Liability for content

As a service provider, we are responsible under § 7 (1) TMG for our own content on these pages in accordance with general law. However, under §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. Liability in this respect, however, is only possible from the moment we become aware of a specific infringement. Upon notification of such infringements, we will remove the relevant content immediately.

Liability for links

Our website may contain links to external third-party sites whose content we have no influence over. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognisable at the time of linking.

However, a permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. Upon notification of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works on these pages created by the site operator are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, editing, distribution and any kind of use outside the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use.

Where the content on this site has not been created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please let us know. Upon notification of such violations, we will remove the relevant content immediately.

Privacy Policy

1. Controller

The person responsible for the data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the person named under "Information according to § 5 TMG".

2. Hosting & server log files

When this website is accessed, the hosting provider stores technically necessary access data (server log files). This is a technical necessity of running the website and is outside the site operator's control. The hosting provider is Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen. There is a data processing agreement with the provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. For details on what data are processed, for what purpose and for how long, please refer to the provider's privacy policy: www.hetzner.com/de/legal/privacy-policy

3. Contact

If you contact us via the contact form, e-mail or phone, your details (name, e-mail address, possibly phone number and your message) are stored to process the enquiry and for any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (initiation or fulfilment of a contract) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering your enquiry). We do not pass these data on without your consent and delete them as soon as they are no longer required and no statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Booking enquiries

If a specific booking enquiry is made via our website, we process the data required for this purpose (name, address, e-mail, phone number, preferred travel period, number of guests) for the initiation and execution of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. These data are kept after the end of the stay in accordance with statutory tax and commercial retention periods.

5. Guestbook

You can leave a review in our guestbook on our website. The name you provide, your entry and an optional origin will be stored and publicly displayed after manual approval. Submission is voluntary. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future. We will delete your entry on request at any time — simply send us a short message.

6. Embedded map (OpenStreetMap)

An interactive location map provided by OpenStreetMap is embedded on the "The Apartment" page. OpenStreetMap is operated by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF), St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom.

When loading the map, your browser establishes a direct connection to OpenStreetMap Foundation servers and transmits your IP address. OpenStreetMap uses these data exclusively to operate the map service — no user profiles are created, no tracking is performed and no data are processed for advertising purposes. OpenStreetMap may set functional cookies required for displaying the map.

The legal basis for embedding the map is our legitimate interest in providing a clear illustration of the location of our accommodation in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. For further information on data protection at OpenStreetMap please see: wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

7. Cookies

This website itself sets exactly one cookie, which is technically necessary: the multilingual plugin Polylang stores your selected language version (de / en / nl) in a cookie named "pll_language" so that the site is displayed in the same language on a subsequent visit. Storage period: one year. The legal basis is Section 25 (2) No. 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), as this cookie is strictly necessary for the language-switching function expressly requested by the user; consent is therefore not required. We do not perform any analytics, tracking or use of marketing cookies. For information about cookies set by the embedded OpenStreetMap map service, please see section 6. You can disable the setting of cookies in your browser at any time – in that case, you will have to select your language again on every visit.

8. Your rights as a data subject

You have the right at any time to information (Art. 15 GDPR), correction (Art. 16 GDPR), deletion (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR). Any consent granted can be revoked at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). To exercise your rights, please use the contact details given in the legal notice.

9. Right of complaint to the supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. The competent authority is the Unabhängiges Datenschutzzentrum Saarland, Fritz-Dobisch-Straße 12, 66111 Saarbrücken.

Dispute resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. You can find our e-mail address above in the legal notice. We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
