3. General notes and obligatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages 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.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible entity

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Hotel am Stephansplatz Betriebs

GmbH Stephansplatz 9

1010 Vienna, Austria

Management: Mr. Walter R. Elsässer

Phone: +43 1 534050

E-mail: office@hotelamstephansplatz.at

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website.

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG.

Data Protection Officer

Hotel am Stephansplatz Betriebsges. m. b. H.

Felix Neutatz, General Manager

E-mail: direktion@hotelamstephansplatz.at

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO) IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) DSGVO).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2) DSGVO).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

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 recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, 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.

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 for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has occurred/is occurring unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. 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, except for their storage, these data may 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 significant public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security and the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

If, after concluding a paid contract, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit), these data are required for payment processing.
Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact information published in accordance with the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as through spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically removes them.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our website (third-party cookies). These cookies enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g., cookies for payment processing services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertisements.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent is requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is carried out solely on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases, or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

In cases where cookies are used by third-party companies or for analytical purposes, we will inform you separately within the scope of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

Consent with Borlabs Cookie

Our website uses the Borlabs Cookie consent technology to obtain your consent for storing certain cookies in your browser or for the use of certain technologies while ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg (hereinafter referred to as Borlabs).

When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents are saved. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The data collected will be stored until you ask us to delete it, or until the Borlabs cookie itself is deleted, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected. Details on the data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.

The use of Borlabs Cookie consent technology is for obtaining the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

No merging of this data with other data sources is performed. The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website, for which the server log files must be captured.

Contact Form

When you submit inquiries to us via a contact form, the information provided in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, is stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), if requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the completion of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via Email, Telephone, or Fax

When you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), is stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The data sent to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the completion of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – especially legal retention periods – remain unaffected.

Facebook

This website integrates elements of the Facebook social network. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and Facebook's server.

6. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or conduct independent analyses. It is solely used for the management and deployment of the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which can also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in quickly and easily integrating and managing various tools on their website. If consent has been requested, the processing is based exclusively on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG, provided that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and the user's origin. This data is assigned to the user's respective device. It is not associated with a user ID.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide the website operator with further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Data Processing Agreement

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.

With Matomo, we can collect and analyze data about how visitors use our website. This allows us to determine when page views occurred and where visitors come from. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers, and operating systems used) and can measure if our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, and the like).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both the website offering and its advertising. If consent has been requested, the processing is based exclusively on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG, provided that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We use IP anonymization during the analysis with Matomo. This means your IP address is shortened before analysis, making it no longer uniquely identifiable.

Hosting

We exclusively host Matomo on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not shared.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads, an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads allows us to display ads in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter specific search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted ads can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests). As website operators, we can quantitatively analyze this data, such as analyzing which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign people who interact with our online offering to specific target groups in order to display interest-based advertising to them in the Google advertising network (remarketing or retargeting). Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device capabilities. This allows interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been customized for you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) to also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you can opt out of personalized advertising by following this link: [https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/](https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/).

With Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate how often certain buttons on our website are clicked and which products are viewed or purchased most frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics.

Facebook Pixel

This website uses the Facebook Pixel for conversion tracking. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the collected data may also be transferred to the USA and other third countries.

The Facebook Pixel allows tracking of visitor actions after they click on a Facebook ad to be redirected to the provider's website. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and optimizes future advertising campaigns.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website, and we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, Facebook stores and processes the data, allowing a connection to the respective user profile and enabling Facebook to use the data for its advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy. This allows Facebook to display ads on Facebook and outside of Facebook. We, as the website operator, cannot influence this use of the data.

The use of this service is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.

The data you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and it will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they view the video. However, the extended privacy mode does not necessarily exclude data sharing with YouTube's partners. Regardless of whether you view a video, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network.

When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. YouTube is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This is used to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

Further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting). The consent is revocable at any time.

The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts for the purpose of uniform font display. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy findability of the locations we have indicated on the website.

Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data to establish, shape the content of, and modify our contractual relationships. We only collect, process, and use personal data regarding the use of this website (usage data) as necessary to enable the user to access the service or for billing purposes.

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or through an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected within the framework of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and your data will be treated with the utmost 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 taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiating an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. Your personal data will only be disclosed within our company to individuals involved in the processing of your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of executing the employment relationship based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Data Retention Period

If we cannot offer you a job, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to keep the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months after the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. Storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the six-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

A longer storage period can also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we cannot offer you a job, there may be the possibility of including you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The provision of consent is voluntary and unrelated to the ongoing application process. The data subject can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless there are legal retention reasons.

Data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after consent is given.
