Furthermore, a transfer to entities in third countries is provided in individual cases, where necessary, in order to pass on personal data to IT service providers or payment service providers in the U.S., or to another third country in order to ensure IT operations. This occurs in compliance with the European privacy policy standards.

3. Data collection and data processing on our website

General information

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

If you use this website, various pieces of personal data will be collected. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. via email communication) may be subject to security breaches. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock icon is displayed in your browser's address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Some of our websites use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website. The cookies will remain saved on your terminal until you delete them.

Cookie categories

Our cookies can be divided into the four following categories. Please note that cookies can belong to more than one category.

Necessary: Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Functional: Functional cookies are used to store information that has already been entered (such as name, language selection or where you are located) and to offer the visitor improved, more personalised functions. During this process, plug-ins can be loaded and information can be transferred.

Statistics: Statistics cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

Marketing: Marketing cookies are used to follow visitors around websites. The intention is to show ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and are therefore more valuable to publishers and advertising third parties.

Agree

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in "server log files". These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address
These data will generally not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

IP anonymisation

When visiting our website, your IP address is displayed in abbreviated form. We use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website and Internet use. The transmitted IP address is only processed for the duration of the website visit and is not stored.

Google reCaptcha

In order to protect your data and to secure the transmission of forms, in particular in the context of contest participation, we use Google reCaptcha, a service of Google LLC ("Google"), on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes described. In this context, an analysis of various information is used to determine whether the data entry is made by a human or by an automated programme. The information generated is transferred to a Google server in the U.S. and processed there. The collection and analysis do not enable us or Google to identify you. In particular, Google will not associate the information with any personal data about you.Further information about Google reCaptcha can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en or https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

3.2 Advertising

Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.

E-mail distribution via Episerver (Optimizely)

Newsletter

With the following information, we will be informing you about the content of our newsletter as well as the sign up process, distribution process, statistical analysis process, and your right to objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to reception and the aforementioned processes.

Content of the Newsletter

We only send newsletters and e-mails with advertising information (hereafter “newsletter“) with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission. Insofar as the content of a newsletter is concretely described in the context of an application for the newsletter, these are decisive for the consent of the user. Besides that, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, deals, and company.

Double-Opt-In and Recording

Signing up for our newsletter occurs via a so-called “Double-Opt-In” procedure. This means that once you finish signing up, you will receive an e-mail which prompts you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is mandatory in order to prevent others from signing up with third-party e-mail addresses. Newsletter registrations will be recorded in order to demonstrate the corresponding legal requirements for the registration process. This includes the storage of both the registration and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data that is saved with your service provider will also be recorded.

Service Provider

The newsletter is sent using Episerver Gmbh (Optimizly), an e-mail marketing software of the provider Episerver GmbH, Wallstraße 16, 10179 Berlin. You can view the data protection provisions of the dispatch service provider here: https://www.optimizely.com/legal/privacy-policy/.

Furthermore, according to its own information, Episerver may use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, Episerver (Optimizly) does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them on its own or to pass it on to third parties.

Registration Data

In order to sign up for the newsletter, you only have to provide us with your e-mail address. You also have the option to provide your first and last name as well as your preferred title. These entries will solely be used for the personalisation of your newsletter, in which we adjust the content of the newsletter to fit the interests of the reader.

Performance Measurement

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the dispatch service provider Episerver (Optimizly) when the newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. Statistical compilation also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The dispatch of the newsletter and the measurement of its success are based on the consent of the recipients according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 No. 3 UWG (Act Against Unfair Competition) or on the basis of the legal permission according to § 7 para. 3 UWG.

The logging of the registration process takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter.

Online Activity and Data Management

There are cases in which we direct the newsletter recipients to the websites of the dispatch service provider. For example, our newsletters contain a link that newsletter recipients can use to access the newsletters online (for example, in the event of display problems in the e-mail). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct or add to their data, such as that of their e-mail address. Likewise, the data protection policy of the dispatch service provider can only be accessed on their website. In this context, we would like to point out that cookies are used on the websites of Episerver (Optimizly) and that personal data is thus processed by the dispatch service provider, their partners and the service providers used (Google Analytics, for example). We have no influence over this data collection. Further information can be found in the privacy policy of Episerver (Optimizly). We would also like to draw your attention to the options for objecting to the collection of data for advertising purposes on the websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European area).

Cancellation/Withdrawal

You can, at any time, cancel your subscription i.e. withdrawal your consent. A link to newsletter cancellation can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. After completing cancellation, all of your data, excluding your e-mail address, will be deleted. Your e-mail address will be specifically saved to a blocking list and will only be used for the sole purpose of making sure that we no longer send e-mails to your e-mail address.

