Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to our website easier, more convenient and more practical. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically stores on the hard disk of your computer when you visit our website.
We are using cookies, for example, to temporarily store the services you select and the data you enter when filling in a form on our website. As a result, you will not have to repeat the input when you access another subpage.
Cookies may also be used to identify you as a registered user after you register on the website without having to log in again when you access another subpage. Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are saved to your computer or that a message appears every time you receive a new cookie. The following webpages explain how to configure the most common browsers for the processing of cookies:
Deactivating cookies may result in preventing you from using all of the functions of our website.
For the purpose of arranging our website as needed and to continuously optimise it, we are using the web analysis service of Google Analytics. In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are established and small text files stored on your computer (“cookies”) are used. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is transferred to the servers of the providers of the services, where they are stored and processed for us. Therefore, in addition to the data listed in clause 1, we may also receive the following information in some cases:
The information is used to analyse the use of the website, to establish reports about the website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet for purposes of market research and the arrangement of this website as needed. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties have been contracted to process this data.
The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc., a company of the holding company Alphabet Inc., domiciled in the USA. Prior to the transfer of the data to the provider, the IP address is abbreviated by activating the IP anonymisation feature (“anonymizeIP”) on this website within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The anonymised IP address transferred by your browser in connection with Google Analytics will not be associated with other data from Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a server of Google in the USA and abbreviated there. Further information about the web analysis service we use is provided on the website of Google Analytics. Instructions on how you can prevent the processing of your data by the web analysis service is provided at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Upon arrival at our hotel, we may need the following information from you and the individuals traveling with you:
This information is collected to comply with the legal reporting obligations arising, in particular, from the laws governing hotel and restaurant businesses or from policy law. To the extent we are obligated according to the applicable regulations we will forward this information to the responsible police authorities.
Compliance with the legal requirements is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR.
If you obtain additional services in connection with your stay (e.g. use of the mini-bar or pay TV) such service and the time the service is obtained will be recorded by us for invoicing purposes. The processing of this data is required within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) letter b GDPR to perform the contract with us.
If you make bookings via a third-party platform we will receive a variety of personal information from the respective platform operator. Generally, this involves the data listed in clause 5 of this Privacy Policy. In addition, inquiries regarding your booking may also be forwarded to us. Such data will be processed by name in order to record your booking as requested and to make the requested services available. The legal basis for data processing for this purpose is the fulfilment of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) letter b GDPR.
Finally, we may be notified by the platform operators about disputes in connection with a booking. In some cases we may also receive data regarding the booking process, which may also include a copy of the booking confirmation as proof of the actual booking. We process such data to safeguard and enforce our claims. This is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR.
Please also note the information on data protection of the respective provider.
We store the data listed in clauses 2-5 and 8-10 in a central electronic data processing system. The data concerning you will be systematically recorded and linked to process your bookings and to perform the contractual services. To do so, we are using software from Oracle Software (Schweiz) GmbH, Täfernstrasse 4, CH-5405 Baden-Dättwil. The processing of such data in connection with the software is based on our legitimate interest in a customer-friendly and efficient customer data management within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR.
We store personal data only as long as required to use the above-mentioned tracking services and for further processing related to our legitimate interest. Contractual data will be retained longer as this is required according to legal retention obligations. Obligations requiring us to retain data arise from regulations of the reporting laws, accounting laws and tax laws. According to these regulations, business communications, closed contracts and booking documents must be retained for up to 10 years. If such data is no longer required to provide services to you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for purposes of accounting and for tax purposes.
We will disclose your personal data only if you have given your specific consent, if we are legally obligated to do so, or if necessary to enforce our rights, particularly to enforce claims from the contractual relations. In addition, we will disclose your data to third parties to the extent required in relation to the use of the website and the performance of the contract (even outside the website), specifically to process your bookings.
One service provider to whom the personal data collected via the website will be disclosed and who has or may have access to it is our web host iWay AG, Badenerstrasse 569, CH-8048 Zurich. The website is hosted on servers located in Switzerland. The data is transferred for purposes of providing and maintaining the functionalities of our website. This is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR.
Finally, if you pay by credit card through the website, we are forwarding your credit card information to the issuer of your credit card and to the credit card acquirer. If you choose to pay by credit card you will be asked to enter all necessary information. The legal basis for providing the data to third parties is the fulfilment of a contract according to Art. 6 (1) letter b GDPR. Regarding the processing of your credit card information by such third parties, we also urge you to read the general terms and conditions of business and the privacy policy of the issuer of your credit card.
Concerning the disclosure of data to third parties, please also note the information provided in clauses 7-8 and 10-11.
We are also authorised to transfer your personal data to third parties (contracted service providers) in foreign countries for purposes of data processing as described in this Privacy Policy. Such third parties are obligated to comply with data protection to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a particular country does not correspond to the level in Switzerland or in Europe, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or in the EU at any time.
You have the right to request and receive information about the personal data we have stored about you. Additionally, you have the right to have incorrect data corrected and the right to have your personal data deleted to the extent that this is not in conflict with statutory retention obligations or a legal justification permitting us to process the data.
You also have the right to reclaim the data you have provided to us (right to data portability). Upon request, we will also provide the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a commonly used file format. For the above purposes you can contact us at the following e-mail address: info@seepark.ch. At our discretion, we may ask for proof of identity before processing your requests.
We are using appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal data we have stored about you against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorised third-party access. Our security measures are continuously upgraded in accordance with technical developments.
You should always treat your access data confidentially and close the browser window when you have completed the communication with us, particularly if you share the computer with others.
We also take our in-house data protection very seriously. Our employees and the service providers we contract are bound to secrecy and to comply with the data protection regulations.
For the sake of completeness, we wish to point out to any users residing or domiciled in Switzerland that surveillance measures by US authorities exist in the USA, which generally enable the storage of all personal data of any individual whose data was transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This occurs without differentiation, limitation or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criteria restricting access by the US authorities to the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that would justify an intervention related to both the access to such data and their use. Please also note that the affected individuals in Switzerland have no legal remedies in the USA that would allow them to obtain access to the data concerning them and to bring about their correction or deletion and that there is no effective judicial relief against general access rights of the US authorities. We are explicitly informing the affected individuals of this legal and factual situation to allow them to make an appropriately informed decision regarding their agreement to the use of their data.
We are hereby informing users residing in an EU member state that the USA from the point of view of the European Union – due to the issues mentioned in this paragraph, among other things – do not have a sufficient level of data protection. To the extent we have explained in this Privacy Policy that recipients of data (such as Google) are domiciled in the USA, we will ensure, either by contractual regulations with these companies or by ensuring the certification of such companies under the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield, that your data is protected at an adequate level by our partners.
You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority for data protection at any time.
