Data protection declaration in accordance with the Telemedia Act
We are pleased that you are interested in our company and our products and would like you to feel safe when you visit our website with regard to the protection of your personal data. Since the protection of your privacy is particularly important to us, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. When collecting, processing and using personal data as part of the operation of our website, the European Union data protection regulations and German data protection laws apply.
Personal Data
Personal data is information that can be used to learn your identity. This includes information such as your real name, address, postal address and telephone number. Information that is not directly linked to your real identity (such as favorite websites or number of users on a site) is not included.
Anonymized data
Every time the content of this website is accessed, general information is automatically stored (e.g. number and duration of visits to individual pages). These data are not personal. They are used exclusively for statistical purposes and to optimize the Internet offering.
Disclosure of personal information to third parties
In order to process the services arranged or to be provided by us, we pass on your personal data to your respective contractual partner/tour operator and the third parties involved in the provision of the service, to the extent that this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract.
If data is passed on to our contractual partners or third parties, they are bound to our contractual requirements on data protection in addition to the mandatory legal regulations. Collection or transmission of personal data to government institutions and authorities only takes place within the framework of mandatory legal regulations.
Right to information/your rights
You are entitled, upon request and free of charge, to receive information about the data you have stored. You also have the right to correct, delete or block incorrect data. Deletion may be contrary to legal regulations, particularly with regard to data for billing and accounting purposes.
Use of cookies
We use “cookies” (small files containing configuration information). They help to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our website and to increase the ease of use of the product offering. A use of our offers is also possible without cookies. Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are being sent.
Links to other websites
Our website contains links to other websites. This privacy statement does not extend to other providers. We have no influence on whether their operators comply with data protection regulations and therefore assume no responsibility for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of the information provided there.
Use of Facebook plugins
These websites use plugins from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). If you access websites on our website that contain such a plugin, a connection will be established to the Facebook servers and the plugin will be displayed on the website by notifying your browser. This sends information to the Facebook server about which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a Facebook member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you use the plugin functions (e.g. clicking the “Like” button, leaving a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin. Further information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook's data protection information.

Use of the Google “ 1” button
Our website uses the “ 1” button from the social network Google, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043. The button is marked with a “ 1”. The “ 1” button is shorthand for “that’s pretty cool” or “look at that.” The button is not used to track your visits to the web.
If a web page on our website contains the “ 1” button, your Internet browser will load and display this button from the Google server. The website you visit on our website is automatically communicated to the Google server. When you display a 1 button, Google does not log your browser history permanently, but only for a period of up to two weeks.
Google stores this data about your visit for this period for system maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. However, this data is not structured according to individual profiles, usernames or URLs. This information is also not accessible to website publishers or advertisers. The use of this information is only for maintenance and troubleshooting of internal systems at Google. Your visit to a page with a 1 button will not be evaluated in any other way by Google. There is no further evaluation of your visit to a website on our website with a “ 1” button.
1ing itself is a public process, meaning anyone who performs a Google search or views content on the web that you 1 can potentially see that you 1ed that content. Therefore, only give a 1 if you are absolutely sure that you want to share this recommendation with the whole world.
Clicking on this 1 button serves as a recommendation for other users in Google's search results. You can publicly say that you like our website, that you approve of our website or that you recommend our website. If you have registered for Google and are logged in, the 1 button will turn blue when you click on it. The 1 will also be added to the 1 tab in your Google profile. On this tab you can manage your 1 and decide whether you want to make the 1 tab public. In order to save your 1 recommendation and make it publicly accessible, Google collects information about the URL you recommended, your IP address and other browser-related information via your profile. If you withdraw your 1, this information will be deleted. All of your 1 recommendations are listed on the 1 tab in your profile.
Further information on data protection when using the 1 button can be found under the link https://www.google.decom/intl/de/ /policy/ 1button.html.
The clause regarding the use of the Google “ 1” button was created by the Gerstel law firm and can be found at http://www.abmahnungberatung.de.
Social plugins from Twitter
With Twitter and the re-tweet functions, we use so-called “social plugins” from twitter.com, operated by Twitter Inc. 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107. If you use the re-tweet functions , the websites you visit will be disclosed to third parties and linked to your Twitter account. Details on how Twitter handles your data as well as your rights and setting options to protect your personal data can be found in Twitter's data protection information: http://twitter.com/privacy
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states 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. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: http://tools.google.decom/dlpage/gaoptot?hl=de
Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at this link or at this link. We would like to point out that Google Analytics on this website has been expanded to include the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). We also use Google Analytics to evaluate data from AdWords and the double-click cookie for statistical purposes. If you do not want this, you can deactivate this via the ad preferences manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).
