Data Protection

This privacy policy covers the collection and use of personal data

The protection of your personal data is of particular importance to us. We therefore process your data exclusively in accordance with the relevant legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the key aspects of data processing in connection with our website. 

Consent

Information in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We are delighted that you have taken an interest in our company. Data protection is a top priority for the Parkhotel Graz.
In principle, it is possible to use the Parkhotel Graz website without providing any personal data. However, should a data subject wish to make use of specific services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally seek the consent of the data subject.The processing of personal data – such as a data subject’s name, address, email address or telephone number – is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Parkhotel Graz.
Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects of their rights.
As the data controller, Parkhotel Graz has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most comprehensive possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, be subject to security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to provide us with personal data via alternative channels, such as by telephone.

Parkhotel Graz’s privacy policy is based on the terminology used by the European legislators and regulators when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used at the outset.

a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the ‘data subject’). A natural person is regarded as identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) data subjects

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller. 

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is carried out on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of making available, the matching or linking, the restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing refers to the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures that ensure the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Data controller or controller

The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) Data processor

A data processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, regardless of whether or not they are a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered to be recipients.

j) Third

A ‘third party’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, expressed in the form of a statement or other clear affirmative action, by which the data subject indicates that they agree to the processing of their personal data.

The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions relating to data protection is:

Web site: www.parkhotel-graz.at

On the Parkhotel Graz website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input form used for this purpose.
Parkhotel Graz informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals about the company’s offers via a newsletter. In principle, the data subject can only receive our company’s newsletter if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address initially provided by a data subject when registering for the newsletter, using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the holder of the email address, as the data subject, has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When you subscribe to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of subscription, as well as the date and time of the subscription. The collection of this data is necessary to enable us to trace any (potential) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the data controller.The personal data collected when subscribing to the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of sending out our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email where this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration purposes, as might be the case with changes to the newsletter content or alterations to the technical conditions. Personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be disclosed to third parties. The data subject may cancel their subscription to our newsletter at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given to us for the purpose of sending the newsletter, may be withdrawn at any time. A link for withdrawing consent is provided in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the data controller’s website or to notify the data controller of this in another manner.

In accordance with legal requirements, the Parkhotel Graz website contains information that enables users to contact our company quickly by electronic means and to communicate directly with us; this also includes a general electronic mail address (e-mail address). Where a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject is stored automatically. Such personal data, provided voluntarily by a data subject to the data controller, is stored for the purposes of processing the enquiry or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties.

The data controller shall process and store the data subject’s personal data only for the period necessary to fulfil the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislative authorities or by another legislative authority in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.
 If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a retention period prescribed by the European legislative and regulatory authorities or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to request confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. Should a data subject wish to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.

b) Right of access

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information regarding the personal data stored about them and a copy of that information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain the following information:

• the purposes of the processing
• the categories of personal data being processed
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular where recipients are in third countries or are international organisations
• where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
• the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
• the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
• where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information regarding the origin of the data
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and – at least in such cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the intended consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject is also entitled to receive information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer. Should a data subject wish to exercise this right, they may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request that incomplete personal data be completed – including by means of a supplementary statement. Should a data subject wish to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, as granted by European legislation, to request that the controller erase the personal data relating to them without delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

• The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
• The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
• The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
• The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If any of the above reasons apply and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Parkhotel Graz, they may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time. The Data Protection Officer at Parkhotel Graz or another member of staff will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with without delay.
If the personal data has been made public by Parkhotel Graz and our company, as the data controller, is obliged to erase the personal data in accordance with Article 17(1) of the GDPR, Parkhotel Graz shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the costs of implementation, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to this personal data or any copies or replicas of this personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The Data Protection Officer at Parkhotel Graz or another member of staff will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, as granted by European legislation, to request that the controller restrict the processing if any of the following conditions are met:

• The data subject disputes the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful; the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted.
• The controller no longer requires the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.

Provided that one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data held by Parkhotel Graz, they may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time. The Data Protection Officer at Parkhotel Graz or another member of staff will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

f) Right to data portability

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, in so far as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.To exercise their right to data portability, data subjects may contact the data protection officer appointed by Parkhotel Graz or another member of staff at any time.

g) Right to object

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, the Parkhotel Graz will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.Where Parkhotel Graz processes personal data for the purposes of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data for the purposes of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Parkhotel Graz regarding processing for the purposes of direct marketing, Parkhotel Graz will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them carried out by Parkhotel Graz for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the Data Protection Officer at Parkhotel Graz or another member of staff directly. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller; or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject; or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is it made with the data subject’s explicit consent, Parkhotel Graz shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms as well as their legitimate interests, including at least the right to request human intervention on the part of the controller, to set out their own point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their rights in relation to automated decision-making, they may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, as granted by European legislation, to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If a data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific purpose of processing. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party – as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration – the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of enquiries regarding our products or services. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation which necessitates the processing of personal data, such as to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.  This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information subsequently had to be disclosed to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, second sentence, of the GDPR).

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the relevant statutory retention period. Once this period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for entering into a contract.

14. Legal or contractual requirements regarding the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; the data subject’s obligation to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is, in some cases, required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. details of the contracting party). In some instances, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer will advise the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, as to whether the provision of personal data is required by law or under a contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract; whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data; and what the consequences would be of failing to provide the personal data.

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
