  • General & Data Protection Officer

    The protection of personal data and the responsible handling of the information you entrust to us are important and particularly important to us. We respect and protect the personal rights of each individual.

    It is important to us that you have a good feeling when dealing with our offers and therefore ask you to contact us at any time and in any way as soon as you have a concern regarding your stay or your data. In tourism, it is common practice for a travel agent to provide all the data of all the travel participants when making reservations with several travel participants. Since we are obliged to provide this information to all fellow travelers, we would like to ask you, as the person registering the trip, to pass this information on to your fellow travelers.

    Our contact details are as follows:

    Hotel Mühlenthal GmbH
    Bachtalstraße 214
    66773 Schwalbach
    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

    Our data protection officer Ursula Haas, who you can reach at the email address provided, not only ensures that our processes are in line with the law, but is also your contact person for data processing matters with us.

    Using our websites for information purposes is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data is collected on our website, this is always done voluntarily and in connection with the use of one of our services (e.g. booking/reservation form, contact form).

    We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps despite the precautions taken. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. In principle, the scope of your recorded data is always limited to the minimum necessary for the prompt and problem-free processing of your request.

  • Secure data transmission through SSL encryption

    The entire website access/data transfer between your browser and our systems is encrypted. We use Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encryption technology. SSL technology protects and encrypts your data. It enables an extraordinarily high level of security for data transmissions.

  • Legal basis for the collection, processing and storage of personal data

    We only collect, process and use personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Telemedia Act (TMG), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Act against Unfair Competition (UWG).

    Collection of data

    The following categories show the processes and procedures in which data can be collected:

    Contacting us

    • Using the contact form on our website
    • By email
    • By telephone
    • By post
    • By Facebook
    • Personal contact on site/at trade fairs

    Subscriptions

    • E-mail newsletter

    Brokerage & consulting services

    • Booking and quotation requests
    • Information requests and additional services (e.g. rental of e-bikes)
    • Transmission of information for payment processing
    • Reservation orders

    When you contact us, you may be asked to provide personal data (e.g. name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, etc.) that will be used to process your reservation request. In some cases, payment-related information (credit card number, bank details, etc.) will also be requested if this is necessary to process your request.

    In common practice, the data for reservations with multiple travel participants is only transmitted by one traveler. We assume that the traveler transmits the data of all travel participants to us with their consent and sends the data protection information to all affected fellow travelers.

  • Processing of data

    We assure you that all personal and payment-related data will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

    We undertake to use the personal data collected, processed and stored when using the services offered only for our own purposes and for the purposes of processing contracts concluded with the relevant travel providers with our involvement.

    By our own purposes we mean, on the one hand, support purposes (e.g. information on the course of a stay, reservation changes, information about the service used, etc.) and, on the other hand, information purposes (e.g. sending e-mail customer newsletters, discount campaigns for existing customers, etc.).

    Your data will not be passed on to third parties. Excluded are the tour operators and partner companies related to your stay that are necessary to support our business processes. In these cases, however, the scope of the data transmitted is limited to the minimum required.

  • Storage of data

    As a service-oriented tourism service provider, the high quality of our offers and the smooth and rapid processing of your requests are important to us. We are characterized by a very high level of customer satisfaction, which is also reflected in a high repeat and regular customer rate.

    In order to meet the interests of a (regular) customer in the event of a renewed reservation request and to be able to offer fast, uncomplicated and recurring services, we store your personal data for an indefinite period of time, but at the latest until you object, revoke or request deletion. We adhere to the minimum data required by law.

    We would like to point out that your reservation requests can only be processed correctly with the necessary personal data. If we do not have this data, we reserve the right to withdraw from our offer or the contract.

  • Your rights

    In accordance with the GDPR, we would like to inform you at this point about your rights regarding your personal data.

    1. Right to information: You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing takes place, you can request various information from us, such as the purposes of the processing, the planned duration of storage, the existence of a right of appeal, etc.
    2. Right to rectification: You have the right to have your data rectified and/or completed if the personal data concerning you that are processed are incorrect or incomplete. We must carry out the rectification immediately.
    3. Right to restriction of processing: Under various circumstances, you can request that the processing of data concerning you be restricted. This includes, for example, if there are doubts about the accuracy, the processing is unlawful or we no longer need the data. We must inform you as soon as the restriction is lifted.
    4. Right to erasure: On the basis of certain reasons, you can request that your data be erased. Reasons may be, for example, that the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you have withdrawn your consent, you have lodged an objection, we have processed your data unlawfully, etc.
    5. Right to data portability: You have the right to have us provide you with your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer it to third parties at your request.
    6. Right of objection: You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
    7. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
  • Newsletter

    Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter can object to the use of their data for advertising purposes at any time via a link at the bottom of the newsletter. An informal email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the relevant content is also sufficient.

    To send the newsletter, we use the MailChimp software from the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

    The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, MailChimp can use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the sending and presentation of the newsletter. MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or to pass it on to third parties.

    We are convinced of the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection regulations. We have also concluded a "Data Processing Agreement" with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to comply with the relevant data protection regulations and, in particular, not to pass on data to third parties.

  • Measures to comply with data protection

    We have taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data you provide from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access. All of our employees and all persons involved in data processing are obliged to maintain secrecy and to handle personal data confidentially.

  • Use of cookies

    Our website uses cookies to improve the user experience. Cookies are small text files that are placed and saved on your computer system via an Internet browser.

    Numerous Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows Internet sites and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was saved. By using cookies, we can provide you with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

    The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website using the settings offered on the website or by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

    We would like to point out that full use of all our offers is not possible without cookies. Cookies are required for a successful reservation via the HRS website. In particular, checking the booking data and assigning Mühlenthal reservations would otherwise not be possible.

  • Use of Google Web Fonts

    Our websites use so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

  • Use of Google reCAPTCHA

    We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is intended to check whether the data entered on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a person or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, length of time the website visitor stays on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
