2. Data We Collect and Why
Contact form
When you submit an enquiry via our contact form, we collect the information you provide (e.g. name, email address, travel dates, number of guests, and your message). This data is used solely to process and respond to your enquiry.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — processing is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
Server log files
When you visit this website your browser automatically transmits data that is stored in server log files. This includes: IP address, date and time of access, pages visited, browser type and version, and referring URL. This data is used solely to ensure the security, stability, and correct functioning of the website and is not linked to any individual person.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of this website. Log files are deleted automatically after 14 days.
Spam protection — hCaptcha
Our contact form uses hCaptcha, a service provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., 2211 Selig Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90026, USA. hCaptcha analyses certain technical signals from your browser (e.g. IP address, mouse movements, browser fingerprint) to verify that the form is being submitted by a human and not an automated script. This may involve data being transferred to servers in the United States. A data processing agreement is in place with Intuition Machines, Inc. For further information see the hCaptcha Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in protecting our systems and users from spam and abuse.
Cookies
This website uses only technically necessary cookies — specifically a session cookie used for security purposes (CSRF protection) when you submit the contact form. This cookie is temporary and is deleted when you close your browser. No analytics, advertising, tracking, or third-party cookies are used. Technically necessary cookies do not require your consent (§ 25(2) TTDSG).
3. Data Retention
Contact enquiry data is retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting booking. Where a booking agreement is concluded, data is retained in accordance with statutory commercial and tax law retention obligations (up to 10 years under HGB / AO). Server log files are deleted automatically after 14 days.
4. Disclosure to Third Parties
Your personal data is not disclosed to third parties unless required by law or necessary to fulfil a contract. hCaptcha processes certain technical data as described in section 2.
5. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. Our website is served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our services. The current version is always available on this page.
