Privacy policy of the Aparthotel Krone

Version from May 2023
In this data protection declaration we, the Aparthotel Krone (operated by Stay Switzerland GmbH), explain how we collect and otherwise process personal data. This is not an exhaustive description; other data protection declarations [or general terms and conditions, conditions of participation and similar documents] may regulate specific matters. Personal data is understood to be all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person.
If you provide us with personal data of other persons (e.g. family members, data of work colleagues), please make sure that these persons are aware of this privacy policy and only share their personal data with us if you are allowed to do so and if this personal data is correct.
This Privacy Policy is designed to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the Swiss Data Protection Act ("DPA") and the revised Swiss Data Protection Act ("revDSG"). However, whether and to what extent these laws are applicable depends on the individual case.

1. data controller / data protection officer / representative

Stay Switzerland GmbH, Wychelstrasse 18, 3800 Matten b. Interlaken [, unless otherwise specified in the individual case] is responsible for the data processing activities we describe here. If you have any data protection concerns, you can send them to us at the following contact address Stay Switzerland GmbH, Wychelstrasse 18, 3800 Matten b. Interlaken management@aparthotelkrone.ch.

2. collection and processing of personal data

We primarily process the personal data that we receive from our customers and other business partners in the course of our business relationship with them and other persons involved in it, or that we collect from their users when operating our websites, apps and other applications.
Aparthotel Krone (operated by Stay Switzerland GmbH) collects the following data for the purpose of room reservations: Name, first name, address, e-mail, telephone number, birthday, gender, means of payment/method and consent to data protection and GTC. This data is necessary for the processing of the reservation of your stay. The data can be deleted at any time, unless otherwise required by law. Aparthotel Krone retains the data for as long as required by law.

3. purposes of data processing and legal basis

We use the personal data we collect primarily to conclude and process our contracts with our customers and business partners, in particular in the context of booking flats with our customers and purchasing services from our payment and booking service providers, as well as to comply with our legal obligations at home and abroad. Please refer to the data protection agreements of our payment or booking service providers.
In addition, we also process personal data about you and other persons, where permitted and where we consider it appropriate, for the following purposes in which we (and sometimes third parties) have a legitimate interest commensurate with the purpose:

- Assertion of legal claims and defence in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;
- Prevention and investigation of criminal offences and other misconduct (e.g. conducting internal investigations, data analysis to combat fraud);
- Guarantees of our operations, in particular IT, our websites, apps and other platforms;
- Video surveillance to maintain house rules and other measures for IT, building and facility security and protection of our employees and other persons and assets belonging to or entrusted to us (such as access controls, network and mail scanners,) The data is deleted immediately when it is no longer required to achieve the purpose (usually monthly);

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (for example, when you register to receive newsletters or carry out a background check), we process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis and we require such a basis. Consent given can be revoked at any time, but this has no effect on data processing that has already taken place.

For this purpose, you usually have to provide further personal data which we use to provide the respective service and for which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.
(3) Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer participation in promotions, competitions, conclusion of contracts or similar services together with partners. You will receive more detailed information on this when you provide your personal data or below in the description of the offer.

(4) If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you about the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.

We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary, or the processing is restricted if there are legal obligations to retain data.

We also use so-called plug-ins from social networks such as Facebook or Instagram on our websites. This is apparent to you in each case (typically via corresponding icons). We have configured these elements so that they are deactivated by default. If you activate them (by clicking on them), the operators of the respective social networks can register that you are on our website and where and can use this information for their purposes. The processing of your personal data is then the responsibility of this operator according to its data protection regulations. We do not receive any information about you from him.

5. data disclosure and data transfer abroad
Within the scope of our business activities and the purposes set out in section 3, we also disclose data to third parties, where permitted and where it appears appropriate to us, either because they process it for us or because they want to use it for their own purposes. This concerns the following bodies in particular:

- Service providers of ours (external, such as web providers, credit card companies), including order processors (such as IT providers);
- Operator Aparthotel: Stay Switzerland GmbH

all recipients together.
These recipients are partly domestic, but can be anywhere on the planet. In particular, you must expect your data to be transferred to all countries, as well as to other countries in Europe and the USA where the service providers we use are located (such as Smoobu).

6. duration of the storage of personal data

We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for example for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation, processing to the termination of a contract) as well as beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. In this context, it is possible that personal data will be retained for the time during which claims can be asserted against our company and insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or legitimate business interests require this (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted or anonymised as a matter of principle and as far as possible. For operational data (e.g. system logs, logs), shorter retention periods of twelve months or less generally apply.

7. data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational security precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorised access and misuse. Obligation to provide personal data
Within the scope of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is required for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations (as a rule, you do not have a legal obligation to provide us with data). Without this data, we will generally not be able to enter into or perform a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent). Also, the website cannot be used if certain information to secure traffic (such as IP address) is not disclosed.

8. rights of the data subject

Within the framework of the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent provided for therein (such as in the case of the GDPR), you have the right to information, correction, deletion, the right to restrict data processing and otherwise to object to our data processing, to the release of certain personal data for the purpose of transfer to another body (so-called data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce the restrictions provided for by law, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, if we have an overriding interest in doing so (insofar as we are entitled to rely on this) or if we need the data to assert claims. If you incur costs, we will inform you in advance. We have already informed you about the possibility of revoking your consent in section 3. Please note that exercising these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have consequences such as premature termination of the contract or costs. We will inform you in advance if this is not already contractually agreed. The exercise of such rights usually requires that you clearly prove your identity (e.g. by a copy of your ID card where your identity is otherwise not clear or cannot be verified). To exercise your rights, you can contact us at the address given in section 1.
Every data subject also has the right to enforce his or her claims in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
