Legal Information

We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest in our company. The protection of personal data is a matter of great importance to us. In general, you can use our website without providing any personal data. However, if a user wishes to take advantage of specific services offered by the company through this website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The contact information of the data controllers required for this purpose can be found at the end of this Privacy Policy. The processing of personal data (name, address, email address, or phone number) of a user of this website is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and applicable national data protection laws. In this Privacy Policy, Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG publicly discloses the nature, purpose, and scope of the personal data it processes. In addition, this Privacy Policy informs data subjects of their rights.

This Privacy Policy uses the following terms, which were defined when the EU General Data Protection Regulation was enacted. To keep the Privacy Policy simple and easy to understand, these terms are explained here.

Personal data—as defined in Article 4(1) of the GDPR—is:

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more specific characteristics that reflect the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

Data Subject

Any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

Processing—as defined in Article 4(2) of the GDPR:

Any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution, or any other form of disclosure, the matching or linking, the restriction, erasure, or destruction.

Restriction of Processing

Marking stored personal data for the purpose of restricting its future processing.

Profiling—as defined in Article 4(4) of the GDPR:

Any form of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

Pseudonymization

The processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

The data controller, pursuant to Article 4(7) of the GDPR, is:

The natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

Recipient

A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether or not that entity is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigative mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.

Third

A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

Data processor—as defined in Article 4(8) of the GDPR:

A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other entity that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Consent—as defined in Article 4(11) of the GDPR:

Any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, expressed in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action, by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Registration on our website

The data subject has the option to register on the data controller’s website by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller in this process is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the transfer of such data to one or more processors, such as a mailing service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.

Furthermore, when a user registers on the data controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the user’s Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services, and, if necessary, this data enables us to investigate criminal offenses that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. As a general rule, this data is not disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purposes of criminal prosecution.

The data subject’s registration, which involves the voluntary provision of personal data, enables the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, by their very nature, can only be provided to registered users. Registered users are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller’s database. Upon request, the data controller will provide any data subject with information at any time regarding which personal data has been stored about them. Furthermore, the data controller will correct or delete personal data at the request or upon notification by the data subject, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this. All employees of the data controller are available to the data subject as points of contact in this regard.

Web Hosting

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Germany GmbH

38 Krausenstr.

10117 Berlin

Germany

The Amazon Web Services servers used to store the data are located in Frankfurt am Main, within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, and are subject to the data protection laws of both national and European authorities. Amazon Web Services also handles your data in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. The Amazon Web Services Privacy Policy can be accessed at the following link:

Execution of a Data Processing Agreement

To ensure that data is processed in compliance with data protection regulations, we have entered into a data processing agreement with our hosting provider.

Subscribe to our newsletter

Our website offers users the opportunity to subscribe to our hotel’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input form used for this purpose. Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company’s offers via a newsletter. In general, the data subject can only receive our company’s newsletter if

the data subject has a valid email address and
the data subject signs up to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent via the double opt-in process to the email address that a data subject first provided to subscribe to the newsletter. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When you subscribe to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace any (potential) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected when subscribing to the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be notified by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration purposes, such as in the event of changes to the newsletter content or technical modifications. Personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be disclosed to third parties. The data subject may cancel their subscription to our newsletter at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has provided to us for the purpose of sending the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. A link for revoking consent is included in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the data controller’s website or to notify the data controller of this in another manner.

Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters from Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG contain so-called web beacons. A web beacon is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows for a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded web beacon, Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the email were clicked by the data subject. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize newsletter distribution and to tailor the content of future newsletters even better to the data subject’s interests. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent provided in this regard via the double opt-in procedure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Following revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. The controller automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as a revocation of consent.

Inquiries by email, phone, or fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, we will store and process your inquiry—including all personal data contained therein (name, inquiry)—for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Data Transfer from Forms

The data subject has the option of registering on the data controller’s website to submit personal data via forms. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller in this process is determined by the respective input form used for the entries. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. Data transmission via forms is always encrypted.

