General information

The fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion will pro­vide you with an easy to nav­i­gate overview of what will hap­pen with your per­son­al data when you vis­it this web­site. The term “per­son­al data” com­pris­es all data that can be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. For detailed infor­ma­tion about the sub­ject mat­ter of data pro­tec­tion, please con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion, which we have includ­ed beneath this copy.

Data recording on this website

Who is the responsible party for the recording of data on this website (i.e., the “controller”)?

The data on this web­site is processed by the oper­a­tor of the web­site, whose con­tact infor­ma­tion is avail­able under sec­tion “Infor­ma­tion about the respon­si­ble par­ty (referred to as the “con­troller” in the GDPR)” in this Pri­va­cy Policy.

How do we record your data?

We col­lect your data as a result of your shar­ing of your data with us. This may, for instance be infor­ma­tion you enter into our con­tact form.

Oth­er data shall be record­ed by our IT sys­tems auto­mat­i­cal­ly or after you con­sent to its record­ing dur­ing your web­site vis­it. This data com­pris­es pri­mar­i­ly tech­ni­cal infor­ma­tion (e.g., web brows­er, oper­at­ing sys­tem, or time the site was accessed). This infor­ma­tion is record­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly when you access this website.

What are the purposes we use your data for?

A por­tion of the infor­ma­tion is gen­er­at­ed to guar­an­tee the error free pro­vi­sion of the web­site. Oth­er data may be used to ana­lyze your user patterns.

What rights do you have as far as your information is concerned?

You have the right to receive infor­ma­tion about the source, recip­i­ents, and pur­pos­es of your archived per­son­al data at any time with­out hav­ing to pay a fee for such dis­clo­sures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, you have the option to revoke this con­sent at any time, which shall affect all future data pro­cess­ing. More­over, you have the right to demand that the pro­cess­ing of your data be restrict­ed under cer­tain cir­cum­stances. Fur­ther­more, you have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vis­ing agency.

Please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time if you have ques­tions about this or any oth­er data pro­tec­tion relat­ed issues.

2. Hosting

We are host­ing the con­tent of our web­site at the fol­low­ing provider:

IONOS

The provider is the IONOS SE, Elgen­dor­fer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Ger­many (here­inafter referred to as: IONOS). When­ev­er you vis­it our web­site, IONOS records var­i­ous log­files along with your IP address­es. For details, please con­sult the data pri­va­cy pol­i­cy of IONOS: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy.

We use IONOS on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Our com­pa­ny has a legit­i­mate inter­est in pre­sent­ing a web­site that is as depend­able as pos­si­ble. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

Data processing

We have con­clud­ed a data pro­cess­ing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-men­tioned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­dat­ed by data pri­va­cy laws that guar­an­tees that they process per­son­al data of our web­site vis­i­tors only based on our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very seri­ous­ly. Hence, we han­dle your per­son­al data as con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion and in com­pli­ance with the statu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this Data Pro­tec­tion Declaration.

When­ev­er you use this web­site, a vari­ety of per­son­al infor­ma­tion will be col­lect­ed. Per­son­al data com­pris­es data that can be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. This Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion explains which data we col­lect as well as the pur­pos­es we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which pur­pose the infor­ma­tion is collected.

We here­with advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Inter­net (i.e., through e‑mail com­mu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to secu­ri­ty gaps. It is not pos­si­ble to com­plete­ly pro­tect data against third-par­ty access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data pro­cess­ing con­troller on this web­site is:

Wel­tenburg­er Kloster­be­triebe GmbH
Asam­straße 32
93309 Weltenburg

Vertreten durch:
Abt Thomas M. Frei­hart OSB
Rolf Holthausen

Phone: 09441 6757–500
E‑mail: gaestehaus@kloster-weltenburg.de

The con­troller is the nat­ur­al per­son or legal enti­ty that sin­gle-hand­ed­ly or joint­ly with oth­ers makes deci­sions as to the pur­pos­es of and resources for the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data (e.g., names, e‑mail address­es, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more spe­cif­ic stor­age peri­od has been spec­i­fied in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, your per­son­al data will remain with us until the pur­pose for which it was col­lect­ed no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­tion or revoke your con­sent to data pro­cess­ing, your data will be delet­ed, unless we have oth­er legal­ly per­mis­si­ble rea­sons for stor­ing your per­son­al data (e.g., tax or com­mer­cial law reten­tion peri­ods); in the lat­ter case, the dele­tion will take place after these rea­sons cease to apply.

