However, you can configure your browser to prevent cookies from being stored on your computer or to display a message whenever you receive a new cookie. You will find explanations on how to configure cookie processing in the most common browsers on the following pages:

10. Tracking tools

10.1 Google Analytics

On our website, we use Google Analytics 4 with Google Signals, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses methods that enable the use of the website to be analysed, such as cookies (see section 9). The information generated by the cookie relating to use of our website, such as

  • the navigation path that a visitor follows on the website

  • time spent on the website or a subpage

  • last subpage visited before leaving the website

  • the country, region or city from where the website was accessed

  • terminal (type, version, colour depth, resolution, width and height of the browser window)

  • recurring or new visitor

  • browser type/version

  • operating system used

  • referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited website),

  • host name of the computer accessing the website (IP address) and

  • time of the server request

is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. The IP address is truncated by the default and automatic activation of IP anonymisation (“anonymizeIP”) on this website before transmission within the member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or Switzerland. The masked IP address sent by your browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with any other Google data according to Google. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA before truncation in exceptional circumstances. In such cases, we have contractual guarantees in place to ensure that Google maintains an adequate level of data privacy.

This information is used to evaluate how this website is used, to compile reports on activities performed on the website and to provide further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet for the purpose of conducting market research and to design our website to better meet its users' needs. As the circumstances require, this information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or to the extent that a third party is instructed to process this data.

The legal basis for processing this data for this purpose is your consent pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation. Consent may be withdrawn with future effect at any time.

Users may prevent Google from recording and processing data generated by the cookie linked to their use of the website (including the IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=em

Further information about Google and how Google processes data can be found here.

10.2 Microsoft Clarity

For analytical testing purposes, we use Microsoft Clarity for the website and the hotel booking engine for a limited period of time. Microsoft Clarity is a web analytics service provided by Microsoft Corporation, Redmond WA 98052, USA. Microsoft Clarity enables user analysis on the basis of a pseudonymous user ID and thus on the basis of pseudonymous data, such as the analysis of data via mouse movements or performance data via certain Internet presentations. In particular, we process usage data (e.g. visited Internet presentations, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), location data (information on the geographical location of a device or a person), movement data (mouse movements, scrolling movements) in pseudonymised form. We have set the corresponding settings in such a way that data is collected on and by Microsoft alone in a pseudonymised manner, in particular in the form of IP masking (pseudonymisation of the IP address). The aim of the tool is to improve the website appearance.

The legal basis for processing this data for this purpose is your consent pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation. Consent may be withdrawn with future effect at any time.

10.3 Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows distributors to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool is a cookieless domain and does not record any personal data. The tool is used to deploy other tags that record personal data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data according to Google. If Google Tag Manager is disabled at the domain or cookie level, this will apply to all tracking tags implemented using Google Tag Manager. You can prevent tags from being placed at any time (see Section 9).

The legal basis for processing data for this purpose is our legitimate interest pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

10.4 Google DoubleClick

Our website uses DoubleClick by Google, a service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). For this, Google uses the DoubleClick cookie, which allows the website to recognise the browser used by the user when visiting other websites. The information generated by the cookie about visits to this website (including IP address) is transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

Google uses this information to evaluate the use of the website with regard to advertisements to be displayed, to compile reports about website activities and advertisements for the website operator and to provide other services related to use of the website and the Internet. As the circumstances require, Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required to do so by law or to the extent that a third party is instructed to process this data by Google. According to Google, users’ IP addresses will not be linked to other Google data under any circumstances.

Because of the marketing tools used, your browser will automatically establish a direct connection to the Google server. We therefore have no influence on the scope and further use of data collected by Google through this tool and as such this information is based on the current state of our knowledge: DoubleClick tells Google that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement displayed by us. If you have registered for a Google service, Google may link the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, the provider may have knowledge of and store your IP address.

Further information on DoubleClick by Google is available at: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/enterprise/ and on data protection at Google in general: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

To create pseudonymised user profiles for advertising and analysis purposes, we require your consent within the meaning of the applicable data protection legislation. Consent granted may be withdrawn with future effect at any time.

