Data Processing: General Information

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.

Contact Form and Email Contact

Description and scope of data processing

Our website contains a contact form that can be used to contact us electronically. If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are: First and last name, e-mail address and request.

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.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

If the contact is a pre-contractual relationship (offer or reservation request), the transmitted data will also be stored in our hotel software and used to execute the contract. If there is no contractual relationship, we delete the data after one year at the end of the year.

Possibility of objection

You have the option to object to the processing of your data at any time. We have set up the e-mail address widerruf@themandala.de for this purpose. We would like to point out that in the event of an objection, the conversation cannot be continued or we cannot create any offers etc.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

So-called chatbots can also be used here, which automatically answer standard questions. Within the chat, you have the option of entering your first and last name as well as your e-mail address.

The legal basis for the processing is the contract or contract initiation relationship. To prevent unauthorised third parties from accessing your personal data, the ordering process on the website is encrypted using SSL/TLS technology.

Purpose of the data processing

The data is processed exclusively for the processing of the conversation.

Duration of storage

We delete the data accruing in this context after the processing is no longer necessary or we restrict the processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • The operating system of the user
  • The IP address of the user
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
  • Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. Personal user profiles cannot be formed. The stored data is only evaluated for statistical purposes.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is the processing to protect our legitimate interest.

Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

Use of Google services

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. For users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland, the responsible entity is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by the cookies about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We use the User-ID feature. With the help of the User ID, we can assign one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) a unique, permanent ID and analyze user behavior across devices.

We also use Google Signals. This allows Google Analytics to collect additional information about users who have enabled personalized ads (interests and demographic data), and ads can be delivered to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.

In Google Analytics 4, IP anonymization is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in the form of “events.” Events can include:

  • Page views

  • First visit to the website

  • Start of session

  • Your “click path,” interaction with the website

  • Scrolls (every time a user scrolls to the bottom (90%) of the page)

  • Clicks on external links

  • Internal searches

  • Interaction with videos

  • File downloads

  • Viewed / clicked ads

  • Language setting

Additionally, the following is recorded:

  • Your approximate location (region)

  • Your IP address (in shortened form)

  • Technical information about your browser and the devices you use (e.g., language setting, screen resolution)

  • Your internet service provider

  • The referrer URL (which website / which advertising medium you used to arrive at this website)

Purpose of Processing

On our behalf, Google will use the transmitted information to evaluate the use of the website by visitors and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics serve us to analyze the performance of the website.

Recipients

Recipients of the data are/may be:

  • Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as a data processor under Art. 28 GDPR)

  • Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

  • Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

It cannot be ruled out that US authorities may access the data stored by Google.

Third Country Transfer

If data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection equivalent to the European standard, we have concluded EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the service provider to ensure an adequate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. From a data protection perspective, the USA is currently considered a third country. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. Legal remedies against access by authorities may not be available to you.

Storage Duration

The data we send and that is linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

Legal Basis and Withdrawal

We process your data using Google Analytics 4 based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with § 25 TTDSG. You give your consent by selecting the use of cookies (cookie banner/consent manager), and you can also revoke your consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may restrict the functionality of this and other websites.

Further information can be found in the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for Google.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via an interface and allows us to control the precise integration of services on our website.

This allows us to flexibly integrate additional services to analyze user access to our website.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out pursuant to Art. 45(1) GDPR on the basis of the European Commission’s adequacy decision. The participating US companies and/or their US subcontractors are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

In cases where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (including US companies not certified under the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed other suitable safeguards within the meaning of Art. 44 ff. GDPR with the recipients of the data. Unless otherwise stated, these are the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021.

Please note that such third-country transfers may involve unknown risks (e.g., data processing by security authorities of the third country, the exact scope and consequences of which are unknown to us, beyond our control, and potentially unknown to you).

The specific storage duration of the processed data is not under our control but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the Google Tag Manager privacy policy.

Google DoubleClick

This website continues to use the online marketing tool Google DoubleClick from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Furthermore, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser’s website and make a purchase.

When you visit a page that uses DoubleClick and for which DoubleClick ad technology is enabled, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that is collected through the use of this tool by Google.

If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and store your IP address.

Legal Basis and Withdrawal

The use of DoubleClick is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect in the settings of our cookie consent tool.

Further information about Google DoubleClick can be found at: https://www.google.com/doubleclick

Google Maps

We use the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google collects, processes, and uses data about the use of the map functions by visitors of the websites.

By integrating Google Maps, your IP address and other data may be transmitted to Google. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have no influence on this data transfer.

Legal Basis and Withdrawal

The use of Google Maps is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect in the settings of our cookie consent tool.

Further information about the processing of data by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google Ads

We have integrated Google Ads on our website. Google Ads is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, used to display targeted advertisements to users. Google Ads uses cookies and other browser technologies to analyze user behavior and recognize users.

Google Ads collects information about visitor behavior across various websites. This information is used to optimize ad relevance. Additionally, Google Ads delivers targeted advertising based on behavioral profiles and geographic location. Your IP address and other identifiers such as your User-Agent are transmitted to the provider.

If you are registered with a Google Ireland Limited service, Google Ads can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered or logged in, the provider may still identify and store your IP address and other identifiers.

The data is transmitted to the operator of Google Ads, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The use of Google Ads is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, particularly the USA. Data transfers to the USA are based on Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR and the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The involved U.S. companies and/or their U.S. subcontractors are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

In cases where no adequacy decision exists (including U.S. companies not certified under the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed on other appropriate safeguards with the data recipients under Art. 44 et seq.

