What personal information we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors post comments on the site, we collect the information displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user-agent string (which identifies the browser) to help detect spam.
Your e-mail address can be used to create an anonymous string of characters (also known as a hash) that can be passed on to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. You can find the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment has been published, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload photos to this site, you should avoid uploading photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to this site may download photos stored on this site and extract their location information.
Contact forms
When you request availability informations about holiday homes, we collect the data displayed in the request form.
This information may include the desired arrival date, the desired departure date, the number of people, the first name, the last name, the postal code, the city, the e-mail address, the country, the telephone number, the street, the house number and the message you typed. This information is necessary to respond to your request and to send you an offer for a rental contract, if necessary. In addition, the IP address of the visitor and the user-agent string (which identifies the browser) can be stored to help detect spam. The data is stored until the final processing of the request, which means at most until the end of your stay or until the rejection of your request.
Cookies
Cookies are text files generated by a website and placed on your computer or on any other device used to access the website. Cookies are used on this website for various purposes, which are described below.
When you write a comment on our website, you may be giving us permission to store your name, e-mail address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that when you write another comment, you do not have to re-enter all this information. These cookies are stored for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any identifiable information and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set some cookies to store your login information and viewing options. Login cookies expire after two days and viewing options cookies expire after one year. If you select “Stay logged in” when you log in, your login will be sustained for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are deleted.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only references the contribution ID of the article you have just edited. The cookie expires after one day.
By selecting the language, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only references the selected language.
Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites will behave exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These sites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking services from third parties and record your interaction with that embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content, if you have an account and are logged on to this site.
To display maps and markers on the maps we integrate the service “OpenStreetMap” (https://www.openstreetmap.de).
This service is offered by the OpenStreetMap Foundation based on the Open Data Commons Open Database License. The OpenStreetMap Privacy Policy can be found at: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy .
By using the OpenStreetMap maps, the same data is sent to the OpenStreetMap Foundation that would be transferred when using the services on the site of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. This data may include in particular IP addresses and location data of the users. This data is necessary for the provision of maps and for the storage of user settings. The transfer of location data, however, only takes place with the consent of the user either in the browser or on the mobile device.
Processing can take place in the United States of America.
