If we collect personal data (contact form, booking forms, newsletter registrations, forums, blog entries, etc.) we will inform in each case about the purpose, scope, legality, and possible disclosure and use this only for these purposes. The entry of this data by you is voluntary.
Data transmission on the Internet does not offer complete protection of data against access by third parties. Please keep this in mind in your behavior.
