Our company takes the protection of personal data very seriously. We want you to know what data we collect, when we collect it and how we use it. When handling and processing personal data, we comply with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). In the following, we inform you in accordance with Art. 13 and Art. 14 GDPR about how we process your personal data.
In principle, it is not necessary to disclose personal data in order to use the TMGS website. Every time you access one of our pages, data about your visit to the website is stored in a log file. These log files and processed usage statistics are made available to us by our web host. This is not personal data; we cannot determine which user called up which data. Collected data will not be passed on to any third parties. Please note that data transmitted via the Internet (e.g. via e-mail communication) may be subject to security breaches. Completely protecting data against third-party access is therefore impossible.
Consent to the processing of personal data can only be given by an adult. For information society services that are offered directly to the child, the consent of a child is permissible from the age of sixteen in accordance with Art. 8 GDPR.
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in "server log files", which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:
We use the log data only for statistical, operational and security purposes or to optimise our offer/our website. This data will not be combined with data from other sources.
For certain offers and services we need personal data in individual cases. In this case, the data you provide voluntarily – for example via a form – will only be used by us for the purpose you have requested, for example to contact you. Collected data will not be passed on to any third parties.
"Cookies" are small files that enable us to store specific information related to you, the user, on your PC while you visit one of our websites. Cookies help us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our website, as well as to make our offers as convenient and efficient as possible for you.
First, we use "session cookies", which are cached exclusively for the duration of your visit to our website . Second, we use "permanent cookies" to record information about visitors who repeatedly access one of our websites. The purpose of using these cookies is to provide you with optimum user guidance, to "recognise" you and to present you with as varied a website as possible and new content in the event of repeated use. The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number. Name, IP address etc. are not stored. An individual profile is not created about your usage behaviour.
It is also possible to use our offers without cookies. In your browser, you can deactivate the saving of cookies, limit them to particular websites, or set the browser to notify you when a cookie is sent. You can also delete cookies from your computer's hard drive at any time (folder: "Cookies"). Please note, however, that in this case, you should expect a limited page presentation and limited user guidance.
As a data subject you have the right:
For anything pertaining to this, please contact us via email at info@sachsen-tour.de. Alternatively, as in all other cases, you can of course contact our company at the postal address provided.
Furthermore, according to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, data subjects have the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more purposes with future effect. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal is not affected. However, a withdrawal usually means that the purpose for which the data was collected cannot be fulfilled. For anything pertaining to this, please contact us via email at info@sachsen-tour.de.
Personal data will be erased if the purpose for storage no longer applies and no legal norm (e.g. the statutory retention period) prescribes the retention of the data. The requirements of Art. 17 GDPR apply in conjunction with Section 35 BDSG. If the erasure is not possible for legal, contractual or commercial or tax reasons, the processing of the data can be restricted at the request of the data subject.
The company ensures the right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR. Every data subject has the right to receive a copy of their personal data in a standard machine-readable file format.
According to Art. 77 GDPR, data subjects have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority at your usual place of residence our registered office.
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art 21 GDPR if there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which we will implement without the need for you to specify a particular situation. If you would like to make use of your right of withdrawal or objection, emailing info@sachsen-tour.de is sufficient.
We maintain up-to-date technical measures to ensure data security, in particular, to protect your personal data against dangers during data transfers, as well as prior knowledge of third parties. These are adapted to the current state of the art in each case.
When you visit our website, we utilise the common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method together with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Usually this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. The transmission of a single page of our website in encrypted form is indicated on our website by the display of a closed key or lock icon in the bottom status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved corresponding to the technological developments.
Plug-ins from the social networks Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and Twitter are integrated on our website. You can recognize the plug-ins by the corresponding logos or "Like" buttons on our site. To protect your personal data, no direct connection is initially established between your browser and the servers of the providers of the social media services Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and Twitter via the respective plug-in. The plug-ins only become active when you activate these buttons and thus declare your consent to communication with Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest or Twitter and thus establish a connection to the social networks.
The connection to the social media services is only established with a second click on the respective button. Clicking on one of these buttons means that you as the user give your consent to transmit data to the respective operator of the social network. But only for this one website and for the selected service. When you call up other TMGS pages, the deactivated button appears once more.
The buttons of the social networks you use regularly can also be permanently activated. To do this, tick the appropriate box under the gear icon. The selected button is then always directly active. You can change this again later using the gear icon.
Be careful what information you disclose in these channels via comments. These are visible to other visitors to the site and to the administrators. Because the websites are public, any information you share with a website is public data. This means that a comment can also be used outside of the respective social media channel. Be aware that this information may be indexed by search engines, including Google. This data is neither evaluated nor recorded elsewhere by us, neither now nor in the future. The statistics provided by the respective social media channels are issued in aggregated form and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about personal data.
