DATA PROTECTION

We, revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG, would like to thank you for visiting our homepage. As a hotel business, the secure handling of your data is particularly important to us. We would therefore like to inform you in detail about the use of your data when you visit our website.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easily legible and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:

• Personal data: Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
• Data subject: A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
• Processing: Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.
• Restriction of processing: Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
• Profiling: Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
• Pseudonymisation: Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
• Controller or person responsible for processing: The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of such processing are specified by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for his or her nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
• Processor: A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
• Recipient: Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.
• Third party: A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.
• Consent: Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous confirmatory act by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

2. Collection of data

The website of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following can be collected:

a) browser types and versions used,

b) the operating system used by the accessing system,

c) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),

d) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

e) the date and time of access to the website,

f) an Internet Protocol address (IP address),

g) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and

h) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is needed to

a) to deliver the contents of our website correctly,

b) to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,

c) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and

(d) to provide law enforcement authorities with information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

3. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

4. Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter

On the website of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter.

revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if

a) the data subject has a valid email address and

b) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to legally protect the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link can be found in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking the consent. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to communicate this to the controller in another way.

5. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject, and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as a revocation.

6. Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

7. Use of cookies

In order to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

8. Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analysis

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (www.google.de). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer. The information generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymization on this website, your IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://wbs.is/rom89.

9. Use of social plug-ins from Facebook using the “2-click solution”

Our website uses so-called social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) from the social network Facebook. This service is offered by the company Facebook Inc. (“provider”).

Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). An overview of Facebook plug-ins and what they look like can be found here: http://wbs.is/rom90.

In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plug-ins are integrated into the page using a so-called "2-click solution". This integration ensures that when you access a page on our website that contains such plug-ins, no connection is established with the Facebook servers. Only when you activate the plug-ins and thereby give your consent to the data transfer does your browser establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the respective plug-in is sent directly to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you interact with the plug-ins, e.g. click the "Like" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your contacts there. For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please see Facebook's privacy policy at http://wbs.is/rom91.

10. Embedded videos and images from external websites

Some of our pages contain embedded content from YouTube or Instagram. When you simply access a page from our website with embedded videos or images from our YouTube and/or Instagram channel, no personal data, with the exception of the IP address, is transmitted. In the case of YouTube, the IP address is transmitted to Google Inc., 600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") and in the case of Instagram, to Instagram Inc., 181 SouthPark Street Suite 2 San Francisco, California 94107, USA ("Instagram").

11. Announcement of changes

Changes in the law or changes to our internal processes may make it necessary to adapt this privacy policy.

In the event of such a change, we will notify you at least six weeks before it comes into effect. You generally have the right to revoke your consent (No. 6).

Please note that (unless you make use of your right of withdrawal) the current version of the privacy policy is the valid one.

12. Updating/deleting your personal data

You have the option to review, change or delete the personal information you have provided to us at any time by sending us an email to the email addressm.wald@revita-hotel.deIf you are a member, you can also opt out of receiving further information in the future.

You also have the right to revoke any consent you have given at any time with future effect.

The stored personal data will be deleted if you revoke your consent to storage.

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

13. Rights of the data subjects

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller at any time free information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to information about the following information:

• the processing purposes
• the categories of personal data being processed
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
• where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
• the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
• the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority
• if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in those cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to erase personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following reasons applies and to the extent that processing is not necessary:

• The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
• The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
• The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.
• The personal data were processed unlawfully.
• The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 Para. 1 GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

If the personal data was made public by revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG and our company as the controller is obliged to erase the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR, revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. The data protection officer of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will arrange the restriction of processing.

Each person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was made available to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was made available, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the data protection officer appointed by revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG or another employee at any time.

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or which serve the processing, assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data in order to conduct direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG to the processing for direct marketing purposes, revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer of revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG or another employee directly. In addition, the data subject is free in connection with the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision

(a) is not necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or

(b) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or

c) with the express consent of the data subject.

Is the decision

(a) necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or

b) it is carried out with the express consent of the data subject, revita SEELA GmbH & Co. KG shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

14. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

15. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or by a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
