The following data protection information contains both the current national legal framework that applies, as well as the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into force Europe wide on 25 May 2018.

In the following we should like to inform you in detail about how we handle your data in our business units.

Fundamentally we collect and use the personal data of our users only insofar as this is required for the provision of a fully functional website and for our contents and services. The collection and use of the personal data of our users is carried out on a regular basis but only following the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for specific reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the person affected for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as a legal basis for the processing of said personal data.
In the case of the processing of the personal data that is required for the fulfilment of a contract, the contracting party of which is the affected person, Art 6 para. 1b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies for processing procedures that are required for the execution of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art 6 para. 1c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person make the processing of the personal data necessary, Art 6 para. 1d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is required in order to maintain a justified interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the affected person do not take precedence over the aforementioned interest, Art 6 para. 1f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the person affected is deleted or blocked as soon as the reason for the data to be stored is no longer valid. However, they can continue to be stored if this is provided for in the European or national legislature, or in specific rules, directives or other provisions of European Union law to which the responsible person is subject. The blocking or deletion of the data is also carried out if the storage date prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a requirement for the data to continue to be stored for the conclusion or the performance of a contract.
Every time our internet site is accessed, our system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the calling PC.
The following data is collected in this case:
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with the other personal data of the user.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1f of GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is required in order to enable a delivery from the website to the user’s computer. Therefore, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the whole duration of the visit.
Storage in log files is carried out in order to guarantee the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimise the website and to guarantee the security of our information technology systems. No evaluation of the data for marketing purposes is carried out in connection with this.
For these purposes our justified interests in data processing are in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected. In the case of collecting the data in order to make the website accessible to the visitor, they are deleted once the visit has ended.
In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case the user’s IP addresses are either deleted or anonymised, so that it is no longer possible to allocate them to the visiting client.
The collection of data in order to make the website available and the storage of said data in log files is required for the proper functioning of the website. Therefore, the user does not have a right to contest the data in this case.
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are filed in the internet browser and/or by the internet browser respectively of the user’s computer system. If a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a unique character string that facilitates the clear identification of the browser if the website is visited again.
We use cookies in order to make our websites more user friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after changing websites.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:
In addition, we use cookies on our website that facilitate the analysis of the surfing behaviour of the user.
This means that the following data can be transmitted:
The user data collected in this way are pseudonymised by means of technical precautions. This means that the data can no longer be allocated to the user accessing the site. The data is not stored together with the user’s other personal data.
Our websites use cookie technology to collect data to optimise our advertising and online content. This data is not used to identify you personally but serve purely as an aid in the evaluation of the use of our homepage on a pseudonymised basis. Your data is never amalgamated with your personal data that we have stored. Using this technology, we can present you with advertising and/or special offers and services, the contents of which are based on the information that has been obtained via clickstream analysis (e.g. advertising that is based on the fact that sports shoes have been viewed exclusively in the last few days). Our aim in this is to structure our online offering in the most attractive way possible and to present you with advertising that corresponds to your areas of interest.
a. Third-Party-Cookies
We use various advertising partners who help us to make our websites and internet offers even more interesting for you. Therefore, the cookies of partner companies are also stored on your hard drive when you visit our websites. These are temporary/permanent cookies that are deleted automatically after a defined period of time. These temporary and permanent cookies (life cycle 14 days up to 10 years) are stored on your hard drive and are deleted automatically after a defined period of time. Also the cookies for our partner companies only have pseudonyms and most even have anonymised data. For example, this could be data about which products you have viewed, whether you bought anything, which products you searched for, etc. Some of our advertising partners also use the websites to collect data on which pages you visited prior to visiting them or which products you were interested in, so that they can then show you the advertising that you are most likely to be interested in. These pseudonymised data is never amalgamated with your personal data. The sole purpose of such data is to enable our partners to present you with advertisements that will really be of interest to you.
b. Re-targeting
In this our websites use so-called re-targeting technologies. We use these technologies in order to make the internet offers more interesting for you. This technology makes it possible for us to address internet users who have already shown an interest in us and our products on the internet sites of our partners. We are convinced that the insertion of personalised, internet-related advertising is generally more interesting for the internet user than advertising that does not have any such personal connection. The insertion of such advertising on our partner pages is carried out on the basis of cookie technology and an analysis of the previous user behaviour. This form of advertising is completely anonymised. No user profiles are amalgamated with your personal data. By using our pages, you agree that so-called cookies can be placed and that your particular usage data can be collected, stored and used. In addition, your data is stored in cookies after the end of the browser session so that they can be called up once again when you re-visit the websites, for example. You can revoke your consent at any time with immediate effect, by setting your browser preferences so that the acceptance of cookies is refused.
Depending on the browser you use, you can set the settings in such a way that the storing of cookies is accepted only if you have agreed to this. If you want to accept exclusively our cookies, but not those of our service providers and partners, you can select the setting "Block cookies from third parties" in your browser. As a rule, using the Help function in the menu bar in your web browser you can see how to refuse new cookies and to switch off those you have already received. You can find detailed information on how you can customise the settings in your browser via the following link. If you are using shared computers that are set to accept cookies and flash cookies, we recommend that you should always make sure that you have completely logged out after you have finished your session.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data with the use of cookies is Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR.
The purpose of technically required cookies is to simplify the use of the website for the user. Some of the functions of our internet site could not be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is identified even after changing website.
We need cookies for the following applications:
The user data collected by the technically required cookies are not used to create user profiles.
The reason for the use of the analysis cookies is in order to improve the quality of our websites and their contents. By using the analysis cookies, we can see how the website is being used and so we are able to continually optimise our offers.
For these purposes our justified interests in the processing of personal data are in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our website from here. Therefore, as a user you have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or limit the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be carried out automatically. If the cookies for our website are deactivated, it is possible that some of the functions of the website may no longer be fully available.
The transmission of flash cookies cannot be prevented using the browser settings but by changing the settings for Flash Player.

