When you visit our website for informational purposes only—that is, if you do not otherwise provide us with any information—we process only the personal data that your browser transmits to us. This includes:
We also store this data in log files.
The data listed above is technically necessary for us to display our website, ensure its stability and security, and optimize our services.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest arises from the purposes mentioned above. We delete this data no later than seven days after collection. Storage beyond this period only occurs if the personal data has been anonymized; for IP addresses, this is done, for example, by truncating them in accordance with data protection regulations.
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your system and through which we receive certain information. When you visit our website, we notify you of the use of cookies via a cookie notice that links to this Privacy Policy. There, you can also consent to the use of cookies.
The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest in using technically necessary cookies lies in our ability to provide you with a functional and user-friendly website. The legal basis for non-technically necessary cookies is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which may also apply to transfers to third countries. You can delete cookies at any time via your browser settings.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service that uses cookies (text files stored on your computer) to analyze your use of the website and to enable us to continuously improve our offerings and make them more interesting.
If IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring it to a third country. This website uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension. As a result, IP addresses are truncated during processing, thereby preventing any personal identification.
To the extent that the data collected about you is personally identifiable, such identification is immediately ruled out, and the personal data is promptly deleted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can also set a so-called Analytics opt-out cookie by clicking on “Disable Google Analytics,” which prevents Google Analytics from collecting data in the future when you use this website.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Data may be transferred to the United States; Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For more information, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This tool allows us to manage and integrate additional tracking and marketing services on our website. Your IP address is also processed in this process. Use of this tool is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The retention period depends on the integrated services and ends at the latest when you revoke your consent. Data may be transferred to the U.S.; Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For more information, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
This website uses Google Maps, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, to display interactive maps and enable convenient use of the map feature.
When you visit a page with an embedded map, at least your IP address and other technical information (e.g., browser data) are transmitted to Google. If you are logged in to Google, this information may be associated with your account.
The legal basis for the integration of Google Maps is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time via the cookie settings. Data may be transferred to the United States; Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
For more information, please see Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
We use Google reCAPTCHA, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), to protect our forms from automated submissions (e.g., spam or bots). In doing so, technical information about your user behavior (e.g., IP address, mouse movements) is transmitted to Google.
The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with § 25(1) TTDSG, granted via the cookie banner.
Data may be transferred to servers operated by Google LLC in the United States. Google is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures an adequate level of data protection in accordance with Article 45 of the GDPR.

We use the web analytics service Matomo on our website, an open-source software for the statistical analysis of user behavior. Matomo is used in a privacy-friendly manner, so that no personal data is processed. Visitors’ IP addresses are anonymized, no cookies are set, and data is not shared with third parties. The analysis serves exclusively to improve and optimize our online offering.
The legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of website usage). The anonymized data is processed internally and deleted as soon as it is no longer required for statistical purposes.
We use the open-source service Leaflet to display interactive maps. In doing so, data (e.g., IP address, device information) may be transmitted to external servers—in particular, those of OpenStreetMap—to provide the map content. This serves to present geographic information in a user-friendly manner.
The legal basis for data processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR in conjunction with § 25(1) of the TTDSG, which you can provide via the cookie banner.

Videos from YouTube, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, are embedded on our website. In doing so, cookies are set and data such as IP addresses and device information are processed. Processing takes place exclusively based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The retention period varies depending on the cookie and ends at the latest when you revoke your consent. Data may be transferred to the U.S.; Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For more information: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form or by email, the information you provide will be processed solely for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry.

To ensure proper handling of inquiries, your information may be forwarded to the appropriate staff members at the tourist information offices in the Hanseatic City of Attendorn, Meinerzhagen, Olpe, Drolshagen, or Wenden, provided this is necessary to respond to your inquiry. No further disclosure to third parties will take place.
The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (processing for the purpose of taking steps prior to entering into a contract or for the performance of a contract).
The data will be deleted as soon as your inquiry has been fully processed and there are no legal retention requirements to the contrary.
To provide and process our online bookings, we use the booking system that is technically provided by my.IRS GmbH, Dornierstraße 4, 82178 Puchheim, and operated by Holidu GmbH, Riesstraße 24, 80992 Munich. Both companies assist us in managing and processing booking requests and act as data processors in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. We have entered into appropriate data processing agreements with both service providers, which ensure an adequate level of data protection.
When you make a booking or submit an inquiry via our website, the data you enter (e.g., name, address, contact information, dates of stay, desired accommodation) is processed to fulfill the booking request.
Your data will be transmitted to Holidu GmbH and my.IRS GmbH for the technical and organizational processing of the booking. In addition, your data will be shared with the respective accommodation provider you have booked or inquired about, to the extent necessary for processing. Service providers are prohibited from using your data for other purposes or from disclosing it to third parties.
Processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of executing and managing your booking.

If you apply for a position with us via email, we will process your personal data to conduct the application process. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (pre-contractual measures).
Your data will be processed exclusively internally and shared only with those responsible for the application process, in particular the Human Resources department and the relevant hiring department. Your data will not be shared with external parties.

Our website contains links to various social media platforms. You can usually recognize these links by the corresponding icons or buttons (Facebook and Instagram).
When you click on such a link, you leave our website and are redirected directly to the respective platform. Data processing by the respective provider takes place only there. We have no influence over the nature and scope of data processing by third-party providers.
The links serve exclusively to redirect you to our social media profiles or to make it easier to share content. Data is therefore only transmitted if you actively click on the link.
The legal basis for providing these links is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which you voluntarily grant by clicking on the respective icon.
Our website contains links to external websites, in particular to lodging providers, partners, or tourism offerings. When you click on such a link, you leave our website. The respective provider is solely responsible for the processing of personal data on the linked sites. We have no influence over their content or data protection practices.
Your personal data is made available within our company only to those departments that need it to perform their respective tasks. This includes, in particular, the relevant functional departments as well as the Human Resources department during the application process.
In addition, we engage carefully selected external service providers as data processors in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR, such as IT service providers, booking service providers, or payment service providers.
In connection with bookings, orders, or the conclusion of contracts, personal data may be disclosed to contractual partners, retailers, or shipping service providers to the extent necessary to fulfill the contract.
We have data processing agreements in place with all data processors that ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Your data will only be disclosed to other recipients if there is a legal obligation to do so or if you have expressly consented.
Personal data will only be transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA if there is a legal basis for doing so or if you have given your consent.
To the extent that data is transferred to the United States, this is done, in the case of certified providers, on the basis of the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR).
For non-certified providers, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR) are considered appropriate safeguards.
We store your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes for which we collected it, or for as long as we are legally required to retain it.
As a data subject, you have the following rights under applicable data protection laws, in particular the GDPR:
