We process the data listed below (clauses 2.1. to 2.6.) as part of the initiation and execution of a contract (usually an accommodation contract).

In some cases, we receive the data from third parties, such as agents or travel agencies (Expedia, Inc., Booking Holdings Inc., HRS - HOTEL RESERVATION SERVICE Group, Kassel Marketing GmbH, Corporate Rate Club, Kurzurlaub.de, Tripadvisor, Trivago), your airline or your employer.
Your data in the registration form raise on the following legal bases:
In the "Private address" section, we collect your registration data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) c) DSGVO in conjunction with. § 30 BMG. This data is generally deleted/destroyed after one year.
In the section "Private address" / "Billing address" we collect your data based on Art. 6 (1) b), c) DSGVO. Insofar as this data is relevant under tax law, it is deleted after 10 years (§ 147 AO, § 257 HGB).
In the section "Data protection consent to voluntary information", the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO with storage duration until the consent is revoked.
Your data (clauses 2.1. to 2.4.) will be processed insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations (usually arising from the accommodation contract) towards you and all persons involved in your travel organization (e.g. travel agencies, organizers of group trips and your employer). This includes communication between us as well as billing for services rendered (billing for hotel accommodation and other goods and services such as catering and transport activities).
We process certain data on the basis of legitimate interests, for example, in order to be able to provide you with optimal and comprehensive care and information after your stay. For example, even after your stay with us has ended, we will continue to store some of the data mentioned in section 2.1 (including first names, surnames, address, past arrival and departure dates) for a limited period of time. As our legitimate interests - or those of a third party - the following come into consideration, for example:
Insofar as video surveillance takes place in and around our buildings, this is done due to our interest in ensuring the fullest possible building and personal security as well as the safety of the hotel guests present. With the video surveillance we pursue the following goals:
Where video recording takes place, the recordings are deleted after 72 hours at the latest, unless they are required as part of an investigative procedure.
Insofar as you have given us consent to process personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of the processing of this data is based on your consent. This applies, for example, to processing that is not necessary for the fulfillment of contractual purposes and where we cannot demonstrate any legitimate interests in data processing (e.g. your e-mail address for the use of our newsletter or our guest satisfaction survey) You can revoke your consents at any time.
Furthermore, data is processed if we are required to do so by law. Based on §§ 29, 30 of the Federal Registration Act (BMG), we are obliged, for example, to collect the data specified in § 30 (2) BMG (see section 2.1) on a registration form.
In our company, employees are only given access to your personal data to the extent necessary.
Your data will only be forwarded if this is necessary for the provision of the contractual service owed by us (e.g. to subcontractors or service providers for the processing of an online booking (we use the online booking tool cbooking of HotelNetSolutions GmbH), electronic communication, payment processing, customer service).
If necessary in individual cases, certain data will be forwarded to your employer, airlines, tour operators, travel agencies or rental car companies.

As far as necessary, we process your personal data for the duration of the contract. If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of our contractual purposes or legal obligations, it is regularly deleted, unless its - temporary - retention is still permissible. Criteria for determining the retention period result, for example, from the retention obligations under commercial and tax law (as a rule, there are 6 or 10-year retention obligations, e.g. for accounting-relevant data).
In addition, there may be a right to retain data for a limited period of time as long as legal disputes may arise from a contractual relationship or further processing is necessary to protect our and your legitimate interests.
The registration forms are kept for one year from the date of arrival of the accommodated person and are destroyed within three months after the expiry of the retention period.
Where video recording takes place, the recordings are deleted after 72 hours at the latest, unless they are required as part of an investigative procedure.