General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website

If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, we process your per­son­al data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if spe­cial cat­e­gories of data are processed accord­ing to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explic­it con­sent to the trans­fer of per­son­al data to third coun­tries, the data pro­cess­ing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have con­sent­ed to the stor­age of cook­ies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your end device (e.g., via device fin­ger­print­ing), the data pro­cess­ing is addi­tion­al­ly based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The con­sent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Fur­ther­more, if your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a legal oblig­a­tion, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Fur­ther­more, the data pro­cess­ing may be car­ried out on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est accord­ing to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­ma­tion on the rel­e­vant legal basis in each indi­vid­ual case is pro­vid­ed in the fol­low­ing para­graphs of this pri­va­cy policy.

Designation of a data protection officer

We have appoint­ed a data pro­tec­tion officer.

Wel­tenburg­er Kloster­be­triebe GmbH

E‑mail: datenschutz@kloster-weltenburg.de

Recipients of personal data

In the scope of our busi­ness activ­i­ties, we coop­er­ate with var­i­ous exter­nal par­ties. In some cas­es, this also requires the trans­fer of per­son­al data to these exter­nal par­ties. We only dis­close per­son­al data to exter­nal par­ties if this is required as part of the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract, if we are legal­ly oblig­at­ed to do so (e.g., dis­clo­sure of data to tax author­i­ties), if we have a legit­i­mate inter­est in the dis­clo­sure pur­suant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if anoth­er legal basis per­mits the dis­clo­sure of this data. When using proces­sors, we only dis­close per­son­al data of our cus­tomers on the basis of a valid con­tract on data pro­cess­ing. In the case of joint pro­cess­ing, a joint pro­cess­ing agree­ment is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data pro­cess­ing trans­ac­tions are pos­si­ble only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revoke at any time any con­sent you have already giv­en us. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data col­lec­tion that occurred pri­or to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of vio­la­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects are enti­tled to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry agency, in par­tic­u­lar in the mem­ber state where they usu­al­ly main­tain their domi­cile, place of work or at the place where the alleged vio­la­tion occurred. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any oth­er admin­is­tra­tive or court pro­ceed­ings avail­able as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process auto­mat­i­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract hand­ed over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machine-read­able for­mat. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to anoth­er con­troller, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly feasible.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

With­in the scope of the applic­a­ble statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions, you have the right to demand infor­ma­tion about your archived per­son­al data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the pur­pose of the pro­cess­ing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. If you have ques­tions about this sub­ject mat­ter or any oth­er ques­tions about per­son­al data, please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the impo­si­tion of restric­tions as far as the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data is con­cerned. To do so, you may con­tact us at any time. The right to demand restric­tion of pro­cess­ing applies in the fol­low­ing cases:

• In the event that you should dis­pute the cor­rect­ness of your data archived by us, we will usu­al­ly need some time to ver­i­fy this claim. Dur­ing the time that this inves­ti­ga­tion is ongo­ing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.
• If the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data was/is con­duct­ed in an unlaw­ful man­ner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your data instead of demand­ing the erad­i­ca­tion of this data.
• If we do not need your per­son­al data any longer and you need it to exer­cise, defend or claim legal enti­tle­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each oth­er. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose inter­ests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.

If you have restrict­ed the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archiv­ing – may be processed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to claim, exer­cise or defend legal enti­tle­ments or to pro­tect the rights of oth­er nat­ur­al per­sons or legal enti­ties or for impor­tant pub­lic inter­est rea­sons cit­ed by the Euro­pean Union or a mem­ber state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For secu­ri­ty rea­sons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fi­den­tial con­tent, such as pur­chase orders or inquiries you sub­mit to us as the web­site oper­a­tor, this web­site uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion pro­gram. You can rec­og­nize an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by check­ing whether the address line of the brows­er switch­es from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the brows­er line.

If the SSL or TLS encryp­tion is acti­vat­ed, data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If you are under an oblig­a­tion to share your pay­ment infor­ma­tion (e.g. account num­ber if you give us the author­i­ty to deb­it your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based con­tract with us, this infor­ma­tion is required to process payments.

