DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION
Scope of data protection
The aim of this data protection declaration is to inform users about the type, scope and purposes of the collection and use of personal data by the provider’s controller SAKS Hospitality GmbH, Mendelssohnstrasse 79, D-60325 Frankfurt, Germany, telephone 49 (0)69 7898849-200 on this website (hereinafter “offer”). The legal basis of data protection can be found in the German Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (Federal Data Protection Act, BDSG) and the Telemediengesetz (Telemedia Act, TMG).
Data protection notice
We collect, use and store your personal data exclusively within the framework of the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the following, we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of data collection and use.
Collection and processing of data
Each access to our website and each retrieval of a file stored on this website is logged. The storage is for internal system-related and statistical purposes. Logged are: name of the retrieved file, date and time of the visit, data volume transferred, notification of successful retrieval, web browser and requesting domain. In addition, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged. Any other personal data are only collected if the user of the website and/or customer voluntarily provides information, for example in the context of an inquiry, a registration, for the conclusion of a contract or via the settings of his/her browser.
Our website uses cookies
A cookie is a text file that is sent when you visit a website and stored temporarily on the hard drive of the website user and/or customer. If the user and/or the customer again visits the corresponding server of our website, the internet browser of the user and/or the customer using the website sends the previously received cookie back to the server. The server can then evaluate the information obtained by this procedure in various ways. Cookies can be used, for example, to control the display of advertisements or to facilitate navigation on a website. If the user of the website and/or customer wishes to prevent the use of cookies, this can be done by locally changing the settings in the Internet browser used on your computer, i.e. the program for opening and displaying Internet pages (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Safari).
Use and disclosure of personal data
As far as the user of our website has made personal data available, we use these only to respond to the website user’s and/or customer’s inquiries, to process a contract with the user and/or customer, to conclude a contract with the user and/or customer and for the technical administration. Personal data are only disclosed to or otherwise transferred by us to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or for invoicing purposes or if the user of the website and/or customer has given his/her prior consent. The user of the website and/or customer has the right at any time to revoke the consent s/he has given us with effect for the future.
If the user of the website and/or customer withdraws his/her consent to storage, if knowledge of such data is no longer required for the purpose intended by the storage or if their storage is inadmissible for any other legal reasons, any stored personal data are erased. Data for invoicing and accounting purposes are not affected by a request for erasure.
Export and processing of data in countries outside of the European Economic Area
As a rule, your personal data are not transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). The exception is YouTube videos: they are only loaded with your consent, and processing of data by Google in the USA cannot be ruled out (see section “YouTube videos”). Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Contracts exist with the service providers used by SAKS which comply with the data protection and data security requirements of the GDPR.
Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use these data exclusively for the dispatch of the requested information and do not disclose them to any third parties. You can at any time revoke your consent for the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
SSL encoding
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transfer of any confidential content, such as requests you send to us as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the green lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
Right to information, erasure, blocking
You have at any time the right to free access to your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing as well as a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of these data. If you have any further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint.
WEB ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
This website does not currently use any web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) or any retargeting or advertising tracking technologies. We place advertisements via Google Ads (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Clicking on such an advertisement merely takes you to our website; no Google Ads conversion tracking or remarketing code is embedded on our website. Should we use such services in the future, this will only be done with your prior consent via our cookie banner, and this data protection declaration will be updated accordingly.
LINKS TO SOCIAL NETWORKS
On our website we refer to our presence on social networks (e.g. Facebook of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland) by means of simple links. These are not embedded plugins; merely visiting our website does not transmit any data to these networks. Only when you click on a link are you redirected to the page of the respective provider, where its data protection provisions apply.
COOKIE CONSENT WITH REAL COOKIE BANNER
To obtain and manage your consent to cookies and similar technologies, we use the WordPress plugin “Real Cookie Banner” by devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539 Grafling, Germany. The plugin runs exclusively on our own server; no data are transmitted to the manufacturer. To document your decision, we store a pseudonymous identifier (UUID), your selection, the time, the page accessed and browser information in our database and set technically necessary cookies in your browser that store your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR (obligation to provide evidence) and Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Change privacy settings” link or the cookie icon on our website.
ONLINE BOOKING VIA SIHOT
For availability checks and online booking, we use the SIHOT booking engine of GUBSE Aktiengesellschaft, Bahnhofstraße 26–28, 66578 Schiffweiler, Germany. When you use the booking function, your IP address, technical information about your browser and the booking data you enter (e.g. travel dates, name, contact details) are transmitted to and processed by the provider; a technically necessary session cookie is set. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures and performance of a contract). Further information: https://sihot.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung/
YOUTUBE VIDEOS
Videos from the YouTube platform (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) may be embedded on our website. The videos are only loaded after you have consented to the use of YouTube (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). In doing so, your IP address and browser data, among other things, are transmitted to Google, including to the USA. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the privacy settings. Further information: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
SPAM PROTECTION OF CONTACT FORMS
To protect our contact forms against automated spam, we use an invisible check field (“honeypot”) of the WP Armour plugin. The check takes place exclusively on our server; no data are transmitted to third parties and no cookies are set. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in preventing misuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
