Liability disclaimer

1. Online Content

The author accepts no responsibility for the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information supplied. Liability claims against the author based on damages of material or emotional nature, caused by the use or non-use of information presented, or through the use of erroneous or incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded, in so far as the author is not guilty of any demonstrably willful or gross negligence. All information presented is subject to change and is non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete, or shut down portions of the site without notice, or to close down this publication in its entirety either temporarily or permanently.

2. References and Links

With regards to direct or indirect references to external Internet sites (“links”) which are themselves outside the field of responsibility of the author, liability for illegal content will only then be assumed if the author has knowledge of the content of those sites and it is technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent usage of said sites. The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time links were installed on this site, no illegal content was apparent on the targeted sites. The author has absolutely no influence on the current or future design, content or copyright of the linked pages. Consequently, the author expressly distances himself from all content on said linked pages which have been altered since installation of the original link. This declaration applies to all references and links within the author’s own Internet site, as well as entries made by other parties in guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists which were created by the author. Sole liability for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content, and particularly for damages which might by caused by use or non-use of any such information supplied, is born by the provider of the target site, and not by the provider who included a link to that particular site.

3. Copyright and Trademarking

The author makes every effort in all publications to respect copyright on all graphics, audio files, video clips and texts, and to make use of self-created graphics, audio files, video clips and texts, or to avail himself of non-licensed graphics, audio files, video clips and texts. All those brand names and trademarks cited in the author’s Internet platform, some of which are, on occasion, protected by third parties, are subject without restriction to applicable copyright laws and the proprietary rights of the registered owners. The conclusion should not be drawn from their mere naming, that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! Copyrights for those objects published and created by the author himself, remain solely with the author. Duplication or use of such graphics, audio documents, video clips and texts in other electronic or print publications, is not permitted, except with the expressed permission of the author.

As long as the website provides the opportunity to enter personal or business information (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), the user does so on an expressly voluntary basis. The user therefore agrees that his data in this case will be electronically recorded – until written revocation. The user may avail himself and/or pay for all proffered services – insofar as it is technically possibly or feasible – without having to enter such information or by providing anonymous data or a pseudonym.

5. Legal Force of this Liability Disclaimer

This liability disclaimer is to be regarded as part of those Internet pages from which it was referenced. In so far as portions or isolated formulations of the text do not, no longer or incompletely reflect applicable law, the content and validity of the remaining portions of the document remain unaffected.

6. Online-dispute resolution according to Art. 14 Abs. 1 ODR-VO

The European Commission provides under http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ a platform for online-dispute resolution.

Principles

We take all necessary measures to ensure the protection of your data and to uphold confidentiality, and we use your data in compliance with the legal provisions of, in particular, the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the Data Protection Act and the Federal Law Gazette 2017/120 as well as the TCA (Telecommunications Act). This means that your data can only be used if a legal permission or your consent is available.

We implement organisational, contractual and technical security measures to ensure that the legal conditions are met, thus protecting your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons.

We would like to point out that the data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Thus, complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.

When using this website without further transmission of data to us (e.g. through registration or by using the contact form), we collect technically necessary data which is transmitted automatically to our server, including:

IP address – encrypted transmission
Date and time of the enquiry
Content of the enquiry
Access status/http status code
Browser type
Language and version of the browser software
Operating system

This data is technically necessary for the display of our website. We use this data also to ensure the security and stability of our website. Legal basis for the collection is Article 6 (1) letter f GDPR.

Processing of personal data

Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (e.g. name, address, phone number, email address, IP address, …).

We only process personal data which you provide in your enquiry, booking, order or participation in a competition or for the use of our services, and which are necessary for the provision of our services to you.

Using and disclosing personal data relating to enquiries, orders or bookings

Personal data you transmitted in relation to enquiries, orders, bookings or when participating in a competition will be used exclusively for processing your enquiry, order or booking.

Your personal data is only disclosed to persons who are involved in the enquiry, order, booking or competition process. All employees entrusted with data processing are obliged to keep your data confidential. The personal data you transmitted will not be sold to third parties or otherwise exploited. Your personal data will only be disclosed or otherwise transmitted to third parties if this is necessary for the business transaction (enquiry to or booking with the hotel) or if you have given your consent beforehand. We neither use your data given in relation to enquiries, orders, bookings or participation in competitions nor do we use other personal data related to this to send you targeted advertisements unless you have given your expressed consent.

Order processing

Based on specifically concluded agreements on the processing of personal data, your data will be processed by

Kubeos GmbH with registered office in Nußdorf

on our behalf in form of support measures as part of the order processing pursuant to Article 28 GDPR and in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. As part of performing their services, the mentioned order processors have access to your data but they can use this data only for the purpose of these support measures and cannot use this data for their own purposes.

Storing and deleting data

In case a contract has been concluded, all data relating to the contractual relationship will be stored until the expiry of the record-keeping period under tax law. In addition, “name“, “address“, “ordered vouchers“ and “purchase date“ will be stored until the expiry of the statutory or, if applicable, stipulatory longer periods with regard to guarantee and redemption period of vouchers.
