The following described social media plugins are used on our website. By default, the plugins are deactivated on our website and won’t send any data. With a click on the respective social media button, plugins are activated. If these plugins are activated, your browser connects directly with the servers of the respective social network, as soon as you call up one of our websites. Contents of the plugins are transmitted directly from the social network to your browser and integrated with the website. The plugins can be deactivated once more with one click. Additional important information is available in the respective data protection statements of the following social networks.
We use social plugins from Facebook on our website to create a more personal web presence. This concerns an offer of the US corporation Facebook Inc.. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
We use their “LIKE “or “SHARE” button. With the integration of these plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser called up the relevant page with our web appearance, even if you don’t have a Facebook account, or if you are not logged on to your Facebook account at the time. This information (including your IP address) is sent by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged on to your Facebook account, Facebook can assign your website visit directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, press the “LIKE“ or “SHARE” button, relevant information will be directly submitted to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be published on Facebook and shown to your Facebook friends.
Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and needs-based design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates use, interest and relations profiles, e.g. in order to evaluate your use of our website with regards to the visible adverts on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of Facebook.
If you did not like the fact that Facebook assigns the data, collected on our web appearance, to your Facebook account, you need to log out of your Facebook account before visiting our website.

We only share your personal data with your express consent, if we have a legal obligation to do, or if it is deemed to be necessary for the enforcement of our rights, in particular for the enforcement of claims arising from the relationship between you and the Hotel Vorab. Beyond that, we share your data to third parties, as far as this necessary in the context of the use of the website and for the supply of your desired services, as well as the analysis of your user behaviour; details as described above.

These third parties are obligated to data protection to the same extent as we are. If the data protection level in a country does not comply with Swiss and/or European guidelines, we contractually ensure that the data protection standard of the third party corresponds to the level of protection of your personal data in Switzerland and/or the European Union at any time.
For reasons of completeness, we would like to point that the USA has implemented monitoring measures of US authorities, which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons, whose data have been transmitted from Switzerland to the USA. This is applied without differentiation, restriction or exception on the basis the pursued goal, and without an objective criterion, which makes it possible to limit the access of the US authorities to the data and their later use to particular, strictly limited purposes, which in turn would justify both, the access to these data and act related to their use. In addition, we would like to point out you that there are no legal remedies available in the USA, which permit you to obtain access to your personal data and to effect their correction or deletion. There is no adequate judicial legal protection against general rights of access of US authorities at present.
It is important for us to inform you about these facts and legal circumstances, which will enable you to make an informed decision in terms of consent to the use of your data.
Users with domicile in a member state of the European Union should know that the USA does not provide, in the view of the European Union – among other things, due to the topics specified in this section – a sufficient data protection level.
