COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION

Every time the website of Seetor Invest Betriebsgesellschaft Neuruppin Hotel GmbH (S.I.B.N. Hotel GmbH) is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a range of general data and information is collected. This general data and information is saved in server log files. The data that can be recorded includes (1) the browser type and versions used, (2) the operating system, (3) the website that directed you to our website (so-called referral site), (4) the pages of our website that you visit, (5) the date and time you accessed our website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider and (8) other similar data and information, which can help us to secure our information technology systems in the case of an attack.

When it comes to the use of this general data and information, S.I.B.N. Hotel GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. The information is instead used (1) to correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) to optimise the contents of our website and advertising, (3) to guarantee the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology and (4) to be able to provide law enforcement bodies with the information required for criminal proceedings in the case of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is evaluated by S.I.B.N. Hotel GmbH for statistical purposes and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company to be able to provide an optimum level of protection for the personal data that we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all of the personal data that is provided by a data subject.

PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing operations within our company for which we request consent for a specific purpose of processing. If it is necessary to process personal data to fulfil a contract for which the data subject is the contractual party, as is the case for the processing operations necessary to supply goods or to fulfil a service or return service for example, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfil fiscal obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, it may be required to process personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This could be the case if a visitor is injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance information or other vital information needs to be passed onto a doctor, a hospital or another third party. In this case, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations can be based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal justifications, if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, insofar as the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overriding. We are permitted to carry out processing operations such as these as they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislature. In this respect, the legislature took the view that it could be a legitimate interest if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (recital 47 sentence 2 of the GDPR).

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

Each data subject, whose personal data is processed, has the right to information from the controller about the personal data concerned in compliance with Art. 15 of the GDPR, the right to rectification in compliance with Art. 16 of the GDPR, the right to erasure in compliance with Art. 17 of the GDPR, the right to restriction of processing in compliance with Art. 18 of the GDPR, the right to object to the processing in compliance with Art. 21 of the GDPR and the right to data portability in compliance with Art. 20 of the GDPR. The restrictions cited in §§ 34 and 35 of the latest Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply to the right to information and the right to erasure.

OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is, in part, required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual stipulations (e.g. Information for the contractual partner). From time to time, the person affected may have to provide us with personal data that we need to process to conclude a contract. The person affected is, for example, obligated to provide us with personal data if they conclude a contract with our company. If the person affected does not provide the personal data, it may mean that the contract cannot be concluded with them. Prior to providing personal data, the person affected must contact one of our members of staff. Our staff will inform the person affected whether the provision of personal data is required by law or by contract, or whether it is necessary to conclude the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of not providing the personal data.

RETENTION PERIOD FOR THE PERSONAL DATA

The period of time for which the personal data is saved is dictated by the applicable statutory retention period. Once this retention period has elapsed, the relevant data is routinely deleted, insofar as it is no longer required to fulfil or initiate a contract.

ERASURE AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA

The party responsible for processing only processes and saves the personal data of the data subject for the period for which it is required to fulfil the purpose of saving the data or insofar as it is stipulated by the European legislature or another legislator in laws or regulations, which the processing party is subject to.

If the purpose for saving the data lapses or the retention period prescribed by the European legislature or another legislator elapses, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in line with the legal requirements.

RIGHT TO OBJECT

If data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) (data processing to protect legitimate interests), the data subject has the right to object to the processing at any time. This right predominantly applies to data processing for marketing purposes. In this case, we will no longer process the personal data, unless there are demonstrable, compelling and legitimate reasons for the processing, which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

The revocation does not need to be presented using a specific form and should be sent to our Data Protection Officer.

COOKIES

Our website uses cookies. These are small files, which are automatically generated by your browser and which are saved on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not damage your device; they do not contain any viruses, Trojan files or other harmful software. The cookie stores information relating directly to the specific device in question. This does not mean, however, that we can use the cookies to reveal your identity.

Cookies are also used to enhance the user experience for our website; to collect statistics to analyse the use of our website; and to optimise our website for you.

