We are happy to you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest in our hotel. The protection of your personal information is important to us. That is why processing of personal information, such as for example the name, address, email address or phone number of a person concerned is carried out according to the applicable European and national statutory regulations.

If processing of personal information is required and if there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.

You may of course revoke your declaration(s) of consent at any time with an effect for the future. To do so please contact the controller. Contact information can be found at the end of this data privacy statement.

With the following, Congress Hotel am Stadtpark GmbH & Co. KG would like to inform the public regarding the type, scope and purpose of personal information processed by the company. Furthermore, persons concerned are informed by means of this data privacy statement regarding their rights.

Definitions

The data privacy statement of Congress Hotel am Stadtpark GmbH & Co. KG is based on the concept used by the European body issuing directives and regulations when issuing the European General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “EU DSGVO”). We want our data privacy statement to be easy to read and understand by the public as well as our guests and business partners. To guarantee such, we would like to explain in advance the used definitions.

The following terms are used in this data privacy statement and on our website:

Personal information is all information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “person concerned”). A natural person is deemed identifiable who can be identified in a direct or indirect fashion, in particular via association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location information, online identification or to one or several special features that are the expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychic, economic, cultural or social identify of this natural person.

Person concerned is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal information is processed by the person or party responsible for such processing.

Processing is any process carried out with or without the help of automated procedures or any such sequence of procedures in connection with personal information such as the collection, recording, organizing, filing, storing, adjusting or changing, reading out, retrieving, use, disclosure via transmission, distribution or another form of provisioning, the comparison or linking, the limitation, deletion or destruction.

Limitation of processing is the marking of stored personal information with the goal to restrict its future processing.

Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal information that consists in the fact that this personal information is used to assess certain personal aspects related to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects pertaining to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, place of residence or change in the place of residence of this natural person.

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal information in a way according to which such personal information cannot be associated any longer with a specific person concerned without the inclusion of additional information provided that such additional information is stored separately and that it is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal information is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body who, alone or together with others, determines the purposes and means of processing of personal information. If the purposes and means of such processing are prescribed by European Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his nomination may be designated according to European Union law or the law of the Member States.

Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body who processes the personal information on behalf of the controller.

Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body personal information is disclosed to, independent of the fact whether such is a third party. However, authorities who potentially receive personal information in line with a certain request for investigation according to European Union law or the law of the Member States are not deemed a recipient.

Third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body besides the person concerned, the controller, the processor and the persons who under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor are authorized to process the personal information.

Consent is any statement of intent made voluntarily by the person concerned for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous fashion in the form of a declaration or another clear and confirming action with which the person concerned makes it understood that such person concerned agrees with the processing of personal information affecting the person concerned.

Registration (e.g. via our contact form)

The person concerned has the option to register on the website of the controller while using personal information. Which personal information is transmitted to the controller is the result of the respective input mask used for registration. Personal information entered by the person concerned is exclusively used internally by the controller and collected and stored for proprietary purposes. The controller may initiate the forwarding of such personal information to one or several processors (for example a parcel service) who also only uses the personal information for internal use attributed to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the person concerned, the date as well as the time of registration is stored. Storing of such data is made against the background that only this way the abuse of our services can only be prevented, and that such data may help, if necessary, to uncover criminal offenses that were committed as well as copyright infringement. In this respect, storing of such data is required to protect the controller. Forwarding of such data to third parties is in principle not carried out unless the statutory obligation to forward such data exists or if forwarding of such data may aid law enforcement.

The registration of the person concerned under the voluntary indication of personal information helps the controller to offer to the person concerned content or services that by the very nature can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons have the option to have personal information that was indicated during registration completely deleted from the database of the controller.

Upon request, the controller shall at all times disclose to any person concerned which personal information is stored in view of such person concerned. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal information at the request or indication of the person concerned unless this conflicts with the statutory obligation to preserve records.

Contact

Personal information is also processed by Congress Hotel am Stadtpark GmbH & Co. KG if you disclose such personal information. For example, this happens any time you contact us. Personal information transmitted in this fashion is naturally only used for the purpose for which you have provided such information while contacting us. Disclosing such information is carried out strictly on a voluntary basis and with your consent. To the extent that this pertains to information regarding communication channels (for example email address, phone number) you also give your consent that, if applicable, we may contact you via such communication channels to answer your inquiry.

Comment functions

In line with the comment function we collect personal information (e.g. name, email address) in line with your commenting on a post only to the extent this was submitted by you. When a comment is published, the email address indicated by you is stored, however, not published. Your name is published if you did not use a pseudonym to submit your comment.

Data security

Congress Hotel am Stadtpark GmbH & Co. KG takes various technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful deletion, change or against loss and against the unauthorized forwarding or unauthorized access.

Nevertheless, for example Internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, any person is free to transmit personal information also by way of alternative channels, such as for example via phone.
