Privacy Policy

THE SEVEN

We are delighted that you are using our website and finding out about us before, during or after a stay at one of our health hotels. The protection of your privacy and your personal data is of great importance to us. We have therefore implemented technical and organisational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed both by us and by external service providers we engage in connection with our online services. This privacy policy sets out what data we collect and the purposes for which we use this data. This privacy policy applies regardless of the domains, systems, platforms and devices on which the online service is operated. 

The processing of your personal data is, of course, carried out in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act.

Below, we provide information about us as the data controller, as well as the nature, scope and purpose of data collection:

1. The data controller for this data is:

Künig GmbH (FN 216022f)
Maximilianstraße 7
6330 Kufstein

Telephone: +43 5372 90500
Email address: info@das-sieben.com | datenschutz@das-sieben.com

If you have any questions regarding data protection or the processing of your personal data, please contact us by email at datenschutz@das-sieben.com. Immediately before, during or after your stay at our health resort, you are also welcome to contact reception or the management with any questions regarding the processing of your personal data.

2. Legal basis for processing:

As part of our online services, we process users’ personal data, namely master data (e.g. customers’ names and addresses), contractual data (e.g. services used, names of case handlers, payment details), usage data (e.g. the pages visited on our online service, interest in our products) and content data (e.g. entries in the contact form).

The term ‘user’ covers all persons affected by data processing and is to be understood as gender-neutral. ‘Users’ include, in particular, our customers, business partners and other visitors to our online services.

Legal basis for data processing:

  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR);
  • Conclusion and performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR);
  • Compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR);
  • Processing necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, where such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR);

3. SSL encryption / Security

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in the address bar. This ensures that the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Furthermore, this is intended to protect the data we process against accidental or deliberate manipulation, destruction, loss or access by unauthorised persons.

4. Disclosure of data to third parties

We use your personal data only within our company.

Should data be passed on to service providers in the context of commissioned data processing, we also require them to comply with our data protection regulations. We will only disclose your data to authorities entitled to receive such information if we are required to do so by law or by court order.

5. Provision of contractual services

Users can voluntarily create a user account in certain sections of our website, which allows them to view their orders (e.g. vouchers, online bookings, etc.). This user account is not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If you close your user account, your data relating to the account will be deleted, unless retention is necessary for commercial or tax law reasons.

When you register, log in again or use our online services, we store your IP address and the time of the respective user action.

6. Making contact

When you contact us (via the online contact form or by email), the information you provide will be processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry and responding to it.

7. Access data and log files

On the basis of our legitimate interests, we also collect and store information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes: browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and your IP address.

Log file information is stored for a maximum of seven days for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) and is then deleted. Data that needs to be retained for further evidence purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been fully clarified.

This data is not combined with other data sources.

8. Cookies

9. Analysis tool – Google Analytics

(1) This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on users’ computers and enable an analysis of their use of the website.  The information generated by cookies regarding users’ use of the online service is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. 

(2) We have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both the website and the advertising.

(3) Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate users’ use of our online offering, to compile reports on activities within this online offering, and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. 

(4) We use Google Analytics to display adverts placed within Google’s advertising services and those of its partners only to users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interest in content or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics Audiences”). We also use Remarketing Audiences to ensure that our adverts match users’ potential interests and do not appear intrusive.

(5) 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.

(6) 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.

(7) You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly (so-called browser plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. 

(8) Further information on Google’s use of data and options for objecting can be found via the following Google links:

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (Google’s use of data when you use our partners’ websites or apps)

http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (Data usage for advertising purposes)

http://www.google.de/settings/ads (Manage the information Google uses to show you adverts).

(9) Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby guarantees compliance with European data protection law https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

10. Marketing Tool – Google Remarketing

(1) Our websites use the Google Analytics Remarketing features in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. (“Google”)

(2) These functions enable us to display advertisements to our users on our website in a more targeted manner; for example, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone) are also displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC). 

(3) If, for example, a user is shown adverts for products in which they have already expressed an interest on other websites, this is referred to as remarketing. For these purposes, when our website or other websites on which Google tools are active are accessed, a so-called web beacon (code from Google) is executed directly by Google and integrated into the website. With the help of this, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies may also be used instead of cookies). 

(4) Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. These cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected in this way (via conversion cookies) is used to generate conversion statistics. This means, for example, that we only learn the total number of users who have clicked on an advertisement. However, these statistics do not contain any information that could be used to personally identify users. 

(5) The user’s IP address is also recorded; however, within the scope of Google Analytics, we state that the IP address is truncated within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and is only transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases. The IP address is not merged with user data from other Google services. The aforementioned information may also be combined by Google with such information from other sources. When the user subsequently visits other websites, they may be shown advertisements tailored to their interests.

(6) If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will therefore not be included in our conversion tracking statistics.

(7) For further information on Google’s use of data for marketing purposes, please visit the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads; Google’s privacy policy is available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

(8) If you wish to object to interest-based advertising via Google Marketing Services, you can use the settings and opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

(9) Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby guarantees compliance with European data protection law

11. META / Facebook plugins (Like & Share buttons)

(1) This website incorporates plugins from the social network Facebook (provider: Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). You can recognise these Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the ‘Like’ button on our site. You can find an overview of the available Facebook plugins at: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

(2) When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site using your IP address.

