What Personal Information Is Collected and How Is This Information Used?
We will use and store personal data you submit to us when you send an inquiry or request information about a hotel or when you book a hotel as far as it is necessary to complete the specific transaction. These data will only be stored beyond the purpose of such a specific transaction where the law requires us to do so or where you have given your consent.

When you submit an online inquiry via our website, you may be asked to enter your name, email, and phone number. The requested data is in line with the European data protection legislation, which sets out the so-called lawful basis for processing such data. The purpose is to provide you with the services that you requested via this website. Any additional personal details that you decide to share with us are entirely at your discretion and we cannot be held liable for those!
Submitting an online inquiry via our website means that the following information will be stored on our servers:
Date, time and length of your visit to one of our web pages;
The carried out activities on our website;
From which server and which website you accessed the site;
How Do We Protect Your Data?
We have implemented technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data that you have made available to us from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access.
The protection and safeguarding of your data are very important to us and we implement various security safeguards to protect your data, including:
Encryption, such as the use of SSL certificates where personal data is transferred over the internet.
Regular reviews of our processes for collecting, storing and processing your data.
Restricting access to your data to authorized users only.
Will Personal Data Be Transferred To Other Parties?

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for 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 you are a party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary to provide any service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR.
The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c 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 in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or another third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used if the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of sensitive personal data.
