In this Privacy Policy, we use the term “data” as a synonym for “personal data”.

In this Privacy Policy, we describe how we process your data when you use valbellaresort.ch, other websites operated by us, or our apps (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Website”), when you purchase our services or products, when you otherwise interact with us in connection with a contract, communicate with us, or have any other dealings with us.

1. Data processing in connection with the use of our technology

1.1. General

All personal data recorded as part of the registration or created during the use of the technology and protected by the Federal Data Protection Act ("DSG") or Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation; "GDPR") will be protected and used exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling the contract, unless, in particular in accordance with this privacy policy, you have given your express consent to further use or the applicable law allows it.

We can collect master data from you (company name, name, address, email, etc.), personal data about the services you have purchased, your payment transaction data, your online preferences, and your customer feedback. We use this personal data to communicate with you, conclude and conduct business with you, operate the technology, for billing, for market research, and for marketing, e.g. to analyse our customer base or to contact you by mail, telephone, email, or text messages.

We may collect personal data about your creditworthiness in order to protect ourselves against payment defaults. Your browsing and usage data will then be collected. This includes, for example, the IP address, the information which device, browser and browser version you visited the technology with and when, which operating system you are using, from which website or app you have accessed our technology via a link, and which elements of the technology you use and how. This personal data is saved together with the IP address of your access device information. They are used to correctly display and optimise our technology, protect it against attacks or other legal violations, and personalise the technology for you.

1.2. Use of technology 

When you visit our website, our servers temporarily save each access in a log file. The following user and device data, as well as personal data, are recorded without any action on your part and stored by our host (ISP - Internet Service Provider):

This data is collected and processed for the purpose of facilitating the use of our website (establishing a connection), ensuring long term system security and stability, and allowing for our website to be optimised, as well as for internal statistical purposes. This is our legitimate interest in the data processing.

The IP address is also evaluated together with the other data in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorised or improper website uses for clarification and defence and, if necessary, used in criminal proceedings for identification and civil and criminal proceedings against the users concerned. This is our legitimate interest in the data processing.

1.3. Use of our contact forms 

You have the option of using a contact form to get in touch with us. For this purpose, we require the following data:

We will mark the mandatory entries (*). If this information is not made available, it may hinder the provision of our services. The provision of personal data in other fields is voluntary. The provision of other information is optional and has no influence on the use of our technology.
We only use this data to respond to your contact request in the best possible and personalised way. Therefore, processing this data is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures or is in our legitimate interest. You can inform us at any time that you no longer wish this voluntarily disclosed personal data to be processed (see Section 6 "Your rights" below).
 

1.4. Registration for our newsletter

a. Sign up

You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website. Registration is required for this. The following data must be submitted as part of the registration:

The email address is essential for sending the newsletter. You can voluntarily submit salutation and name so we can address you personally. By registering, you give your consent to process the specified data for the regular dispatch of the newsletter to the address you indicated and for the statistical analysis of user behaviour and the optimisation of the newsletter. We are entitled to commission third parties with the technical processing of advertising measures and to disclose your data for this purpose. At the end of each newsletter, there is a link that you can use to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. After unsubscribing, your personal data will be deleted.

b. Analysis

We use third-party email marketing services to send our newsletter. Our newsletter can therefore contain so-called web beacons (tracking pixel) or similar technical means. A web beacon is a 1x1 pixel, an invisible graphic associated with the user ID of the respective newsletter subscriber. This pixel is only activated when you display the newsletter images. The use of appropriate services allows for the analysis of whether our newsletter emails have been opened. In addition, it can also be used to record and evaluate the click behaviour of newsletter recipients. We use this data for statistical purposes and to optimise the newsletter in terms of content and structure. This allows us to better align the information and offers in our newsletter with the interests of our readers. The tracking pixel is deleted when you delete the newsletter. To prevent tracking pixels in our newsletter, please set your email program in such a way that no HTML is displayed in messages.

1.5. Booking through technology, by correspondence, or by phone

If you make bookings either via our technology, by correspondence (email or mail), or by phone call, we need the following data to process the contract:

We will only use this data and other information voluntarily provided by you (e.g. expected arrival time, license plate, preferences, comments) to process the contract unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy or you have not given your separate consent. We will process the data by name to record your booking as requested, provide the services booked, contact you should questions or problems arise, and ensure correct payment. The legal basis for data processing for this purpose is the performance of a contract.

1.6. Use of your data for advertising purposes

a. Creation of pseudonymised usage profiles

In order to be able to provide you with personalised services and information on our technology (on-site targeting), we use and analyse the data that we collect about you when you visit the website. So-called cookies may also be used for the corresponding processing (see section 1.7 below). The usage data is only merged with pseudonymised, but never with non-pseudonymised personal data. To facilitate personalised marketing in social networks, we use so-called remarketing pixels on the technology. If you have an account with a social network and are logged in there at the time of the page visit, this pixel links the page visit to your account. You can make further settings for advertising in the respective social networks in your user profile.

