We only store the data you provide to us in order to make a booking (arrival date, departure date, names, etc.). However, since we cannot rule out that Google or similar providers collect data, and in order to be legally compliant, please find below our Privacy Policy:

1. Information on the Collection of Personal Data (1) The following provides information on the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data refers to all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, email address, or user behavior. The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (for example, name, address, email address, or mobile number) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible. The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of this site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

When contacting us by email, processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
