Visiting the website

When this website is accessed, technically necessary connection data such as the IP address, time, requested page, browser type and operating system may be processed in server logs. This is necessary for secure and stable operation.

Booking enquiries and contact

If you use the enquiry form, phone or email, we process the travel and contact details, number of guests, message and any payment preference you provide in order to check availability, answer your enquiry and prepare a possible booking. Form enquiries are stored in a protected area of our web hosting and sent by email to juergen.deutschmann@icloud.com. This preserves the enquiry if email delivery is delayed; no email program is opened automatically. The legal basis is taking steps prior to a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Details are retained only for as long as required for the enquiry, booking and statutory obligations.

Availability calendar

To display occupied dates, our web server periodically retrieves private calendar exports from Booking.com and Airbnb. Only occupied date ranges and the time of the latest check are sent to your browser. Guest names, booking numbers and other reservation details are never returned. Retrieval is server-side, so the platforms do not receive your browser IP address through this calendar view. The display is indicative and does not replace our personal booking confirmation.

Protection against misuse

We limit form submissions to protect the enquiry service. The IP address is converted into a daily changing one-way checksum for this purpose. Stored submission times are discarded after no more than one hour. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure operation under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cryptocurrency payment

BTC, ETH or USDC can be selected as a non-binding payment preference. The form does not collect wallet addresses or blockchain data. The binding total remains fixed in EUR in our offer; the coin amount, exchange-rate time and network are agreed separately in writing before payment.

Online payments via Stripe

After we personally confirm availability and the total price, we may provide an individual online payment link for the deposit or balance. Only if you use that payment method are the contact, booking, payment and transaction data needed for payment processing sent to Stripe Payments Europe, Limited and affiliated Stripe entities. Depending on the processing step, Stripe acts as our processor and/or as an independent controller. We do not receive your complete card number. The legal basis for processing the payment is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; processing required by law is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and fraud prevention may be based on legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Stripe may process data outside the EEA using recognised safeguards. For more information, including the retention periods applied by Stripe, see Stripe’s privacy policy.

External links

Map, review, booking and payment platforms are opened only after you click the relevant link. The respective provider’s privacy terms apply from that point.

Cookieless reach measurement

We count only aggregated interactions with availability, phone, email, holiday-idea and destination links. No cookies, device identifiers, user profiles, IP addresses or complete referrers are stored in these statistics. Only the event type, target, language, page path and calendar day are recorded. Daily values are deleted after no more than 400 days. Processing is based on our legitimate interest in improving the website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cookies and marketing

The public website does not use analytics or marketing cookies. Aggregated click measurement and the technically necessary form functions work without consent-based tracking. If you open an external Stripe payment link, Stripe’s technologies and privacy information apply to that payment page.

Subject to the legal requirements, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection. Complaints may be submitted to the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
