Privacy Policy and Information

in accordance with Art. 13 and 14 GDPR

1. General information

The protection of your personal data is a special concern for us. We therefore process your data exclusively in a legal manner based on the statutory provisions (GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), DSG (German Data Protection Act) 2018, TKG (Telecommunications Act) 2021). In this privacy information we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing - the type, scope and purposes of collection as well as the use of personal data - in the context of the use of our website and in the context of other services provided by our company.

1.1. Controller responsible for the processing of your data

The controller (as defined in Art. 4 Z 7 GDPR) responsible for processing your personal data (personal data as defined in Art. 4 Z 1 GDPR) is:

Tourismusverband WILDER KAISER
Dorf 35
A-6352 Ellmau
Tel. +43 50509
Email: datenschutz@wilderkaiser.info

Data Protection Officer:
We take the protection of personal data very seriously and we have appointed an external data protection officer for this purpose. Our data protection officer is Martin Zeppezauer, Thurnbichlweg 50, A-6353 Going am Wilden Kaiser (www.zepedes.com). You can contact our Data Protection Officer using the following email address: martin@zepedes.com.

1.2. Purposes, data categories and the legal basis for the processing personal data

Purposes of processing
The purposes of processing your personal data normally arise from our business activities as a tourist organisation: provision of our online offers, processing customer inquiries / orders / bookings, accounting, communication with business partners and customers. For detailed information about the purposes of processing and, if applicable, further processing for other compatible purposes, and about categories of processed data, please refer to the detailed descriptions of the individual data processing processes.

General data categories

  • Personal master data (e.g. name, date of birth and age, address)
  • Contact details (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, fax number)
  • Communication data (time and content of a communication)
  • Order data or booking data (e.g. goods or services ordered and invoice data such as a service period, method of payment, invoice date, tax identification number ...)
  • Payment data (e.g. account number, credit card data)
  • Contract data (content of any type of contracts)
  • Web usage data (e.g. server data, log files and cookies)

Special data categories ("sensitive data") in accordance with Art. 9 GDPR

  • Health data (only insofar as this is provided to based on your express consent for the processing of your order (e.g. arrangement of a hotel specialising in guests with food intolerances or allergies))

Legal bases for processing
In principle, there is no obligation to provide data for the data processing described in this privacy policy. Failure to provide this information will only result in inability on our part to provide these services. The legal basis for processing your personal data, which is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you or an order from you to us, is Art. 6 (1) b GDPR. Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation by us (an accounting or bookkeeping obligation or other legal documentation requirements), Art. 6 (1) C GDPR serves as the legal basis. If we process your data to carry out a task assigned to us in the public interest ("sovereign action"), the legal basis will be Art. 6 (1) e GDPR. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override our interest, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR ("legitimate interest") will serve as the legal basis for processing. In such a case we will also inform you about our legitimate interests. Insofar as we have no other legal basis for processing of personal data as outlined above, we will ask for your consent for the processing of data, whereby in these cases we rely on Art. 6 (1) a GDPR or, in a case where sensitive data is processed, on Art. 9 (2) a GDPR as the legal basis. You may revoke this consent at any time free of charge without affecting the legality of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of revocation.

1.3. Data transfer to processors and third parties

We process your personal data with the aid of processors who help us to provide our services. These processors are bound by a corresponding agreement with us as defined by Art. 28 GDPR to strictly protect your personal data and they may not process your personal data for any purpose other than for the provision of our services. You can find out which processors are involved in the detailed descriptions of individual data processing procedures.

A transfer of your personal data to companies other than our order processors is made to service providers typical third parties such as banks, tax advisors or auditors. Personal data will only be transferred to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legal regulations.

Depending on your order (e.g. for bookings and inquiries), your personal data will be transferred only to the extent required and, if applicable, also to hotel partners or other tourist service providers (members of our organization), who are needed for the fulfilment of your order. Personal data transferred varies depending on the service.