Pay­ment trans­ac­tions using com­mon modes of pay­ing (Visa/MasterCard, deb­it to your bank account) are processed exclu­sive­ly via encrypt­ed SSL or TLS con­nec­tions. You can rec­og­nize an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by check­ing whether the address line of the brows­er switch­es from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the brows­er line.

If the com­mu­ni­ca­tion with us is encrypt­ed, third par­ties will not be able to read the pay­ment infor­ma­tion you share with us.

Rejection of unsolicited e‑mails

We here­with object to the use of con­tact infor­ma­tion pub­lished in con­junc­tion with the manda­to­ry infor­ma­tion to be pro­vid­ed in our Site Notice to send us pro­mo­tion­al and infor­ma­tion mate­r­i­al that we have not express­ly request­ed. The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unso­licit­ed send­ing of pro­mo­tion­al infor­ma­tion, for instance via SPAM messages.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

Our web­sites and pages use what the indus­try refers to as “cook­ies.” Cook­ies are small data pack­ages that do not cause any dam­age to your device. They are either stored tem­porar­i­ly for the dura­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion cook­ies) or they are per­ma­nent­ly archived on your device (per­ma­nent cook­ies). Ses­sion cook­ies are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed once you ter­mi­nate your vis­it. Per­ma­nent cook­ies remain archived on your device until you active­ly delete them, or they are auto­mat­i­cal­ly erad­i­cat­ed by your web browser.

Cook­ies can be issued by us (first-par­ty cook­ies) or by third-par­ty com­pa­nies (so-called third-par­ty cook­ies). Third-par­ty cook­ies enable the inte­gra­tion of cer­tain ser­vices of third-par­ty com­pa­nies into web­sites (e.g., cook­ies for han­dling pay­ment services).

Cook­ies have a vari­ety of func­tions. Many cook­ies are tech­ni­cal­ly essen­tial since cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the absence of these cook­ies (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of videos). Oth­er cook­ies may be used to ana­lyze user behav­ior or for pro­mo­tion­al purposes.

Cook­ies, which are required for the per­for­mance of elec­tron­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion trans­ac­tions, for the pro­vi­sion of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (e.g., for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or those that are nec­es­sary for the opti­miza­tion (required cook­ies) of the web­site (e.g., cook­ies that pro­vide mea­sur­able insights into the web audi­ence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a dif­fer­ent legal basis is cit­ed. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the stor­age of required cook­ies to ensure the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mized pro­vi­sion of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the stor­age of the cook­ies and sim­i­lar recog­ni­tion tech­nolo­gies has been request­ed, the pro­cess­ing occurs exclu­sive­ly on the basis of the con­sent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this con­sent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your brows­er in such a man­ner that you will be noti­fied any time cook­ies are placed and to per­mit the accep­tance of cook­ies only in spe­cif­ic cas­es. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cook­ies in cer­tain cas­es or in gen­er­al or acti­vate the delete-func­tion for the auto­mat­ic erad­i­ca­tion of cook­ies when the brows­er clos­es. If cook­ies are deac­ti­vat­ed, the func­tions of this web­site may be limited.

Which cook­ies and ser­vices are used on this web­site can be found in this pri­va­cy policy.

Consent with Usercentrics

This web­site uses the con­sent tech­nol­o­gy of User­centrics to obtain your con­sent to the stor­age of cer­tain cook­ies on your device or for the use of spe­cif­ic tech­nolo­gies, and to doc­u­ment the for­mer in a data pro­tec­tion com­pli­ant man­ner. The par­ty offer­ing this tech­nol­o­gy is User­centrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 München, Ger­many, web­site: https://usercentrics.com/ (here­inafter referred to as “User­centrics”).

When­ev­er you vis­it our web­site, the fol­low­ing per­son­al data will be trans­ferred to Usercentrics:

• Your declaration(s) of con­sent or your revo­ca­tion of your declaration(s) of consent
• Your IP address
• Infor­ma­tion about your browser
• Infor­ma­tion about your device
• The date and time you vis­it­ed our website
• Geolo­ca­tion

More­over, User­centrics shall store a cook­ie in your brows­er to be able to allo­cate your declaration(s) of con­sent or any revo­ca­tions of the for­mer. The data that are record­ed in this man­ner shall be stored until you ask us to erad­i­cate them, delete the User­centrics cook­ie or until the pur­pose for archiv­ing the data no longer exists. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any manda­to­ry legal reten­tion periods.