b. Retargeting

We use retargeting technologies on the technology. Your user behaviour is analysed on our technologies in order to be able to offer you advertising tailored to your individual needs on partner websites. Your user behaviour is recorded in a pseudonymised manner. Most retargeting technologies work with cookies (see section 1.7 "Cookies" below). You can prevent retargeting at any time by rejecting or deactivating the relevant cookies in the menu bar of your web browser. You can also request an opt-out for the other advertising and retargeting tools mentioned on the Digital Advertising Alliance website at optout.aboutads.info.

c. Remarketing and retargeting technologies used

The following remarketing pixels are used on our technology:

Meta Pixel
We use the Meta remarketing pixel on our technology, a service provided by Meta Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA ("Meta"). If you have a Meta account and are logged in when you visit the page, this pixel links the visit to your account. The data generated this way is transmitted to Meta Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, and processed there. This way, the behaviour of the site visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Meta ad. This allows the effectiveness of Meta advertisements to be analysed for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the user's identity. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Meta data usage guidelines. This enables Meta to place advertisements on Meta pages as well as outside of Meta.

As the website operator, we cannot influence this use of the data. You will find further information on protecting your privacy in Metas privacy policy: www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can also deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the advertising settings area. To do this, you have to be logged in to Meta.

X Pixel
We use Twitter's remarketing pixel on our technology, a service provided by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter"). If you have a Twitter account and are logged in when you visit the page, this pixel links the visit to the page with your account. You can change your privacy settings on Twitter in the account settings at twitter.com/account/settings. Further information can be found in Twitter's privacy policy at twitter.com/privacy.

Google AdWords und Google Doubleclick
We use Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick, two services of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (register number: 368047) ("Google"), to place advertisements based on the use of previously visited websites.

For this purpose, Google uses the so-called DoubleClick cookie, which enables your browser to be recognised when you visit other websites. The information generated by the cookie about your visit to this technology (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States (for additional information on the transfer of personal data to the USA, see section 4.3 "Transmission of personal data abroad").

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the technology with regard to the advertisements to be placed, to compile reports on website activity and advertisements for the website operator 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 data on behalf of Google. According to Google, however, your IP address will in no case be associated with other Google data.

Further information on Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick is available at: marketingplatform.google.com/about/enterprise/, as well as on data protection at Google in general: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Google Tag Manager
We also use Google Tag Manager to manage the usage-based advertising services. The Tag Manager tool is a cookieless domain and does not collect any personal data. Rather, the tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. If you have deactivated it at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. Further information on data protection at Google, in general, can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

TYPO3
Our website is operated using the content management system TYPO3 of the TYPO3 Association. This system is used for the technical provision and management of the content on our website.

When you access our website, certain data is processed for technical reasons, in particular your IP address, the date and time of the request, browser type, and the pages accessed. This processing is necessary to ensure the functionality, stability, and security of our website.

The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable provision of our website. Further information about TYPO3 can be found at: https://typo3.org

Brevo also allows us to analyse the performance of our newsletters (e.g. open and click rates) in order to improve our content and offers.

The processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter or by contacting us. Further information on data protection at Brevo can be found at: https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/

We use the service Picflow provided by Picflow AG, Hardturmstrasse 161, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland, to provide and enable the download of image material. Through Picflow, we provide media files such as press images in online galleries. In this context, technical data as well as information about accesses and downloads may be processed to ensure the functionality, security, and proper use of the gallery.

The third-party entrepreneur does not receive any personal data from us, but can track your use of our website, combine this information with data from other websites that you have visited and are also tracked by the third-party entrepreneur, and use this information for their own purposes (e.g. advertising management). Third-party entrepreneurs can also use permanent cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies for this purpose.

Looker Studio enables us to combine and display data from various sources—particularly analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics or Google Ads—in reports and dashboards.

If you have set up an account with us, we will keep the master data provided without restriction. However, you can request the deletion of your account at any time (see below, item 6 "Your rights").

This deletion can take place immediately or as part of periodic deletions.

Contract data, which can also include personal data, will be stored by us until the statutory retention period of 10 years has expired. Obligations to retain data result from accounting regulations and tax regulations, as well as the obligation to retain electronic communication.

6. Your rights

6.1. Right to information, correction, deletion, and restriction of processing; Right to data portability, objection, and complaint

Upon request, we will provide each person concerned with information on whether and, if so, which personal data about them is being processed (right to confirmation, right to information). At your request:

To make a request to exercise a right described in this section, for example, if you no longer receive any email newsletters from us or want to delete your account, use the corresponding function on our website or contact our data protection officer or an employee according to the information at the beginning of this privacy policy.

If we cannot comply with a request, we will inform you of the reasons. For example, we may refuse deletion in a legally permissible manner if your personal data is still required for the original purposes (e.g. if you continue to receive a service from us), if the processing is legally mandatory (for example, on statutory accounting regulations), or if we have an overriding interest of our own (e.g. in the event of a legal dispute against the person concerned). If we assert an overriding interest in the processing of personal data against you, you still have the right to object to the processing, provided that your particular situation compared to other data subjects results in a different balance of interests (right to object). This could be the case, for example, if you are a person of public interest or if the processing creates the risk that you will be harmed by third parties. If you are not satisfied with our response to your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, for example, in your country of residence or at the headquarters of VALBELLA RESORT AG (right to complain).
