4. Consent management
On your first visit you can decide whether analytics, marketing and external media may be loaded. Necessary functions are always active. Your selection, including the time and version, is stored under seegeniessen-consent-v3 locally in your browser for a maximum of 180 days. A new selection is required after expiry or changes to the consent information. We do not store the selection in our own central visitor database. It can be changed at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer. Storage enables us to honour your choice. The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and § 25(2)(2) TDDDG. Optional storage or access on your device takes place pursuant to § 25(1) TDDDG.
5. Google Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to analyse website usage statistically. This may involve processing usage data, device information and a shortened or pseudonymised identifier. Google Analytics is loaded only after you give consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The cookies _ga and _ga_* are limited to 180 days in our implementation; their validity is not automatically extended on a subsequent visit. Google signals and advertising personalisation are disabled in our implementation. Browser lifetime is distinct from retention by Google; the Analytics property's settings and Google's retention and deletion policies apply there. Processing in the USA is possible.

7. YouTube
Videos are embedded via YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode and loaded only after you give consent. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When loaded, technical data, particularly IP address and browser and device information, may be transmitted to Google or YouTube. Processing in the USA is possible.

Alternatively, you can open the linked content directly on YouTube.
8. Booking form
A Zimmersoftware booking form can be opened on the booking page. A connection to the provider is established only when you deliberately open the booking form using the relevant button. In particular, your IP address is technically transmitted to the provider. Data entered afterwards is processed to handle your booking enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The provider's privacy notice also applies to further processing within the booking form.

When you contact us, we process your details to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual or contractual matters; otherwise it is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The contact forms on this website do not store your message on the web server; instead, they open your chosen communication method.

Links to Facebook, Instagram and other external services connect to the respective provider only when clicked. The respective provider is responsible for processing data on the destination websites.
11. Google Maps, fonts and other external content
No Google Maps maps are embedded on this website. Individual links, for example in the guest guide, open Google Maps as an external website; a connection to Google is established only when you click them. Further processing is governed by Google's privacy notices.
Fonts are displayed using the existing system fonts on your device. No Google Fonts are loaded from Google's servers to display text. Friendly Captcha is not integrated into our website.
12. Retention period and your rights
We retain enquiry data for as long as necessary to handle your request and any follow-up questions. If an enquiry leads to a booking, the statutory retention requirements applicable to contractual and accounting records also apply. Data no longer required will be deleted unless retention is legally required or there is a legitimate need to pursue legal claims. Data on external providers' systems is also subject to their retention and deletion policies linked above. Subject to the statutory requirements, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.
