Welcome to Heidelberg Marketing GmbH and our online presence, in particular www.heidelberg-marketing.de
We are happy that we have raised your interest in our region and our offers. Protection of your privacy and your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, your data will always be collected and used in harmony with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). Hereinafter, we - as controller for processing activities - inform you of which data we collect and how we process these data.
1. Personal data
Personal data within the meaning of the GDPR means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who 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 factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Storage of personal data will only take place as far as this is required to provide the booked service, to comply with statutory specifications or for the purse indicated as a consequence.
2. Anonymized data / log files
You may visit our website without collection of any personal data being required. Nevertheless, certain anonymised data will be stored every time you visit our website, e.g. on which page or which offer was called up. These data are, however, not personal data and therefore not subject to the statutory provisions of the GDPR or the BDSG.
The website operator or page operator collects data concerning access to the page and stores them as "server logfiles". The following data are logged this way:
Visited website, time at the time of access, data volume in byte, source/reference from which you reached the page, browser used, operating system used, internet protocol address used.
The collected data only serve statistical evaluation and improvement of the website. The website operator reserves subsequent review of the log files if any specific indications suggest illegal use, however.
The collection of anonymous data will only take place for statistical evaluation in order to improve our offer. Concerning this, please note the item "Right to information/revocation right".
3. Purpose of collection of personal data
The collection of personal data becomes unavoidable, however, if you book any stay or other service via our portal, subscribe to our newsletter or want to use other offers of our page for the processing of which personal data cannot be avoided. This includes gift voucher purchases as well as participation in lotteries, which can also take place outside the portal.
In correspondence with the statutory provisions and within the meaning of data economy, only such data are usually collected for this that are required for provision of the specific service. As far as we request the indication of any further information, it is always given freely and marked as such.
The temporary storage of the internet protocol address by the system was necessary in order to make it possible to send the website to the user's computer. For this, the user's internet protocol address must remain stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files shall furthermore take place in order to ensure the function of the website. We also use the data for optimisation of the website and to ensure the security of our information-technical systems. The data are not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes also reflect our legitimate interest in the processing activities in accordance with point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
In case of booking a stay or any other services, the data collected for this are used for processing of this booking within the statutory specifications for advertising purposes and for statistical purposes.

As far as processing of personal data is required to perform a legal obligation that our company is subject to, point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If any vital interests of the data subject or any other natural person require processing of personal data, point (d) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is required to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
5. Passing on of personal data to third parties
Your personal data will only be passed on within the relevant specifications, in particular under data protection and competition law.
As far as this is required for the services contractually owed by us or our statutory obligations, your data will also be passed on to the subcontractors or service providers for provision of the service in our name or on our order (e.g. technical processing of the mail and email dispatch, payment processing, customer service).
