3. General information on data processing
3.1 Scope of processing
When you visit this website, personal data is collected which we use primarily for evaluation purposes. The data is used exclusively for internal purposes and is not passed on to third parties under any circumstances.
We collect and use the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and in which the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions in relation to our predominant legitimate interests, which we have due to our role and tasks as a tourism community.
3.2 Storage of address data for orders and subscriptions (newsletter)
If you request brochures and information material, your data will be stored so that we can successfully complete the order and send it to you. These data will be deleted after delivery.
Should you wish to receive our newsletter and info mails with current information, services, warnings, invitations, surveys and interesting offers from us, you have an additional option to choose from. If you choose this option, your data will remain stored by us so that we can continue to inform you about your areas of interest in the future. You can, of course, revoke this consent at any time.
Data which we collect in the course of orders will never be used to create individual user profiles or to track the surfing behaviour of our customers. Your contact data will only be used by us to process your orders.
3.3 Processing and transmission of personal data
We do not process your personal data without your consent. A transfer to third parties only takes place within the scope of your consent and only to the extent necessary to fulfil your wishes and requirements. Excepted from this are transmissions which are necessary for the security of our websites.
The transmission of data to contract processors (service providers) is generally only carried out to those companies that offer sufficient guarantee for the lawful and secure use of data. Agreements pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO have been concluded with all contract processors to ensure that all data protection and data security requirements are met.
3.4 Legal basis
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 a serves as the legal basis.
Art. 6 para. 1 b serves as the legal basis for the processing of data required for the fulfilment of a contract with you. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
If data processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, Art 6 Paragraph 1 c serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if your interests and fundamental rights do not outweigh the first mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 f serves as the legal basis.
3.5 Data deletion and storage duration
Your data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies or until revoked. In addition, your data may be stored if this has been provided for by European or national regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or fulfilment of a contract.
4. Provision of the website and creation of log files
4.1 Description and scope of data processing
Each time you access our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:
– Information about the browser type and the version used
– The user’s operating system
– The Internet service provider of the user
– The IP address of the user
– Date and time of access
– Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
– Websites accessed by the user’s system through our website
4.2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 f.
4.3 Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. The data is also used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f.
4.4 Duration of storage
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the session in question has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. A storage going beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users will be deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
4.5 Objection and removal options
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
