We collect personal data when you enter it on our website (e.g. when placing an order, contacting us, creating a customer account, making reservations, using personalised services, participating in competitions and promotion campaigns) or disclose it to us by other means, for instance within the scope of a business relationship, or if you book services or contact us in any other way. We may collect specific personal data such as contact details and creditworthiness data from different sources such as, for instance, credit agencies, debtor registers and public sources (e.g. company register, land registry).

We use your personal data to enable you to get the best possible use from our website, to process your enquiries, for contract performance purposes, to enable your participation in surveys, promotion campaigns and competitions and to manage these activities, to carry out market and opinion research, to contact you for customer service purposes, to send you advertising material about our products and services, to improve our products and services and to verify the effectiveness of our campaigns. In addition, we may be required by law to process your personal data (e.g. in relation to tax law).

You are at liberty to refuse to provide your personal data. In this case you will not be able to benefit from our services that require personal data to be processed.

Legal basis and right to withdrawal

We process your personal data on the following legal bases: pre-contractual measures and contract performance pursuant to Art 6 Subparagraph 1b GDPR, justified interest pursuant to Art 6 Subparagraph 1f GDPR (e.g. web analyses, call monitoring, advertisements sent by post, creditworthiness checks), fulfilment of our legal obligations pursuant to Art 6 Subparagraph 1c GDPR and your consent pursuant to Art 6 Subparagraph 1a GDPR (e.g. customer account, newsletter, cookies).

Log files

Usage data is collected via the user’s internet browser and stored in so-called log files every time a Stiegl website is accessed. The datasets stored during this process contain the following data: date and time of access, name of the accessed page, IP address, referrer URL (the previously visited page), the data quantity transferred and the browser type and version. We evaluate these log file datasets to improve our offering and make it more user-friendly, to detect and rectify errors faster and to control server capacities. We also use the log file datasets for system security reasons, namely to defend against attacks such as so-called Distributed Denial of Service attacks that are aimed at blocking access to our websites through excessive access requests. We store log files for one month.

These records are only kept for as long as necessary and are subsequently deleted.

Transfer of data by the recipient

Your data will only be shared with other recipients to the extent that is necessary to provide the requested services (e.g.: the shipping company appointed to deliver your order, the bank or institute appointed to process your payment, the advertising agencies appointed to distribute newsletters, the sponsors of competitions, the providers of experiences, hotels and ticket information and creditworthiness agencies [KSV, CRIF] to verify your creditworthiness).

Contract processors

We appoint service providers to provide services such as web hosting, web analysis, the provision of IT services and software, payment processing, newsletter dispatch and order processing. These contract processors have access to your personal data during the course of their activities insofar as they require your personal data to provide their specific service (e.g. your address to deliver goods, your email address to send you newsletters). We have concluded data processing contracts with these providers in accordance with Art 28 GDPR, in which the providers undertake to comply with statutory data protection requirements. We only use contract processors outside of the European Union if an adequacy decision of the European Commission for the country in question or appropriate guarantees (e.g. EU-US Privacy Shield) are available or if we refer to the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

Retention period

We store your personal data only for as long as is necessary for customer care and marketing purposes or until such time as you object to the use of your data for these purposes. Data stored for customer care and marketing purposes will be deleted automatically if we have no contact with you as a customer for more than three years.

Customer accounts can be deleted at any time either by sending an email to the contact option named in the preceding or by clicking on a corresponding link in the newsletter.

With regard to contractual relationships, we will retain your data after completion of the contract until the expiry of any warranty, guarantee, limitation and statutory retention periods or for as long as the data are required as evidence within the scope of legal disputes.

For technical reasons data may be anonymised instead of deleted. In this case any personal reference will be irretrievably removed so that the deletion requirements under data protection legislation no longer apply.

Automated individual decision-making

At this moment in time, no automated decisions in the sense of Art. 22 GDPR are made that could impact you from a legal standpoint or otherwise affect you significantly.

Data Security

Stiegl Group has implemented technological and organisational security measures to protect the data stored by us from unintentional or intentional manipulation, loss or destruction and from unauthorised access. Our security measures are subject to continuous improvement in accordance with technological progress.