You may prevent the aforementioned data processing in various ways:

1. by changing the corresponding settings on your browser, in particular by blocking third-party cookies, which will ensure that you do not receive any advertisements from third-party providers;

2. by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by blocking cookies from the domain in your browser, https://www.google.en/settings/ads (this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies);

3. by disabling advertisements linked to your interests from providers participating in the self-regulation campaign “About Ads”, via https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN (this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies);

4. by permanently deactivating it in your browser: Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996.

10.5 Google Ads

On our website, we use the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). We use the offer of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising materials (Google Adwords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we aim to show you advertisements that are of interest to you, make our website more interesting to you and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is used when a user clicks on an advert placed by Google. The cookie allows us and Google to recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to our website. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block its use by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under User Settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can find further information about Google’s privacy policy at the following website: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation.

10.6 Microsoft Bing Ads

Our website uses conversion tracking from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. In this case, Microsoft Bing Ads places a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Microsoft Bing advertisement. This means Microsoft Bing and we can detect that someone has clicked on an ad, was redirected to our website, and reached a previously specified destination page (conversion page). We only get the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page

If you do not want information about your behaviour to be used by Microsoft as described above, you can refuse the necessary use of a cookie – for example, by using a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website and the processing of this data by Microsoft by clicking on the following link: http://choice.microsoft.com/en-US/opt-out Explain your objection. For more information about privacy and the cookies used by Microsoft and Bing Ads, please visit the Microsoft website at https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-US/privacystatement.

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation.

10.7 Cloudflare

On our website, we use “Cloudflare” from Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, to make the website faster and more secure. Cloudflare uses cookies and processes user data for this purpose. Cloudflare, Inc. is a US-based provider of a content delivery network and various security services. These services are located between the user and our web hosting provider.

Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN) consisting of interconnected servers. Cloudflare operates servers around the world that make websites appear faster on your screen. For this purpose, Cloudflare makes copies of our website, which are stored on the company’s servers. Therefore, when you visit our website, a load distribution system ensures that the main part of our website is loaded by a server that can provide you with our website as quickly as possible. The CDN shortens the transmission path of data to your browser considerably. Cloudflare delivers the content of our website not only from our web hosting server, but also from our own servers distributed around the world. Cloudflare has a particularly positive effect on users abroad, as the pages can be loaded from a nearby server. In addition to the quick setup of websites, Cloudflare also offers various security services, such as DDoS protection or the web application firewall.

Cloudflare generally only transmits data controlled by the website operator. This means that the content is not determined by Cloudflare, but by the website operator itself. In addition, Cloudflare may collect certain information about your use of our website and process data that we send or for which Cloudflare has received specific instructions. Essentially, Cloudflare receives data such as IP addresses, contacts and log information, security fingerprints and performance data from websites. The log data helps cloudflare, for example, to detect new threats. This enables Cloudflare to ensure a high level of security for our website.

Cloudflare also uses a cookie for security reasons. This cookie identifies individual users behind a common IP address and sets individual security settings for each individual user. The cookie is useful if, for example, you visit our website in a restaurant where there are several infected computers. We can then use the cookie to determine that your computer is trustworthy. This allows you to visit our website freely and without worry even though there are infected PCs around you. The cookie is an essential part of Cloudflare’s security features and cannot be disabled.

The legal basis for processing data for this purpose is our legitimate interest in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation.

10.8 Contentful

On our website, we use the content management system “Contentful” from the provider Contentful GmbH., Max-Urich-Strasse 3, 13355 Berlin, Germany, in order to ensure the proper provision of the content of our website. For this purpose, Contentful uses cookies and processes user data.

The tool used helps to provide content from our online offer more quickly with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you establish a connection to Contentful servers, transmitting your IP address and, if applicable, browser data such as your user agent. This data is processed solely for the purposes mentioned above and to maintain the security and functionality of Contentful.

The legal basis for processing data for this purpose is our legitimate interest in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation.

