Data protection officer:
We take the protection of personal data seriously and have appointed an external data protection officer for this purpose. Our data protection officer is MMag. Martin Zeppezauer, Thurnbichlweg 50, A-6353 Going am Wilden Kaiser (www.zepedes.com). You can contact our data protection officer at the email address martin@zepedes.com.

Purposes of the processing of personal data

The purposes of processing your personal data generally result from our business activities as a tourism organization: making our online offers available, processing customer inquiries / orders / bookings, accounting, communication with business partners and customers. Detailed information on the purposes of processing and, if necessary, further processing for other compatible purposes as well as the processed data categories can be found in the detailed descriptions of the individual data processing processes.

General categories of data

• Personal master data (e.g. name, date of birth and age, address)
• Contact details (e.g. email address, telephone number, fax number)
• Communication data (time and content of communication)
• Order or booking data (e.g. ordered goods or commissioned services and invoice data such as service period, payment method, invoice date, tax identification number ...)
• Payment details (e.g. account number, credit card details)
• Contract data (content of contracts of any kind)
• Web usage data (e.g. server data, log files and cookies)

Processing of special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 GDPR

• Health data (only if you have given us your explicit consent to process your order (e.g. mediation of a hotel specializing in guests with food intolerances or allergies))

Lawfulness of the processing of personal data

There is basically no obligation to provide the data for the data processing described in this data protection declaration. Failure to provide this data simply means that we cannot offer these services. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data, which is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you or an order from you to us, is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary on our part to fulfil a legal obligation (accounting obligation, bookkeeping obligation or other legal documentation obligations), Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh our interests, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (“legitimate interest”) serves as the legal basis for processing. In this case, we will also inform you about our legitimate interests. Unless we have any other legal basis explained above for the processing of personal data, we will ask for your consent to data processing, whereby in these cases we refer to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or in the case of the processing of special categories of data based on Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR as the legal basis. You can revoke this consent at any time free of charge without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

We process your personal data with the support of data processors who support us in providing our services. These data processors are through a corresponding agreement within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR with us obliged to strictly protect your personal data and may not process your personal data for any purpose other than to provide our services. You can find out which data processors are involved in the detailed descriptions of the individual data processing processes.

Your personal data will be passed on to companies other than our data processors to typical economic service providers such as banks, tax consultants or auditors. Transfer of personal data to state institutions and authorities only takes place within the framework of mandatory national legal provisions.

Depending on your order (e.g. for bookings and inquiries), your personal data will only be transmitted to hotel partners or other tourist service providers (members of our organization) to the extent necessary to fulfil your order. The transmitted personal data vary depending on the service.

In principle, we process your personal data in the EU. If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if we use the services of our data processors or third parties, this will only take place if the requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are available for the transfer to third countries: i.e. on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU or in compliance with officially recognized contractual obligations, the so-called "EU standard contractual clauses". If we rely on the EU standard contractual clauses as the legal basis for the transmission of your personal data, we will also check the admissibility of this data transmission as part of a comprehensive risk assessment. If we come to a negative result, we will not transfer these data without your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR to a third country.

Your personal data will be deleted by us as soon as the purpose for which we collected your data no longer applies. Storage can also take place if we process the data for a purpose that is compatible with the original purpose. It can also take place if this is provided for by laws, ordinances or other provisions to which our company is subject.

We only collect your personal data from you and do not use any other data sources.

We do not use any automated decision-making or profiling processes that have a legal effect on you or that significantly affect you in a similar manner. With your consent, however, we will use your usage data to get to know your interests better and thus to be able to display information of interest to you or to be able to make you tailor-made offers or to be able to display corresponding information to you on third-party websites or social media platforms.

In principle, you have the right to information, correction, deletion and restriction of the processing of personal data in accordance with the GDPR. If the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent or a contract concluded with you, you also have the right to data portability. You have the right to revoke any consent you may have given to the processing of your personal data. The lawfulness of the processing of your personal data up to the time of revocation is not affected by this. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing. In the event of an objection, your personal data will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing. A detailed explanation of these rights can be found here in Chapter III.

Right of complaint

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority (Barichgasse 40-42, A-1030 Wien, email: dsb@dsb.gv.at).

Google Tag Manager

We use the service of the provider Google Ireland Limited (“Google”) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to be able to manage website tags via a common tool of Google.  The Google Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a domain that does not set cookies and does not collect any other personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags   implemented with Google Tag Manager. Google is a certified partner of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis for (at least a case-by-case) data transfers to the USA is thus an adequacy decision of the European Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, with which the European Commission certifies that the USA has an adequate level of data protection.

The provider is Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). This feature makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC). If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you sign in with your Google Account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising. Cookies are deleted after 1 year. Google is a certified partner of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis for (at least case-by-case) data transfers to the USA is thus an adequacy decision of the European Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, with which the European Commission certifies that the USA has an adequate level of data protection. You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google Account; follow this link here:  https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

In order to display social media content relevant to us (e.g., posts by Instagram or Facebook users about us), we integrate the online tool "Snapshotboard" from the provider Grizzly New Technologies GmbH (Mondscheingasse 6, A-8010 Graz) into our website.

