Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section ‘Information on the responsible body’ in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected, on the one hand, by you providing it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website via our IT systems. This consists primarily of technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page visit). This data is collected automatically as soon as you access this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure the website functions correctly. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to obtain information, free of charge, about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. Furthermore, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions on the subject of data protection.

Analytics tools and third-party tools

When you visit this website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is primarily done using so-called analytics programmes.

You can find detailed information on these analytics programmes in the following privacy policy.

2. Hosting

Hosting with All-Inkl

We host our website with All-Inkl. The provider is ALL-INKL.COM - Neue Medien Münnich, owned by René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf (hereinafter: All-Inkl). For details, please refer to All-Inkl’s privacy policy: https://all-inkl.com/datenschutzinformationen/.

The use of All-Inkl is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring our website is presented as reliably as possible. Where consent has been sought, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

3. General information and mandatory notices

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

Information on the data controller

The data controller for data processing on this website is:

Hotel Reichsküchemeister

Niedner und Rother GmbH

Kirchplatz 8

91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Telephone: (0 98 61) 9 70-0

Email: hotel@reichskuechenmeister.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, erasure will take place once these grounds no longer apply.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

We use, amongst other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer adequate data protection standards. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(e) E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Right to access, erasure and rectification

In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to have this data rectified or erased. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in accordance with the legal notice requirement for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions requested by you (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web traffic) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the aforementioned provider. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analytics tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used and the user’s origin. Google may summarise this data in a profile assigned to the respective user or their device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. Where consent has been sought (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymisation

We have enabled the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Demographic features in Google Analytics

This website uses the ‘demographic features’ function of Google Analytics to display relevant advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This enables reports to be generated that contain information on the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google and from visitor data provided by third parties. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the section ‘Objection to data collection’.

Retention period

Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after 14 months. For further details, please see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

6. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with enhanced privacy settings

This website embeds YouTube videos. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established with YouTube’s servers. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to link your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, amongst other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.

Where applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video has started, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online services in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Where consent has been sought, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure a consistent display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google’s servers is established.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence over this data transmission. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts for the purpose of displaying fonts consistently. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of presenting our online services in an appealing manner and ensuring that the locations specified on our website are easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Where consent has been sought, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is designed to verify whether data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a human or by an automated programme. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g. IP address, the length of time the website visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of the data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service via the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

7. Our own services

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by email, post or via the online application form). Below, we provide information on the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication details, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general initiation of a contract) and – provided you have given your consent – Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company exclusively with those persons involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the candidate pool

If we do not make you a job offer, there may be the option of adding you to our candidate pool. If you are included, all documents and details from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you should suitable vacancies arise.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary and is not linked to the current application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
