Some of the data is collected in order to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour or for marketing purposes.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

3 GENERAL NOTELS AND MANDATORY INFORMATION
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible office
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Golf and Travel AG
Luzernerstrasse 23
CH–6037 Root
Switzerland
Tel. +41 (0)41 799 71 99
info@golfinswitzerland.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
Responsible party in terms of data protection rights
Among other things, tools from companies based abroad, namely in the USA, are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the (US) servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. This also applies to other countries. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(E) or (F) DGPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).
If their personal data are processed for the purposes of direct marketing, they have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that 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 person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If, after the conclusion of a contract with costs, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data to us (e.g. account number in the case of direct debit authorisation), this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via the common means of payment (credit card such as Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise 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. With encrypted communication, the payment data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation to send advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam e-mails.

If you do not wish to provide us with this personal data, you may not be able to use certain offers of the website or its functionality may be impaired.
We use personal data in the context of concluding and implementing sales with our customers, for providing and developing the website and improving and ensuring the customer-friendliness of the website, for statistical evaluation of the use of the website, for testing and optimising procedures for needs analysis for the purpose of directly addressing customers, for advertising and marketing our products and services, for asserting legal claims and defending legal disputes as well as for measures for the further development of services and products and, if applicable, in connection with transactions under company law. We may also use the data to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose in an individual case, we base the processing on this consent. You can revoke your consent at any time, whereby the revocation only applies to the future, and the lawfulness of data processing that has already taken place is not affected by this. Data processing based on consent includes in particular the delivery of the newsletter or the submission of a contract offer based on the information you have provided.

What are cookies? – We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files (data packets) that are sent by the websites you visit to the browser you use (Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc.) and stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. They do not cause any damage to your end device. Cookies enable websites to function or are intended to provide information to the owners of a website or third parties who receive data from that website – for example, about the devices and preferences you use. Cookies store certain settings about your browser and data about exchanges with the website through your browser. When a cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number (cookie ID) that identifies your browser and allows the information contained in the cookie to be used. This information does not usually identify you directly, but it can provide you with a personalised web experience. Most of the cookies we use are temporary session cookies that are automatically deleted from your computer or mobile device at the end of the browser session. In addition, we also use permanent cookies. These remain stored on your computer or mobile device after the end of the browser session. Depending on the type of cookie, these permanent cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile end device for up to two years and are automatically deactivated after the programmed time has expired.
Why do we use cookies? – The cookies we use are used to enable various functions of our websites. For example, cookies help to save your language preferences across different pages of an internet session, making it easier for you to access the websites.

An overview of the Facebook social media elements can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your end device and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook «Like» button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website on your Facebook profile.
This allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account.

6 ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited («Google»), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors.

The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, in order to prevent future mailings.

8 PLUGINS AND TOOLS
YouTube with enhanced data protection
This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited («Google»), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may save various cookies on your end device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud attempts.
If necessary, further data processing processes may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers.
This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

In addition, Vimeo obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA.
If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.
Vimeo uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) to recognise website visitors. The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers.

If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
