Your data in safe hands

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG. The use of the internet pages of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG. By means of this privacy policy, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this privacy policy, of the rights to which they are entitled.

Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG has, as controller, implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:

a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in Member States of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG

Ramolweg 15

6456 Obergurgl

Austria

3. Cookies

The website of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG uses cookies. Cookies are text files stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies allow us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies does not have to, for example, enter access data again with every visit to the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG collects a series of general data and information with every call-up of the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our enterprise, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.

Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent, in the double opt-in procedure, to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove that the owner of the e-mail address, as the data subject, has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

During newsletter registration, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later date, and it therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration will only be used to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer, or a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected within the framework of the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the dispatch of the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. A corresponding link is found in each newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in another way.

6. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format, to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG can see whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimise the dispatch of the newsletter, and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG automatically regards unsubscribing from the newsletter as a revocation.

7. Possibility of contact via the website

Due to statutory regulations, the website of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG contains information which enables quick electronic contact with our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data, voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the controller, are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

8. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies, or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.

9. Rights of the data subject

a) Right of confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail themselves of this right of confirmation, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

b) Right of access

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about their personal data stored at any time, as well as a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

the purposes of the processing

the categories of personal data concerned

the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations

where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing

the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information as to their source

the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and — at least in those cases — meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject otherwise has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to avail themselves of this right of access, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

c) Right to rectification

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, without undue delay, the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed — including by means of a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following reasons applies and as long as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data were collected for such purposes or otherwise processed for which they are no longer necessary.

The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.

The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above-mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with promptly.

Where Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG has made the personal data public and our enterprise is obliged as controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by those other controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, this personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG will arrange the necessary steps in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.

The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above-mentioned conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG will arrange for the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller by the data subject, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data be transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may, at any time, contact any employee of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG.

g) Right to object

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG regarding processing for direct marketing purposes, Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them carried out by Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG directly. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Doris Schöpf Hotelbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights concerning automated decisions, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw a data-protection consent

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

10. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case in particular if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller stand in the way of erasure. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

11. Data protection provisions on the use and application of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) was integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins. In the course of this technical procedure, Facebook becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on Facebook at the same time, Facebook detects with every call-up of our website by the data subject, and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Facebook component and matched by Facebook with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in on Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent it by logging out of their Facebook account before calling up our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at facebook.com/about/privacy, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress a data transmission to Facebook. Such applications may be used by the data subject to suppress a data transmission to Facebook.

12. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used for the optimisation of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is abridged and anonymised by Google if access to our website is made from a Member State of the European Union or another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services relating to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently enable commission billing.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access took place, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties under certain circumstances.

As already explained above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to a collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google, and of preventing this. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or newly installed at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or by another person within their sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable Google data protection provisions can be accessed at google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy and at google.com/analytics/terms. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: google.com/intl/en_uk/analytics.

13. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google Remarketing

The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows an enterprise to display advertising to internet users who have previously visited the enterprise's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows an enterprise to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the internet user.

The operating company of Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network, or to have them displayed on other websites, tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to recognise the visitor of our website if they subsequently call up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each call-up of a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. In the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

The cookie is used to store personal information, for example the websites visited by the data subject. Accordingly, with each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties under certain circumstances.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must access the link google.com/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable Google data protection provisions can be accessed at google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy.

14. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google AdWords

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google's search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords, by means of which an ad in Google's search engine results is only displayed when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party enterprises and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed by Google on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. As long as the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to trace whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can trace whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. We in turn use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our enterprise nor other Google AdWords advertising customers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, for example the websites visited by the data subject. Accordingly, with each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties under certain circumstances.

As already explained above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies.

15. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Instagram

The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform, which allows users to share photos and videos, and also to disseminate such data on other social networks.

The operating company of Instagram services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) was integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding component from Instagram. In the course of this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on Instagram at the same time, Instagram detects with every call-up of our website by the data subject, and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific sub-page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Instagram component and matched by Instagram with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted are matched with the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in on Instagram at the same time as calling up our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Instagram is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent it by logging out of their Instagram account before calling up our website.

The controller has integrated components of Pinterest Inc. on this website. Pinterest is a so-called social network. A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Pinterest allows social network users, among other things, to publish collections of images and individual images as well as descriptions on virtual pin boards (so-called pinning), which can in turn be shared by other users (so-called repinning) or commented on.

These short messages are accessible to everyone, including people who are not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Furthermore, Twitter enables the addressing of a broad audience via hashtags, links or retweets.

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge, and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves, can be accessed via the internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube.

19. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our enterprise as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our enterprise is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our enterprise or of a third party, provided the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

20. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

21. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.

22. Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide it

We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contractual partner). It may sometimes be necessary for the conclusion of a contract for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our enterprise concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

23. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible enterprise, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
