II Rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the processed data, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR)

to rectification or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);

the immediate erasure of the data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR) or, alternatively, if further processing is required in accordance with Art. 17 para. 3 GDPR, the restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;

to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transfer this data to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR)

to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in breach of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any correction or deletion of data or the restriction of processing that takes place on the basis of Articles 16, 17 para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permitted.

III. Informationen zur Datenverarbeitung

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your Internet browser. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you have switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which our Internet presence is used are collected, among other things.

The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data about you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is excluded from deletion in whole or in part until an incident has been finally clarified.

Cookies

a) Session cookies/session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies are used to process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, on an individual basis.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping basket function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract fulfilment.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or fulfil a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.

b) Third-party cookies

Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysing or the functionalities of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.

c) Removal option

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your e-mail address and – optionally – your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send you the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter – in particular, it is therefore not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your cancellation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter.

Contact enquiries / contact option

If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your enquiry. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your enquiry – without it we cannot answer your enquiry or can only answer it to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your enquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

HolidayCheck Widget

Web widgets from HolidayCheck AG Bahnweg 8 CH-8598 Bottighofen Switzerland are integrated on our website. Web widgets (widgets -> things) are small programmes that are integrated into the website and display information from other websites.

The content displayed on our website (ratings/recommendation rate) is always retrieved from the HolidayCheck servers. For this to work technically, data must be exchanged between the two servers involved. This includes the date and time of the visit; the page from which the request is made; the Internet Protocol address (IP address) used, browser type and version, device type, operating system and similar technical information.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. By providing this service, we deliver up-to-date and correct content on our website. The processed data is only used to provide the content or to transmit data that you provide when you submit a rating directly on our website. They are not processed in any other way, in particular not to analyse user behaviour.

We do not store the above-mentioned data as part of this processing. We use Google Fonts to design the widgets. For this purpose, your IP address is transmitted to the Google servers in the USA. The EU-US Privacy Shield serves as a guarantee in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. By using the fonts, we ensure the consistent display of the widgets. Information on data processing by HolidayCheck AG can be found in the privacy policy at www.holidaycheck.de/datenschutz
