a. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

To allow us to design our website to meet your needs and to continually optimize our website, we use the web analysis service of Google Analytics. Consequently, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used (see above). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transferred to a server of the provider of these services, and saved and processed there. In addition to the data listed under point 1, we also may receive the following information:
- The navigation path which the website visitor took,
- The time spent on the website or sub-page,
- The sub-page on which the website was exited,
- The country, region or city in which access was made,
- The end user device (type, version, color depth, resolution, width and
height of the browser window) and
- Whether it was a repeat or new visitor.
The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports about web- site activities and to provide other services associated with the use of the website and the internet, for the purpose of market research and designing this website to meet your needs. This information is also transferred to third parties if necessary, if this is specified by law or if third parties processing this data on our behalf.
We also use Google Tag Manager to manage usage-based advertising services. The Tool Tag Manager itself if a cookie-free domain and does not compile any personal data. In- stead, the tool removes other tags which may compile your data. If you perform deactivation at domain or cookie level, this applies to all tracking tags which are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Inc., a company of the holding company Alphabet Inc, with its registered office in the USA. Before being transferred to the service provider, the IP address is abbreviated by activating the IP anonymizing function (“anonymize IP”) on this website within a Member State of the European Union or in another EEC state. The anonymised IP address transferred by your browser due to Google Analytics is not compiled with other data from Google. Only in exceptions is the full IP address transferred to a server of Google in the USA and abbreviated there. In these cases, we ensure, by undertaking contractual guarantees, that Google Inc. maintains a sufficient level of data protection. According to Google Inc. the IP address is not linked to other data associated with the user.
To manage the usage-based advertising service, we use Google Tag Manager, which is also a service of Google. The Tool Tag Manager itself if a cookie-free domain and does not compile any personal data. Instead, the tool removes other tags which may compile your data. If you perform deactivation at domain or cookie level, this applies to all tracking tags which are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Further information about the web analysis service can be found on the website of Google Analytics.

B. Data processing associated with your visit

14. Data processing to meet legal reporting obligations

When arriving at our hotel, we may require the following details from you and the people travelling with you:
- First name and surname
- Address and Canton
- Nationality
- Official ID card and number
- Date of arrival and departure
We collect these details in order to meet our legal reporting obligations, based in particular on the hospitality and police laws. If we are obliged to do so by the applicable regulations, we forward this information to the responsible police authorities.
Our justified interest lies in the fulfilment of legal provisions as per Art. 6, paragraph 1 f, GDPR.

15. Data processing to execute booked services in general

For your stay we may process and collect the following details from you and the other people travelling with you:
- First name and surname
- Address and Canton
- Nationality
- Official ID card and number
- Date of arrival and departure
- Room number
- Preferences and habits
We collect these details not only to fulfil our contractual and post-contractual obligations
to you, but also to be able to offer you the best-possible service.
The legal basis for this data processing thereby lies in the processing of the contract, as per Art. 6, paragraph 1b GDPR.

16. Data processing to perform related spa services

If you book spa services during your stay at our hotel, the subject of the service (e.g. single admission) and the time of the service are compiled and processed by us for invoicing purposes and to perform the booked service. Normally we require the following details for this:
- First name and surname
- Address
- E-mail address
- Telephone number
- Room number (if available)
The legal basis for this data processing thereby lies in the processing of the contract, as
per Art. 6, paragraph 1b GDPR.

17. Data processing to perform other services

If you use extra services during your stay (e.g. the mini bar) the subject of the service and the time of the service are recorded by us for invoicing purposes. This processing of this data is therefore required for us to execute the contract in accordance with Art. 6, para- graph 1 b, GDPR.

C. Saving and exchange of data with third parties

18. Booking platforms

If you make bookings via a third-party platform, we receive various personal information from the respective operator of the platform. This usually concerns the data listed in point 5 of this privacy policy. Any requests associated with your booking are also forwarded to us. We process this data to handle the booking according to your request and to provide the booked services. The legal basis for the processing of your data for this purpose lies in the fulfilment of a contract as per Art. 6, paragraph 1 b, GDPR.
Eventually, we may be notified by the platform operators about disputes associated with a booking. In this case we may also receive data about the booking process, whereby a copy of the booking confirmation may be used as proof that the booking has actually been completed. We process this data to protect and assert our claims. This represents our justified interest in accordance with Art. 6, paragraph 1 f, GDPR.
Please also note the data privacy guidelines of the respective provider.

