A. Data processing in connection with our
website

  1. Accessing our website

When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store each access in a log file. As with any connection to a web server, the following technical data is collected without your intervention and stored by us until automatic deletion after 12 months at the latest:

This data is collected and processed to allow the use of our website (establishing a connection), to permanently ensure system security and stability, and to optimise our Internet offer as well as for internal statistical purposes. We rely on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR for these processing purposes.

Furthermore, if there are attacks on the network infrastructure or other prohibited or abusive website uses, the IP address is used together with other data for clarification and defence and may be used to identify and take civil and criminal action against the users concerned as part of a criminal proceeding. We rely on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR for this processing purpose.

  1. Use of our contact form

You have the possibility to use a contact form to contact us. We require the following information for this:

We only use this data as well as a telephone number you may voluntarily provide to answer your contact query in the best possible and personalised way. Processing of this data is therefore required in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR or falls within our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR, respectively.

  1. Tracking tools

    <
    1. General

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics for needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our website. Pseudonymised use profiles are generated and small text files that are stored on your computer ("cookies") are used in this context. The information about your use of this website generated by the cookie is sent to the servers of the provider of these services and stored and processed for us there. In addition to the data listed under Section 1, we receive the following information in some circumstances:

The information is used to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities, and to perform other services related to website use and Internet use for purposes of market research and needs-based design of this webpage. This information may also be sent to third parties if required by law or if third parties are processing this data on a contract basis.

    1. Google Analytics

The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc., an undertaking of the holding company Alphabet Inc., with registered office in the USA. Before the data is transmitted to the provider, the IP address is abbreviated inside the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area by activating IP anonymisation ("anonymizeIP") on this website. The anonymised IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be linked to other Google data. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. In this case, we use contractual guarantees to ensure that Google Inc. maintains an adequate level of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances is the IP address linked to other data about the user.

You can find further information about the web analysis service used on the website of Google Analytics. You can find instructions on how to prevent the processing of your data by the web analysis service under http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.


B. Storage and exchange of data with third parties

  1. Disclosure of data to third parties

We only disclose your personal data if you have given your express consent, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, especially to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we disclose your data to third parties as far as this is necessary in the context of use of our website and contract processing (including outside the website), namely to process your bookings.

A service provider to whom personal data collected through the website is disclosed to or who has or can have access to is our web host Metanet AG, Josefstrasse 218, 8005 Zürich. The website is hosted on servers in Switzerland. The data is disclosed for the purpose of providing and maintaining the functionalities of our website. This constitutes our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

Please also note the information in Sections 3 regarding the transfer of data to third parties.

  1. Transmission of personal data abroad

We have the right to transmit your personal data to third parties (contracted service providers) located abroad for the purpose of the data processing described in this data privacy policy. These are obliged to ensure data protection to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to the Swiss or European level, we shall ensure by contract that the protection of your personal data corresponds at all times to that in Switzerland or the EU.

C. Further information

  1. Right to access, correction, deletion, and restriction of processing; right to data portability

You have the right to know about the personal data that we store about you on request. In addition, you have the right to the correction of incorrect data and the right to the deletion of your personal data, insofar as this does not conflict with any legal obligation to retain data or a legal basis that allows us to process the data.

You further have the right to ask for the release of the data you have given us (right to data portability). On request, we will also pass on the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a current file format.

You can contact us at the email address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for the aforesaid purposes. We may, at our discretion, require proof of identity to process your requests.

  1. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, full or partial loss or destruction, and unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

You should always treat your access data confidentially and close the browser window when you have ended communication with us, especially if you used a shared computer.

We also take internal data protection very seriously. Our employees and the service providers we retain have been obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with data protection regulations.

  1. Notice regarding data transfers to the US

For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or domiciled in Switzerland that monitoring measures are in place in the US by US authorities, which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data is transmitted from Switzerland to the US. This is done without distinction, restriction, or exception by reference to the goal and without an objective criterion that allows access by US authorities to the data and later use thereof to be restricted to very specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify the intervention associated with access to and use of this data. In addition, we would like to point out that there are no legal remedies in the US for data subjects from Switzerland that would allow them to obtain access to the data relating to them and to obtain the correction or deletion thereof, and that there is no effective court protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly point out this legal and factual situation to the data subject so that he or she can make an informed decision about consenting to the use of his or her data.

Users residing in an EU Member State are advised that the US does not have an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of the European Union – partly because of the issues mentioned in this section. Insofar as we have stated in this data privacy policy that recipients of data (such as Google) have their headquarters in the US, we will ensure that your data is protected at an adequate level by our partners, either through contractual agreements with these companies or by ensuring that these companies are certified under the EU- or Swiss-US Privacy Shield.

  1. Right to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority

You have the right to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority at any time.