10.9 Pinterest tag

Our website uses the conversion tracking technology “Pinterest Tag” from Pinterest Europe Ltd. Palmerston House, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. The pixel allows us to collect, store and evaluate information about the search behaviour of website visitors in a pseudonymised form, which enables us to display advertising and offers relevant to them on Pinterest to our website visitors who have already been interested in our website and our content/offers and are Pinterest members. For this purpose, a conversion tracking pixel from Pinterest is integrated into our website, which informs Pinterest when you visit our website that you have accessed our website and which parts of our offer you are interested in. For example, if you were interested in our subscriptions on our website, you can see an ad about our subscriptions on Pinterest.

If the user is redirected to our website by a pin on Pinterest and the cookies used have not yet expired, the tag records certain user actions predefined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, search queries on the website, visits to subpages). When carrying out such an action, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie via the Pinterest tag to the Pinterest server with specific information about the action (e.g. type of action, time, browser type of device). Through this transmission, Pinterest may compile statistics on user behaviour on our website, which serve to optimise our offering.

If you do not want information about your behaviour to be used by Pinterest as described above, you can refuse the necessary setting of a cookie – for example, by setting your browser to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies.

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is your consent pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation. Consent granted may be withdrawn with future effect at any time.

Further information on data protection and the cookies used by Pinterest can be found on the Pinterest website at https://policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy.

10.10 Creation of pseudonymised user profiles

To provide you with personalised services and information on our website (on-site targeting), we use and analyse the data we collect about you when you visit the website. Cookies may be also used during the processing of this data (see Section 9 above). Usage data is only collated with pseudonymised data, and never with non-pseudonymised personal data.

The legal basis for processing this data for this purpose is our legitimate interest in optimising and personalising our online offering and advertising communications pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

11. Links to our social media pages

Our website contains links to social media networks. These are not plugins provided by social media networks, which start sending data to the provider when the site is loaded without user input. The social media network buttons conceal a simple link to our page on the social media network. No user data is transmitted from the website to the social media network.

The links lead to our pages on the following networks:

  • Facebook of Meta Platforms Inc., One Hacker Way Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you live in the EU or Switzerland, Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

  • Instagram from Meta Platforms Inc., One Hacker Way Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you live in the EU or Switzerland, Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

  • LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 West Maude Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA; if you reside in the EU or Switzerland, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland

  • Pinterest Inc., 635 High Street, Palo Alto, CA, 94301, USA; if you live in the EU or Switzerland, Pinterest Europe Ltd. Palmerston House, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Whenever you activate a link to our social media profiles, this will establish a direct link between your browser and the server of the social network in question. This informs the network that you have visited our website with your IP address and have activated the link. If you access a link to a network while logged into your account with that network, the contents of our site may be linked to your profile on the network, which means that the network may match your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you want to prevent this from happening, you should log out first before clicking such links. Your visit will definitely be matched to your account if you log into the respective network after clicking the link.

This information is usually sent by post. You may unsubscribe from this information at any time. To do so, contact the respective hotel or the head office atdatenschutz@tschuggencollection.ch.

Storage and exchange of data with third parties

15. Bookings via booking platforms

If you make bookings via a third-party platform (i.e. Booking.com, Ecohohtels, Expedia, Kind Traveller, Leading Hotels of the World, Swiss Deluxe Hotels, Weekend4Two, Google, HolidayCheck, Escapio, Kayak, Mr & Mrs Smith, Ski.com, Splendia, Powderbyrne, Travel Leaders, Tripadvisor, Trivago, Virtuoso, etc.), we will receive various personal information from the respective platform operator in connection with the booking made. This information generally comprises the data listed in Section 5 of this Privacy Policy. Enquiries regarding your booking might also be forwarded to us. We will process this data in connection with your name in order to record your booking as requested and to provide the booked services. The legal basis of data processing for this purpose is the necessity to take steps prior to entering into a contract, and the performance of a contract pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

Finally, we may be informed by the platform operators of any disputes connected to a booking. For this, we may also receive information about the booking process, including a copy of the booking confirmation as proof that the booking was actually made. We process this data to safeguard and enforce our claims. This is where our legitimate interest lies within the meaning of the applicable data protection legislation.

