Personal data
Personal data is data about your person. It includes your name, your address and your email address. You do not have to disclose any personal data in order to be able to visit our website. In order to provide you with the desired service, we usually need your name and email address as well as further information.
The same applies in the event that we answer your inquiries. In addition, we only save the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.
When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data that is necessary to be able to offer you our service. We may ask you for further information, but this is of a voluntary nature. Whenever we process personal data, we do this in order to be able to offer you our service.
Contact form
If you use our contact form, you agree that we process the data you enter in the form in order to answer your request and to provide the desired service.
Your personal contact details (name, email address and possibly telephone number) as the host or guest of an accommodation will only be exchanged after a binding booking has been made. You can view, change and delete your details at any time. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (Contract performance).
Service and transfer of personal data to third parties
ZEITQUARTIER will only pass on your personal data to third parties if the transfer is necessary to provide the offers or services that you want to use at Alemantris, or if a contractor that we use to provide the offers or services requires this data. Unless expressly stated otherwise, they are only entitled to use the data to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of the offer or service.
As part of our commissioning, it may also be necessary for us to use special categories of data in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. If necessary, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a), Art. 7, Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, we obtain the express consent of the customer for this purpose.
The transfer of data to state institutions and authorities authorised to receive this data also only takes place within the framework of the statutory information obligations. Under no circumstances will we pass on personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes, unless you expressly agree to this beforehand.
Hosts and providers of accommodations who receive data from (potential) guests are not entitled to save, use or pass this on beyond the end of the contractual relationship. This is especially true if a booking is not made. In this case, after the request has been rejected, you are obliged to delete it; any statutory provisions on longer storage remain unaffected. The hosts/providers undertake to do this by accepting these provisions.
Cookies
When you visit our website, we may save information on your computer in the form of cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred from an internet server to your browser and stored on your hard drive. Only the internet protocol address is saved – no personal data. This information, which is stored in the cookies, enables you to be automatically recognised the next time you visit our website, which makes it easier for you to use it. Of course, you can also visit our website without accepting cookies. If you do not want your computer to be recognized the next time you visit, you can also reject the use of cookies by changing the settings in your browser to “reject cookies”. The respective procedure can be found in the operating instructions for your respective browser. If you reject the use of cookies, however, there may be restrictions in the use of some areas of our website.
Use of Google Analytics with anonymisation function
We use a web analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”, on our Google Analytics site. Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and thereby enable your use of the website to be analysed.
The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place and frequency of your website visit, including your IP address, is transmitted to and stored by Google in the USA.
We use Google Analytics on our website with the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp”. In this case, your IP address will already be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby anonymised.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our site, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this information on behalf of Google. According to its own information, Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with other Google data. You can prevent the setting of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation add-on for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over which data is collected by Google for the websites you visit. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the deactivation add-on for browsers from Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services that we may use. Further information on installing the browser add-on is available from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. With this service, website tags in the source code of a website can be managed via an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. That means: No cookies are used and no personal data is recorded. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags, insofar as they are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google Adwords
Conversion tracking with Google: We use the free conversion tracking function from Google AdWords on this page. Google uses cookies to measure the advertising performance for us. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. With the help of these cookies, we and Google can recognise that users clicked on certain Google ads and were redirected to this page. The information obtained in this way is only used to generate conversion statistics. Deactivating the conversion cookie: If you want to deactivate the cookie for conversion tracking, you can set your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com” are blocked.
Use of Google Maps
We use Google Maps (from Google LLC. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Maps is a service for displaying interactive maps. Google Maps shows you our location and, if you want, directions. When you call up the page in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information (such as your IP address) about your use of our website is saved by Google. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned to your user account. If you do not want this, you must log out before activating the button. In any case, Google saves your data as a usage profile and evaluates it, even if you do not have a user account. Google relies on a legitimate interest in accordance with Ar.t 6 (1) GDPR in evaluating the data for the purposes of advertising, market research and the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the use of your data by Google Maps. To exercise your right to object, you must contact Google directly. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google as part of the use of Google Maps, you can also completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used. Google LLC is based in the USA and is certified under the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with EU data protection law. You can find detailed information on data protection at Google on the Google website.
Doubleclick by Google
Doubleclick by Google is a service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Doubleclick by Google uses cookies to present you with relevant advertisements. A pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser in order to check which advertisements have been displayed in your browser and which advertisements have been viewed. The cookies do not contain any personal information. The use of the DoubleClick cookies only enables Google and its partner websites to place advertisements on the basis of previous visits to our or other websites on the internet. The information generated by the cookies is transmitted by Google to a server in the USA for evaluation and stored there. Google observes the data protection regulations of the “US Safe Harbor” agreement and is registered with the “Safe Harbor” programme of the US Department of Commerce. The transfer of the data by Google to third parties only takes place on the basis of legal regulations or in the context of order data processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google. By using our website, you declare that you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google and the manner of data processing described above as well as the stated purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies and relating to your use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link under the DoubleClick deactivation extension item. Alternatively, you can deactivate the Doubleclick cookies on the Digital Advertising Alliance website under the following link.
Google GoogleAd Services / Google AdWords Conversion
This website uses tools for “online marketing” from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This is used to recognise that a visitor has come across our website via a Google ad. Google uses cookies, which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of the use of the website. The cookies for so-called “conversion tracking” are set when you click on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you want to prevent “conversion tracking”, you can set your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com” are blocked. You can also exercise your right to opt-out via the website: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. If you would like to learn more about these methods or would like to know what options you have to prevent this information from being used by Google, click here.
Use of Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The function serves to present website visitors within the Google advertising network with interest-based advertisements. The technology enables us to place automatically generated, target group-oriented advertising after your visit to our website. The advertisements are based on the products and services that you clicked on the last time you visited our website. For this purpose, a so-called “cookie” is set, which makes it possible to recognise the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. Cookies are small text files that are saved in your browser when you visit our website. Google normally stores information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, and the date and time of your request. This information is used to assign the web browser to a specific computer. On the pages of the Google advertising network, the visitor can then be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use the Google remarketing function.
If you have consented at https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/authenticated that your browser history will be linked by Google to your Google account and that information from your Google account will be used for ad personalisation, the remarketing function also works across devices. In doing so, Google collects your Google ID and uses it for the purpose of cross-device recognition. According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not want Google’s remarketing function to be used, you can deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions here and here.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Further information on how Google uses cookies can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

In this case, information is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited our website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account.