Plug-ins from the social network Facebook, provider Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are integrated on our website. You can recognize the Facebook plug-ins by the Facebook logo on our page. For an overview of Facebook plug-ins, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US.
When visiting our site, the plug-in will establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. A connection to the social network is only established when you click on the button and the associated consent to communication with Facebook. This allows Facebook to associate visits to our website with your user account. Please note that we, as the provider of these webpages, do not have any knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to, or their use by Facebook. Further information can be found in Facebook's Privacy Policy https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If you do not wish that Facebook can assign your visit to our pages to your Facebook user account, please log out from your Facebook account.
Our website uses plug-ins from the YouTube site, which is operated by Google. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
If you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plug-in, no direct connection to the Google servers is initially established. Only when you activate the YouTube videos embedded in our website do you enter the scope of the Google data usage guidelines at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB&gl=de. This means that information about your use of YouTube is transmitted to the operator in the USA and may be saved.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB&gl=DE.
We use Instagram to be able to display and offer you content and functions of the Instagram social platform on our website and thereby improve our offer and the user experience and make it more interesting. "Instagram" is a social plug-in from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as: "Instagram") to display content from the Instagram social platform on websites on our website to involve Personal or personally identifiable data is passed on to Instagram. If you have an Instagram user account and are registered, Instagram can also assign the visit to your user account. Instagram stores this data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or requirements-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for non-logged-in users) to provide interest-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. Please contact Instagram directly for this.
If you want to prevent data transfer, you cannot use the Instagram functions. Irrespective of this, we recommend that you regularly log out of your user account after using a social network, but especially before activating integrated content, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the respective provider.

This website uses external fonts: Google Fonts. Google Fonts is a service of Google Inc. ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043, USA). Integration of these web fonts is implemented – insofar as they are not integrated locally – via a server access, typically a Google server in the United States.
As a result, the following may be transmitted to the server and stored by Google:
For more information, see the Google Privacy Policy, which can be found here:
The use of Google Fonts serves to make it easier for you to read our website and to make it graphically more pleasant. It is used either with your consent or through local integration.
Legal basis for the dynamic integration of Google Fonts is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In the case of local integration, the processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in a uniform presentation in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the case of dynamic integration, the data (such as IP address) is processed solely for the duration of the page load and is not stored by us.
The use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., for demand-oriented design and continuous optimisation of our pages: (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see Section 4) are used. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website, such as
are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other countries that are contracting parties to the Agreement in the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, compile reports regarding website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of these websites. This information may also be transferred to third parties, provided this is legally required, or to the extent that such third parties process the information. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymised, so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).
Google Analytics is used exclusively with your prior express consent. Legal basis is therefore § 25 para. 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1(a) GDPR. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is deleted automatically once a month.
You may refuse the use or storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we would point out that in this case, it may not be possible to use all of the functions of our website to the full extent.
Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to the usage of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug that is available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en). As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie applies only in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en), at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
Please note that on this website Google Analytics has been extended with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to ensure an anonymised collection of IP addresses (IP masking).
We use Google Ads to draw attention to our offer with the help of advertising ("Google Ads") on Google and external websites. In addition, we are able to analyse which of our advertising measures bring what success.
Google Ads is a tool of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). Further information about Google, such as Google's Privacy Policy, can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de. For more information about Google Ads, visit https://ads.google.com/intl/en/home/. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google via Google Ads, thus we are informing you to the best of our knowledge.
As part of the use of Google Ads, we use Google Ads conversion tracking. Google Ads conversion tracking makes it possible to analyse the usage behaviour of the person concerned after clicking on one of our advertisements. If you click on a Google ad, Google will store cookies on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. They are not used for personal identification. Based on the cookies, it is then possible to recognize which of our offers you have viewed, and which features of our website you have subsequently used. Google provides us with corresponding statistical evaluations that we can use to determine the effectiveness of our advertising measures.
We also use the Google Ads remarketing function. The remarketing function makes it possible to present advertisements on websites operated by third parties. As part of the Google Ads remarketing function, the usage behaviour of the person concerned is analysed on our website, for example which of our offers the person concerned was interested in. Based on this, the data subject can be shown targeted advertising on other websites even after they have left our website. For this purpose, Google Ads stores cookies (cf. the explanations above under “Cookies”) on your system. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. They are not used for personal identification. The setting of cookies enables Google to analyse the use of our website by the data subject.
The processing is carried out on the basis of your explicit consent. Only in the event that your consent should prove to be ineffective for formal reasons, will we base the processing on the legal basis of a balancing of interests, with our legitimate interest being in targeted advertising and in analysing the effect and efficiency of this advertising. You can change your participation in this tracking process here at any time. Please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this site in full.