The User­centrics ban­ner on this web­site has been con­fig­ured with the assis­tance of eRecht24. This can be iden­ti­fied by the eRecht24 logo. To dis­play the eRecht24 logo in the ban­ner, a con­nec­tion to the image serv­er of eRecht24 will be estab­lished. In con­junc­tion with this, the IP address is also trans­ferred; how­ev­er, is only stored in anonymized form in the serv­er logs. The image serv­er of eRecht24 is locat­ed in Ger­many with a Ger­man provider. The ban­ner as such is pro­vid­ed exclu­sive­ly by Usercentrics.

User­centrics uses cook­ies to obtain the dec­la­ra­tions of con­sent man­dat­ed by law. The legal basis for the use of spe­cif­ic tech­nolo­gies is Art. 6(1)© GDPR.

Data processing

We have con­clud­ed a data pro­cess­ing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-men­tioned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­dat­ed by data pri­va­cy laws that guar­an­tees that they process per­son­al data of our web­site vis­i­tors only based on our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

Server log files

The provider of this web­site and its pages auto­mat­i­cal­ly col­lects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called serv­er log files, which your brows­er com­mu­ni­cates to us auto­mat­i­cal­ly. The infor­ma­tion comprises:

• The type and ver­sion of brows­er used
• The used oper­at­ing system
• Refer­rer URL
• The host­name of the access­ing computer
• The time of the serv­er inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with oth­er data sources.

This data is record­ed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the tech­ni­cal­ly error free depic­tion and the opti­miza­tion of the operator’s web­site. In order to achieve this, serv­er log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you sub­mit inquiries to us via our con­tact form, the infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed in the con­tact form as well as any con­tact infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed there­in will be stored by us in order to han­dle your inquiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­tions. We will not share this infor­ma­tion with­out your consent.

The pro­cess­ing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is relat­ed to the exe­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is nec­es­sary to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es the pro­cess­ing is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive pro­cess­ing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been request­ed; the con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The infor­ma­tion you have entered into the con­tact form shall remain with us until you ask us to erad­i­cate the data, revoke your con­sent to the archiv­ing of data or if the pur­pose for which the infor­ma­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have con­clud­ed our response to your inquiry). This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any manda­to­ry legal pro­vi­sions, in par­tic­u­lar reten­tion periods.

Use of the online booking tool DIRS21 from TourOnline AG

Our online pres­ence uses the online book­ing tool DIRS21 (here­inafter “OBT”) from TourOn­line AG to enable online book­ings of accom­mo­da­tion ser­vices and oth­er trav­el ser­vices, as well as to process inquiries.

TourOn­line AG
Bor­sigstraße 26
73249 Wer­nau, Ger­many (www.dirs21.de here­inafter referred to as “TOAG”).

With­in the frame­work of OBT, TOAG process­es the data as the controller.
The infor­ma­tion and pro­vi­sions on data pro­tec­tion can be found in TOAG’s data pro­tec­tion dec­la­ra­tion for the OBT, which you can call up at any time from the OBT or view at www.dirs21.de/datenschutz.

Request by e‑mail, telephone, or fax

If you con­tact us by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax, your request, includ­ing all result­ing per­son­al data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your request. We do not pass these data on with­out your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is relat­ed to the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or is required for the per­for­mance of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es, the data are processed on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive han­dling of inquiries sub­mit­ted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via con­tact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your con­sent to the stor­age or the pur­pose for the data stor­age laps­es (e.g. after com­ple­tion of your request). Manda­to­ry statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions — in par­tic­u­lar statu­to­ry reten­tion peri­ods — remain unaffected.

5. Social media

Facebook

We have inte­grat­ed ele­ments of the social net­work Face­book on this web­site. The provider of this ser­vice is Meta Plat­forms Ire­land Lim­it­ed, Mer­rion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ire­land. Accord­ing to Facebook’s state­ment the col­lect­ed data will be trans­ferred to the USA and oth­er third-par­ty coun­tries too.

