4) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted again after you close your browser (so-called "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for longer and enable page settings to be saved (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find the storage period in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

Insofar as personal data are also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR either for the performance of the contract, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in the case of consent granted, or pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually about their acceptance, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.

Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

5) Contacting us

5.1 Our own review reminder

Solely on the basis of your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, we use your e-mail address for a one-time reminder to submit a review of our services after the contract has been fulfilled. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the controller responsible for data processing.

5.2 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data are processed exclusively for the purpose of handling and responding to your request and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

The legal basis for processing these data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

6) Data processing for order handling

6.1 Insofar as necessary for the performance of the contract for delivery and payment purposes, the personal data we collect are passed on pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR to the commissioned transport company and the commissioned credit institution.

If, on the basis of a corresponding contract, we owe you updates for goods with digital elements or for digital products, we process the contact data you provided when placing the order in order to inform you personally within the scope of our statutory information obligations pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Your contact data will be used strictly for the purpose of notifications about updates owed by us and will be processed by us for this purpose only to the extent necessary for the respective information.

To handle your order, we also cooperate with the following service provider(s), who support us fully or partially in the performance of concluded contracts. Certain personal data are transmitted to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

6.2 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

Stripe

One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland.

If you select a payment method from the provider in which you make advance payment (e.g. credit card payment), the payment data you provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and card information, currency and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order are passed on to the provider pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. In this case, your data are passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

If you select a payment method in which the provider makes advance payment (e.g. purchase on account or in instalments, or direct debit), you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, e-mail address, telephone number, and, where applicable, details of an alternative means of payment).

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the solvency of our customers, these data are forwarded by us to the provider pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the purpose of a credit assessment. On the basis of the personal data you provide as well as further data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), the provider checks whether the payment option you selected can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. Among other things, but not exclusively, address data are included in the calculation of the score values.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may remain entitled to process your personal data insofar as this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

7) Online marketing

GetYourGuide Affiliate

We participate in the affiliate program of the following provider: GetYourGuide Deutschland GmbH, Sonnenburger Straße 73, 10437 Berlin, Germany.

In this context, we have placed links on our website that lead to offers on the provider's or third parties' websites ("partner sites").

To measure the success of an affiliate link, to evaluate orders generated via such a link, and for the corresponding settlement of commission payments, the provider uses cookies and/or comparable technologies that are generally set on the partner sites and for which we are not responsible under data protection law. In this context, the provider regularly also processes the IP address and, where applicable, further device information.

All of the processing described above, in particular the reading out or storing of information on the device you use, only takes place if you have given your express consent to this pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent once given at any time with effect for the future by using the cookie consent management options on the partner sites.

8) Site functionalities

8.1 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visually present geographical information. Through the use of this service, our location is shown to you and any journey to us is made easier.

Already when you access those sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also result in a transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data are assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

Collection, storage and evaluation are carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have a right to object to the creation of these usage profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise it. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the option for objecting described above.

Further information on Google's data protection provisions can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/

8.2 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA.

For the visual design of the CAPTCHA window, the provider uses "Google Fonts", i.e. fonts loaded from the internet by Google. No processing of information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the functionality of reCAPTCHA, takes place in this context.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by mechanical and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is carried out by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation. Cookies may be used here, i.e. small text files that are stored in the browser of the device.

Insofar as the processing described above is based on cookies, these are only set if you have given us your express consent to do so pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual personal responsibility on the internet and in avoiding misuse and spam pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

9) Tools and miscellaneous

Cookie consent tool

To obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent, this website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool". The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they access the site in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data are generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) are processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Insofar as necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

10) Rights of the data subject

10.1 Applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights (rights to information and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, whereby reference is made to the legal basis cited for the respective conditions of exercise:

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST AS PART OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

11) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined on the basis of the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – where applicable – additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

In the case of processing of personal data on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, the data concerned are stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, these data are routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided they are no longer required for the performance or initiation of the contract and/or there is no continuing legitimate interest on our part in their further storage.

In the case of processing of personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data are stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

In the case of processing of personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data are stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data are otherwise deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
