TRANSFER OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR,
the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR, as well as
this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

Within the scope of the processing operations described in this Privacy Notice, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly mentioned this in the privacy notice for the service providers concerned. To protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent can serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

ENCRYPTION

This website uses TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your address bar.

If TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Hosting by UD Media

We host our website at UD Media GmbH, Kölner Straße 28, 41812 Erkelenz (hereinafter referred to as web host).

When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g. IP addresses in log files) are processed on the servers by our web host.

The use of our web host is based on Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most steady presentation and provision as well as security of our website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR with our web host. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that our web host only processes the personal data of our website visitors according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

For more information on privacy policies from our web host, please visit: https://udmedia.de/service/datenschutz/.

Server Log Files

Our web space provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files. We collect and store the following data automatically transmitted to us by your browser:

– Browser type and version

– Operating system used

– Referrer URL (website through which you came to us)

– Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)

– Time of the server request

The temporary processing of the IP address by the system is necessary to technically enable delivery of the website to your computer. Processing your IP address for the duration of the session is necessary for this. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

This data is not merged with other data sources. The storage is limited in time and only takes place for optimization and to ensure the security of our IT systems.

Cloudflare

We use the Content Delivery Network (CDN) of Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, c/o Mindspace, 80331 Munich Germany (Cloudflare) to increase the security and delivery speed of our website. This corresponds to our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR). A CDN is a network of [globally] distributed servers that is able to deliver optimized content to the website user. For this purpose, personal data may be processed in server log files by Cloudflare.

Cloudflare is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. This corresponds to our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR not to operate a content delivery network ourselves.

You have the right to object to the processing. Whether the objection is successful is to be determined within the framework of a balancing of interests.

The processing of the data provided under this section is not required by law or contract. The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing.

Your personal data will be stored by Cloudflare for as long as necessary for the purposes described.

You can find more information about objection and removal options towards Cloudflare at: Cloudflare DPA.

The company Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Thus the adequacy decision according to Art. 45 GDPR applies, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

Cookie Consent Manager (CCM19)

We use CCM19 to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your terminal device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in accordance with data protection law. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn (hereinafter “CCM19”).

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to the websites of other providers. We cannot influence their compliance with data protection regulations, which is why our data protection declaration does not extend to them.

CONTENTS OF OUR WEBSITE

Contact form

On our website you can send us inquiries via a contact form. In addition to mandatory fields, the contact form also contains voluntary information.

We process the information you provide in the form, including the contact data you enter there, for the purpose of processing the request. This data will not be passed on to third parties or processed for other purposes without your express consent. As soon as you send your request, the data controller will receive an e-mail with all this information in order to process your request immediately.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR or Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR, if the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Voucher order

On our website we offer you the possibility to purchase various vouchers.

Via the voucher order form, we collect various data that we need for processing. This data will not be disclosed to third parties or processed for other purposes without your express consent. As soon as you send your request, the data controller will receive an e-mail with all this information in order to process your request immediately.

For the voucher order form, we use the online application of the company Jotform Ltd (Jotform), 4 Embarcadero Center, Suite 780, San Francisco CA 94111. The data is transferred to Jotform in the USA for processing. Jotform processes your personal data only on behalf of and at the instruction of the controller.

Jotform has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. You can find more information at the following link: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome. To protect your data in the U.S., we have concluded a data processing agreement with Jotform based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses to enable the transfer of your personal data to Jotform.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR, as the request is aimed at the conclusion of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Direct booking and availability check

On our website you have the possibility to book rooms and other additional services in our hotel directly or to check availability. Alternatively, you can also make a booking request by phone or e-mail directly to us. We collect, process and use your personal data provided during the booking process exclusively for the establishment, implementation and processing of the contractual relationship established with the booking and on the basis of provisions of the Federal Registration Act. In addition, you can provide us with further information. These are based on a purely voluntary basis.

The hotel uses the direct booking system OnePageBooking of the company HotelNetSolutions GmbH, Genthiner Str. 8, 10785 Berlin for online bookings. HotelNetSolutions GmbH acts in compliance with data protection regulations, which were contractually agreed between the responsible party and the processor.