An overview of the Face­book social media ele­ments is avail­able under the fol­low­ing link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

If the social media ele­ment has been acti­vat­ed, a direct con­nec­tion between your device and the Face­book serv­er will be estab­lished. As a result, Face­book will receive infor­ma­tion con­firm­ing your vis­it to this web­site with your IP address. If you click on the Face­book Like but­ton while you are logged into your Face­book account, you can link con­tent of this web­site to your Face­book pro­file. Con­se­quent­ly, Face­book will be able to allo­cate your vis­it to this web­site to your user account.

This web­site uses IONOS Web­An­a­lyt­ics analy­sis ser­vices. The provider of these ser­vices is 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgen­dor­fer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Ger­many. In con­junc­tion with the per­for­mance of analy­ses by IONOS, it is pos­si­ble to e.g., ana­lyze the num­ber of vis­i­tors and their behav­ior pat­terns dur­ing vis­its (e.g., num­ber of pages accessed, dura­tion of their vis­its to the web­site, per­cent­age of abort­ed vis­its), vis­i­tor ori­gins (i.e., from which site does the vis­i­tor arrive at our site), vis­i­tor loca­tions as well as tech­ni­cal data (brows­er and ses­sion of oper­at­ing sys­tem used). For these pur­pos­es, IONOS archives in par­tic­u­lar the fol­low­ing data:

• Refer­rer (pre­vi­ous­ly vis­it­ed website)
• Accessed page on the web­site or file
• Brows­er type and brows­er version
• Used oper­at­ing system
• Type of device used
• Web­site access time
• Anonymized IP address (used only to deter­mine the access location)

Accord­ing to IONOS, the data record­ed are com­plete­ly anonymized so they can­not be tracked back to indi­vid­u­als. IONOS Web­An­a­lyt­ics does not archive cookies.

The data are stored and ana­lyzed pur­suant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the sta­tis­ti­cal analy­sis of user pat­terns to opti­mize both, the operator’s web pre­sen­ta­tion as well as the operator’s pro­mo­tion­al activ­i­ties. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

Data processing

We have con­clud­ed a data pro­cess­ing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-men­tioned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­dat­ed by data pri­va­cy laws that guar­an­tees that they process per­son­al data of our web­site vis­i­tors only based on our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

7. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newslet­ter offered on the web­site, we require an e‑mail address from you as well as infor­ma­tion that allows us to ver­i­fy that you are the own­er of the e‑mail address pro­vid­ed and that you agree to receive the newslet­ter. Fur­ther data is not col­lect­ed or only on a vol­un­tary basis. For the han­dling of the newslet­ter, we use newslet­ter ser­vice providers, which are described below.

CleverReach

This web­site uses Clev­er­Reach for the send­ing of newslet­ters. The provider is the Clev­er­Reach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjück­en­weg 2, 26180 Rast­ede, Ger­many (here­inafter “Clev­er­Reach”). Clev­er­Reach is a ser­vice that can be used to orga­nize and ana­lyze the send­ing of newslet­ters. The data you have entered for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to our newslet­ter (e.g., e‑mail address) are stored on servers of Clev­er­Reach in Ger­many or in Ireland.

Newslet­ters we send out via Clev­er­Reach allow us to ana­lyze the user pat­terns of our newslet­ter recip­i­ents. Among oth­er things, in con­junc­tion with this, it is pos­si­ble how many recip­i­ents actu­al­ly opened the newslet­ter e‑mail and how often which link inside the newslet­ter has been clicked. With the assis­tance of a tool called Con­ver­sion Track­ing, we can also deter­mine whether an action that has been pre­de­fined in the newslet­ter actu­al­ly occurred after the link was clicked (e.g., pur­chase of a prod­uct on this web­site). For more infor­ma­tion on the data analy­sis ser­vices by Clev­er­Reach newslet­ters, please go to: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/features/reporting-tracking/.

The data is processed based on your con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any con­sent you have giv­en at any time by unsub­scrib­ing from the newslet­ter. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data pro­cess­ing trans­ac­tions that have tak­en place pri­or to your revocation.

If you do not want to per­mit an analy­sis by Clev­er­Reach, you must unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter. We pro­vide a link for you to do this in every newslet­ter message.

