The storage of information on your end device or access to it (e.g., cookies) is only performed with your consent pursuant to § 25, paragraph 1, TDDDG.

This website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus. A contract for order processing has been concluded with the provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
When accessing the website, the following is automatically recorded: IP address, date and time, accessed page, referrer URL, browser and operating system, as well as the HTTP status code. The purpose is the technical delivery of the website and the defense against attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The log files are deleted after 7 days.
To display and function the website, we load some content from external servers. In this case, your browser connects directly to the provider’s server and transmits your IP address; cookies are not set in this case.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a uniform presentation and the functionality of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
To obtain and document your consent, we use the WordPress plugin Complianz (Complianz B.V., Netherlands). Your selection is stored in cookies in your browser and as proof on our server; no data is transmitted to Complianz in this process.

If you contact us via the contact form, by email, or by phone, we process your information (name, email address, message, optionally your phone number) to process your request. The form data is stored in our website database and forwarded to us via email.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your request concerns a booking or a contract; otherwise, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (answering inquiries). We delete the data as soon as the request is finalized, no later than 6 months, unless there are statutory retention obligations.
Reservations and payments do not take place on this website. The „Book“ button and the search form for available dates take you to our booking page at fewoimodenwald.bookpage.io. The travel dates you choose as well as the number and age of the guests are then transmitted.
The person responsible for your booking data is Gernot Schäffter – Fewo im Odenwald (contact details under point 1). The booking software is provided by Smartness Srl, Via Parteli 19, 38068 Rovereto (TN), Italy, VAT number IT02576010223; Smartness receives the booking data insofar as this is necessary for the operation of the booking page.
For a booking or a price inquiry, we process there the name, address, email address, phone number, travel period, number and age of the fellow travelers, as well as accommodation and price. No payment data are processed on this website. The images and logos of the booking page are loaded from servers of Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL in Paris (France), which uses Smartness for the booking page.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (conclusion and execution of the accommodation contract). As far as we are required to collect a registration form in accordance with §§ 29 and 30 of the Federal Registration Act (currently applicable to foreign guests), Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.
When you book one of our holiday apartments through a booking portal such as Booking.com or Airbnb, we do not receive your data directly from you, but from the portal (Art. 14 GDPR). The data transmitted are name, contact details, travel period, number of guests, price and, if applicable, your messages and special requests. The data is sent to us via the Smartness Srl booking system.
We use this data to carry out your stay. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; for registration forms, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. The portal itself handles the processing of data in accordance with its own privacy policy. The storage period and your rights depend on sections 11 and 13.
On some pages, we embed maps from Google Maps (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). The map is only loaded when you agree to the „Marketing“ category or click the map. Your IP address and device data are transmitted to Google; a transmission to the USA is possible (EU-US Data Privacy Framework).
The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Further information: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Any transfer to countries outside the EU/EEA (third countries) only takes place for the above-mentioned services and on the basis of a decision on adequacy (Art. 45 GDPR) or standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).
We store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or as required by legal retention obligations.
