Privacy Statement

The protection of your personal data is of greatest importance to us. We process your data exclusively in line with the relevant statutory provisions (see in particular General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)). This Privacy Statement details the most important aspects of the data processing activities carried out by Villa Orca (hereinafter referred to as: “VILLA ORCA/“we“).

For ease of readability, no gender-specific differentiation is implied when referring to people in this Privacy Statement. Terms used automatically imply equal treatment for both male and female.

A. Information in accordance with Article 13 GDPR:

Depending on the type of collection of personal data, we are subject to different information obligations in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations. The following information is provided in the event that personal data is collected (directly) from you.

1. Processing purposes and legal grounds

We collect, process and use your personal data

  • within the scope of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR),
  • for implementing pre-contractual measures upon your request and for performing a contract which has been concluded between VILLA ORCA and you (if need be, represented by another natural or legal erson/authority/body) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), especially resulting from and in connection with business transactions (in particular identification as client/guest, handling your booking, etc.) and within the scope of accounting activities (especially invoicing),

  • for protecting our legitimate, prevailing interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), for example for sales and marketing activities, therefore in particular for making contact for marketing and advertisement purposes, e.g. by means of advertising brochures, newsletters, event invitations, Christmas greetings etc., or legitimate, prevailing interests of a third party,

  • for meeting our statutory/legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR), such as in particular according to the relevant tourism regulations, or

  • if another legal foundation in accordance with the GDPR exists; this is to be done under observance of the relevant provisions, especially data protection and civil law provisions.

Personal data are all data which contain individual details about personal or factual circumstances, for example name, address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, sex, social security number, etc. This may also include special categories of personal data, such as personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person or data concerning health.

We only collect such personal data which are required for the above-mentioned processing purposes or which have been voluntarily disclosed by you or person making the reservation.

Such personal data shall be made available to us within the scope of the contractual relationship which are required for the conclusion and performance of the contractual relationship (especially name, address, other contact details, etc.) and which we are obliged to collect by law. If you do not provide these data to us, we will, as a rule, have to reject the conclusion of the contract or the order fulfilment or we will no longer be able to continue performing and will therefore have to terminate existing contracts. Nevertheless, you are not obliged to make such data available to us which are not required statutorily and/or for contract performance.

2. Your rights

As a data subject, you are at all times entitled to the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR) to your stored personal data and to obtain information about their origin, their recipient and the corresponding data processing purpose. In this case we will provide you with a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. If you request any further copies, we are entitled to demand a reasonable compensation based on the respective administrative costs. If you request the information electronically, the information shall be made available in a conventional electronic format, unless indicated otherwise.

You moreover have the right to demand the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. In consideration of the processing purpose, you have the right to demand the integration of incomplete personal data – also by means of a complementary declaration (see Art. 16 GDPR).

You are kindly requested to inform us of any change referring to your personal data.

For certain reasons (as listed in Art. 17 para.1 GDPR), you have the right to demand that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately. In this case VILLA ORCA is generally obliged to delete the corresponding personal data immediately.

Under certain legal prerequisites (Art. 18 GDPR) you are entitled to request a restriction of the data processing. If processing has been restricted, such personal data may only be processed given your consent – except for their storage – or when this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of a substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

If data processing is based on consent or on a contract and processing is carried out with the aid of automated processes, you have the right to obtain the corresponding personal data you have provided to us in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format and to make these data available to another responsible without interference from VILLA ORCA (Art. 20 GDPR). You are moreover entitled to request that your personal data be transmitted directly by VILLA ORCA to another responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible and the rights and
freedoms of other persons are not affected.

If you have already given your consent to data processing, you are reminded that this consent can be revoked at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of the consent-based processing which has occurred before its revocation.


Right to object, Art. 21 GDPR:
On grounds resulting from your particular situation, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is done for safeguarding the legitimate, prevailing interests of VILLA ORCA or a third party (for the purposes of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR); this also applies to a profiling based on these provisions. In this case, VILLA ORCA will stop processing the corresponding personal data, unless we can prove compelling and legitimate grounds for processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If personal data are processed for direct advertising purposes (making direct contact, e.g. by means of sending letters or brochures and newsletters, phone calls, e-mails, etc.), you are entitled to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for advertising purposes at any time (also without stating any reasons); this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertisement. If you object to data processing for direct advertising purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these reasons.
On grounds resulting from your particular situation, you moreover have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historic research purposes or for statistical reasons, unless this processing is required for fulfilling a task in the general public interest.

Your request for access, erasure, rectification, objection and/or data portability, in the latter case, unless this involves a disproportionate effort, can be sent to the address and/or e-mail address of VILLA ORCA indicated in Point 11 of this Statement.

If you consider that the processing of the personal data concerning you constitutes a violation of the GDPR, you are entitled to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your Member State of residence, workplace or the location of the alleged violation.

3. Data security

Your personal data are protected by appropriate technical and organisational precautions. These precautions aim in particular at the protection against unauthorised, illegal and also accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation.

Despite our endeavours to always ensure a reasonably high standard of diligence requirements, it cannot be ruled out that the information you provide to us via the internet can be accessed and used by other persons.

Therefore, please note that we do not assume any liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to data transfer errors we are not responsible for and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. hacker attacks of e-mail accounts or telephones, interception of faxes).

4. Use of data

We do not process the data made available to us for other purposes than those covered by the contract or your consent or by another provision in line with the purposes outlined in the GDPR. The use for statistical purposes shall be excluded from this provision, insofar as the provided data are anonymised.

5. Transfer of data to third parties

Your data are only transferred to those employees/contractors who need them for the performance of contractual and/or statutory obligations.

In addition, it may be required to transfer your data to third parties within the scope of the processing purposes (see in particular Point 1 of this Statement), e.g. insurance companies, courts, public authorities, expert witnesses, translators/interpreters, social insurance agencies or other self-governing bodies, legal representatives, lawyers, notaries, and service providers/processors commissioned by us. Certain data processed by VILLA ORCA may be forwarded/transferred to an appropriate tax consulting firm/tax consultant for personnel administration purposes. Your data are transferred exclusively in line with the GDPR, especially for the fulfilment of your order (if need be as contact person or in representation of a legal person/authority/body). We furthermore inform you that situation and case related information about you are regularly accessed also from third parties (e.g. tourism agencies, Booking.com, search engines, databases, websites, social networks, etc.) within the scope of our services, whereby we make sure that the legal and especially data protection related regulations are always adhered to also in these cases.

Some of the above-mentioned recipients of your personal data may be outside your country or outside the EU/EEA and process your personal data at their location. We undertake to ensure that the European level of data protection and the European data protection standards are maintained. We therefore only transfer your personal data into such countries recognised by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of data protection or we take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection and conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC) for this purpose.

6. Notification of data leaks

We endeavour to ensure that data leaks are discovered early and, if necessary, are reported immediately to you and to the responsible supervisory authority with reference to the affected data categories.

7. Storage and erasure of data

We shall not store your data any longer than required for the performance of our contractual and/or legal obligations (especially as regards the statutory safekeeping and documentation obligations) and for purposes of defence against any liability claims (especially in consideration of the statutory and/or contractual limitation periods which can amount up to 30 years in certain cases).
