Privacy policy

Protecting your data matters to us. We process it solely on the basis of the GDPR, the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Telecommunications Act (TKG 2021). The German version of this policy is legally binding.

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by our provider Web Experts Austria in Austria. When you visit, the server automatically stores technical data: IP address, date and time, the page requested, browser and operating system, and the previously visited page. We need this data for secure and reliable operation (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). It is deleted after 30 days at the latest, unless a security incident needs to be investigated.

3. Fonts

All fonts are stored on our own server. No connection to Google or other font providers is made.

4. Enquiry form, email and phone

If you contact us via the enquiry form, by email or by phone, we process your details (name, contact details, travel dates, number of guests and message) to answer your enquiry and prepare a booking (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The form sends your details directly to us by email; nothing is stored on the web server. Enquiries that do not lead to a booking are deleted after 12 months at the latest.

5. Online booking and legal obligations

For online bookings we use an external booking system. When you click “Book now”, you are taken there and enter the details we need for your booking (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The provider processes them on our behalf; you'll find details in the booking system itself. We keep booking and invoice data for seven years (§ 132 BAO). For the statutory guest registration under the Austrian Registration Act and the Gosau tourist tax, we process the guest data required by law (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

6. Cookies and local storage

Without your consent we do not set any cookies for analytics or advertising. We only store in your browser whether you agreed to statistics, so we don't ask you again on every visit (§ 165(3) TKG 2021). You can change your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.

7. Google Analytics (only with your consent)

If you consent, we use Google Analytics 4 by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to understand how many guests visit our website. For this, Google sets cookies and processes shortened IP addresses, device and browser data and your usage behaviour. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA, which is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR). The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 165(3) TKG 2021). The data is deleted after 14 months. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

8. Links to other websites

We link to our pages on Facebook and Instagram, to apartments-salzkammergut.at and to regional websites. These are simple links without embedded content. You only leave our website when you click.

9. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR). Write to us at info@almromantik.at. Complaints can be addressed to the Austrian Data Protection Authority: Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, dsb@dsb.gv.at.
