General information on data processing 1. Scope of processing personal data In principle, we collect and use the personal data of our users only insofar as is necessary for the provision of a functional website and for our content and services. Collection and use of personal data takes place regularly only after consent from the relevant user. An exception is made in cases where it is not possible to obtain consent in advance for objective reasons and where processing of the data is permitted by statutory regulations. 2. Legal basis for processing personal data Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for personal data processing operations, Art. 6 (1) a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis. Where the processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) b GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This shall also apply to all processing operations required for the execution of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (statutory conditions) to which our company is bound (e.g. Federal Registration Act), Art 6 (1) c GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. However, if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned legitimate interest, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for processing. 3. Deletion of data and storage duration Personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. Storage beyond this may take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Data shall also be blocked or deleted once the storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract. IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files 1. Description and scope of data processing Each time this website is accessed, our system records data and information from the computer system of the inquiring computer by means of an automated system. The following data is collected as part of this process: · Information about the browser type and version used · The user’s operating system · The user’s IP address · Time and date of access · Websites from which the user’s system has come to our website · Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website This data is also stored in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. It is therefore not possible to create personal user profiles. The stored data shall only be evaluated for statistical purposes. 2. Legal basis for data processing The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. 3. Purpose of data processing The system temporarily stores the user’s IP address in order to make the website available on the user’s computer. To do this, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functional capability of the website. The data also helps us to optimise the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. No data is evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. This is also the reasoning behind our legitimate interest in data processing. 4. Storage duration The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. When data is collected in order to make the website available, this is the case when the respective session ends. When data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of users are deleted or scrambled so that assignment to the inquiring client (data subject) is no longer possible. 5. Option for objection and elimination The collection of data in order to make the website available and the storage of data in log files is necessary for operating the website. Therefore, the user has no right of objection. V. Contact form / e-mail contact 1.

Legal basis for data processing The legal basis for the processing of the data is in the presence of the consent of the user according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If the purpose of making contact is to conclude a contract, the initiation of a business relationship or of a contractual relationship shall constitute the additional legal basis for data processing according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO. 3. Purpose of data processing We only process personal data taken from the input template of the contact form for the purposes of making contact. If we are contacted by e-mail, we also have a necessary legitimate interest to process data. Other personal data processed during the submission process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to guarantee the security of our IT systems. 4. Storage duration Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by e-mail, data is deleted when the respective correspondence with the user has ended. Correspondence concludes when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved. If contact is made based on a pre-contractual relationship (offer or reservation request), the transmitted data shall be additionally stored in our hotel and/or event software and used for executing contracts. Should no contractual relationship arise, we shall delete the data regularly. 5.

Supplementary information In addition to the information provided above regarding the use of cookies, we would like to draw your attention to the following: Use of Google Analytics, Google DoubleClick Cookies, Google Convers Tracking and Google Remarketing Our website may use Google Analytics, Google DoubleClick Cookies, Google Convers Tracking and Google Remarketing. These services are provided by Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’). This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’. These are text files stored on the user’s computer which facilitate an analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the user is generally sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website however, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases. IP anonymisation is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and Internet usage. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing the respective settings in your browser software; however, please note that you may not be able to use all features of this website in full. You may also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Deactivation of Google advertising (http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html) or on the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) Use of Google Maps This website uses Google Maps API for the purpose of visually displaying geographical information. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To use the functions of Google Maps storage of your IP address is required. This information will usually be transferred to, and stored on, a server in the USA. Google may transfer this information to third parties provided this is required by law or such third parties process these data on behalf of Google. Google will not link your IP address with other Google data under any circumstances. Nevertheless, it is technically possible that Google may identify at least some users on the basis of the data received. In addition, it would be technically possible for Google to process personal data and personal profiles of website users for other purposes over which we do not have, and cannot have, any control. This, and the fact that data are being transmitted to the USA, is problematic from a data protection perspective. 2. Legal basis for processing personal data The using of Google Maps with the user shall constitute the legal basis for data processing. 3. Purpose of data processing The purpose of using Google Maps is to allow the user to see our location on the website and to give them the ability to identify different directions through the services of Google Maps. 4.

However, we would like to point out that, in this case, you will be unable to use the map display. XIII. Protection of minors This service is directedly mainly at adults. We do not currently market any services specifically aimed at children. As a result, we do not knowingly collect age rating information, nor do we knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. We do, however, advise all visitors to our website who are under the age of 16 to avoid disclosing or providing any personal information to our service. In the event that we discover that a child under the age of 16 has provided personal information to us, we shall delete the child's personal information from our files, insofar as this is technically possible.

Rights of the data subject When your personal data is processed, you become the data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you shall have the following rights in relation to us (‘the data controller’): You have a right to information about the personal data stored about you, including the purpose of processing, as well as about any transfer of data to third parties and the duration of data storage. Should the data be incorrect or no longer required for the original purpose for which it was collected, you can request that the data be corrected, deleted or the processing of data restricted. Insofar as provided for in the processing procedures, you can also view and correct your data yourself as necessary. You shall have the right to object at any time, on compelling legitimate grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, insofar as the processing is based on a legitimate interest. Following an objection, the data controller shall no longer process the personal data relating to you unless the data controller can prove compelling reasons for processing which warrant protection and which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or can prove that the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims. If the personal data relating to you is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data relating to you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is directly connected with such direct advertising. If you object to processing for the purposes of direct advertising or profiling, the personal data relating to you shall no longer be used for these purposes. You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Revocation of consent does not affect the legality of processing carried out on the basis of consent up to the time of revocation. Should you have any questions relating to your rights and how to exercise your rights, please contact the Responsible Body or the Data Protection Officer. XV. Right to lodge a complaint with a regulatory authority Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you (the data subject) have the right to lodge a complaint with a regulatory authority for data protection, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement if you believe that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes data protection.
