Categories of recipients to whom data may be disclosed

Hotels, guesthouses and other lodging establishments may collect personal data of their guests and store it in automated procedures, insofar as this is necessary within the framework of the lodging contract. This usually includes billing data on food and beverages, telephone calls made from the room and/or other hotel-specific services. Hotels and lodging establishments are required by registration laws to request information about the place of residence, date of birth and nationality of their guests and their family members.

Furthermore, data can be communicated to the following recipients: 

Public bodies that receive data on the basis of statutory regulations (e.g. social insurance institutions).

For example, commercial or financial data from a completed fiscal year is deleted in accordance with legal requirements after a further ten years, unless longer retention periods are prescribed or required for legitimate reasons. In the area of personnel administration and personnel management, shorter deletion periods are used in specific areas. This applies in particular to rejected applications or warnings. If data is not affected by this, it is deleted without being requested if the purposes mentioned under point 5 cease to apply.
