Cooperation with processors and third parties
If we disclose data to other people and companies (processors or third parties) as part of our processing, transmit them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if the data is transmitted to third parties, as to payment service providers, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 b GDPR for the fulfillment of the contract), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes (in this connection also: stores) the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or,
if the processing is required by the European legislative and regulatory authorities, or laid down in another law or regulation to which the controller is liable.
If the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or by any other relevant legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Privacy in recruitment and in the application process
The controller collects and processes personal data for the purposes of the application procedure. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case where an applicant submits the corresponding documents to the controller by means of electronic communications, e.g. by e-mail. If the controller concludes a contract of employment with one applicant, the transmitted data are stored for the purpose of executing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude a contract of employment with any of the applicants, the application documents will automatically be deleted six months after the notification of letter of rejection, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. In this context other legitimate interest means for instance a burden of proof in legal proceedings pursuant to the General Law on Equal Treatment (AGG).

Security of personal data
Our company, Gastwerk Hotel Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG, shall take numerous technical and organizational measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or illegal destruction, alteration, loss, unlawful disclosure or unauthorized access.
Nevertheless, for instance internet-based data transfer can principally bear gaps in the security, and therefore absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to communicate personal data to us in an alternative way, for instance by telephone.
Website Encryption
This site uses SSL- or rather TLS-encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in the browser line.
If encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Collection of general data and information
The website of Gastwerk Hotel Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG collects a number of general data and information each time the website is accessed by data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Following data can be collected:
- browser types and versions used
- operating system used by the accessing computer
- website from which an accessing system gets to our website (so called referrers)
- sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
- date and time of access to our website
- web protocol address (IP address)
- internet service provider of the accessing system
- other similar data and information, which is used to protect our information technology systems against possible attacks
When using this general data and information, our company, Gastwerk Hotel Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG, does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. In fact, this information is needed in order:
- to deliver the contents of our website correctly
- to optimize the content of our website as well as possibly the advertising for it
- to ensure long-term functionality of our information technology systems and of the technology on our website
to provide law enforcement authorities with necessary information related to criminal prosecution in case of a cyberattack
This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by our company, Gastwerk Hotel Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG, on the one hand statistically, and on the other hand to increase data protection and data security in our company, and last but not least to ensure the best possible level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.
This data is not amalgamated with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - the server log files must be recorded for this.
Request by E-Mail, Phone or Fax
If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax, your request, including all personal data resulting from it (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially legal storage periods - remain unaffected.
Data transmission via web form
Data subject has an option to register on the website of the controller stating his or her personal data. During the registration process the respective entry windows indicate, which personal data are transmitted to the controller. The personal data entries made by the data subject are exclusively intended for internal use of the controller, this data is collected and stored for the purposes of own use. The controller can transmit the data to one or to several processor(s), e.g. to parcel service which also makes only internal use of the personal data and acts under the responsibility of the controller.
By registration on the website of the controller the following data is also stored: data subject’s IP address, which the internet service provider has assigned, the date and the exact time at the moment of the registration. These data are stored against the background of being the only way to prevent misuse of our services. If necessary, these data can enable clearing up offences or copyright infringements committed. Insofar it is necessary to store this data as to protect the controller. In general, these data are not transmitted to a third party, unless there is a legal obligation to a transmission, or the data transmission serves legal pursuit of rights or criminal prosecution.
When the data subject registers himself or herself on the website and voluntarily supplies personal data, it enables the controller to offer to him or her content and services, which can by the very nature of the issues only be offered to registered users.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).

Links to other websites
Our websites contain links to other websites (so called external links).
Our company, Gastwerk Hotel Hamburg GmbH & Co. KG, is as a supplier responsible for the contents of our own as required by the European and national legislation in force. Our own contents are to be distinguished from links to contents provided by other suppliers.

Cookies: We use cookies in order to further improve our internet presentation for you, make it more user-friendly and to tailor it as well as possible to meet your needs. Cookies are small text data files, which a webserver sends to your internet browser when you visit a website. The cookies are stored locally on your terminal (personal computer, notebook, tablet, smartphone etc.).
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain so called cookie ID, which is a unique identifier of the cookie. Cookie ID consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can trace back the actual web browser, on which the cookie is stored. This allows the visited web pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. The purpose of this information is to automatically recognize you and to facilitate your navigation, when you visit the website again with the same device.
You can also consent or reject cookies - also for web tracking - via the settings of your web browser. You can configure your web browser so that it blocks cookies generally, or you will be warned in advance when a new cookie is about to be stored. In this case, however, the functionality of the website may be impaired (for example when placing orders). Your browser also offers a function to delete cookies (for instance by choosing “Clear browsing data”. This is possible in all common web browsers. Further information can be found in the user manual or in the settings of your browser.
First-party cookies: First-party cookies are permanent cookies that are stored on the computer and only lose their validity when the expiry date assigned to them has expired. The word "party" refers to the domain from which the cookie originated. In contrast to third-party cookies, first-party cookies usually come from the website operator itself. They are therefore not accessible to browsers across domains. For example, website A assigns a cookie A, which is not recognized by website B, but can only be recognized by website A. This means that data cannot be passed on to third parties.
Third-party cookies: With a third-party cookie, the cookie is set and recorded by a third party. These cookies are mostly used by advertisers who use their cookies on other websites to collect information about website visitors using the cookies. These are data records that are stored in the user's web browser when he visits a page with the advertisement. If he visits a page with advertising from the same provider again, he will be recognized.