Please also note the information on data protection provided by the respective booking platform.

16. Central storage and linking of data

We store the data specified in this Privacy Policy in a central electronic data processing system (CRM). Data related to you will be systematically recorded and linked in order to process your bookings and handle the contractually agreed services. Within the scope of data protection law, we also enrich the data with data from public sources (e.g. press or Internet). To this end, we use the following software: protel hotelsoftware GmbH, Europaplatz 8, 44269 Dortmund (D) / Bookatable GmbH & Co. KG, Deichstrasse 48-50, 20459 Hamburg (D) / gastronovi GmbH, Buschhöhe 6, 28357 Bremen (D) / TAC Informationstechnologie GmbH, Schildbach 111, 8230 Hartberg (A).

The processing of this data within the framework of the software is based on our legitimate interest in customer-friendly and efficient customer data management within the meaning of the applicable data protection legislation as well as on taking contractual measures pursuant to it.

17. Retention period

We only store personal data for as long as necessary in order to use the tracking services mentioned above and for any further processing in which we have a legitimate interest. We keep contractual data for a longer period of time, as this is prescribed by legal storage obligations. Storage obligations, which oblige us to store data, result from regulations concerning the right to report, accounting and tax law. According to these regulations, business communications, contracts concluded and accounting records must be kept for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and tax purposes.

18. Disclosure of data to third parties

We will only disclose your personal data if you have expressly consented to such disclosure, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary for the enforcement of our rights, in particular for the enforcement of claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we disclose your data to third parties to the extent necessary within the context of website usage and contract performance, for providing you with the desired services and for analysing your user behaviour or if there is a legal obligation to do so (e.g. order from a law enforcement agency) or if this is necessary for enforcing claims arising from the contractual relationship (e.g. collection efforts). Use of the data disclosed for this purpose is strictly limited to the purposes specified.

Webhosting

One service provider to whom the personal data collected through the Site is shared or who has or may have access to it is our web hosting provider (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). The website is hosted on servers in Switzerland. The data is passed on for the purpose of providing and maintaining the functionalities of our website.

The legal basis for processing this data for this purpose is our legitimate interest pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

Booking via our website

When you make a booking via our website, the personal data collected in this context is transferred to OnePageBooking by HotelNetSolutions GmbH, Berlin (D) and TRUST International Hotel Reservation Services GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The data is passed on for the purpose of recording and registering your booking.

The legal basis of data processing for these purposes is the taking of steps prior to entering into a contract, and the performance of a contract pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

Data processing in the context of e-mail communication

In connection with the sending of e-mails, we use the Airtable service of the company Airtable. (799 Market Street, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA). Airtable is used to send confirmation e-mails, transaction confirmations and e-mails containing important information about user accounts and the facility.

The legal basis of data processing for these purposes is the taking of steps prior to entering into a contract, and the performance of a contract pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

Credit card information

When you make a credit card payment on the website or via a payment terminal, we forward your credit card information to your credit card issuer and to the credit card acquirer. For this purpose, we work with the software platforms Saferpay offered by SIX Payment Solutions AG, Hardturmstrasse 201, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland and Datatrans Payment Pages offered by Datatrans, Kreuzbühlstrasse 26, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland. If you decide to pay by credit card, you will be asked to enter all the information required for a credit card payment. The legal basis for disclosing data is the performance of a contract pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation. With respect to the processing of your credit card information by these third parties, we ask that you also read the General Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy of your credit card issuer. We will automatically delete your credit card details after your departure.

Guest feedback

We forward any data collected in connection with feedback provided by our guests to our partners IRC-Swiss GmbH, Ebikon (CH), Medallia, San Mateo, CA (USA) and Trustyou GmbH, Munich (D). The data will only be passed on for storage purposes. Data may only be processed on behalf of Tschuggen Collection AG.

