Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and data protection. Furthermore, these persons are only granted access to the personal data to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of their tasks.
Our security measures are continuously adapted in line with technological developments. However, the transmission of information via the Internet and electronic means of communication always involves certain security risks and we cannot provide an absolute guarantee for the security of information transmitted in this way.
Contact us
If you contact us via our contact addresses and channels (e.g. by e-mail, telephone or contact form), your personal data will be processed. The data you have provided us with, e.g. the name of your company, your name, your function, your e-mail address or telephone number and your request, will be processed. In addition, the time of receipt of the request will be documented. Data that it is mandatory you provide are marked with an asterisk (*) in the relevant contact form.
We process this data exclusively in order to implement your requests (e.g. providing information about our Hotel, support in the processing of a contract such as questions regarding your booking, incorporating your feedback into the improvement of our service, etc.). The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in the implementation of your request or, if your request is directed towards the conclusion or execution of a contract, the necessity for the implementation of the required measures within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-GDPR.
Use of your data for marketing purposes
Central data storage and analysis in our CRM system
If it is possible to clearly identify you, we will store and link the data described in this privacy policy, in particular your personal details, your contact details, your contract details and your surfing behaviour on our websites, in a central database. This serves the efficient administration of customer data, allows us to adequately respond to your requests and enables the efficient provision of the services you have requested and the processing of the associated contracts. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in the efficient management of user data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR.
We evaluate this data in order to further develop our offers in a needs-oriented manner and to display and suggest the most relevant information and offers to you. We also use methods that predict possible interests and potential future orders based on your website use. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in carrying out marketing measures.
E-mail marketing and newsletters
If yo register for our e-mail newsletter (e.g. when opening or within your customer account), the following data will be collected. Mandatory data is marked with an asterisk (*) in the registration form:
- E-mail address
- Salutation
- First and last name
- Language
In order to avoid misuse and to ensure that the owner of an e-mail address has actually given their consent, we use a double opt-in procedure for registration. After sending the registration form, you will receive an e-mail from us containing a confirmation link. In order to definitely register for the newsletter, you must click on this link. If you do not click on the confirmation link within the specified period, your data will be deleted again and our newsletter will not be sent to this address.
By registering, you consent to the processing of your data in order to receive messages from us about our Hotel, our offers and related products and services. This may also include invitations to participate in competitions or to evaluate our products and services. The collection of the salutation and name allows us to verify any link between the registration and a possibly already existing customer account and to personalise the content of our messages to you. The link to a customer account helps us to make the offers and content contained in the newsletter more relevant to you and better tailored to your potential needs.
We will use your data to email you until you revoke your consent. Revocation is possible at any time, in particular via the unsubscribe link in all our marketing emails.
Our marketing emails may contain a so-called web beacon or 1x1 pixel (tracking pixel) or similar technical tools. A web beacon is an invisible graphic that is linked to the user ID of the respective newsletter subscriber. For each marketing email sent, we receive information on which addresses have not yet received the email, to which addresses it was sent and for which addresses the sending failed. We also see which addresses have opened the email, for how long and which links they have clicked on. Finally, we receive information about which addresses have unsubscribed. We use this data for statistical purposes and to optimise our promotional emails in terms of frequency, timing, structure and content. This allows us to better tailor the information and offers in our emails to the individual interests of recipients.
The web beacon is deleted when you delete the email. To prevent the use of the web beacon in our marketing emails, please set the parameters of your email program so that HTML is not displayed in messages if this is not already the case by default. In the help section of your email software you will find information on how to configure this setting, e.g. here for Microsoft Outlook.
By subscribing to the newsletter, you also consent to the statistical evaluation of user behaviour for the purpose of optimising and adapting the newsletter. This consent constitutes our legal basis for the processing of your data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR.
We use the following email marketing softwares:
ReGuest by ReGuest srl ¦ Via A. Kuperion 34 ¦ Merano 39012 ¦ Italy – for offers and booking confirmations
Straiv by straiv GmbH ¦ Eichwiesenring 4f ¦ 70567 Stuttgart ¦ Germany– for pre-arrival emails und online check-in
Revinate by Revinate LLC ¦ Kerkstraat 342H ¦ 1017JA Amsterdam ¦ Netherlands – for post-stay emails and questionnaires
Your data will be stored in a database of the above listed companies which allows them to access your data if this is necessary for the provision of the software and for support in the use of the software. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in the use of third-party services
Disclosure to third parties and access by third parties
Without the support of other companies, we would not be able to provide our services in the desired form. In order for us to be able to use the services of these companies, it is also necessary to pass on your personal data to a certain extent. Such a transfer takes place to the extent that it is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract requested by you, for example to restaurants or other third parties for which you have made a reservation. The legal basis for these disclosures is the necessity for the performance of the contract within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-GDPR.
Furthermore, data is passed on to selected service providers, but only to the extent necessary for the provision of their services. Various third party service providers are explicitly mentioned in this privacy policy, e.g. in the sections on marketing. These are, for example, IT service providers (such as providers of software solutions), advertising agencies and consultancies. Furthermore, we transmit your data to companies affiliated with us in the group (cf. imprint). Our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in the procurement of third-party services forms the legal basis for this data transfer.
In addition, your data may be disclosed to authorities, legal advisors or debt collection agencies, if we are legally obliged to do so or if this is necessary to protect our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from our relationship with you. Data may also be disclosed if another company intends to acquire our company or parts thereof and such disclosure is necessary to carry out due diligence or to complete the transaction. The legal basis for this data transfer is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in safeguarding our rights and complying with our obligations or the sale of our company.