19. Central saving and linking of data

We save the data in a central electronic data processing system. The data concerning you is then systematically recorded and linked to process your booking and execute the contractual services. Furthermore, the data in the system is used for advertising purposes, in particular to be able to offer you personalized services and products.
The legal basis for the processing of data for customer management lies in the processing of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6, paragraph 1 b, GDPR. With regards to the processing of data for advertising activities, the legal basis lies, on the one hand, in the processing of the contract (the existing customer relationship justified the processing of data for advertising activities) and, on the other hand, in the consent issued by you in accordance with Art. 6, paragraph 1 a, GDPR, when registering for the newsletter (see point 3).

20. Duration of storage

The maximum storage time for personal data is as long as a business relationship is maintained, in order to use the afore-mentioned tracking services as well as the further processing within the scope of our justified interest. Contract data is stored for us for a longer period of time, if this is specified by legal storage obligations. Storage obligations which oblige us to store data, arise from the provisions concerning the right of registration, in- voicing and the tax law. According to these provisions, business communication, concluded contracts and accounting documents have to be stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer require this data to provide the services for you, the data is blocked. This means that the data can only be used for invoicing and tax purposes.

21. Forwarding of data to third parties

We only forward your personal data if you have explicitly agreed to it, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if this is necessary to assert our rights, in particular to assert claims from the contractual relationship. Furthermore, we forward your data to third parties if this is necessary within the scope of the use of the website and the processing of the contract (also outside of the website), namely the processing of your bookings.
Various third-party service providers have been mentioned explicitly in this privacy policy and the purpose of the transfer of data has been mentioned. Another service provider to whom personal data is forwarded or who has or could have access, is our web hosting company Positioner (website data). The website is hosted on servers in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. The transfer of data is done with the purpose of providing and maintaining the functions of our website. This represents our justified interest in accordance with Art. 6, paragraph 1 f, GDPR.
Finally, for payments by credit card made on our website, we forward your credit card information to your credit card issuer and the credit card acquirer. If you decide to make a payment by credit card, you will be requested to enter all the mandatory information. The legal basis for the transfer of data lies in the fulfilment of a contract in accordance with Art. 6, paragraph 1 b, GDPR. With regards to the processing of your credit card information by these third parties, we request that you also read the general terms and conditions and the data privacy statement of your credit card issuer.

22. Transfer of personal data abroad

We are permitted to also transfer your personal data to third-party companies (commissioned service providers) for the purpose of data processing described in this privacy policy. They are obliged to maintain the same level of data protection as we have. If the level of data protection in a particular country does not correspond to the Swiss or European level, we will ensure by means of a contract, that the protection of your personal data meets the level of protection in Switzerland or the EU at all times.

D. Further information

23. Right to information, correction, deletion and restriction of processing; right to data portability

You have the right to receive information about the personal data we have saved about you, on request. In addition, you have the right to correct any incorrect data and the right to delete your personal data, provided no legal storage obligation or legal provision which allows us to process the data, contradicts this.
You also have the right to request back the data that you have given us (right to data port- ability). On request, we will also forward the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a standard file format.
You can reach us for these purposes via the e-mail address stay@crystalhotel.ch. For the processing of your requests, we can require proof of identity, at our discretion.

24. Data security

We take suitable technical and organizational security measures, to protect your personal data we have saved from manipulation, full or partial loss and unauthorized third-party access. Our safety measures are continually adapted in line with the development of technology.
You should always treat your access data as confidential and close the browser window once you have finished communication with us, in particular if you share the computer with other people.
We also take the protection of data in our own company very seriously. Our employees and the service providers commissioned by us have been obliged to confidentiality and to comply with the legal provisions concerning data protection.

25. Note on the transfer of data to the USA

For the sake of completeness, for users with their place of residence or registered office in Switzerland, we would like to point out that monitoring measures of US authorities exist, which generally allow the saving of personal data of every person whose data is sent from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without differentiation, restriction or exceptions for the intended goal, and without an objective criterion, which allows the US authorities to access the data and the later usage to be restricted to a particular, strictly limited purpose, which may justify both the access to this data as well as interventions associated with its usage. In addition, we would also like to point out that, in the USA there is no legal aid for data subjects from Switzerland, which would allow you to receive access to the affected data and to correct or delete the data, or no effective legal protection exists against the general rights of access of the US authorities. We hereby explicitly refer the affected party to this legal and factual situation, so that an informed decision can be made about the consent to use the data.
We would like to point out to users with their place of residence in an EU Member State, that in the view of the European Union, the USA does not have a sufficient data protection level – in part due to the issues mentioned in this section. If we have mentioned in this privacy policy that recipients of data (such as Google) have their registered office in the USA, we will either ensure by contractual regulations with these companies, or by ensuring the certification of these companies under the EU-US or Swiss-US Privacy Shield, that your data is protected to a suitable level by our partners.

26. Right of complaint to data protection authorities

You have the right to complain at any time to the data protection authorities
