We take the protection of your personal data seriously and treat it confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations (GDPR, Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG)) and this privacy policy.

2. Data Collected When You Visit the Website

When you access this website, our hosting provider automatically records technical data in so-called server logs:

  • IP address (processed in truncated form)
  • Date and time of access
  • Requested URL
  • Browser and operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the page previously visited)

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the stable operation of the website and in IT security). Server logs are retained for 7 days, except where a longer period is needed to investigate a specific security incident, and are then deleted automatically. We do not link this data to your person.

3. Enquiry Form

When you contact us via the enquiry form, we collect and store the following data:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Desired dates (arrival and departure)
  • Number of guests and dogs
  • Message (optional)

We use this data solely to process your inquiry and to get in touch with you. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and/or Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent given by submitting the form).

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected — at the latest after the expiry of statutory retention periods (in particular under tax and VAT law, 7 years).

Technically necessary session cookies may be set by the hosting provider and are deleted at the end of your visit.
