Categories of Recipients to whom Data may be communicated
Hotels, guesthouses and other accommodation facilities may collect personal data of their guests and store it in automated procedures, as far as this is necessary within the scope of the accommodation contract. As a rule, this also includes billing data for food and beverages, telephone calls made from the room and/or other hotel-specific services. Hotels and accommodation establishments are obliged by registration law to request information on the place of residence, date of birth and nationality of their guests and their family members.

Furthermore, Data can be communicated to Subsequent Recipients:

  • Public authorities that receive data due to legal requirements (e.g. social insurance institutions)
  • Internal departments that are involved in the execution and fulfilment of the respective business processes (e.g. personnel administration/controlling, accounting, marketing, sales, IT organization and the central reservation service (Customer Service Center))
  • External contractors (service providers) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR
  • Other external bodies (e.g. credit institutions, broker agencies in the context of intermediary activity, companies belonging to a group of companies as far as affected parties have given their written consent or a transfer is permissible for predominantly justified reasons), as well as partner companies in the context of the order activity issued by the customer.

Standard Periods for the Deletion of Data
The legislator has enacted a variety of storage obligations and periods. After these periods have expired, the corresponding data and data records are routinely deleted if they are no longer required for contract fulfilment (guest, rental and service contracts). Thus, the commercial or financial data of a completed fiscal year is deleted after a further ten years in accordance with legal regulations, unless longer retention periods are prescribed or necessary for legitimate reasons. In the area of personnel administration and personnel controlling, shorter deletion periods are used in special areas. This applies in particular to rejected applications or warnings. Insofar as data is not affected by this, it will be deleted unsolicited if the purposes mentioned under point 5 no longer apply.
Registration forms are stored in accordance with the valid registration law in the individual hotel and accommodation establishments in accordance with the legally prescribed minimum duration and are then destroyed in accordance with data protection regulations under special precautionary measures. 

Planned Transfer of Data to Third Countries
Data transfers to third countries only occur within the framework of contract fulfilment, necessary communication and other exceptions expressly provided for in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). A data transfer to other third countries, especially those whose data protection level is assessed as low or to countries outside the EU is currently not taking place; such a transfer is also not planned.

The Gasometer Pforzheim uses technical and organizational security measures according to § 64 BDSG to protect the data managed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons. The security measures used are continuously improved in line with technological developments. This means that the Gasometer Pforzheim stores its data protection information exclusively on secure systems in Germany.

Information on Data Protection according to EU-GDPR
Our company regularly checks your creditworthiness when concluding new contracts and, in certain cases where there is a justified interest, also for existing customers. For this purpose, we cooperate with Creditreform Boniversum GmbH, Hellersbergstraße 11, 41460 Neuss, from which we receive the necessary data. On behalf of Creditreform Boniversum, we will provide you with the following information in advance in accordance with Art. 14 EU-GDPR:
Creditreform Boniversum GmbH is a consumer information agency. It operates a database in which creditworthiness information on private individuals is stored. On this basis, Creditreform Boniversum provides credit information to its customers. Customers include credit institutions, leasing companies, insurance companies, telecommunications companies, receivables management companies, mail order, wholesale and retail companies as well as other companies that supply goods or services. Within the framework of the statutory provisions, part of the data available in the information database is also used to supply other company databases, including for address trading purposes.
In the Creditreform Boniversum database, information is stored in particular on the name, address, date of birth, e-mail address if applicable, payment behavior and shareholdings of persons. The purpose of processing the stored data is to provide information on the creditworthiness of the person inquired about. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1f EU-GDPR. Information about this data may be given thereafter only if a customer credibly demonstrates a legitimate interest in the knowledge of this information. If data is transferred to countries outside the EU, this is done on the basis of the so-called "standard contract clauses", which you can see and have sent to you from the following link:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32001D0497&from=DE
The data is stored as long as its knowledge is necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose of storage. As a rule, knowledge is required for an initial storage period of three years. After expiry, it is checked whether storage is still necessary, otherwise the data will be deleted to the day. If a case is settled, the data is deleted to the day three years after settlement. According to § 882e ZPO, entries in the debtor register are deleted to the day after three years have elapsed since the day of the registration order. Legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1f EU-GDPR can be: credit decision, business initiation, shareholding, claim, credit assessment, insurance contract, enforcement information.
Creditreform Boniversum GmbH grants you the right to obtain information about the personal data stored about you. If the data stored about you is incorrect, you have a right to correction or deletion.

By page 2 of 2 | Status April 2018 | © 2018 Boniversum

This data flows into the score value calculation with different weightings. Creditreform Boniversum customers use the scores as a tool for making their own credit decisions.
