    In general, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website with our content and services.

Exceptions include cases where prior consent cannot be technically obtained and where the processing of the data is permitted by law.

    2. Legal basis for data processing

    Where consent is appropriate for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of their data.

    As for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual activities.

    When it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

    If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

    If the processing of data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or that of a third party, and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the interest of the former, Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR will serve as the legal basis for the processing of data.

    The personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage has been accomplished. Additional storage may occur if this is provided for by the European or national legislator within the EU regulations, law, or other relevant regulations to which the data controller is subject. Restriction or erasure of the data also takes place when the storage period stipulated by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to prolong the storage of the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfiling the respective contract.

  21. Hosting
  22. The website is hosted on servers of a service provider commissioned by us.

    Our service provider is:

    Digital Ocean

    The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The stored information is:

    • Browser type and version
    • Used operating system
    • Referrer URL
    • Hostname of the accessing computer
    • Time and date of the server request
    • IP address of the user's device

    This data will not be merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - and server log files are therefore recorded.

    The server of the website is geographically located in the United Kingdom.

  23. Geotargeting
  24. We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (e.g. the postal code used for registration or ordering) to approach regional target groups (so-called "geotargeting").

    The regional target group approach is used, for example, to automatically display regional offers or advertisements that often are more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for our users.

    Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) are merely processed and not stored separately.

    You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localisation. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate a location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (as far as this is supported by the respective browser).

    We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

    • Advertising purposes
  25. Registration
  26. 1. Description and scope of data processing

    We offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:

    • Email address
    • Last name
    • First name
    • Pseudonym
    • Address
    • Telephone / mobile phone number
    • IP address of the user's device
    • Date and time of registration

    As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

    2. Purpose of data processing

    A registration of the user is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with the user or for the execution of pre-contractual measures.

    Details entered when enquiring about becoming a host are stored and used to follow up on the lead and, if selected, for the use of sending marketing information.

    3. Legal basis for data processing

    The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR if the user has given his consent.

    If the registration serves the fulfilment of a contract to which the user is a party or the execution of pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (1) (b) GDPR.

    4. Duration of storage

    The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

    This is the case for the data collected during the registration process for the execution of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

    5. Objection and removal

    As a user you have the possibility to cancel the registration at any time. You can request a change to the data stored about you at any time.

    Contact reservations@passthekeys.co.uk requesting deletion or stipulating the data to be amended..

    If the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, a premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not stand in the way of a deletion.

    \6. Danger notice

    Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision for the USA according to Art. 45 (3) GDPR. We would like to point out that data transfer without an adequacy decision entails certain risks, which we would like to inform you about below:
    Intelligence services in the USA use certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these intelligence services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you.
    Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. are subject to monitoring by U.S. intelligence services pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a ("FISA 702"). Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. have an obligation to provide personally identifiable information to U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, with no possible recourse available to you. Even encryption of data at the electronic communications service provider's data centers may not provide adequate protection because, with respect to imported data in its possession or custody or under its control, an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation to provide access to or surrender such data. This obligation may explicitly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read.
    The fact that this is not merely a "theoretical risk" is demonstrated by the ECJ ruling of July 16, 2020 (Case C 311/18, ,,Schrems-II").
    With Google, we have concluded guarantees in the form of standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.