Transfer of personal data abroad
We are entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties abroad if this is necessary to carry out the data processing mentioned in this Privacy Policy (see in particular Sections 12-15). In doing so, we will of course comply with the statutory provisions on the disclosure of personal data to third parties. If the country in question does not have an adequate level of data protection, we guarantee through contractual regulations that your data is adequately protected by the recipients.
Retention periods
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to carry out the processing explained in this Privacy Policy within the scope of our legitimate interest. In the case of contractual data, storage is required by statutory retention obligations. Requirements that oblige us to retain data result from the provisions on accounting and from tax law regulations. According to these regulations, business communications, concluded contracts and accounting vouchers must be stored for up to 10 years. As far as we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used if this is necessary to fulfil the retention obligations or to defend and enforce our legal interests. The data is deleted as soon as there is no longer any obligation to retain it and we no longer have any legitimate interest in retaining it.

Social media
Social media profiles
On our website, we have included links to our profiles in the social networks of the following providers:
- Meta Platforms Inc, 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;
- Instagram Inc. 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA;
- Linkedin Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
When you click on the icon of a social network on our website, you are automatically redirected to our profile in the respective network. This establishes a direct connection between your browser and the server of the respective social network. This provides the network with the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and clicked on the link
If you click on a link to a network while you are logged into your user account with the network in question, the content of our website may be linked to your profile so that the network can assign your visit to our website directly to your account. If you want to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on the relevant links. A connection between your access to our website and your user account takes place in any case if you log in to the respective network after clicking on the link. The respective provider is responsible under data protection law for the associated data processing. Please note the information on the relevant network's website.
The legal basis for any data processing attributed to us in this regard is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in the use and promotion of our social media profiles.
Social Media Plugins
On our website, you can use social plugins from the providers listed below:
- Meta Platforms Inc, 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, Privacy Policy;
- Instagram Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, Privacy Notice;
- Linkedin Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, Privacy Notice.
We use the social plugins to make it easier for you to share content from our website. The social plugins help us to increase the visibility of our content on social networks and thus contribute to better promotion of our offerings.
The plugins are deactivated by default on our websites and therefore do not send any data to the social networks when you simply call up our website. To increase data protection, we have integrated the plugins in such a way that a connection is not automatically established with the network’s servers. Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the transmission and further processing of data by the providers of the social networks, does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network.
The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the social network and integrated into the website by it. This provides the respective provider with the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an account with this social network or are not currently logged in to it. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a server of the provider (usually in the USA) and stored there. We have no influence on the scope of the data that the provider collects with the plugin, although from a data protection perspective we can to a certain extent be considered jointly responsible with the relevant social network provider.
If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information (e.g. that you like a product or service of ours) may also be published on the social network and possibly displayed to other users of the social network. The provider of the social network may use this information for the purpose of placing advertisements and designing a respective offering according to your interests. For this purpose, usage, interest and relationship profiles could be created, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on the social network, to inform other users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of the social network. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers of the social networks, as well as your rights in this regard and options for changing your settings to protect your privacy can be found directly in the data protection information of the respective provider.
If you do not want the provider of the social network to assign the data collected via our website to your user account, you must log out of the social network before activating the plugins. Your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR forms the legal basis for the data processing described. You can revoke your consent at any time by declaring your revocation to the provider of the plugin in accordance with the information in their data protection notice.
Online advertising and targeting
In general
We use services of various companies to provide you with interesting offers online. In the process of doing this, your user behaviour on our website and websites of other providers is analysed in order to subsequently be able to show you online advertising that is individually tailored to you.
Most technologies for tracking your user behaviour and targeting advertisements work with cookies (see also Section 11), which can be used to recognise your browser across different websites. Depending on the service provider, it may also be possible for you to be recognised online even when using different end devices (e.g. laptop and smartphone). This may be the case, for example, if you have registered for a service that you use with several devices.
In addition to the data already mentioned, which is collected when websites are called up ("log file data", see Section 10) and the use of cookies (Section 11) and which may be passed on to the companies involved in the advertising networks, the following data in particular is used to select the advertising that is potentially most relevant to you:
- Information about you that you provided when registering or using a service from advertising partners (e.g. your gender, age group);
- User behaviour (e.g. search queries, interactions with advertising, types of websites visited, products/services viewed and purchased, newsletters subscribed to).
We and our service providers use this data to identify whether you belong to the target group we address and take this into account when selecting the advertisements. For example, after you have visited our site, you may be shown advertisements of the products or services you have consulted when you visit other sites ("re-targeting"). Depending on the scope of the data, a user's profile may also be created, which is evaluated automatically, and the ads are selected according to the information stored in the profile, such as membership of certain demographic segments or potential interests or behaviours. Such ads may be presented to you on various channels, which include, in addition to our website or app (as part of onsite and in-app marketing), ads provided through the online advertising networks we use, such as Google.
The data may then be analysed for the purpose of billing the service provider and assessing the effectiveness of advertising measures in order to better understand the needs of our users and customers and to improve future campaigns. This may also include information that the taking of an action (e.g. visiting certain sections of our website or sending information) is due to a particular advertising ad. We also receive aggregated reports from service providers of ad activity and information about how users interact with our website and ads.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by rejecting or deactivating the relevant cookies in the settings of your web browser (see Section 11). You can also find further options for blocking advertising in the information provided by the respective service provider, such as Google.