The legal basis for processing this data for this purpose is our legitimate interest pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation in improving our services based on guest feedback and in securely storing this data.

Online reservations in our hotel restaurants

In connection with online table reservations for our hotel restaurants, we use the For a table reservation service provided by Lunchgate AG, Badenerstrasse 255, 8003 Zurich, Switzerland. When using the reservation service, you send personal data such as your name, telephone number, e-mail address, desired number of guests or comments to Lunchgate via the input fields. This data is necessary for making an online reservation and must therefore be stored by Lunchgate AG.

Further information on data protection at Lunchgate AG can be found in the provider’s terms of use at the following link: https://www.lunchgate.ch/nutzungsbedingungen.

The legal basis of data processing for these purposes is the taking of steps prior to entering into a contract, and the performance of a contract pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

Guest tickets, ski passes

Guest tickets (TicinoTicket, Arosa All-Inclusive card, etc.) can be issued to visitors at our destinations. The guest cards are linked to the collection of data for tourist taxes. Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy or you have given your explicit consent, we will only pass on your personal data to the guest card issuer (Engadin St.Moritz Tourismus AG, Arosa Tourismus, Ticino Turismo) to the extent that this is explicitly necessary for issuing the guest card or for charging the tourist tax. Data will also be passed on to the mountain railway or its operator (Arosa Bergbahnen, Bergbahnen Engadin St.Moritz AG) in order to issue some ski passes.

The legal basis of data processing for these purposes is the taking of steps prior to entering into a contract, and the performance of a contract pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation.

Video surveillance

In order to prevent misuse and to take action against illegal behaviour (in particular theft and damage to property), the entrance area and the publicly accessible areas of our hotel are monitored by cameras. The image data is only viewed if there is a suspicion of illegal behaviour. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in the protection of our property and the protection and enforcement of our rights in accordance with the relevant legislation.

Wifi use

The Wifi network provided in our hotels is operated by Swisscom Ltd. (Tiefenaustrasse 6, 3050 Bern, Switzerland). The following data may be processed: IP address, MAC address of your end device and the name specified. Swisscom may also store certain usage data such as visited websites, date, time and IP address.

Swisscom’s privacy policy can be viewed at https://www.swisscom.ch/en/about/privacy-statement.html.

The legal basis for processing this data for this purpose is our legitimate interest in providing Wifi access during your stay pursuant to the applicable data protection legislation and/or your consent when using the Wifi within the meaning of it. Consent granted may be withdrawn with future effect at any time.

19. Transmission of personal data abroad

We are entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties (commissioned service providers) abroad for the purpose of performing the data processing described in this Privacy Policy. These third parties are subject to the same data protection obligations as us. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or Europe, we have contractual agreements in place to ensure that the protection of your personal data is equivalent to that in Switzerland or the EU at all times.

20. Note regarding data transmissions to the USA

Some individual third-party service providers mentioned in this Privacy Policy are based in the USA. For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or domiciled in Switzerland or the EU that the US authorities have monitoring measures in place in the USA which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data was transmitted from Switzerland or the EU to the USA. This is done without differentiation, restrictions or exceptions in terms of the objective pursued and without an objective criterion which would make it possible to restrict the US authorities’ access to the data and its subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify the intrusion constituted by both access to such data and its use. Furthermore, we would like to point out that there are no legal remedies available in the USA for data subjects from Switzerland or the EU which would allow them to gain access to the data related to them and to have such data rectified or erased, and that there is no effective judicial protection against the general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly point out this legal and factual situation to data subjects to help them make an appropriately informed decision on whether to grant their consent for the use of their data.

Users residing in Switzerland or an EU Member State are advised that, from the standpoint of the European Union and Switzerland, the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection, in part because of the issues mentioned in this section. If we have explained in this Privacy Policy that recipients of data (such as Google) are based in the USA, we will ensure that your data is afforded an appropriate level of protection by our partners through contractual arrangements with these companies as well as through any additional appropriate guarantees required pertaining to the rights of persons whose personal data are sent to a third country.
