Kühtai Mountain Railways Privacy Policy

We handle your data responsibly

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws as well as this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy informs users of the website www.kuehtai.info (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”) about the nature, scope, and purposes of the collection and use of personal data by Bergbahnen Kühtai (hereinafter referred to as the “Operator”). Personal data (e.g., name, email address, phone number) are processed and transmitted by the Operator only in a lawful manner—in particular to fulfill contractual or legal obligations, based on the Operator’s overriding legitimate interests, or based on the user’s consent. The lawfulness of data processing is based on the Austrian Data Protection Act and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). The legal basis is specified in each specific instance for the processing activities described below.

Website Design

The operator continuously optimizes the website’s presentation and the services offered to users. To better understand how the pages are used, the operator temporarily stores the following data each time this website is accessed: Name of the accessed webpage, requested file, date/time, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type/version/language, operating system, previously visited page, duration of visit, country of origin, and IP address. By visiting this website, the user grants their explicit consent to the storage of the end device’s IP address in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The user’s IP address is deleted 12 months after the user stops using the website.

What Happens to Your Data When You Submit an Inquiry

When contacting the operator (for example, via the contact form or email), the following user information may be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case follow-up questions arise: title, first and last name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and data related to the inquiry (e.g., length of stay, number of people). The personal data collected in this manner will be deleted by the operator within 12 months after the inquiry has been processed. The personal data provided by the user will be processed and used by the operator only to the extent necessary for handling the inquiry and/or providing the requested service.
In the course of this data processing, the operator may forward the collected personal data to the following third parties:
Landlords in Kühtai and the Sellrain Valley, as well as the Innsbruck and Its Vacation Villages Tourism Association.
Kühtai Tourist Information, Kühtai 42, 6183 Kühtai, www.innsbruck.info
GASTROdat Ges.m.b.H., Friedensstraße 8, 5082 Grödig, www.gastrodat.com
G.A. Service GmbH, Siezenheimer Straße 39, 5020 Salzburg, www.ga-service.at

Depending on the inquiry or booking, only those personal data necessary to fulfill the requested service will be forwarded to member businesses (rental property owners) or to the Innsbruck and Its Vacation Villages Tourism Association. The specific members may vary on a case-by-case basis. Data processing is necessary pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. We remain responsible for the protection of your data even when engaging a data processor. We only use data processors outside the European Union if an adequacy decision by the European Commission exists for the third country in question or if appropriate safeguards or binding internal data protection policies are in place with the data processor.

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

  • Browser type/browser version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Hostname of the accessing computer

  • Time of the server request

This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data at a later date if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

Social media plugins for more information

The operator uses so-called “embedded” social media plugins (interfaces to social networks) on the website. When you visit the website, the system automatically establishes a connection with the respective social network due to the integration of the plugins and transmits data (IP address, website visit, etc.). This data transmission occurs without the operator’s intervention and is beyond the operator’s control. The user can prevent this data transfer by logging out of the respective social networks before visiting the website. Only when the user is “logged in” can the social network associate specific data with the user’s activity profile through automatic data transfer. The automatically transmitted data is used exclusively by the operators of the social networks and not by the operator of this website. Further information on this can be found directly on the website of the respective social network. Privacy settings can also be adjusted there.

The social networks integrated into the website are:

YouTube Plugins

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, a service operated by Google. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
