PRIVACY NOTICE

A. We will not sell your data and we've never had a security breach. This Privacy Policy doesn't apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our website or through our links or recommendation.

B. Why we collect your data: Your full legal name is needed to reserve a room for you at the hotels we provide, and we have to provide accounting data to the US and German government.

C. What data we collect/receive: We need your full legal name, email address, mailing address, and date of birth. Sometimes we also have your phone number.

D.  How we share your information: Our hotel partners will have your name and sometimes your date of birth. We must share this data with our accounting agencies, one in the USA and one in Germany.  After you complete a trip, we add you to our newsletter mailing list (which you can opt out of at any time) and we may send your name, city & state of residence, and email address to prospective guests. You may opt out of that at any time.

E.  Social Media: We often post pictures or videos our group activity to social media sites like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, etc. You can ask at any time to not be included in group photos that we take.  At the end of trip, we sometimes send a list of emails to TripAdvisor asking you to write a public review of our trip.  

F.  How long we keep your data: In most cases, we keep your data for a minimum of 7 years.

G. How we store your data: We use a cloud-based service (currently DropBox) to store our data which allows us to access from our local PC and mobile devices. Our US Accountant has access to one of our dropbox folders which contains the data he needs. We also use DATEV (a European cloud-based accounting system) to share accounting data with our German accountant.

H. Automatic Data Collection: We may collect certain information automatically through our Website or other methods of web analysis, such as your Internet protocol (IP) address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising identifiers, MAC address, IMEI, Advertiser ID, and other device identifiers that are automatically assigned to your computer or device when you access the Internet, browser type and language, geolocation information, hardware type, operating system, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the Services, the date and time of your visit, the amount of time you spend on each page, information about the links you click and pages you view within the Services, and other actions taken through use of the Services such as preferences.

I. Your rights: You can ask to see the information we have about you. You can also ask us to change it, correct it, delete it, restrict how we use it, or object to the way we use it by emailing us at scott@bayerntrips.com