The data deposit­ed with us for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to the newslet­ter will be stored by us until you unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter or the newslet­ter ser­vice provider and delet­ed from the newslet­ter dis­tri­b­u­tion list after you unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter. Data stored for oth­er pur­pos­es with us remain unaffected.

After you unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter dis­tri­b­u­tion list, your e‑mail address may be stored by us or the newslet­ter ser­vice provider in a black­list, if such action is nec­es­sary to pre­vent future mail­ings. The data from the black­list is used only for this pur­pose and not merged with oth­er data. This serves both your inter­est and our inter­est in com­ply­ing with the legal require­ments when send­ing newslet­ters (legit­i­mate inter­est with­in the mean­ing of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The stor­age in the black­list is indef­i­nite. You may object to the stor­age if your inter­ests out­weigh our legit­i­mate interest.

For more details, please con­sult the Data Pro­tec­tion Pro­vi­sions of Clev­er­Reach at: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/privacy-policy/.

8. Plug-ins and Tools

YouTube with expanded data protection integration

This web­site inte­grates videos from the YouTube web­site. The oper­a­tor of the web­site is Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed (“Google”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you vis­it one of these web­sites on which YouTube is inte­grat­ed, a con­nec­tion to the YouTube servers is estab­lished. This tells the YouTube serv­er which of our pages you have vis­it­ed. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surf­ing behav­ior direct­ly to your per­son­al pro­file. You can pre­vent this by log­ging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in extend­ed data pro­tec­tion mode. Accord­ing to YouTube, videos that are played in extend­ed data pro­tec­tion mode are not used to per­son­al­ize brows­ing on YouTube. Ads that are played in extend­ed data pro­tec­tion mode are also not per­son­al­ized. No cook­ies are set in extend­ed data pro­tec­tion mode. Instead, so-called local stor­age ele­ments are stored in the user’s brows­er, which con­tain per­son­al data sim­i­lar to cook­ies and can be used for recog­ni­tion. Details on the extend­ed data pro­tec­tion mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

After acti­vat­ing a YouTube video, fur­ther data pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions may be trig­gered over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is based on our inter­est in pre­sent­ing our online con­tent in an appeal­ing man­ner. Pur­suant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legit­i­mate inter­est. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

For more infor­ma­tion on how YouTube han­dles user data, please con­sult the YouTube Data Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

For more infor­ma­tion, please con­tact the provider under the fol­low­ing link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.

Google Fonts (local embedding)

This web­site uses so-called Google Fonts pro­vid­ed by Google to ensure the uni­form use of fonts on this site. These Google fonts are local­ly installed so that a con­nec­tion to Google’s servers will not be estab­lished in con­junc­tion with this application.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (here­inafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on this web­site. The provider is Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed (“Google”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The pur­pose of reCAPTCHA is to deter­mine whether data entered on this web­site (e.g., infor­ma­tion entered into a con­tact form) is being pro­vid­ed by a human user or by an auto­mat­ed pro­gram. To deter­mine this, reCAPTCHA ana­lyzes the behav­ior of the web­site vis­i­tors based on a vari­ety of para­me­ters. This analy­sis is trig­gered auto­mat­i­cal­ly as soon as the web­site vis­i­tor enters the site. For this analy­sis, reCAPTCHA eval­u­ates a vari­ety of data (e.g., IP address, time the web­site vis­i­tor spent on the site or cur­sor move­ments ini­ti­at­ed by the user). The data tracked dur­ing such analy­ses are for­ward­ed to Google.

reCAPTCHA analy­ses run entire­ly in the back­ground. Web­site vis­i­tors are not alert­ed that an analy­sis is underway.

Data are stored and ana­lyzed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The web­site oper­a­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the pro­tec­tion of the operator’s web­sites against abu­sive auto­mat­ed spy­ing and against SPAM. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

For more infor­ma­tion about Google reCAPTCHA please refer to the Google Data Pri­va­cy Dec­la­ra­tion and Terms Of Use under the fol­low­ing links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.