1.4. Transfers to third countries

In principle, we process your personal data in the EU area. If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this takes place in the context of the use of services of our processors or third parties, this will only happen if the requirements of Article 44 et seq. GDPR for transfers to third countries are complied with, i.e. based on special guarantees such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection commensurate with the EU or in compliance with officially recognised contractual obligations, the so-called "EU standard contractual clauses". If we rely on the EU standard contractual clauses as a legal basis for the transfer of your personal data, we will also examine the permissibility of this data transfer as part of a comprehensive risk assessment. If we arrive at a negative result, we will not transfer this data to a third country without your express consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.

Data transfer to the USA
Through the services integrated in this website, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads Conversion Tracking, Google Remarketing, Google Adsense, Facebook-Pixel, Adform, Pinterest Tag (Pinterest Conversion Tracking), Google Maps, Google ReCAPTCHA, YouTube, Snapengage Live-Chat Tool and Cloudfront, your data will (at least in some cases) also be transferred to the USA. Authorities or secret services in the USA can access your data without giving you legal recourse. The ECJ has therefore determined that there is no sufficient level of data protection in the sense of Art. 44 to 50 GDPR for data transfers from the EU to the USA. For this reason, the legal basis for the use of this service is your express consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR.

1.5. Data erasure and storage period

Your personal data will be erased by us as soon as the purpose for which we collected your data no longer applies. Data may also be stored if we process the data for a purpose compatible with the original purpose. It may also take place if this is provided for by laws, ordinances or by other regulations that our company is subject to.

1.6. Data sources

We collect your personal data only from you; we do not use any other data sources.

1.7. Profiling

We do not use any automated decision-making or profiling procedures that have a legal effect against you that would affect you significantly in a similar way. However, with your consent, we will use your usage data to get a better picture of your interests to enable us to present information of interest to you or to give you tailor-made offers or to be able to display relevant information to you on third-party websites or social media platforms.

1.8. Safeguarding your data protection rights

In principle, you have the right in accordance with the GDPR to information, correction, erasure, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. For this purpose, please contact us as the controller using the contact details provided in this privacy information. You will find a detailed explanation of these rights here in Section III.

Right of appeal
If you believe that the processing of your data breaches data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been breached in a way, you may lodge a complaint with the relevant regulatory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority (Wickenburggasse 8, 1080 Vienna, e-mail dsb@dsb.gv.at).

If you register for "My Kaiser" via Google or Facebook we will not collect or process any type of personal data that you have entered in Google or Facebook. Authentication via Google or Facebook will be subject to the respective provider's terms of use. By registering, the user grants consent in accordance with Art 6 (1) a GDPR that his personal data (title, first name, surname, e-mail address, password, address, telephone number, individually created watch list, booked services) may be stored by the operator and used for the provision of additional content. The personal data provided will be stored for the duration of the registration or beyond it in accordance with statutory retention periods and for a maximum of 3 years thereafter and then erased. The purpose of storage after registration is to identify the individual responsible if regulations breached. This is therefore in the overwhelming interest of the operator in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. The user will receive more detailed information about the additional content during the registration process.

Registration “BürgerCard, StaffCard, FreizeitwohnsitzCard (HolidayHomeCard)"
Registration is not required for the use of this website.

If the legality for specific data processing is based on the user's consent, this consent may be revoked at any time (including partial revocation) by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@wilderkaiser.info.

The Google Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a domain which does not set cookies or collect any other personal data. The tool triggers other tags that may in turn collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented by means of Google Tag Manager. For more information about Google's privacy policy, go to: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

This website uses the functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited ("Google") (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). The legal basis for the use of this service is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on the site visitor's computer and which facilitate an analysis of the use of our website by the site visitor. The information generated by the cookie relating to your use of our website is usually stored on European servers and it is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there only in exceptional cases. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that your IP address will usually be truncated by Google within the European Union and the full IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there only in exceptional cases. The IP address transferred by the relevant browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with any other Google data. On our behalf, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website to compile reports about website activities. Collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor by adjusting the cookie settings for this website.

If you have granted consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be activated on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

We integrate third-party content within our website, e.g. videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites.