For the transmission of reservation offers for booking inquiries by telephone or by e-mail and, if necessary, other booking-related messages, we use “Korrespondenzmanager” of the company Brandnamic GmbH, Satzlstraße 4, 39042 Brixen, Italy.
In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the processor in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.

We delete the data collected in this context from our system after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR.

REGISTRATION FORM

The hotel is obliged by §30 (1) BMG (federal registration act) to provide special registration forms and to ensure that these are correctly filled out and signed. In order to comply with this obligation, your name, address, date of birth, nationality and date of arrival and departure will be transferred to the registration form in advance. Any missing information will be completed upon your arrival. Failure to provide the data may mean that accommodation cannot be justified. The legal storage period according to § 30 (4) BMG for the registration form is 1 year.

For the collection of health resort fees and the issuance of the health resort card (ostseecard), a registration form is also created. For this purpose we additionally collect the names and dates of birth of all arriving persons. The registration forms are created via the registration platform of the health resort administration, operated by AVS Abrechnungs- und Verwaltungs-Service GmbH, Josephsplatz 8, 95444 Bayreuth. Your data provided during the binding booking will be automatically transmitted to the health resort administration via AVS. The basis for the processing is §10 (1) LMG (state registration act) Schleswig-Holstein.

SATISFACTION SURVEY

We additionally use your e-mail address and name given during the binding booking to send you an e-mail with a satisfaction survey about your stay after your stay. At random, you will receive either a link to an evaluation form or a forwarding to a public evaluation portal. The sole purpose of this survey is to evaluate and improve our customer relationship. This is also our legitimate interest. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR and Section 7 (3) UWG (Germany).

For the satisfaction survey, we use the online evaluation tool Customer Alliance of CA Customer Alliance GmbH, Ullsteinstraße 130, 12109 Berlin. CA Customer Alliance GmbH acts in compliance with data protection regulations, which were contractually agreed between the responsible party and the processor.

If you do not wish this data to be used for this purpose, you naturally have the right to object at any time in accordance with Art. 21 (3) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 (3) UWG (Germany).

NEWSLETTER

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your e-mail address. The registration for our e-mail newsletter takes place in the double opt-in procedure. After you have entered the data marked as mandatory, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to explicitly confirm your subscription to the newsletter. In this way, we ensure that you actually wish to receive our e-mail newsletter. Further data will not be collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

Our e-mail newsletter is sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, to whom we pass on the data you provided when registering for the newsletter. This transfer takes place within the framework of order processing by MailChimp. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.

MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. For the evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. 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. the time of the retrieval, the IP address, the browser type and the operating system). The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data. A direct reference to a person is therefore excluded. This data 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 wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

You can withdraw the consent you have given at any time. You can also prevent the processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser accordingly. By deactivating Java Script in your web browser or installing a Java Script blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com), you can prevent the storage and transmission of personal data. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

Furthermore, MailChimp may use this data itself in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR on the basis of its own legitimate interest in designing and optimizing the service to meet demand, as well as for market research purposes, for example to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties.

The company Mailchimp is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Thus the adequacy decision according to Art. 45 GDPR applies, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can view the privacy policy of MailChimp here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR.

PLUGINS AND OTHER SERVICES

Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website. The operating company of Google Maps is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to visually present geographical information. By using this service, for example, our location can be displayed to you and a possible approach can be facilitated.

Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely disabling the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

You can view Google’s terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms of use for Google Maps at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

Google Fonts

Our website uses so-called Web Fonts for the uniform display of fonts. The Google WebFonts are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use establishes a connection to Google’s servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website.

Further information on Google WebFonts and Google’s privacy notice can be found at: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq ; https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Google Tag Manager

On this website we use the Google Tag Manager service. The operating company of Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Through this tool, “website tags” (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have set a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

YouTube (Videos)

We have integrated YouTube components on this website. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and 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 film and TV shows, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website operated by us on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. Within the scope of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by you.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific sub-page of our website you are visiting when you call up a sub-page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged into YouTube at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Vimeo (Videos)

Plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated on our website. When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly assign your visit to our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo’s own tracking, to which we have no access and which cannot be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for tracking, which are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.
