What is personal data?

According to Art. 4 GDPR, personal data is "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who 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".

Data processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Who is responsible for the processing of personal data?

The "controller" of data processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body (including public bodies) which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Who is a data subject affected by data processing

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

What is meant by a processor?

"Processor" is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

2 What sources and data do we use?

We process personal data that we receive from you in connection with the operation of our facilities (Albtherme Waldbronn, Eistreff Waldbronn, Freibad Waldbronn) or in the context of our fulfilment of tasks in tourism (billing of visitor's tax, answering contact enquiries, issuing Waldbronn guest card, Albtal guest card). For purchases in our online shop, we refer separately to data processing in our privacy policy on our homepage www.albtherme-waldbronn.de.

We also process - to the extent necessary for the provision of our services - personal data that we have received from third parties in a permissible manner (e.g. to fulfil legal obligations or on the basis of consent given by you).

Relevant personal data includes personal details (name, address and other contact details, date and place of birth and nationality), legitimisation data (e.g. ID card details) and authentication data (e.g. your signature). In addition, this may also include data about your use of the telemedia we offer (e.g. accessing our website) and other data comparable with the aforementioned categories.

For particularly sensitive data (e.g. health data, religious or ideological beliefs), data processing only takes place with your consent, which expressly refers to this data. The transmission of data by persons who are subject to professional secrecy, e.g. doctors and lawyers, also requires special authorisation from the data subject.

3. what do we process your data for (purpose of processing) and on what legal basis?

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the Baden-Württemberg State Data Protection Act (LDSG) and all other relevant laws. We only collect personal data without the involvement of the data subject if direct collection would require a disproportionate effort.

a) For the fulfilment of contractual obligations

(Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)

If you wish to make use of our services (e.g. make a booking or reservation), submit an enquiry or use our facilities, we generally require personal data from you (e.g. issuing a season ticket for our outdoor pool, making a reservation for the ice rink, registering for courses at the Albtherme, etc.). We use the data collected for communication with you, for invoicing/billing and for other obligations associated with the fulfilment of the contract. The utilisation of our services or the use of our facilities is not possible, or not possible to the full extent, without the processing of your personal data. In addition, we require your personal data for evaluations (compilation of statistics), e.g. to further improve our offers or to fulfil legal obligations.

b) As part of the balancing of interests

(Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)

Where necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of our contractual obligations to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties. These are in particular

  • Measures to safeguard domiciliary rights,
  • Measures for the further development of our services,
  • Assertion and defence of claims in the event of legal disputes,
  • ensuring IT security and IT operations.

c) Based on your consent (Art. 6 (1a) GDPR, Art. 9 (2a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR)

If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes (e.g. advertising or analysing data for marketing purposes), this processing is lawful on the basis of your consent. Insofar as special categories of personal data (e.g. your health data) are required for this purpose, we will obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

Consent that has been granted can be withdrawn at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the General Data Protection Regulation came into force, i.e. before 25 May 2018.

Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.

d) Due to legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR)

In addition, we process your personal data to fulfil legal obligations, such as retention obligations under commercial and tax law or our documentation obligations.

4 Who receives my data?

Within Kurverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH Waldbronn, those departments that need your data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations will have access to it. Processors engaged by us (Art. 28 GDPR) may also receive data for these purposes. The processors are contractually obliged by us to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the BDSG. We currently use processors in the categories of software maintenance, hosting and newsletter dispatch.

With regard to the transfer of data to recipients outside the aforementioned bodies, we only pass on data if this is required by law, if you have given your consent or if we are otherwise authorised to provide information. Under these conditions, recipients of personal data may be, for example: Public authorities and institutions (e.g. tax authorities, law enforcement or customs authorities) if there is a legal or official obligation. Other data recipients may be those bodies for which you have given us your consent to transfer data.

5 How long will my data be stored?

The data provided by you will be processed for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the (contractually) agreed purpose, i.e. as long as the contractual or usage relationship exists. After its termination, the data provided by you will be processed to comply with statutory retention obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests. The existing retention or documentation periods in this respect are generally six or ten years. Finally, the storage period is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, in particular according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB). In individual cases, a retention period of up to thirty years may therefore be considered.

Once the statutory retention periods have expired and/or our legitimate interests no longer apply, the data you have provided will be deleted.

6. is there an obligation to provide data?

In principle, you only have to provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, implementation and termination of our legal relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally not be able to provide our services or will not be able to provide them in full or will have to terminate an existing legal relationship.

7. is data transferred to a third country or an international organisation?

If we transfer personal data to service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the transfer will only take place if the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of data protection or other appropriate data protection guarantees are in place.