14. META / Facebook Pixel

(1) As part of our online offering, we use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" from the social network Facebook on the basis of our legitimate interests in analysing and optimising our online offering. This is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are based in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). 

(2) Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

(3) This allows the behaviour of website visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

(4) The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions regarding the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, enabling a link to be established with the respective user profile and allowing Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to display advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. We, as the operator of this website, have no influence over this use of the data.

(5) The processing of data by Facebook takes place in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy. You can find further information on the protection of your privacy in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Newsletter No. 15

(1) By subscribing to our newsletter offered on our website, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.

(2) We send newsletters, emails and other electronic communications containing promotional information only with the consent of the recipients or where permitted by law. Furthermore, our newsletters contain information about our current offers, news and promotions from our companies.

(3) Registration for our newsletter is carried out exclusively via a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering via the contact form, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register using someone else’s email address or impersonate you. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to verify the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of subscription and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the mailing service provider are also logged.

(4) Mailing service provider: The newsletter is sent via “mailingwerk”, an Austrian newsletter distribution platform. You can view the mailing service provider’s privacy policy here: https://www.netwerk.at/datenschutz/

(5) Our newsletters contain a so-called web beacon (a small file that is retrieved from the mailing service provider’s server when the newsletter is opened). This collects technical information, such as details about your browser and system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval. This information is used to improve the technical aspects of our services. These statistical purposes also include determining whether the newsletter is opened, when it is opened and which links within the newsletter are clicked.

(6) The use of the mailing service provider, the carrying out of statistical surveys and analyses, and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our interest lies in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets users’ expectations.

(7) Unsubscription/Withdrawal – You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. This will simultaneously withdraw your consent to its dispatch by the mailing service provider and to the statistical analyses. Unfortunately, it is not possible to withdraw consent separately for the dispatch by the mailing service provider or for statistical analysis. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of every newsletter. Your personal data will be deleted upon unsubscription.

16. Brochure distribution

(1) You can sign up for a free brochure delivery service via the relevant contact form on our website. Registrations for the brochure delivery service are logged so that we can provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements.

(2) The data you provide will be used exclusively for the brochure delivery you have requested and will not be passed on to third parties. 

(3) Your data will be deleted once the applicable warranty, guarantee, limitation and statutory or contractual retention periods have expired, or, where applicable, once any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence have been resolved.

17. Non-binding enquiries, etc.

(1) You can use the contact form on our website to send a non-binding enquiry to your chosen Vivea health hotel. Enquiries are logged so that we can provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements.

(2) The data you provide will be used exclusively for the enquiry you have made and will not be passed on to third parties. 

(3) Your data will be deleted once the applicable warranty, guarantee, limitation and statutory or contractual retention periods have expired, or, where applicable, once any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence have been resolved.

18. Third-party content and services

(1) Our website incorporates services provided by third parties on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. our interest in the analysis, optimisation and commercial operation of our online offering within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content detect the user’s IP address, as they would be unable to send the content to the user’s browser without it. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. Third-party providers may, amongst other things, use pixel tags (web beacons) for statistical or marketing purposes. These pixels enable information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website to be analysed. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, amongst other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and further details regarding the use of our online service, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

19. Users’ rights

(1) Users have the right, upon request, to receive information free of charge regarding the personal data we hold about them.

(2) With regard to this request for information, we would like to point out that the right set out in Article 15 of the GDPR to request information about the data processed concerning you as the data subject is a highly personal right. Accordingly, we are obliged to obtain and document proof of your identity. This is particularly to ensure that only you, as the data subject, receive information about your data. In doing so, you help us to prevent any misuse of the right to information.

(3) Upon receipt of your proof of identity, we will comply with your request without delay. The statutory period of one month for providing the information, as set out in Article 12 of the GDPR, only begins upon receipt of valid proof of identity.

(4) In addition, users have the right to have inaccurate data rectified, to restrict the processing and erasure of their personal data, where applicable, to exercise their rights to data portability, and, in the event of unlawful data processing, to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. 

(5) Users may also withdraw their consent, generally with effect for the future.

20. Deletion of data

(1) The data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and there are no legal retention obligations preventing its deletion. Where user data is not deleted because it is required for other, legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for any other purposes. This applies, for example, to user data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

(2) In accordance with legal requirements, data is retained for 6 years pursuant to Section 257(1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (commercial ledgers, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial correspondence, accounting documents, etc.), for 10 years in accordance with Section 147(1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) (ledgers, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business correspondence, documents relevant for taxation, etc.)

21. Right to object

Users may object at any time to the future processing of their personal data in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. In particular, they may object to the processing of their data for direct marketing purposes.

22. Changes to the Privacy Policy

(1) We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to bring it into line with changes in the legal landscape, or in the event of changes to the service or data processing. However, this applies only to provisions relating to data processing. Where users’ consent is required, or where parts of the privacy policy contain provisions governing the contractual relationship with users, any amendments will only be made with the users’ consent.

23. Disclaimer

(1) Liability for content 

The content of our website has been compiled with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the content. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws. However, service providers are not obliged to monitor third-party information transmitted or stored by them, nor to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected by this. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the time we become aware of a specific legal infringement. Should we become aware of any such infringements, we will remove this content immediately.

(2) Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. We therefore cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time the links were created. No illegal content was identifiable at the time the links were created. However, it is not reasonable to expect us to monitor the content of the linked pages on an ongoing basis without concrete evidence of a legal infringement. Should we become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.