Completion of a Contract regarding Contract Data Processing

We have entered into a contract with Episerver (Optimizely) for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Episerver (Optimizely).

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your end device is sent to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized and deleted after 90 days. In addition, Facebook stores information about its users' end devices (e.g. as part of the "registration notification" function); Facebook may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users.

After a possible login, you are once again recognized by Facebook as a specific user.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6, Para. 1, Sent. 1(f) GDPR.

Facebook Pixel/Facebook Remarketing

Our website measures conversions using visitor action pixels from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, should you be located in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

These allow the behaviour of site visitors to be tracked after they click on a Facebook ad to reach the provider's website. This allows an analysis of the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and their future optimization.

The Facebook pixel is immediately embedded via Facebook when visiting our website and can store a so-called “cookie” - a small file - on your device. When you subsequently log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while logged in, the visit to our website is noted in your profile. The data about you that is retrieved is anonymous to us, meaning we cannot make conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data from Facebook is stored and processed so that a connection to the particular user profile is possible. The processing of data via Facebook occurs within the conditions of Facebook’s data use policy and cannot be influenced by us as a website operator. You will therefore find further information about the functionalities of the remarketing pixel and about the presentation of Facebook ads overall in the Facebook data use policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

The legal basis for the processing of the user’s personalised data is Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. f GDPR.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to assign the visitors of our website to a target group for the presentation of Facebook ads. Therefore, we use the Facebook pixel in order to show our Facebook ads only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our Internet offers. That means that with the help of the Facebook pixel, we ensure that our Facebook ads correspond with the potential interests of the user and do not come across as annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also comprehend the effectiveness of the Facebook advertisements for statistical and marketing purposes in that we see whether or not a user was redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement.

You can refuse the collection of your data from the Facebook pixel and the use of your data for the presentation of Facebook ads. You can view the Facebook-specific page about this and learn more about the settings for user-based advertisements: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or refuse via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, meaning that they will be applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function for advertisements in the settings via https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged into Facebook in order to do this.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

As part of Google Ads, we use so-called "conversion tracking". When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, we, along with Google, can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an Ads customer. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, customers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can easily opt-out of this by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of conversion cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Google Remarketing (Google Ads and Analytics)

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing combined with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and DoubleClick. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature makes it possible to link target audiences for promotional marketing created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows advertising to be displayed based on your personal interests, identified based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), on other devices (such as a tablet or computer).

Once you have given your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. That way, any device that signs in to your Google Account can use the same personalized promotional messaging.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad promotion.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google Account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account data is based solely on your consent, which you may give or withdraw from Google per Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. For data collection operations not merged into your Google Account (for example, because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merge), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing anonymous user behavior for promotional purposes.

The pseudonymized hash value of the e-mail address will be used by Sovendus when considering a possible existing opposition to advertisements (Art. 21 Sec.3, Art. 6 Sec.1 c GDPR). The IP address will be used solely for data security purposes and, as a general rule, will be anonymized after seven days (Art. 6 Sec.1 f GDPR). Furthermore, we will transfer a pseudonymized order number, order value with currency, session ID, voucher code, and time stamp to Sovendus for billing purposes (Art. 6 Sec.1 f GDPR). Should you be interested in a voucher deal from Sovendus after completing your travel booking and therefore click on the voucher banner that is exclusively displayed at that time, and should there be no opposition to advertisements present, we will transfer your encrypted title, name, and e-mail address to Sovendus in preparation for the voucher (Art. 6 Sec.1 b, f GDPR).

We collect, process, and use personal data provided while making use of our website (usage data) only when they are necessary to allow the user to make use of the services or to invoice them.

Data transfer of personal data upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content

We transfer personal data to third parties only when it is necessary in order to execute a contract, such as transferring data to lift offices or accommodations, as well as to Stripe, the payment solution provider (PSP) responsible for payment processing.

No further transfer of the data takes place unless you have expressly approved such a transfer. The transferring of your data to a third party e.g. for advertising purposes will not take place without your approval.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6, Section 1 (b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Encrypted payments on this website

If you enter into a contract which requires you to send us your payment information (e.g. account number for direct debits), we will require this data to process your payment.

Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are only made via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock icon in your browser line is visible.

In the case of encrypted communication, any payment details you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Further information about data protection with Stripe can be found at https://stripe.com/de/terms.

Stripe is certified in accordance with PCI DSS. Stripe transfers, processes, and stores personal data outside of the EU where necessary.
