Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent, your data will be erased unless statutory retention obligations (e.g., commercial or tax law) require otherwise.
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data, as well as the right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability (Art. 15–20 GDPR). Where data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).
This website uses TLS encryption (HTTPS) and strict HTTP security headers (HSTS, Content-Security-Policy) to protect confidential transmissions such as inquiries submitted via the contact form.
The hosting provider IONOS automatically collects information in server log files transmitted by your browser: browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, host name of the accessing device, and time of the server request. IP addresses are anonymized immediately upon collection by IONOS for purely statistical, cookie-free evaluation (IONOS WebAnalytics), ensuring no personal reference can be established. Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
If you send us an inquiry via the contact form or by email, the details you provide (name, email address, optional phone number, travel dates, and message) are processed solely to handle your request and any follow-up questions. We never share this data without your consent.
Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to entering into or fulfilling a contract, and otherwise on our legitimate interest in effectively responding to inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
To prevent automated spam without third-party CAPTCHA services, our server script (`contact.php`) verifies a hidden honeypot field, a timestamp, and a daily rotating, irreversible SHA-256 hash for rate limiting. Plain-text IP addresses are never stored.
All fonts used on this website are hosted locally on our web server or rendered via system fonts. No connection to Google servers (Google Fonts) takes place when loading this site.
To monitor search engine indexing, we use Google Search Console via a static HTML verification meta tag. Visiting our website does not transmit any personal data or cookies from your browser to Google.