9. eCommerce and payment service providers

Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We col­lect, process, and use per­son­al cus­tomer and con­tract data for the estab­lish­ment, con­tent arrange­ment and mod­i­fi­ca­tion of our con­trac­tu­al rela­tion­ships. Data with per­son­al ref­er­ences to the use of this web­site (usage data) will be col­lect­ed, processed, and used only if this is nec­es­sary to enable the user to use our ser­vices or required for billing pur­pos­es. The legal basis for these process­es is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The col­lect­ed cus­tomer data shall be delet­ed upon com­ple­tion of the order or ter­mi­na­tion of the busi­ness rela­tion­ship and upon expi­ra­tion of any exist­ing statu­to­ry archiv­ing peri­ods. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any statu­to­ry archiv­ing periods.

Data transfer upon closing of contracts for services and digital content

We share per­son­al data with third par­ties only if this is nec­es­sary in con­junc­tion with the han­dling of the con­tract; for instance, with the finan­cial insti­tu­tion tasked with the pro­cess­ing of payments.

Any fur­ther trans­fer of data shall not occur or shall only occur if you have express­ly con­sent­ed to the trans­fer. Any shar­ing of your data with third par­ties in the absence of your express con­sent, for instance for adver­tis­ing pur­pos­es, shall not occur.

The basis for the pro­cess­ing of data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which per­mits the pro­cess­ing of data for the ful­fil­ment of a con­tract or for pre-con­trac­tu­al actions.

Payment services

We inte­grate pay­ment ser­vices of third-par­ty com­pa­nies on our web­site. When you make a pur­chase from us, your pay­ment data (e.g. name, pay­ment amount, bank account details, cred­it card num­ber) are processed by the pay­ment ser­vice provider for the pur­pose of pay­ment pro­cess­ing. For these trans­ac­tions, the respec­tive con­trac­tu­al and data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­sions of the respec­tive providers apply. The use of the pay­ment ser­vice providers is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (con­tract pro­cess­ing) and in the inter­est of a smooth, con­ve­nient, and secure pay­ment trans­ac­tion (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Inso­far as your con­sent is request­ed for cer­tain actions, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis for data pro­cess­ing; con­sent may be revoked at any time for the future.

We use the fol­low­ing pay­ment ser­vices / pay­ment ser­vice providers with­in the scope of this website:

PayPal

The provider of this pay­ment ser­vice is Pay­Pal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boule­vard Roy­al, L‑2449 Lux­em­bourg (here­inafter “Pay­Pal”).

Data trans­mis­sion to the US is based on the Stan­dard Con­trac­tu­al Claus­es (SCC) of the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion. Details can be found here: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/pocpsa-full.

10. Custom Services

Handling applicant data

We offer web­site vis­i­tors the oppor­tu­ni­ty to sub­mit job appli­ca­tions to us (e.g., via e‑mail, via postal ser­vices on by sub­mit­ting the online job appli­ca­tion form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, pur­pose and use of the per­son­al data col­lect­ed from you in con­junc­tion with the appli­ca­tion process. We assure you that the col­lec­tion, pro­cess­ing, and use of your data will occur in com­pli­ance with the applic­a­ble data pri­va­cy rights and all oth­er statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions and that your data will always be treat­ed as strict­ly confidential.

Scope and purpose of the collection of data

If you sub­mit a job appli­ca­tion to us, we will process any affil­i­at­ed per­son­al data (e.g., con­tact and com­mu­ni­ca­tions data, appli­ca­tion doc­u­ments, notes tak­en dur­ing job inter­views, etc.), if they are required to make a deci­sion con­cern­ing the estab­lish­ment or an employ­ment rela­tion­ship. The legal grounds for the afore­men­tioned are § 26 BDSG accord­ing to Ger­man Law (Nego­ti­a­tion of an Employ­ment Rela­tion­ship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (Gen­er­al Con­tract Nego­ti­a­tions) and – pro­vid­ed you have giv­en us your con­sent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any con­sent giv­en at any time. With­in our com­pa­ny, your per­son­al data will only be shared with indi­vid­u­als who are involved in the pro­cess­ing of your job application.

If your job appli­ca­tion should result in your recruit­ment, the data you have sub­mit­ted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the pur­pose of imple­ment­ing the employ­ment rela­tion­ship in our data pro­cess­ing system.