The processing is conducted on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1(a) GDPR).
The cookies set as part of Google Ads expire after 30 days at the latest. We ourselves do not store any personal data in the long term as part of Google Ads tracking.
We use Google Tag Manager to implement additional plug-ins on our website. However, Google Tag Manager does not process any personal data. This data is processed only by the other installed plug-ins, which is pointed out separately in this privacy policy.
The Tag Manager itself does not set any cookies and does not process any personal data beyond the mere IP address to establish a connection. Legal basis for the use is our legitimate interest in the simple administration of our website tags in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR.
We use the Meta Conversions API on our website. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").
The Meta Conversions API enables us to transmit user interactions on our website (so-called events, e.g. page views, clicks, booking requests) directly to Meta on the server side. In contrast to the Meta pixel, the data is transfered in the Conversions API from our server to Meta's servers.
The following data may be transmitted, for example:
This data processing serves the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of our advertisements on Meta's platforms (Facebook, Instagram), forming target groups for advertisements (Custom Audiences) and optimising our advertising campaigns. NB: This data is collected and transferred to Meta regardless of whether you have an account with Facebook or Instagram or are logged in there.
The processing of your data by means of the Meta Conversions API as well as the associated reading/storage of information in the end device is carried out exclusively on the basis of your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1(a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future via our cookie settings.
The data collected via the Meta Conversions API on our server is only temporarily processed by us for the duration of the transmission to Meta and is not permanently stored on our servers. The event data received by Meta is usually stored by Meta for a maximum period of 180 days (in particular in the context of "Custom Audiences") in order to enable us to evaluate advertising campaigns and build target groups. After that, this data will be anonymised or deleted by Meta, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. Details on the storage period at Meta can be found in Meta's data policy.
Insofar aspersonal data is collected on our website through the Meta Conversions API and forwarded to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its disclosure to Meta.We have set out our obligations in an agreement with Meta: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
According to this agreement, we are responsible for the provision of the data protection information and for the secure implementation under data protection law. You can assert your rights as a data subject (e.g. requests for information or deletion) with regard to the data processed by Meta directly with Meta.
The collected data may also be transmitted to the servers of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum. In addition, Meta Platforms Inc. is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF), which ensures compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 3 sentence 1 lit. a) in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR and, in the alternative, lit. f). By processing the data, consentmanager helps us (according to GDPR this is the responsible party) to fulfill our legal obligations (e.g. obligation to provide evidence). Our legitimate interests in processing lie in the storage of user settings and preferences with regard to the use of cookies and other functionalities.
"Consentmanager" stores your data as long as your user settings are active. After two years after making the user settings, the consent will be asked again. The user settings made are then saved again for this period.

We offer you the opportunity to subscribe to various newsletters on our website. We use these newsletters to inform you about our offers at regular intervals. In order to receive our newsletter, you need a valid e-mail address. We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter referred to as "newsletters") only with the consent of the recipients (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1(a) GDPR) or legal permission. Our newsletters contain information on travel topics (e.g. tourist information, events and bookable offers), from the field of market research and tourism cooperation.
Subscription to our newsletter takes place using a process known as double opt-in. This means that after registration you will receive an email in which you are asked to confirm your registration. Confirmation is required to ensure that no one can subscribe using another person's email address. A record of subscriptions to the newsletter is kept in order to record the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with Maileon are also logged.
The newsletter is sent using “Maileon”, a newsletter mailing platform from the German provider XQueue GmbH, Advanced E-Mail-Marketing Technologies, Christian-Pleß-Str, 11-13, 63069 Offenbach am Main.
The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice are stored on the servers of XQueue in Germany. XQueue uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Technical information (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) is collected as well. This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to ensure that the content of future newsletters better matches the interests of recipients. If you do not wish your use of the newsletter to be analysed by XQueue, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. However, XQueue does not use the recipient data of our newsletter to approach recipients directly, nor do they pass the information on to third parties. XQueue is obliged to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

This information is only used to personalise the newsletter. Furthermore, we also ask you to optionally indicate your place of residence and your country. We only use this information to adapt the contents of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.
Statistical data collection includes an analysis of when the newsletters are opened, and which links are clicked on. This information cannot be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of the readers and to adapt our content to them.
There are cases in which we direct the newsletter recipients to the web pages of XQueue. For example, if our newsletters contain a link with which the newsletter recipients can view the newsletters online (e.g. in case of display problems in the email program). Likewise, the Privacy Policy of XQueue is only available on their site. In this context, we have pointed out that cookies are used on the websites of XQueue, and thus personal data are processed by XQueue, its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics).