Use of social media plugins

We maintain so-called fan pages, accounts, or channels on the social networks listed below to provide you with information and offers within these platforms, as well as to offer additional ways for you to contact us and learn more about our services. Below, we inform you about which data we and the respective social networks process in connection with accessing and using our fan pages/accounts.

Data we process from you

If you contact us via messenger or direct message through a social network, we generally process your username used to contact us, and may store any other data you voluntarily provide, to the extent necessary to process/respond to your inquiry.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller).

(Aggregated) Usage Data we receive from the social networks

We receive automatically generated statistics related to our accounts through the networks’ Insights functionalities. These statistics include, for example, the total number of page views, likes, information on page activity and post interactions, reach, video views, and the gender distribution of our fans/followers.

These statistics contain only aggregated data and cannot be linked to any individual person. We cannot identify you based on this information.

Data processed by the social networks

You do not need to be a member of the respective social network to view the content on our fan pages/accounts; therefore, a user account is not required.

However, please note that social networks may still collect and store data from website visitors without user accounts (e.g., technical data required to display the website) and may use cookies and similar technologies over which we have no control. For more information, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective social networks (see the relevant links above).

If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts—for example, by commenting on, sharing, or liking our posts, or contacting us via messenger features—you must first register with the respective social network and provide personal data.

We have no influence over the data processing carried out by the social networks when you use their services. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed by the social networks in connection with providing their services, and also for analyzing user behavior (using cookies, pixels/web beacons, and similar technologies), which is used to deliver interest-based advertising both within and outside the respective network. It is possible that your data may be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and shared with third parties.

For details about the scope and purposes of data processing, storage duration/deletion, as well as policies on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registering and using social networks, please refer to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective platforms. There, you will also find information about your rights and how to object to certain data processing activities.

Facebook

When visiting our Facebook page, Facebook (Meta) collects your IP address as well as other information stored in cookies on your device. This information is used to provide us, as the operators of the Facebook page, with statistical insights regarding the use of the page. Facebook provides more information on this at the following link: https://facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

The statistical information transmitted to us does not allow us to draw conclusions about individual users. We only use these insights to better respond to the interests of our users, continuously improve our online presence, and ensure its quality.

We only collect your data via our fan page to facilitate communication and interaction with us. This typically includes your name, message content, comments, and any profile information you have made “publicly” available.

The processing of your personal data for the purposes stated above is based on our legitimate economic and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If, as a user, you have given consent to data processing to the social network provider, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

Since the actual data processing is carried out by the social network provider, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network has full access to your data. Therefore, only the provider can take appropriate actions to fulfill your data subject rights (e.g., access requests, deletion, objection). As such, asserting your rights is most effective when done directly with the provider.

We are jointly responsible with Facebook for the personal content of the fan page. Data subject rights can be exercised both with Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and with us.

According to the GDPR, Facebook holds primary responsibility for the processing of Insights data and fulfills all related obligations. Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. provides affected individuals with the key terms of the Page Insights Supplement.

We do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data or the storage duration of cookies on user devices.

Further information is available directly from Facebook in the Page Controller Addendum.

For more details about the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, data retention/deletion, and policies regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and usage, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Facebook Fan Page

On our Facebook fan page, we use plugins provided by Facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you use the fan page, data is transmitted to Facebook servers, including information about your visits to our fan page. For Facebook users who are logged in, this means that usage data can be linked to their personal Facebook account. As soon as you interact with a Facebook plugin while logged in (e.g., by clicking the “Like” button or using the comment function), that information is linked to your Facebook account and may be published. You can prevent this only by logging out of your Facebook account before using the plugin.

We are not exactly aware of what data Facebook stores and uses. As a user of our fan page, you must therefore assume that Facebook may fully track and store your activity on the page.

The general terms of use of Facebook Ireland Limited apply. For privacy-related matters, please refer to Facebook Ireland Limited's privacy policy.

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

Any individuals depicted in photos or other third parties have the right to object at any time to the publication of their personal data (e.g., photos). To do so, we have set up the following email address: widerruf@themandala.de. This right to object applies especially to the publication of images in the future.

It may happen unintentionally that we publish photos of individuals without their prior consent. If a publication is not desired, we will immediately take all necessary steps to comply with your rights. In the case of group photos, we reserve the right to obscure faces.

The processing of your personal data for the purposes described above is based on our legitimate business and communication interest in offering an information and communication channel pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you have given consent to the respective social network provider, the legal basis also includes Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR.

As the data is processed by the social network provider, our ability to access or influence the data is limited. Only the provider has full access to your information and is therefore solely responsible for taking any action regarding your data subject rights (e.g., access, deletion, objection). Thus, it is most effective to assert your rights directly with the provider.

We are jointly responsible with Instagram for the personal content on our fan page. Data subject rights can be exercised with both Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and us.

According to the GDPR, Instagram holds primary responsibility for the processing of Insights data and fulfills all obligations relating to the handling of this data. Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. provides the key elements of the Page Insights Supplement to the affected individuals.

Rights of the Data Subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

  • If data is inaccurate or no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you may request that it be corrected, erased or restricted from processing. Where provided for in the processing procedures, you may also consult your data yourself and correct them if necessary.
  • Should grounds against the processing of your personal data arise from your particular personal situation, you may, insofar as the processing is based on a legitimate interest, object to it. The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
  • If the personal data concerning you is processed 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 marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing or profiling purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. For this purpose, we have set up the e-mail address widerruf@themandala.de.

Right of Appeal to a Supervisory Authority

As a data subject, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence or of the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes data protection.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint is submitted will inform you of the status and outcome of your complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy.

You can find more information on the website of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
