Transfer of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only share your personal information with third parties if:
You have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR,
the transfer is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation to disclose the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) EU GDPR, as well as
if this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) EU GDPR.
We sometimes use external service providers (known as processors) to process your data. These are carefully selected by us, are bound by our instructions, and are contractually obliged in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR or on the basis of the European Commission's standard contractual clauses to take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. Order processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of a corresponding contract in order to ensure the protection of your personal data.
Data is transferred to third parties, namely service providers and their assistants, some of whom offer cloud-based software and data processing solutions for the hotel, and who process guest data on behalf of the hotel for the purpose of enabling and executing the guest's booking; carrying out the guest's stay; tailoring the stay to the guest's wishes and interests; the ability to offer services in line with the guest's interests in the future; marketing in connection with the hotel's services and improving the hotel's services, such as guest reviews, evaluating and processing.
Within the scope of these processing operations and those described in the following privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the United States. Companies in the United States only have an adequate level of data protection if they are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus subject to the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 EU GDPR. We have explicitly mentioned this in the privacy policy for the service providers concerned. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49(1)(a) EU GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 EU GDPR.

MARA Solutions
Use of artificial intelligence to analyse and process guest feedback
We use the AI application MARA Solutions to support our guest communications and quality management.
MARA Solutions helps us to process guest reviews that guests publish on publicly accessible review platforms such as Google, Booking.com or similar portals. Based on the feedback published by the guest, the application generates suggestions for personalised replies. The creation of these draft replies is not automated but is initiated by our staff. The suggested replies generated by MARA Solutions are reviewed by our staff before publication, adjusted where necessary, and only then published manually. There is no decision-making or communication with guests that is carried out exclusively by automated means. Furthermore, we use MARA Solutions to carry out statistical analysis of guest feedback. This enables us to identify recurring themes, trends and potential areas for improvement from the reviews, with a view to continuously enhancing the quality of our service. Processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of publicly available content that guests themselves have published on the respective review platforms. Review data is not transferred to our hotel management system, nor is it linked to individual guest profiles. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the efficient processing of guest feedback, the improvement of our service quality and the optimisation of our internal quality processes. Where MARA Solutions processes personal data on our behalf, such processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. No automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR takes place.

This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. The processing and transmission of your data (IP address, connection data) to Google is based on your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
When you visit subpages that include Google Maps, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the United States and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this assignment to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures an adequate level of data protection. Insofar as the processing does not fall within the scope of the Framework, we transfer the data to the United States on the basis of your express consent, in accordance with Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. We take the measures that are possible and necessary under data protection law in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR to establish the level of data protection in the third country.
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you can completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and, thus, also the map display on this website cannot be used. For more information on the collection and use of data by Google, please refer to Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. You also have the option of changing your settings in the privacy centre so that you can manage and protect your data processed by Google.

Google Tag Manager
On this website we use the Google Tag Manager service. The operating company of Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Through this tool, "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.
The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have set a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.
Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy notice can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Amandment of the privacy notice
We reserve the right to update the privacy notice from time to time with effect for the future, in particular in the event of further development of the website, the use of new technologies or changes in the legal basis or the relevant case law.
