Privacy policy | WeekenGO
The following information concerns the processing of personal data in connection with the use of the mobile app (“app”) operated by weekengo GmbH and the website weekengo.com (“website”) (together: “portals”). “Personal data” is any data that can be related to you personally, i.e. your name, address, email addresses, user behaviour.
1.2 You can reach the contact person responsible for data protection at info@weekengo.com or at the address specified under 1.1.
2.7 The rights mentioned in this section may be asserted by email to info@weekengo.com or to the address specified under 1.1.
When our services are used via the website, we process the personal data specified under 4.1.
In order to make your travel booking, we transfer the relevant travel booking data to the provider of the desired trip. Depending on your travel booking and travel provider, this may be information such as your name, contact details, payment details, special requests or other information in connection with the travel booking as well as the names of the guests travelling with you. A transfer of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR will be carried out only if you have given us your consent, meaning that the processing is then permissible according to Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR.
If no payment is made during the booking process via the website, we will forward your credit card data to the relevant travel provider for further processing, provided you have provided us with such data.
In the event of disputes relating to travel bookings, we may provide the tour operator with data regarding the travel booking process as required to resolve the disagreements. This may include a copy of your booking confirmation, which serves as proof of the actual travel booking completion.
If you are redirected from the website to the page of the providers of the travel services, the data processing conducted by such providers is governed by the data protection regulations of the respective provider. You will find the respective regulations on the providers’ websites.
You are entitled to revoke your consent to receiving the newsletter, at any time. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter email, by an email to info@weekengo.com or by sending a message to the contact details indicated in the Legal Notice. The data you provide will not be passed on to third parties.
In order to send messages with information about our products and services to your mobile device, weekengo uses OneSignal technology if you have consented to receive such messages.
Furthermore, cookies are stored on your device when you use the portals. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to the browser you use and stored on your device. They allow certain information to be sent to the location placing the cookie (in this case, weekengo). Cookies cannot run programs or pass on viruses to your computer. They serve to make the offering altogether more user-friendly and more effective.
weekengo uses Google Tag Manager, a Google application, to manage tags on our portals.
weekengo uses the web analytics service “Amplitude”, provided by Amplitude Inc., to evaluate user access to the weekengo website and the weekengo app.
weekengo uses the web analytics tool “Crashlytics” from Google LLC on its portals. The weekengo app automatically sends error messages in the event that the app crashes or has errors. These error reports send to the tool information about the type and version of the device, the version of the app that is installed, the time the error occurred, the feature used, the status of the application when the error occurred as well as other technical information. We only use the tool on an anonymised basis. This information does not include the IP address, personally identifiable information or any other data from the mobile device.
weekengo receives an evaluation of the error messages from Google. You have the option, at any time, to disable the logging of the error reports in accordance with this section by deactivating this option in the weekengo app under Settings.
weekengo uses the Firebase database to manage user accounts. This is a real-time database, designed to embed real-time information into the website and app. It also serves to send you emails for password resetting. In addition, information is collected for analysing the use of our offer. The user data is transferred to Firebase solely on an anonymised basis.
The data collected is anonymous for weekengo; we cannot draw conclusions about the users’ identity. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook to enable a connection to the respective user profile and allow Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s data usage guidelines. Facebook can then place ads both on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. We as the website operator cannot influence this use of the data.
The advertising ID is not used to optimise advertising, however, but is discarded by Facebook: weekengo generally prevents Facebook’s use of the advertising ID for optimised advertising purposes. The individual user thus cannot be exactly determined at any given time. Information about the identity of the user is therefore not known to weekengo, even if the share functionalities are used.
weekengo uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” on the website and, in the context of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking tool. Google conversion tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and weekengo can see that you have clicked on the ad and were redirected to such page. However, they do not receive any information that would allow them to personally identify users.
“Conversion cookies” are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. weekengo has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both the website and the advertising.
7. Booking with third-party providers
7.1 With its portals, weekengo only offers a search engine for hotel and flight offers on booking websites operated by third parties. Accordingly, the deals are booked on the web pages of the respective booking websites. In any case, in booking the travel service, you are entering into a contract with the booking website and not with weekengo. The data is collected there directly by the third-party provider, who is also the controller within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR. Please also note the privacy policy of the respective booking website.
7.2 In order to bill the third-party providers for our fee and to prevent fraud, we send them your customer ID. Your ID is used solely for the aforementioned purposes and is deleted immediately as soon as there is no longer any need to store it. The legal basis for sending the customer ID is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. weekengo has a legitimate interest in being able to trace whether a booking has been made with a third-party provider as a result of a connection established via our portals: this constitutes the basis for our billing to the third-party providers.
7.3 In certain cases you can book offers directly with the third-party provider by means of an interface to the respective booking website. To this end, we may collect certain information from you, including your name, address and credit card details, on behalf of the third party that operates the booking page that is then your contracting party. We then provide this data to the respective third-party provider to enable you to effectively submit your booking request through us. The legal basis for such provision of data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR: the provision of data serves to help fulfil a contract.
8. Receivers of the data
8.1 Within the scope of the purposes mentioned above in sections 4 to 7 and also sections 9 and 10, we send your personal data to the following categories of recipients:
When you book with a third-party provider, your customer ID we have created is sent to them for the purpose of billing.
8.2 At our request, your data will not normally be processed in countries outside the scope of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (OJ EC No. L 281 p. 31), unless the third-party providers or other bodies mentioned in this Privacy Policy are concerned that have their registered office outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This pertains in particular to the Facebook social plug-ins as well as the Google measurement and/or evaluation methods (such as Google Analytics). In addition, data is transferred if such is necessary for the purposes of contract fulfilment and execution (for example, to airlines, hotels, etc.).