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and enable Google to carry out an analysis of the use of our offer. The information provided by the cookies on the use of our websites (including your IP address) are generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where they are stored. We should like to point out that Google Analytics has the additional code “gat._anonymizeIp();;” on our websites, so that the IP addresses can be recorded in an anonymised form (so-called IP masking). Therefore, with our permission, your IP address is recorded only in an abbreviated form, which guarantees that it is anonymised and that it is impossible to trace it back to you. In the case of the activation of IP anonymisation on our websites, your IP address is abbreviated in advance by Google within the member states of the European Union or within the other contracting parties to the Agreement across the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is your full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it is then abbreviated. Google uses the aforementioned information to evaluate your use of our websites, to compile reports for us on the website activities and to provide us with further services linked to the use of websites and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser to Google Analytics is not amalgamated with other data held by Google. The forwarding of this data by Google to third parties is carried out only within the framework of statutory provisions or the processing of contractual data. Google will never amalgamate your data with other data held by Google. By using these websites, you declare that you agree to the processing of your personal data by Google and to the aforementioned type and manner of data processing as well as the purpose thereof already mentioned. You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your browser software; however, we should like to point out that this may result in certain functionalities of our websites not being fully operational for you.

This website uses the online advertising programme “Google AdWords”, which also includes conversion tracking. The cookie for conversion tracking is placed when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. These cookies remain valid for 30 days only and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits specific pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google are able to see that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was directed to this webpage. Every Google AdWords client is given a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords clients. The information obtained with the help of conversion cookies helps us to compile conversion statistics for AdWords clients who have opted for conversion tracking. These clients are given the total number of users who have clicked on their advertisement and were directed to a page that contains a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could help them to identify the individual users personally. Users who do not want to participate in tracking can easily deactivate the cookie for Google conversion tracking via the user settings in their internet browser. These users are then not recorded in the conversion tracking statistics. Find out more about Google’s Data Protection Provisions.

Our internet site uses social plugins (“plugins”) from different social networks. With the help of these plugins you can share contents or recommend products, for example. The plugins on our websites are deactivated as standard and therefore do not transmit any data. By clicking on the "Activate Social Media" button you can activate the plugins. Naturally, the plugins can be activated with a simple click as well.
If these plugins are activated, your browser creates a direct link with the servers of the relevant social networks as soon as they call up one of the websites in our internet presence. The contents of these plugins are transmitted directly to your browser and linked by this to the website.
By linking the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have called up via the corresponding page in our internet presence. If you are logged in to the social network, this can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, if you click the “Like” button on Facebook or leave a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted to the social network by your browser, where it is then stored.
Please consult the relevant networks and/or websites for details of the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by said social networks as well as their rights and setting options in this regard for the protection of your private sphere. You will find the relevant links below.
Even if you are not registered with the social networks, data can be sent to these networks by websites with active social plugins. A cookie with an identification key is set by an active plugin at every visit to the website. Since your browser automatically sends this cookie with every link to a network server, in principle it would be possible for the network to create a profile on which websites the user with this identification key has visited. And then it would also be absolutely possible to trace back this identification key later on to a person, via a subsequent registration with a social network, for example.
We use the following plugins on our websites:
If you do not want social networks to collect your data via active plugins, you can either deactivate the social plugins by simply clicking on our website or click on the function "Blockcookies from third-party service providers" in your browser settings. Then your browser will not send any cookies to the server in the case of embedded contents of other providers. However, by enabling this setting it is possible that other cross-page functions will no longer operate, in addition to the deactivated plugins.

