Last updated: April 2026

Tobias Mittmann

As a small business without the obligation to appoint a data protection officer, you can direct all privacy-related enquiries to the contact details above.

2. General Information

This privacy policy explains which personal data is collected when you visit your-hotelphotographer.com ("the website") and how it is processed. The legal basis for data processing is the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in particular Articles 6(1)(a), 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f).

3. Hosting and Server Log Files

The website is hosted by a professional hosting provider. When you visit the website, your browser automatically transmits certain technical data to the server. This includes your IP address, the date and time of the request, the browser type, the operating system and the referring page. This data is stored in server log files and is necessary for the stable and secure operation of the website (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest). Log files are generally deleted automatically after 30 days.

4. Cookies and Consent

This website uses a self-hosted consent banner to allow you to choose which optional cookies and services may be activated. Your consent preferences are stored in a cookie in your browser. No personal data is transmitted to third parties as part of this process.

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are technically necessary for the website to function correctly. They include the storage of your consent selection. These cookies are set without prior consent (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4.2 Analytics — Matomo

If you consent, this website uses Matomo, a self-hosted, open-source web analytics tool. Matomo collects anonymised usage data to help understand how visitors interact with the website. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. No data is shared with third parties, and all analytics data remains on the hosting server. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner.

4.3 Matomo Opt-Out

Matomo tracking is currently not active because you have not consented to analytics in the cookie settings. No usage data is being collected.

4.4 External Media — YouTube

This website embeds videos from YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Videos are loaded in extended privacy mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which means YouTube does not set cookies unless you actively play a video after giving your consent. When a video is played, YouTube may collect your IP address and other usage data. Data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the United States; Google has committed to safeguards under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). More information: Google Privacy Policy.

5. Contact via Email and WhatsApp

If you contact the controller by email or WhatsApp, the personal data you provide (name, email address, phone number, message content) will be stored and processed solely for the purpose of handling your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). WhatsApp is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited; please refer to the WhatsApp Privacy Policy for details on their data processing. Your data will be deleted once the enquiry has been fully resolved, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

6. Your Rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). To exercise any of these rights, please contact the controller using the details above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence.