Data Archiving Period

If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or with­draw your appli­ca­tion, we reserve the right to retain the data you have sub­mit­ted on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­ests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the appli­ca­tion pro­ce­dure (rejec­tion or with­draw­al of the appli­ca­tion). After­wards the data will be delet­ed, and the phys­i­cal appli­ca­tion doc­u­ments will be destroyed. The stor­age serves in par­tic­u­lar as evi­dence in the event of a legal dis­pute. If it is evi­dent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6‑month peri­od (e.g., due to an impend­ing or pend­ing legal dis­pute), dele­tion will only take place when the pur­pose for fur­ther stor­age no longer applies.

Longer stor­age may also take place if you have giv­en your agree­ment (Arti­cle 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statu­to­ry data reten­tion require­ments pre­clude the deletion.

Our social media appearances

This privacy policy applies to the following social media presence

• https://www.facebook.com/GaestehausWeltenburg/
• https://www.instagram.com/gaestehausstgeorg_weltenburg/

Data processing through social networks

We main­tain pub­licly avail­able pro­files in social net­works. The indi­vid­ual social net­works we use can be found below.

Social net­works such as Face­book, X etc. can gen­er­al­ly ana­lyze your user behav­ior com­pre­hen­sive­ly if you vis­it their web­site or a web­site with inte­grat­ed social media con­tent (e.g., like but­tons or ban­ner ads). When you vis­it our social media pages, numer­ous data pro­tec­tion-rel­e­vant pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions are trig­gered. In detail:

If you are logged in to your social media account and vis­it our social media page, the oper­a­tor of the social media por­tal can assign this vis­it to your user account. Under cer­tain cir­cum­stances, your per­son­al data may also be record­ed if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respec­tive social media por­tal. In this case, this data is col­lect­ed, for exam­ple, via cook­ies stored on your device or by record­ing your IP address.

Using the data col­lect­ed in this way, the oper­a­tors of the social media por­tals can cre­ate user pro­files in which their pref­er­ences and inter­ests are stored. This way you can see inter­est-based adver­tis­ing inside and out­side of your social media pres­ence. If you have an account with the social net­work, inter­est-based adver­tis­ing can be dis­played on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.

Please also note that we can­not retrace all pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions on the social media por­tals. Depend­ing on the provider, addi­tion­al pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions may there­fore be car­ried out by the oper­a­tors of the social media por­tals.

Our social media appear­ances should ensure the widest pos­si­ble pres­ence on the Inter­net. This is a legit­i­mate inter­est with­in the mean­ing of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analy­sis process­es ini­ti­at­ed by the social net­works may be based on diver­gent legal bases to be spec­i­fied by the oper­a­tors of the social net­works (e.g., con­sent with­in the mean­ing of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsibility and assertion of rights

If you vis­it one of our social media sites (e.g., Face­book), we, togeth­er with the oper­a­tor of the social media plat­form, are respon­si­ble for the data pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions trig­gered dur­ing this vis­it. You can in prin­ci­ple pro­tect your rights (infor­ma­tion, cor­rec­tion, dele­tion, lim­i­ta­tion of pro­cess­ing, data porta­bil­i­ty and com­plaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the oper­a­tor of the respec­tive social media por­tal (e.g., Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared respon­si­bil­i­ty with the social media por­tal oper­a­tors, we do not have full influ­ence on the data pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions of the social media por­tals. Our options are deter­mined by the com­pa­ny pol­i­cy of the respec­tive provider.

Storage time

The data col­lect­ed direct­ly from us via the social media pres­ence will be delet­ed from our sys­tems as soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your con­sent to the stor­age or the pur­pose for the data stor­age laps­es. Stored cook­ies remain on your device until you delete them. Manda­to­ry statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions — in par­tic­u­lar, reten­tion peri­ods — remain unaffected.

We have no con­trol over the stor­age dura­tion of your data that are stored by the social net­work oper­a­tors for their own pur­pos­es. For details, please con­tact the social net­work oper­a­tors direct­ly (e.g., in their pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, see below).

Your rights

You have the right to receive infor­ma­tion about the ori­gin, recip­i­ent and pur­pose of your stored per­son­al data at any time and free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data porta­bil­i­ty and the right to file a com­plaint with the respon­si­ble reg­u­la­to­ry agency. Fur­ther­more, you can request the cor­rec­tion, block­ing, dele­tion and, under cer­tain cir­cum­stances, the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.