In general, the data is passed on to third parties only if the disclosure is necessary for the purpose of executing a contract, or for billing purposes, or to collect a fee, or if you have expressly given your consent to it. In this regard we pass on only the data required in each specific case. Categories of data recipients are
the respective delivery / mail order company (disclosure of name and address),
debt collection agencies, if the payment must be collected forcibly (disclosure of name, address and order details), payment institutions for the purpose of collecting debts, insofar as you have chosen direct debit as the method of payment, payment service providers - depending on the choice of payment method.
Legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) of the GDPR. With regard to the voluntary data, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) of the GDPR. A contract for processing orders was concluded between the controller and the company Incert.
The collected compulsory information is required to perform the contract with the user (for the purpose of sending the goods and confirming the content of the contract). We use thus the data to answer your inquiries, to process your booking, when appropriate to check the creditworthiness, or the recovery of a claim, as well as for the purpose of technical administration of the websites. The voluntary information is provided to prevent misuse and, where appropriate, to help clearing up criminal offences. We may also process the information you provide to inform you about other interesting products in our portfolio, or to send you e-mails containing information.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the achievement of the purpose for which it is collected. Due to commercial and tax regulations, we are obliged to save your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years after execution of the contract. However, after 7 years, we restrict processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. If there is a continuing obligation between us and the user, we store the data during the entire contract period, and for a period of ten years thereafter (see above). With regard to the data provided voluntarily, we will delete the data on the expiry of the seven-year-period from the date of the execution of the contract, insofar as no further contract is concluded with the user during this time; if this is the case, the data will be deleted when 7 years have passed after the date of execution of the last contract.
If the data are necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures, a premature deletion of the data is only possible, insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not preclude a deletion. Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided on registration deleted from the database of the controller as stated in the Section 1. With regard to the voluntary data, you can at any time withdraw your consent to processing by giving a notice to the controller as stated in the Section 1. In this case the voluntarily given data will be deleted immediately.

- E-mail address of the user
- The salutation
- The first name and surname
- Possibly the place of residence
In addition, the following data is collected during registration:
- The IP address of the calling computer
- The date and time of registration
For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained during the registration process and reference will be made to the data protection declaration.
For the documentation of the newsletter consent and to prevent misuse of your data, we use the so-called Double-Opt-In-Procedure. By this procedure we ensure that the recipient really wants to receive our newsletter. After registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your newsletter registration. Only after the confirmation we will be sending our newsletter.
The newsletter registrations are logged to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your stored data are also logged.
If you purchase goods or services on our website and enter your e-mail address, we may subsequently use this to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for our own goods or services. In connection with the data processing for the dispatch of newsletters, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
Newsletters are sent via the web-based dailypoint™ marketing software, a marketing platform of the provider Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH, Augustenstr. 79, 80333 Munich, Germany.
The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on the servers of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH servers in Germany.
Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH may also use this information to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter. Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH does not, however, use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties.
Furthermore, we have entered into a Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) with Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH in accordance with Art. 28 Para 3 GDPR. This is a contract in which Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection regulations and in particular not to pass it on to third parties.
The collection of the user's e-mail address is used to send the newsletter. The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. The user's e-mail address as well as the date and time of registration are therefore stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The other personal data collected during the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.
The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. This also enables the user to revoke his or her consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.
The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file which is saved when opening the newsletter of the server of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH is called up. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or the access times.
Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 Para. 3 UWG.
Consent to the sending of e-mail addresses is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, Art. 7 GDPR and § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 or Para. 3 UWG. The use of the dispatch service provider Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration procedure are carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We are interested in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests, including direct advertising, and meets the expectations of the users.
If we use your personal data for direct advertising, you can object to this at any time by notifying us in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. The privacy policy of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH can be viewed here: https://www.dailypoint.com/privacypolicy/
