About cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small data files that allow a website to collect and store a range of data on your desktop computer, laptop or mobile device. Cookies help us to provide important features and functionality on our websites and mobile apps, and we use them to improve your customer experience.

Links to other websites

Our websites or mobile apps may contain links to websites operated by other organisations that have their own privacy notices. Please make sure you read the terms and conditions and privacy notice carefully before providing any personal data on another organisation’s website as we do not accept any responsibility or liability for for these features.

Google Analytics

The app and the website use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, "Google"). Apart from the anonymized IP address, the app does not send any personal data to Google, so that cross-device tracking is not possible, even though "Universal Analytics" operating mode is used.

The app and the website use a cookie-like token to recognize the device at Google Analytics and to enable an analysis of your usage behavior. The information about app usage gathered by means of this token is sent to Google's servers in the USA. The IP address used during use is shortened before leaving the EU or the EEA. Only in exceptional cases does this reduction take place in the USA. The IP address transmitted by the app is not linked to any other data at Google. Google will use this data to analyze app usage on behalf of us and compile reports for us. These reports include, for example, the frequency of use, the place of use and the content viewed. With the help of these reports, we will improve the product quality. This also explains the legitimate interest of us in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 15 para. 3 TMG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can opt-out of the analysis of your user data at any time by deactivating the "Tracking" function in the settings of the native app. If you're using the web app, you need to install the browser Add-On which Google offers at this link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This prevents the future collection of your data (including the anonymised IP address) and sending it to Google. You will need to disable this setting on all devices on which you use the App. Also if you delete and reinstall the app on a device, you must disable tracking again.

Further information and Google's current privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/ More detailed information about Google Analytics is available via this link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

Bookings in the app

Within the app, we're offering a service to make bookings for the stay in the hotel. The entry of first/last name and room number/booking number is mandatory in accordance with legal requirements. If necessary, further personal data is requested which might be required for the processing of the booking. Under no circumstances is data queried that is not necessary for executing the booking. The data entered is required to forward the bookings to the appropriate locations in the hotel and to prevent misuse.

The anonymised data of the bookings will further be used to analyze the booking behavior and to further develop this functionality.

The personal data will be stored for 14 more days after the booked event has taken place to enable correct transmission into our billing systems and will be deleted after this period. The legal basis for this storage is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Personal data will only be forwarded to the respective supplier and, if necessary, to external booking providers fulfilling the booking, but never to other third parties.

Social media features

Our websites or mobile apps may contain social media features such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest that have their own privacy notices.

Your browser will then not send cookies to the server for embedded content from other providers. With this setting, however, other cross-page functions may no longer work except for the plug-ins.

When these plugins are enabled, your browser will connect to the servers of the social network directly as soon as you access a website of our internet presence. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the social network to your browser and is integrated into the website. By incorporating the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have called the corresponding page of our Internet presence. If you are logged in to the social network, you can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, such as the Facebook ' like me ' button or leave a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to the social network and stored there. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks, as well as their respective rights and settings for the protection of your privacy, can be consulted in the data protection information of the relevant networks or Web pages. You will find the links below.

Even if you are not signed in to social networks, Web pages with active social plug-ins can send data to the networks. An active plugin is used to set a cookie with an identifier each time the webpage is visited. Since your browser sends this cookie unasked with every connection to a network server, the network could in principle create a profile with Web pages of the user belonging to the identifier. It would also be possible to assign this identifier to a person again later, for example when you log on to the social network later.