You can set up your browser so cookies are only saved if you agree to it. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can, however, configure your browser so that cookies are not stored on your computer or so that you always see a warning message before a new cookie is saved. Fully deactivating cookies can, however, limit the functionality of our website

DATA TRANSFERS TO THIRD COUNTRIES

In some instances, we transfer personal data to a third country outside of the EU. We have taken measures to ensure that there is an appropriate level of data protection: in the case of Google (USA), the applicable participation in the Privacy Shield agreement (Art. 45(1) of the GDPR) ensures an appropriate level of data protection.

The transfer of personal data to places in countries outside of the European Union (so-called third countries) takes place where:

(a) it is necessary to process your reservation and your stay at our hotel,
(b) it is legally required or
(c) you have given your consent.

Subscribing to our newsletter

The Resort Mark Brandenburg website gives users the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data that is transferred to the body responsible for the processing when you subscribe to the newsletter comes from the newsletter sign-up form.

The Resort Mark Brandenburg uses a newsletter to provide its customers and business partners with information about the company’s offers and services on a regular basis. Our company newsletter can only be received by the person affected if (1) the person affected has a valid email address and (2) the person affected has registered to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will first be sent to the email address entered by the person affected to subscribe to the newsletter as part of the double opt-in process. This confirmation email serves to ensure that the owner of the email address has authorised the reception of the newsletter as the person affected.

Furthermore, when you register for the newsletter, we save the IP address provided by the internet service provider (ISP), the computer system used by the data subject at the time of the registration and the date and time of the registration. This data is necessary to be able to identify the (possible) misuse of the email address of the person affected at a later date and thus serves as a legal safeguard for the party responsible for processing the data.

The personal data collected during the newsletter subscription process is solely used to send the newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may receive further emails, if these are necessary to operate the newsletter service or a related registration, as in the case of changes to the newsletter service or in the case of a change to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is not passed onto third parties. The data subject can cancel their newsletter subscription at any time. The consent to save the personal data provided by the data subject for the newsletter subscription can be withdrawn at any time. Each newsletter contains a link for the purpose of withdrawing this consent. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter on the website of the party responsible for the processing, or to inform the party responsible for the processing in another manner.

Contacting us via the website

In line with legal regulations, the Resort Mark Brandenburg website contains information that makes it possible to contact our company electronically and to communicate with us directly; this also includes a general address for the so-called electronic post (email address). Insofar as a data subject contacts the party responsible for the processing via email or a contact form, the personal data of the data subject will be automatically saved. Personal data provided to the party responsible for processing by a data subject is saved for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed onto third parties.

INTEGRATION OF SERVICES AND CONTENT BY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS (E.G. YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE MAPS)

Our website contains third-party content, such as videos from YouTube and maps from Google Maps (hereinafter called “third-party providers”). In order to use this content, the IP address of the user must be transferred to the respective third-party provider for technical reasons. Without this IP address, the third-party content integrated into the website cannot be sent to the browser of the respective user. We have no influence over whether a third-party provider saves the IP address for statistical purposes etc. or uses it for another purpose.

Data protection provisions concerning the use of Google AdWords

The party responsible for processing has installed Google AdWords on this website. Google Adwords is an online advertising service, which allows advertisers to display ads within the search engine results on Google and within the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to predefine keywords that will display an ad on Google’s search engine results only when the search engine retrieves a keyword-related search result. On the Google advertising network, ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automated algorithm and according to predefined keywords.

The company operating the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of Google’s search engine, and by displaying third-party ads on our website.

If the data subject arrives on our website via a Google advert, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored on the data subject’s information technology system by Google. Please see above for more information on cookies. A conversion cookie expires after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. Provided the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to trace whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping basket of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie tells us and Google whether any revenue was generated by a data subject who arrived on our website via an AdWords ad, i.e. if they completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to provide visitor statistics for our website. We then use these visitor statistics to determine the total number of users who have been directed to us through AdWords ads in order to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor any other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal data, such as the web pages visited by the data subject. Every time someone visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may disclose personal data collected through this technical process to third parties.

As mentioned above, the data subject can prevent our website from placing cookies at any time by adjusting their web browser’s settings to permanently refuse cookies. Adjusting the browser’s settings in this way would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already placed by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time through a web browser or other software program.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to Google’s interest-based advertising. To do this, the data subject must visit www.google.com/settings/ads from each of the web browsers they use and change the settings there as desired.

Additional information and Google’s Privacy Policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
