Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data regularly only takes place with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation (statutory provisions) to which our company is subject (e.g. federal registration laws), Art. 6 (1) c GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for the continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is firstly our legitimate interest in the processing of data in the context of contacting the enquirer. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is in the context of a contractual relationship.

Purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The data is used exclusively for processing the booking and for communication.

Google DoubleClick

We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google on our website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google, under which mainly special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transfers data to the DoubleClick server with each impression as well as with clicks or other activities.

Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the browser of the data subject. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is required to process the technical procedure. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate placements. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, if a DoubleClick advertisement has previously been displayed to a user and the user subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data, but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier serves to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact on other websites. As part of this service, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to generate commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website. In this case, your data will be passed on to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We process your data with the help of the Double-Click cookie for the purpose of optimising and displaying advertising based on your consent. You give your consent by setting the use of cookies (cookie banner / Consent Manager), with which you can also declare your revocation at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. The cookie is used, among other things, to place and display user-relevant advertising and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. Furthermore, the cookie is used to avoid multiple displays of the same advertisement. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of our website on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, your browser is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not give us your consent, it will be possible to visit our website without restriction, but not all functions may be fully available.

By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. It is nevertheless technically possible that Google could identify at least individual users on the basis of the data received. It is possible that personal data and personality profiles of users of the website could be processed by Google for other purposes over which we have and can have no control.

The legal basis for the use of Google Maps is our legitimate interest in data processing.

The purpose of using Google Maps is to show the user our location on the website and to give him the possibility to determine different directions via the services of Google Maps.

You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display on our website.

Facebook

Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook").

The plugins are marked with a corresponding logo. When you call up a web page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers if the plugin is activated. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. By integrating the plugin, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins or post a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy. If you do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our website, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

You can find more information on this in Facebook's privacy policy. If you do not want Facebook to link your visit to our website with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook account.

Facebook fan page

On our Facebook fan page at: https://www.facebook.com/themandala.de/ we use plugins from the provider Facebook.com, which are provided by the company Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304 in the USA. By using the fan page, data is forwarded to the Facebook servers, which contain information about your visits to our fan page. For logged-in Facebook users, this means that the usage data is assigned to their personal Facebook account. As soon as you actively use the Facebook plugin as a logged-in Facebook user (e.g. by clicking on the "Like" button or using the comment function), this data is transferred to your Facebook account and published. You can only avoid this by logging out of your Facebook account first.

We do not know exactly what data Facebook stores and uses. As a user of the fan page, you must therefore expect that Facebook also stores your actions on the fan page without gaps.

In addition, the General Terms of Use of Facebook Ireland Limited, Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland apply. With regard to data protection on Facebook, please note the following data protection information of Facebook Ireland Limited.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, f) GDPR.

Every person depicted as well as other third parties have the possibility to object to the publication of their personal data (photos) at any time. We have set up the e-mail address widerruf@themandala.de for this purpose. The right to object applies in particular to the publication of images for the future.

It can always happen that we accidentally publish pictures of people where no consent has been given. If publication is not desired, we will immediately do everything possible to comply with your right. In the case of group pictures, we reserve the right to distort faces.

Instagram

The "Instagram button" is used on this website. When you access this website, your browser establishes a connection to servers of the social network Instagram, offered by Instagram Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA.

When you visit our pages on https://www.instagram.com/themandalahotel/, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Instagram server. Instagram thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Instagram button while you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages on your Instagram profile. This allows Instagram to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.
