1. General / introduction
   We, Marina Gastro AG (hereafter also referred to as “Marina Lachen”), want to ensure you have the best possible experience. We use the personal data which you provide to improve our services and your experience. This data protection declaration will give you insight into how we use the personal data you supply, and our promise to protect them. It is also about the rights and opportunities you have to check your personal data and protect your privacy. In addition, it outlines what personal data we collect from you when you visit our websites (www.marinalachen.ch / www.heimetli-lachen.ch / www.privatsphären.ch), how we use your personal data, and the third parties to which we may disclose them.
2. Privacy / collection and processing of personal data
   In principle, you can visit our websites without telling us who you are. Our web servers automatically store information of a general nature. This includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain names of the Internet service providers, the website from which you are visiting us, as well as the date and duration of the visit. This only includes information that is not identifiable to you personally. We analyse this data for statistical purposes and in anonymous form only. For example, we do not link any specific visit to our website with a particular IP address. There are also additional applications on our site for which you must register. (We collect your personal information if you wish to book a room. We then use this information for a few reasons: to contact you if require more information from you or to provide you with further information; also, to check whether our records are correct).
3. The use of cookies
   Marina Gastro AG uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files or so-called “web beacons”, i.e. graphic files that are saved on the user’s display device. This is technology that can be used to collect certain user-specific settings and technical information that can identify the user. This information shows when and how users utilise the website and enables continuous improvement. The use of cookies offers users the advantage that when completing forms on the website they do not have to keep entering their personal details. The use of cookies is common and is standard practice on many websites. Cookies are saved on the user’s display device and not on the website.
   We only use cookies to read information on the memory of the user’s display device, which has been saved there by a cookie from this website. Insofar as the user utilises the website without making settings in their browser accordingly, they agree to the use of cookies as set out in this data protection declaration. If the user does not wish cookies to be saved on their display device, would like to delete a saved cookie, or wants to be notified before it is saved, they can set their browser or display device accordingly. It is possible to find out how to do this using via “help” on the browser or display device. We would point out that in this event it may not be possible to fully utilise all features.

The commercial or financial data from a completed financial year will then be deleted after another ten years according to the legal provisions, provided longer retention periods are not specified or are not required for justified reasons. In the field of staff administration and management, shorter deletion periods are used in certain areas. This applies in particular to rejected applications or written warnings. Insofar as data for this are not affected, they will be deleted without notification upon the cessation of the purposes mentioned at point 11.
    Registration forms are retained according to the valid registration law in accordance with the prescribed minimum period. They are then sent for destruction according to data protection law under specific precautions.
