other guests.

Anyone not registered on our booking system and brought with them by a guest into the hotel will be allowed entry only after first signing in at reception. We reserve the right in any individual case to deny entry.

Pets

Bringing pets with you requires the consent of the hotel / its staff. You must notify us about your pet in advance. A cleaning fee will be charged.

Bringing pets into the hotel is allowed only on condition that the pets are under the guest’s constant supervision, free of any infectious diseases and also represent no other risks to hotel staff or other guests. Please do not leave your pets in your room on their own when you are away from the hotel. If you do leave your pet alone in your room for a relatively short period, please hang the ‘Do not disturb’ sign on the outside of the door in order to avoid any cleaning staff entering the room during this time. Please feel free to let our staff on reception know when it would be possible to clean the room. Furthermore, dogs must be kept on a lead inside the hotel and on the hotel grounds.

Should the pet become a nuisance, the hotel reserves the right to cancel the guest’s booking.

Illegal drugs and weapons

Bringing in any illegal drugs or weapons is strictly forbidden and will lead to immediate ejection from the hotel. In such situations therelevant authorities will also be informed.

Emergencies

Our fire alarm is a loud warning sound. If this goes off, you are now longer allowed to be in your room. You must leave the hotel as quickly as possible via the clearly marked escape routes. In such an event, use only the stairs and fire escapes. The emergency exits are marked accordingly. You will find evacuation diagrams on the inside of your bedroom door and in the corridors. Please read very thoroughly through the fire prevention instructions put up on every floor and in the event of an emergency keep to the rules and the instructions given by our staff. Changes may be made to these house rules at any time. These can be viewed at reception. We reserve the right to cancel the booking of and stop providing services to any guests who disregard our house rules and through their behaviour cause detriment to our staff, other guests or the hotel.

Thank you for reading and adhering to these rules. If you have any further questions about your stay, we would be pleased to help at any time.

What personal data do we collect and where do we get it from?

  • Master data of the guest (name, first name, address, date of birth, nationality)
  • Where relevant, master data of accompanying persons (surname, first name, date of birth)
  • Invoice data (address)
  • For foreign guests: passport No.
  • Any allergies, intolerances, special requests, etc.

In principle, your personal data is collected directly from you as part of the booking process.
We also receive data from third parties (e.g. tour operators, companies, lists of names at conferences/events, booking portals (e.g. booking.com, hrs.de, hotel.de)).

Purposes and legal bases of the processing

The personal data provided by you will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the European Data Protection Ordinance (DS-GVO) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-new):

On the basis of the hotel booking:

First and foremost, data processing serves to fulfil the reporting obligations. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 b DS-GMO in conjunction with §29 BMG

On the basis of consent (under Art. 6 para. 1 Lit. a DS-GVO)

The purposes of processing personal data result from the granting of consent. Your consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future and any consent granted before the validity of the DS GMO (25 May 2018) may also be revoked. Processing that took place before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Example: Sending a newsletter, exemption from the obligation of professional confidentiality to pass on the data you have provided to third parties (e.g. banks, insurance companies, shareholders, etc.) at your request.

To fulfil contractual obligations (under Art. 6 para. 1 Lit. b DS-GVO)

The purposes of data processing result on the one hand from the introduction of pre-contractual measures, which precede a contractually regulated business relationship and on the other hand from the fulfilment of obligations from the contract concluded with you.

On the basis of legal requirements (under Art. 6 para.1 Lit. c DS-GVO) or in the public interest (under Art. 6 para.1 Lit. e DS-GVO)

The purposes of data processing arise from legal requirements or are in the public interest (e.g. compliance with retention requirements, proof of compliance) of information and information obligations on the part of the tax adviser)

In the context of weighing up interests (under Art. 6 para. 1 Lit. f DS-GVO)

The purposes of the processing result from the protection of our legitimate interests. It may be necessary to process the data provided by you beyond the actual performance of the contract. Our legitimate interest may be used to justify the further processing of the data you provide, provided that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail. Our legitimate interest may be in individual cases: the enforcement of legal claims, defence against liability claims, and prevention of criminal offences.

Who receives the personal data provided by you?

Within our company, those areas receive access to the personal data provided by you, which are necessary for the fulfilment of contractual and legal obligations and which are entitled to process this data.
Within the scope of our services, we commission contractors who contribute to the fulfilment of contractual obligations, e.g. computer centre service providers, EDP partners, document shredders etc. We contractually oblige these contractors to observe professional confidentiality and to comply with the requirements of the DS-GMO and the BDSG-new.

Will the data you provide be transferred to third countries or international organisations?

Under no circumstances will the data you provide be transferred to a third country or an international organisation. Should you wish to transfer the data you have provided to a third country or an international organisation in individual cases, we will only do so with your written consent.

Does automated decision making including profiling occur?

No fully automated decision making (including profiling) according to Art. 22 DS-GMO is used to process the data you provide.

Duration of processing (criteria for deletion)

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 exists. After termination of the contractual relationship, the data provided by you will be processed to comply with legal storage obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests. After expiry of the legal retention periods and/or the end of our legitimate interests, the data provided by you will be deleted.
Expected periods of the storage obligations applicable to us and our legitimate interests:

  • 10 years undee the Tax Law