When you visit a page in which we have embedded Snapshotboard, a connection to the Snapshotboard servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. For this purpose, it is necessary that your IP address together with some browser information (browser type, browser version, etc.) as well as information about when you accessed these pages is transmitted to the Snapshotboard server. Further information on Snapshotboard's data protection can be found at: https://grizzly.cc/datenschutz/

In this section we inform you about other data processing processes outside our website.

The contact data and application documents transmitted to us in the course of a job application will be processed by us exclusively internally for the purpose of selecting suitable candidates for an employment relationship. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the personal data. Failure to do so will only result in you not submitting your request and we will not be able to process it. The personal data transmitted in this way will be stored by us in accordance with the statutory provisions for a maximum of 6 months, in the case of the explicit consent of the applicant to keep the documents in evidence, for a maximum of 2 years.

In addition to our website, we maintain online presences within social networks and platforms. The legal basis for using these services is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in communicating with the customers and business partners there and in being able to inform them about our services on these networks. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the privacy policies of the respective operators of these networks apply. Further information on the processing of your personal data by the respective providers of these services (which personal data is processed for which purposes on the basis of which legal basis, how long this data is stored by the respective provider and, if applicable, how long this data is stored by the respective provider). Information on profiling and third-country transfers) can be found below in the descriptions of the individual services or via the information links listed there.

Wonderlink Link Tree

In order to provide users of our social media channels with access to our content of the individual platforms via a page / link (Wonderlink link tree), we use the "Wonderlink" service of the service provider Seyffert with Himmelspach GmbH (Boppstrasse 10, 10967 Berlin, Germany). This service, which is hosted on German servers, does not use cookies or other tracking technologies to analyse user data or create user profiles. The use of this service is in our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in a clear presentation and linking of all our social media content, which makes it easier for interested users to find us on the individual platforms. Our Wonderlink page also leads visitors of the individual platforms to our privacy policy. Detailed data protection information about Wonderlink can be found at: https://en.wonderlink.de/privacy.

Facebook Fanpage

We operate a Facebook fan page on the "Facebook" platform of the company Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland).

Our legitimate interest is to provide customers and potential new customers with information about us and our offers via this information channel. We would like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its functions at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things: Your IP address and other information collected in the form of cookies or other tracking technologies. The data collected about you in this context will be processed by Facebook and may be (at least partially) transferred to the USA. Facebook / Meta is a certified partner of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis for (at least on a case-by-case basis) data transfers to the USA is thus an adequacy decision of the European Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, with which the European Commission certifies an adequate level of data protection in the USA. In a decision, the ECJ found that "Facebook" and the operator of a Facebook fan page are responsible for this personal data as joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. Facebook provides the contract for joint data processing at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum. We, as the site operator of our fan page, have no influence on the specific contents of the agreement. What information Facebook receives and how it is used (how Facebook uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users in order to individualize content or advertising, how long Facebook stores this data, whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties, and much more), describes Facebook in general terms in its data usage policy. There you will also find information about how to contact Facebook and how to set up advertisements. The Privacy Policy is available at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/. As a fan page operator, we do not receive any additional (not publicly visible) information about individual Facebook users from Facebook's analyses, but only statistically processed information (e.g. total number of page views, page activity, post reach, etc.) that helps us to make our posts more attractive.

Your data will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the personal data. Failure to provide the data will only result in you not being able to participate in the competition.

By participating, you also agree that your name will be published on our website as well as on our public social media channels in the event of winning.

In the case of events, it may happen that we create photos and videos of these events or have them created by photographers commissioned by us, on which you are recognizable as a participant of these events. We need these photos / videos to document and advertise our events and will therefore also publish them in our media (e.g., print brochures, website and social media) and make them available to other media owners (print and online) for the promotion of our event. There is no legal or contractual obligation on your part to provide this data.  The legal basis for the processing of your personal data (images and videos on which you are recognizable) is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in our right to public relations (presentation of our activities) and the promotion of our events.  You have the right to object to the processing.  Please address your objection to the e-mail address provided by us in this data protection declaration.  However, it can be assumed that our above-mentioned interest in the use of the photos does not unduly interfere with your rights as a person depicted. This is especially true because we create these photos / videos in public space and point out the production and use of the photos / videos in the run-up to each event. We also always make sure that no legitimate interests of persons depicted are violated.  If, for reasons particularly worthy of consideration, your personal rights and freedoms are violated by an image / video created by us, we will refrain from further processing / publication. Removal from print media that have already been circulated cannot take place. In this case, however, we will make a deletion on our website or in our social media channels.  We generally delete photos / videos of events if we no longer need these images to document and advertise these events.

It is possible to register for events of different providers in our region in our information offices. For this purpose, we process your personal data (name, e-mail address and telephone number). This data will be processed by us on the basis of the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (contract fulfilment/pre-contractual measures) and also passed on to the respective organizer. This data will be deleted or destroyed by us after the event.
