This data protection declaration explains which data we collect and for what purpose we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our data protection declaration listed under this text.
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find his contact details in the imprint of this website.
How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected by you communicating it to us. This can be data that you enter in a contact form, for example. We process the personal data provided by you in accordance with the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) to fulfill the travel contract or to implement pre-contractual measures on your request. In accordance with the legal regulations and in the interests of data economy, only data that is required for the provision of this particular service is generally collected for this purpose.

Other data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website. These are mainly technical data (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of the page call). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is error-free. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. We also process your personal data to fulfil the travel contract or to prepare an offer.
To fulfill a travel contract we process the following personal data: Name, address/other contact details (telephone number, e-mail address), date of birth, gender, and, depending on destination, nationality and passport details.

The following data processing processes take place in our company: Customer data collection system, offer preparation, invoicing, visa application, customer service, newsletter dispatch (only with your consent) and complaints.

We use the personal data stored by us otherwise for the care of customer relations, for customer service (e.g. information on the expiry of your stay abroad), for the implementation of our own advertising and marketing measures and for order processing.
What rights do you have over your data?

You have the right at any time and free of charge to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of these data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this and other questions on the subject of data protection. Furthermore, you have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority.
Analysis tools and third-party tools

When you visit our website, your surfing behaviour can be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You may object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. You will find detailed information on this in the following data protection declaration.

You can contradict this analysis. We will inform you about the possibilities of objection in this data protection declaration.
Share personal information with third parties

If we transfer personal data to a processor, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer.

A passing on of your personal data takes place exclusively within the relevant, in particular competition and data protection-juridical defaults. Insofar as this is necessary for the provision of the contractual service owed by us (accommodation, meals, leisure activities/excursions, support, possibly orientation days on site) or statutory obligations, your data will also be passed on to subcontractors or service providers (partly in third countries) for the provision of the service in our name or on our behalf (e.g. technical processing of postal and e-mail dispatch (unencrypted), payment processing, customer service).
Passing abroad

We must transmit the data to the above-mentioned partners in order to be able to organize all the contractual services owed by us with the stay abroad. For the same purpose our partners may have to forward the data independently. Our partners work independently and do not belong to Consafarity and Natucate GmbH. For this reason, we have no influence on the data processing of third parties. Third countries are countries in which the DSGVO is not a directly applicable law. This basically includes all countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area.
Storing your data

In principle, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil contractual or legal obligations for which we have collected the data. We shall then delete the data without delay, unless we need the data until the end of the statutory limitation period for purposes of proof for civil law claims or because of statutory storage obligations. Afterwards we have to store some of your data for accounting reasons. We are obliged to do this on the basis of legal documentation obligations which may arise from the Commercial Code, the Tax Code, the Banking Act, the Money Laundering Act and the Securities Trading Act. The time limits for the retention of documents specified there are between two and ten years.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail (datenschutz@natucate.de). The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of data protection law, the data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found here.
Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Using the Facebook pixel and Custom Audience

Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online service, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used within our online service.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy-Shield-Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law.
With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use Facebook pixels to display Facebook ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online services or who have certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of Facebook pixels, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not appear annoying. The Facebook pixel also enables us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by showing whether users were referred to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (known as "conversion").

Facebook processes the data in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. Accordingly, general notes on the presentation of Facebook ads in the Data Usage Policy of Facebook.

Social networks and media

Natucate GmbH operates online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers and users active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, e.g. by making it more difficult to enforce users' rights. With respect to US vendors certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are committed to complying with EU privacy standards.

Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of user behaviour and the resulting interests of users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms which are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users.
The processing of users' personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in effective information for users and communication with users pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If the users are requested by the respective providers of the platforms to give their consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO.

For a detailed representation of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection (Opt-Out), we refer to the following linked information of the providers.
Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Vimeo

Our website uses plugins of the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc. 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo plug-in, a connection is established to the Vimeo servers. The Vimeo server will be informed which of our pages you have visited.

LinkedIn marketing services

We use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

With the help of LinkedIn's marketing services, we can display ads within LinkedIn's social network and advertising partners' offerings in a more targeted manner or present ads only to users that potentially match their interests. If, for example, a user is shown ads for products in which he is interested on other online offers, this is referred to as "remarketing". Furthermore, we can track the success of our ads (so-called "conversion measurement"). However, we only know the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive information that personally identifies users.

For the aforementioned purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which LinkedIn's marketing services are active, a LinkedIn code is executed and "Insights Tags" (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web beacons") are incorporated into the websites. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). In this file it is noted which websites the user visits, which contents he is interested in and which offers the user has clicked, furthermore technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time as well as further information about the use of the online offer.

User data is processed pseudonymously within the framework of LinkedIn's marketing services. I.e. LinkedIn does not store and process the name or e-mail address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from LinkedIn's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly permitted LinkedIn to process the data without this pseudonymisation. Even if you are registered with LinkedIn, it is possible for LinkedIn to associate your interaction with our online services with your user account.

If we ask the users for their consent (e.g. in the context of a cookie agreement), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a. DSGVO. Otherwise, the personal data of the user will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. of the German Data Protection Act). DSGVO) are processed.
The information collected about users is transferred to LinkedIn and stored on Google's servers in the United States, where LinkedIn is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby assures compliance with European data protection laws.
For more information about LinkedIn's use of data, please see LinkedIn's Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy policies. You can object to the aforementioned use of your data by contacting LinkedIn.
