We – Austrian Alpine Chalets GmbH– are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we want to inform, respect and give you as much controlas possible over what happens to your personal data. We want to manage and use your personal data safely and respectfully with due care and diligence. In this way, we can serve you better and offer you the best possible experience.

WHAT DOES THE ‘PROCESSING’ OF DATA MEAN

We understand the ‘processing’ of data to mean all processing of personal data.

If we use subcontractors to process data, this will always be done for the purposes covered by this privacy policy. In addition, we will always give clear instructions concerning the processing and stipulate via a processing agreement that the processing must be done in accordance with this privacy policy.

 

WHOSE PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS?

‘Personal Data’ are data that relate to an identifiable person. You may have provided these data yourself, for example by filling in a form on our website. We may also assign data to you obtained through our cooperation, including data received through third parties.

All data that we collect can be combined. We undertake to only process data that are necessary for the purposes covered by this privacy policy.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA

We undertake to implement technical and organisational measures to prevent unlawful access to your personal data and the loss, misuse or alteration of such data.

Despite our safety policy, the checks that we perform and the actions that we take in this respect, an infallible level of security cannot be guaranteed. No method of transfer or transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

However, we do everything we can to protect your personal data and privacy, both within our network and in our office.

Our employees are trained to handle confidential data correctly. We use specialist companies to ensure the security of our ICT network and cloud services.

We also use a variety of technical measures to protect your personal data, such as firewalls, anti-virus software, encryption and access controls.

If a data leak occurs with adverse consequences for your personal data, you will be informed in the circumstances provided for by law.

Our employees are granted access to your personal data insofar as they need that information for the proper performance of their duties.

STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

Unless a longer retention period is required or justified by law or by compliance with another statutory obligation, we retain your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve and fulfil the purposes described in this privacy policy.

The retention period may therefore differ for each purpose. For example, in order to comply with our statutory obligations, we are required to keep financial records for seven years. These archived data are obviously only accessible to a limited extent.
