Data protection is very important to us. Below, we inform you about how we handle your data.
Unless otherwise stated below, providing your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. You are not obligated to provide your data, and failure to do so will have no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other information is provided in the following processing operations. By “personal data,” we mean all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Server Log Files
You can visit our website without providing personal information. Each time you visit our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web hosting/IT service provider by your internet browser and stored in server log files. This stored data includes, for example, the name of the accessed page, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider. The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and serves our legitimate interest in ensuring the smooth operation of our website and improving our offerings.
Hosting Services by Third Parties
A third-party provider performs hosting and website display services on our behalf to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest in the proper presentation of our offerings following a balancing of interests. All data you provide when using this website is processed on the hosting provider’s servers. Data processing on other servers only occurs within the scope described here. This provider is located in a country within the EU or the European Economic Area.
Collection and Processing of Personal Data via Our Website
On our website, you have the option to contact us by providing personal data and to use services we offer (online reservations, voucher orders, newsletters). We only collect data to the extent you provide it. By submitting personal contact details and messages, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
If you provide us with personal data of third parties, we explicitly ask for your consent to store and process this data. You and the individuals whose data you have shared with us have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Your data may also be used by us to send informational, advertising, and marketing materials. However, it will not be shared with or published to third parties for advertising and marketing purposes.
You can unsubscribe from receiving informational, advertising, and marketing materials at any time by using the corresponding link in the email or by sending us a notification.
Handling of Personal Data in the Course of Our Business Activities
In the course of our business activities, we collect, process, and archive personal data to fulfill our contractual obligations and for administration, business organization, and financial accounting based on Art. 6(1) GDPR. This concerns data of our website users, customers, prospects, and business partners. Our interest and the purpose of processing this data lie in providing our services and conducting our business activities. Without your personal data, no contract can be concluded, and we cannot provide services to you.
Where necessary for providing our services and maintaining our business activities, we also transmit data to third parties such as tax authorities, consultants, fee offices, and payment service providers. We adhere to the legal requirements for data processing under Art. 28 GDPR and follow our customers’ instructions.
We delete data after the statutory warranty periods expire and review the necessity of data retention every three years. In the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration (6 years).
Mostly business-related data, such as supplier and other business partner data, is generally stored permanently.

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can prevent cookie storage through browser settings, though this may limit certain website functions. A browser add-on to disable Google Analytics can prevent the collection, transmission, and processing of your usage data (including IP address) via cookies.
