According to these regulations, business communication, contracts concluded and accounting documents must be kept for up to 10 years. If and as we no longer need these data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and tax purposes.
We will only pass on your personal data if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if it is necessary for the enforcement of our rights, in particular for the enforcement of claims arising from the contractual relationship. Furthermore, we will pass on your data to third parties to such an extent as it is necessary in the context of the use of the website and the processing of the contract (also outside the website), in particular the processing of your bookings.
One service provider to whom the personal data collected through the website will be passed on and who has or can have access to them is our web hoster netfuchs gmbh, untere Bönigstrasse 10a, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland.

With respect to the processing of your credit card information by these third parties, please also read the general terms and conditions and the data protection declaration of your credit card issuer.
We are also entitled to transmit your personal data to third parties (commissioned service providers) abroad for the purpose of data processing as described in this data protection declaration. These third parties are obliged to the same extent as we are to comply with data protection regulations. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or Europe, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data will correspond at all times to that in Switzerland or the EU.
You have the right to request information about the personal data that we store about you. In addition, you have the right to request rectification of inaccurate data and erasure of your personal data, unless there is a legal obligation to retain such data or a factual ground allowing us to process the data.
You also have the right to reclaim the data that you have provided to us (right of data portability). Upon request, we will also pass the data on to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a common file format.
Once given, you can revoke your consent to the processing of your data at any time. As a result, we will no longer be allowed to, and will not continue to process the data in the future as we will have done before on the basis of this consent. Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if there are reasons for this which arise from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct advertising.
You can contact us for the above-mentioned purposes by e-mail at info@hotel-dunord.ch. We may, at our discretion, require proof of identity to process your applications.
We use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
You should always treat your access data confidentially and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, in particular if you share your computer with others.
We also take internal data protection very seriously. We have committed our employees and the service companies we have commissioned to secrecy and compliance with data protection regulations.
For reasons of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or domiciled in Switzerland that there are monitoring measures vested in US authorities in the USA, which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data were transmitted from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without differentiation, restriction or exception on the basis of the objective pursued and without an objective criterion making it possible to limit access by the US authorities to the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes justifying intervention related to both access to these data and their use. Furthermore, we would like to point out that there are no legal remedies available in the USA for data subjects from Switzerland allowing them to gain access to the data about them and obtain their rectification or erasure, i.e. that there is no effective legal protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly point out this legal and factual situation to the person concerned (data subject) in order to enable them to make an appropriately informed decision to consent to the use of his or her data.
Users residing in a EU Member State are advised that the US does not have an adequate level of data protection from the point of view of the European Union, in part due to the issues mentioned in this section. Having explained in this Data Protection Declaration that recipients of data (such as Google) are based in the USA, we will nonetheless ensure that your data is protected by our partners at an appropriate level, either by contractual arrangements with these companies or by ensuring that these companies are certified under the EU / Swiss-US privacy shield.
This Data Protection Declaration has been valid as of May 2018 and has been written to the best of our knowledge and belief.
Due to the further development of our website and offers processed on it, as well as due to possible amendments of legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to amend this Data Protection Declaration. You can call up and print the current version of the Data Protection Declaration on our website at any time.
