If you are asked to provide personal information (such as your name, address, or e-mail address), this always takes place on a voluntary basis,, in particular as a result of your browser settings or because it is technically necessary. The following sections will indicated in detail which personal information is processed.

Data for Bookings

We cannot help you in the search for your perfect accommodations without some information from you. For this, we will need the information that has been or is to be provided by you, such as your name and the names of those traveling with you, you e-mail address, and your payment information. When booking accommodations, we may ask for your address, phone number, date of birth, and possible preferences. We ask that you provide health-related information by telephone.

Transfer of Booking Information

The purpose of transferring your information is to complete your bookings with your accommodations of choice and to convey your information to the respective providers.

Their headquarters are located within the European Economic Area or in other countries that have been deemed data-secure. We do not sell or rent out your information.

Information We Receive from You on Others

As a rule, you usually do not book an accommodation just for yourself, but also for companions whose information you also provide us at the time of booking. This is also the case if you make a booking for someone else. In some cases, you may use our platform to share information with others (such as with referral programs). Information on the data processing is listed separately there. We hereby inform you that it is your own responsibility for the people whose personal information you have provided to us to have correspondingly agreed to this.

Legal Basis and Duration of the Processing for Bookings

Providing personal information within the framework of bookings is necessary because otherwise, the agreed upon services cannot be provided. The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is the fulfillment of the agreed upon services for which the party is the affected person or else for which the processing fulfills a legal obligation (Art. 6, Sec. 1, subsec. b and c of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The data are processed and/or stored until they are no longer applicable.

If you use our services with your mobile device, it is possible that we process some further data: the type of your mobile device and operating system, device-specific settings and properties, your geographical location, information about app crashes, and other system activities.