Our website contains virtual tours of hotels connected via the portal my.matterport.com. The operator of this portal is Matterport, Inc., 352 E. Java Dr. Sunnyvale, CA 94089, USA.
When you visit our pages that include a virtual tour, a link is created to the Matterport servers. This means that the Matterport server is informed which of our pages you have visited. Matterport also receives your IP address. This occurs even if you are not logged into Matterport or do not have an account with Matterport. The information recorded by Matterport is sent to the Matterport servers in the USA.
If you are logged into your Matterport account, you enable Matterport to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Matterport account.
Matterport is used in the interests of creating an attractive representation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. You can find further information about how Matterport implements the GDPR and handles user data at https://support.matterport.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000904267-Matterport-s-Plan-for-GDPR and in Matterport's Privacy Policy at https://matterport.com/legal/privacy-policy/.

The provider of this website uses the services of Squarelovin (https://squarelovin.com) to display user-generated content. The content is collected via the network Instagram (www.instagram.com). Our partner here is Anchor Media GmbH, Budapester Strasse 45, 20253 Hamburg, Germany. You can find further information about data protection legislation at https://sqln.io/ldh?lang=de.
We use Adobe Analytics, a web analytics tool, on our website. The service provider is the American company Adobe Inc. The Irish company Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland, is responsible for the European region.
Adobe also processes data from you in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA. This may pose various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.
As a basis for data processing with recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular the USA) or a data transfer there, Adobe uses so-called standard contractual clauses (see Art. 46 (2) and (3) DS-GVO).
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through these clauses, Adobe undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the United States. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here, among other places: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en .
For more information about the standard contractual clauses and about the data processed through Adobe's use, see Adobe's Privacy Policy at https://www.adobe.com/privacy.html .

Upon application, we will be happy to provide you in writing with details on whether and what personal data we have filed on you. As far as possible, we shall take appropriate measures to update and or correct any data that we hold on you in the shortest time possible. Please send all information requests, enquiries regarding information or complaints about data processing, by email, stating your full postal address, directly to our data protection officer.
If your personal data is being processed, you are an affected person within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the person responsible:
You can request a confirmation from the person responsible whether personal data that affects you is being processed by us.
If such processing is indeed being carried out, you can request the following information from the person responsible:
You have the right to request information whether the personal data that affects you is being transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation. In this connection you can request to be informed about the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transmission.

Subject to the following conditions you can request a restriction in the processing of the personal data that affects you:
If the processing of the personal data that affects you is restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or in order to enforce, execute or defend legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural person or legal entity or for reasons of an important public interest on the part of the European Union or another member state.
If the limitation in the processing pursuant to the aforementioned conditions is restricted, you will be informed by the person responsible before said restrictions are lifted.
a. Duty to delete
You can request from the person responsible that the personal data that affects you should be deleted with immediate effect, and the person responsible is obliged to delete this data immediately, if one of the following reasons applies:
b. Information to third parties
If the person responsible has made the personal data that affects you publicly and if they are obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, they shall implement appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform the officers involved in the data processing who are processing the personal data that, as the affected person, you have requested that they should delete all the links to this personal data as well as any copies or replicas thereof.
c. Exceptions
There is no right to deletion if the processing is necessary
If you have exercised your right for correction, deletion or restriction in processing vis-à-vis the person responsible, the latter is obliged to inform all the recipients of the personal data that affects you of this correction or deletion of the data or the restriction in processing, unless this should prove to be impossible or it entails a disproportionate amount of time and effort.

You have the right to receive the personal data that affects you and that you have made available to the person responsible, in a structured, current and machine-processable format.

(2) the processing is carried out with the aid of an automated procedure.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to insist that the personal data that affects you is transferred directly from the one person responsible to the other, insofar as this is technically possible. The rights and freedoms of others must not be restricted by this.
The right of data transferability does not apply for the processing of personal data that are required for the execution of a task that is in the public interest or is a result of the exercise of public authority with which the person responsible has been entrusted.
You have the right to object at any time to the processing based on Art. 6 para. 1e or f GDPR of the personal data that affects you, for reasons that are pertinent to your particular situation; this also applies for any profiling based on these provisions.
The person responsible shall no longer process the personal data that affects you unless they are able to provide irrefutable reasons sustaining the worthiness of the protection of the processing that supersede your own interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of the enforcement, execution or defence of legal claims.
If the personal data that affects you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right at any time to object to the use of the personal data that affects you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies for any profiling, insofar as it is carried out in connection with such direct advertising.
If you object to the processing for the purpose of direct advertising, the personal data that affects you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the option, in connection with the use of services of the information society – irrespective of Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of an automated procedure in which technical specifications are used.
You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The legality of the processing up until the point of the revocation of your consent is not affected by this.
You have the right not to be bound by a decision that is based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that restricts you vis-à-vis any legal effect or that considerably restricts you in any other way. This does not apply if the decision
However, these decisions may not be based on specific categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, if Art. 9 para. 2a or g applies and appropriate measures for the protection of your rights and freedoms as well as your justified interests were met.

These are your title, first name, last name, application documents and email or telephone number so that we can contact you.
However, the provision of your email address and telephone number is voluntary. You will not suffer any negative consequences if you do not supply these details. However, the non-provision of a telephone number can make communication for a telephone interview more difficult.
