There is no legal obligation for you to provide personal data. 

Automated profiling, with the aim of evaluating personal aspects, may occur under certain circumstances. We use these profiling measures in the following cases:

 

Due to legal and regulatory requirements, we are obligated to combat money laundering, terrorist financing and asset endangering crimes. In this context, data evaluations (including comparison with legally prescribed lists) are also carried out.

For online room reservations we use the service OnePageBooking/cBooking of HotelNetSolutions GmbH, Genthiner Straße 8, 10785 Berlin. By clicking on "Book Now" a browser window will open which will redirect you to the website of OnePageBooking/cBooking.

If you want to book a room with us, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need for the processing of your booking. Mandatory data required for the processing of contracts are marked separately, other information is voluntary. The data is entered in an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The following data is collected during the booking process: IP address, date and time of booking, room category and number of persons, travel period, any extras (arrangements, restaurant, equipment, etc.), any comments to the hotel (wishes), title, name of the person booking, name of the traveler (if different from the person booking), address, e-mail address, telephone number, any different billing address, country and credit card data. Data will also be passed on to the relevant payment service providers. Data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or for billing purposes or to collect the fee, or if you have expressly consented to this. In this regard, we only pass on the data required in each case. The data recipients are: the respective delivery/shipping company (disclosure of name and address), collection companies, insofar as the payment must be collected (disclosure of name, address, order details), payment institutions for the purpose of collecting debts, insofar as you have selected direct debit as the payment method, as well as payment service providers - depending on the selection of the payment method.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. With regard to the voluntary data, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. There is an order processing contract between the responsible party and HotelNetSolutions GmbH. The mandatory data collected is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract with the user (for the purpose of providing the goods or services and confirming the content of the contract). We therefore use the data to answer your inquiries, to process your booking, if necessary to check creditworthiness or to collect a debt, and for the purpose of technical administration of the websites. The voluntary information is provided for the prevention of misuse and, if necessary, for the investigation of criminal offences.

 

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years after the execution of the contract. However, we will restrict processing after 6 years, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. If a continuing obligation exists between us and the user, we store the data for the entire term of the contract and for ten years thereafter (see above). With regard to data provided voluntarily, we will delete the data upon expiration of 6 years after execution of the contract, provided that no further contract is concluded with the user during this period; in this case, the data will be deleted upon expiration of 6 years after execution of the last contract.

If the data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion. Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the data stock of the responsible party. With regard to the voluntary data, you can declare the revocation to the responsible person at any time. In this case, the voluntary data will be deleted immediately.

I. GOOGLE ANALYTICS [NR1] 

For the purpose of demand-oriented design and ongoing optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter "Google"). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see under point 4) are used. Through the cookie generated information about your use of this website such as:

 

– Browser type/version

– Operating system used

– Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

– Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)

– Time of the server request

 

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these Internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

 

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

 

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

 

Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation option for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over which data is collected and processed by Google. Should you activate this option, no information about the website visit will be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, activation does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. For more information on the deactivation option provided by Google, as well as how to activate this option, please click on the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

 

II. GOOGLE ADWORDS CONVERSION TRACKING

 

In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In this process, Google Adwords sets a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad.

 

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

 

Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Adwords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The Adwords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

 

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the "www.googleadservices.com" domain.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

This website uses the services of Revinate for sending newsletters. The provider is Revinate Inc, 1 Letterman Dr., Building C, Suite CM100, San Francisco, CA 94129, USA.

Revinate is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g. e-mail address), this data is stored on Revinate's servers in the USA.

With the help of Revinate, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Revinate, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to Revinate's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want any analysis by Revinate, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message.

The data processing is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from Revinate's servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