The data controller may arrange for the transfer of personal data to one or more data processors (such as a package delivery service), who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.

When data is transmitted via the data controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of the transmission, are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of the services offered, and this data enables the investigation of criminal offenses and copyright infringements if necessary. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. As a general rule, this data is not disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purposes of criminal or civil prosecution.

The data subject’s voluntary submission of personal data enables the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, by their very nature, can only be provided to these users. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

Contact

Personal data is also processed by Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG if you voluntarily provide it. This occurs, for example, every time you contact us. We will, of course, use the personal data transmitted in this manner exclusively for the purpose for which you provided it to us when you contacted us. The provision of this information is expressly voluntary and requires your consent. To the extent that this information pertains to communication channels (such as an email address or phone number), you also consent to us contacting you via that communication channel, if necessary, to address your inquiry.

Internet Booking Engine / bookNG Booking System

On our website, you have the option to make a reservation through bookNG. The booking engine is a service provided by Next Gen Opti Ltd., Unit 4 Langham Barn Business Center, which allows you to make reservations. When you click the corresponding button, a form will open where you can enter your reservation details. Next Gen Opti Ltd. processes the data you enter on our behalf. This may include the following information: first and last name, credit card information, address, phone numbers, and date of birth.

Your personal data will then be used to process your reservation and will be deleted once the legally required retention periods have expired.

We receive anonymized, aggregated statistical data from Next Gen Opti Ltd.—such as country statistics, agency reports, and sales reports—which we use to improve our offerings. Our use of Next Gen Opti Ltd. is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, as well as on the subsequent fulfillment of your reservation pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Privacy Policy Regarding the Use of YouTube

The controller has integrated YouTube components into this website. YouTube is an online video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips for free and enables other users to view, rate, and comment on them—also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete movies and TV shows, as well as music videos, trailers, and user-generated videos, are available via the website.

YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website—which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated—the web browser on the data subject’s computer is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of that YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube is available at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/ . As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google are informed of which specific subpage of our website is being visited by the data subject.

If the user is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube can determine which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting when the user accesses a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the user’s respective YouTube account.

YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not wish for this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ , provide information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Sharing Data with Payment Providers

Your data is transmitted exclusively via secure SSL encryption to the payment provider you selected during the ordering process for the purpose of processing your payment. The transmission of your data to the payment provider is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (consent) and Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (processing necessary for the performance of a contract). You have the option to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. Withdrawal does not affect past data processing operations.

Payment by Visa, Mastercard, American Express

If you pay by credit card, the payment is processed by the payment service provider Concardis GmbH, Helfmann-Park 7, 65760 Eschborn, Germany. The necessary data (card number, expiration date, and security code) is transmitted to the payment service provider in encrypted form and is not visible to the website operator. The electronic credit card payment method is PCI-DSS certified and offers customers the highest possible level of data security.

Links to Other Websites

This website contains links to other websites (so-called external links). As the provider of its own content, Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for that content in accordance with applicable European and national laws. A distinction must be made between this own content and links to content provided by other providers. We have no control over whether the operators of other websites comply with applicable European and national legal provisions. Please refer to the privacy policies provided on the respective websites for more information. Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG assumes no responsibility for third-party content made available via links and specifically marked as such, and does not endorse such content. The provider of the website to which the link refers is solely liable for any illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content, as well as for any damages resulting from the use or non-use of the information.

Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG collects a range of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be collected:

types and versions of browsers used,
the operating system used by the accessing system,
the website from which a connecting system accesses our website (known as a "referrer"),
the subpages accessed via a connecting system on our website,
the date and time of a visit to the website,
an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
other similar data and information that serve to protect against threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to

to deliver the content of our website accurately,
to optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
to ensure the continued functionality of our information technology systems and the technology underlying our website, as well as
to provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

This data and information, collected anonymously, is therefore evaluated by Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG, on the one hand, for statistical purposes and, on the other hand, to ensure data protection and the security of the processed personal data. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores the data subject’s personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or to the extent provided for by the European legislative bodies or other legislative bodies in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a retention period prescribed by the European legislative and regulatory authorities or another competent legislative authority expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

Rights of the Data Subject

Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right, granted by European legislation, to request confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

Right to Information

Every data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored regarding him or her, as well as a copy of that information. Furthermore, European legislation grants the data subject the right to obtain the following information:

the categories of personal data that are processed

if possible, the planned period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of a right to have personal data concerning them rectified or erased, or to have the processing restricted by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority • if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information regarding the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR; and—at least in such cases—meaningful information regarding the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing on the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to receive information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact a representative of the controller at any time.

