We, the operators of this website, take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. By using this website, various pieces of personal data will be collected. Personal information refers to any data that could personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the purposes for which we collect it. Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g., through email communication) may not be fully protected against access by third parties.
1. General Information and Required Notices

Touristik Bad Wildbad GmbH
König-Karl-Straße 5
75323 Bad Wildbad
Phone: 07081 10287
Email: touristik@bad-wildbad.de
The responsible party is the natural or legal entity that decides, either alone or jointly with others, on the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses, etc.).
Revoking Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations require your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by simply sending us an informal email. Data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases; Right to Object to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data is processed based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis on which data processing is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is being processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to its processing for advertising purposes. This also applies to profiling associated with direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).
SSL or TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection can be recognized by a change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and a lock icon appearing in the browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is active, data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Blocking, Deletion
As permitted by law, you have the right to receive, at any time, information about any of your personal data that is stored, its origin, its recipient, and the purpose of processing it. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in our legal notice if you have further questions on personal data.
Opposition to Promotional Emails
We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements for sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operator reserves the right to take specific legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.
2. Data Collection on Our Website
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files.” These include:
- Browser type and version
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be combined with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for preliminary measures to a contract.
3. Analytics and Advertising
Matomo (formerly Piwik)
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Our Matomo integration does not use “cookies” but is based on “device fingerprinting,” which enables an analysis of the use of the website without processing personal data. The information generated about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.
The website operator has a legitimate interest based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize its web offering and advertising. The information about the use of this website will not be shared with third parties.
4. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address and information that confirms you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected, or if it is, it is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data solely for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties. We process any data entered on the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke consent to store your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example, via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. Data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
Data provided for newsletter registration will be used solely to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription, upon which it will be deleted. Data we store for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for a member area) remains unaffected.
MailChimp
This website uses MailChimp for sending newsletters, a service provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield, ensuring compliance with European privacy standards in the US. MailChimp organizes and analyzes newsletter distribution. If you subscribe, your data (e.g., your email address) will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.
We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email from MailChimp, a “web beacon” file connects to MailChimp servers in the US, allowing us to determine if a newsletter has been opened and which links are clicked. Additional technical information is collected, such as retrieval time, IP address, browser type, and operating system. This information is used exclusively for statistical analysis to tailor future newsletters to your interests. If you do not wish for MailChimp to analyze your newsletter usage, you can unsubscribe at any time. Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
We have a data processing agreement with MailChimp, requiring them to protect customer data and refrain from disclosing it to third parties. This agreement can be viewed at: MailChimp Data Processing Agreement.
