Data Transfer to a Third Party

As part of our responsibility to cooperate, we are obligated to provide data as stipulated by statutory regulations (e.g., Austrian Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), Austrian Registration Law (Meldegesetz), Austrian Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO), Austrian Code of Criminal Procedure (StPO), etc.) upon request. Other third parties only get involved to process your direct request (online booking, newsletter, etc.) and are only used if they uphold to the legal requirements.


IP-Anonymisation

We make use of the function “Activate the IP-Anonymisation” on this website. This results in a shortening of every IP address by Google within the members of the European Union or other member states part of this agreement outside the European Union. Only in exceptional cases are the complete IP addresses transferred to a Google server in the USA and then shortened. With permission from this website’s operator, Google uses this information to process the website usage to send reports regarding website activity and provide other services related to the use of the website and the internet to this website’s operator.


The IP address from your browser which is transferred via Google Analytics is not merged with other data from other Google services.
We process this data anonymously and solely for statistical purposes to further optimise our internet presence and to make our service more attractive to our users. This data is saved separately from any other personal data on secure systems. Conclusions on individuals are not drawn.

 

Fonts

The used fonts are without exception loaded from our agency server (located in Germany). Personal data of visitos neither saved nor evaluated.

 

Social media plug-ins

The establishment uses embedded social media plug-ins on its website (interfaces to social networks). When you visit its website, the system uses the plug-ins to automatically establish a connection to the respective social network and transfers the data (IP address, website visit, etc.).


The establishment does not assist with the data transfer and is not responsible for the transfer. The user can prevent the transfer of this data by logging out of his social networks before visiting the website. The social network is able to link specific data to the activity profile of the user through automatic data transfer only when the user is logged in.


The automatically transferred data is used exclusively by the social network providers and not by the tourist accommodation establishment. More information, including information about the content of the data being collected by social networks, can be found directly on the website of the respective social network. Changes to social media privacy settings can also be made there.
