Privacy Policy

kiters inn takes the protection of its users’ personal data very seriously and complies with the applicable data protection regulations. kiters inn processes your personal data only if the law permits data processing or if you have given your consent to the processing of your data.

As far as you provide us with data voluntarily, these data will only be used in the context of the respective occasion, e.g. in the context of an inquiry to answer it or in the context of an application in the context of the respective application process. They are not used for other purposes or passed on to third parties.

Users of our website remain anonymous. If you use links on our web and sub-websites that lead to other companies, we may receive a small fee from the company in question. However, when you use the link, no data about you, including your IP address, is transmitted to the linked other website, but either only an identifier from which it is clear that the (anonymous) user has reached the website of the company in question via us, or the route via us results from the fact that the link to the linked other website is via an access individually assigned to our company. Also subsequently, no personal data is sent from us to the other company, nor do we receive such data back from them, so that you as a user remain completely anonymous to us.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
