3.1 Booking

When you use the "Book Now" function, you will automatically be redirected to the booking portal of the Wyndham Hotel Group (22 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054, USA).

Please note that this privacy policy is not valid there. The privacy policy of the Wyndham Hotel Group applies, which can be accessed at https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/de-de/about-us/privacy-notice.

When you make a booking at our hotel, your personal data will be transmitted to us by the Wyndham Hotel Group. Please assert your rights in relation to the booking portal directly with the Wyndham Hotel Group.

3.2 Newsletter

Our email newsletters are sent using "MailChimp", a newsletter delivery platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf.

Furthermore, MailChimp may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties. The privacy policy of MailChimp can be found here:https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

Statistical survey and analyses
The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and your reading behavior based on the retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. 5.

Statistical surveys also include the determination of whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of MailChimp to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize 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.

    In the event of a win, we will also request the following data from you:

Any further use or disclosure of the video recordings will only take place if this is necessary in the context of a possible criminal prosecution. In this case, the recipients are the competent law enforcement authorities.

We use external service providers for the maintenance of the video surveillance system, whereby access to the video surveillance system or stored video recordings cannot be excluded.

The deletion of the video recordings takes place 10 days after recording, provided that no special incidents have occurred that justify or require further storage.