Right to Correction

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data—including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact a representative of the controller at any time.

Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to request that the controller erase the personal data concerning him or her without delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary:

The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data was processed unlawfully.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in connection with information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If any of the reasons listed above apply and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time. The representative of Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with without delay.

If personal data has been made public by Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG and our company, as the controller, is obligated under Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG shall take appropriate measures, taking into account the available technology and the costs of implementation, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers who process the disclosed personal data that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to such personal data or any copies or replicas thereof, provided that the processing is not necessary. The employee of Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.

Right to Restriction of Processing

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to request that the controller restrict the processing if any of the following conditions are met:

The data subject disputes the accuracy of the personal data for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful; the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted.
The data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate interests outweigh those of the data subject.
If any of the above conditions are met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time. The representative of Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG will arrange for the restriction of processing.

Right to Data Portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to receive the personal data concerning them—which the data subject has provided to a controller—in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. The data subject also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have their personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, provided that this is technically feasible and does not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact a representative of Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG at any time.

Right to Object

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling, to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG regarding the processing for direct marketing purposes, Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her that is carried out by Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG or another employee directly. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object through automated means using technical specifications.

Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European legislation, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects the data subject, provided that the decision

is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
is permitted under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and such law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject; or
is carried out with the explicit consent of the data subject.

Is the decision

necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
it is carried out with the explicit consent of the data subject,

Strandhotel Zingst Darß GmbH & Co. KG shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of the data subject, including, at a minimum, the right to request that the controller involve a person, to state one’s own position, and to challenge the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights related to automated decision-making, he or she may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

Right to Withdraw Consent Under Data Protection Law

Every data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

Privacy Policy Regarding the Use of Facebook (Meta)

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”). The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (a black “f” on a white background with a black circular border) or are labeled “Facebook Social Plugin.”

When a user accesses a feature of this online service that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The legal basis for the use of Facebook is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

The plugin's content is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device and integrated into the online service. User profiles may be created based on the processed data. We therefore have no control over the scope of the data that Facebook collects using this plugin and are providing this information to users based on our current understanding.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online service. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with the user’s Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins—for example, by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment—the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a Facebook member, there is still a possibility that Facebook may obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

Users can find information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of data by Facebook, and their related rights and privacy settings, in Facebook’s Privacy Policy.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them through this online service and link it to their membership data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook and delete their cookies before using our online service. Additional settings and opt-outs regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are available in the profile settings. These settings apply across all platforms, meaning they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Privacy Policy Regarding the Use of Instagram (Meta)

Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network Instagram, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”). The plugins can be recognized, for example, by a stylized camera icon. When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Meta’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Meta to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Meta receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Meta server and stored there.

If you are logged into Instagram, Meta can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. When you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Meta server and stored there. The information is also published on Instagram and displayed there to your contacts.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as Meta’s further processing and use of the data, and your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to Instagram’s Privacy Policy at the following link: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy

The legal basis for the use of Instagram (Meta Platforms) is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

If you do not want Meta to directly associate the data collected through our website with your Instagram profile, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Instagram plugins from loading by using browser add-ons, such as a script blocker.

Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing activities in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party—as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration—then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data—such as to fulfill tax obligations—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and, as a result, their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, provided that the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject take precedence. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).

Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

Period for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of personal data storage is the applicable statutory retention period. Once this period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract.

Legal or contractual requirements regarding the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; the data subject’s obligation to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is, in some cases, required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract; whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data; and what the consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be.

Existence of Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
