Data Privacy The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. 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) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Notice regarding the responsible party: The responsible party for data processing on this website is: Hotel – Restaurant Waldklause, Owner: Carmen Stickling, Spexarder Str. 205, 33334 Gütersloh, Germany, Phone: 49 5241 9763 0, Email: info@hotel-waldklause.de. The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.). Revocation of your consent to data processing: Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR): IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. If the processing of your personal data is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you, including profiling based on those provisions. The specific legal basis for processing can be found 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 serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for 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 Article 21(2) GDPR). Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority: In the event of violations 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. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) and the processing is carried out by automated means. If you request the direct transfer of your data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible. SSL/TLS encryption: This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Information, deletion, and correction: Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need 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 was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure. If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear 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, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State. Objection to advertising emails: The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time. Other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy. Server log files: The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically flawless presentation and optimization of its website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose. Contact Form: If you send us inquiries via our contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if such consent has been requested. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected. Inquiries via email, telephone, or fax: When you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR if your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us. The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected. Processing of data (customer and contract data): We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, defining the content of, or amending the contractual relationship (master data). This is done on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data concerning the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to access the service or for billing purposes. The collected customer data is deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Data transfer upon conclusion of contracts for services and digital content: We transfer personal data to third parties only if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example, to the credit institution commissioned with processing payments. Further transfer of data does not occur, or only if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

Handling of Applicant Data We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via our online application form). Below, we inform you about 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 with strict confidentiality. Scope and Purpose of Data Collection When you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary for deciding whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with individuals involved in processing your application. If your application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship, based on Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) and Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the GDPR. Data Retention Period: If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted for up to six months from the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR). After this period, the data will be deleted and any physical application documents destroyed. This retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of legal proceedings. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to threatened or pending legal proceedings), deletion will only occur when the purpose for the extended retention no longer applies. Extended retention may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.
