3. General information about visiting our websites and using our web offers

3.1 Log files

Every time one of our websites is accessed, Wendelsteinbahn collects data and information via an automated system. This is stored in the log files of the server, i.e. the files that record the processes running on a computer or network system.

  • The following details are collected in this way:

  • Information about browser type and version

  • Operating system of the user

  • Internet service provider of the user

  • IP address of the user

  • Date and time of access

  • Websites from which the user’s system has accessed our website (referrers)

Processing of the IP address serves to protect against or trace any hacking or cyberattacks. Processing of the remaining data serves to deliver the content of our website, ensure the functionality of our IT systems, optimise our internet presence and preserve the functionality of the website. The data of these log files is always stored separately from the user’s other personal data.

This processing of your data as described above is required to safeguard the legitimate interests of Wendelsteinbahn and is justified by balancing the respective interests in favour of Wendelsteinbahn. Wendelsteinbahn has a legitimate interest in ensuring that the website and services offered there function in a technical sense and are protected from cyberattacks. Your justifiable interest that the aforementioned data is not used for this purpose does not outweigh the legitimate interest of Wendelsteinbahn, since Wendelsteinbahn uses this data appropriately and in accordance with the stated purpose and you also benefit from the functionality of the websites.

Your personal data will be erased after a period of no more than 14 days, except where Wendelsteinbahn is required by law to retain the information or retention of it is permitted for legitimate reasons.

3.2 Options for making contact

Wendelsteinbahn processes your personal data for the purpose of making contact with you. Contact forms for the purpose of electronic contact are available on our websites. Alternatively, you have the option of making contact with us via the contact details provided in Section 2 of this document.

When you make contact with us via one of these channels, the personal details voluntarily supplied by you are automatically saved. They are stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry, making contact with you or, with your consent, used for marketing purposes.

This processing of your data as described above is required to safeguard the legitimate interests of Wendelsteinbahn and is justified by balancing the respective interests in favour of Wendelsteinbahn. Wendelsteinbahn has a legitimate interest in providing you with a platform for simple contact and communication with us. Your justifiable interest that the aforementioned data is not used for this purpose does not outweigh the legitimate interest of Wendelsteinbahn, since it is also in your interest for us to process your contact request and respond to it accordingly. Other personal data processed during the dispatching process serves to prevent any misuse of the contact form and safeguard the security of our IT systems.

Your personal data will be automatically deleted 3 months after your contact request has been answered and there is no further justification (such as an existing customer relationship) or statutory requirement to retain the information.

Google Analytics

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics to collect usage data from our websites. This enables us to compile reports on website activity and thus to improve the website.

Furthermore, we use Google Analytics to process additional information from users, provided they are registered with Google and have consented to the processing of their data for personalized advertising. In these cases, the usage activities on our website are assigned to the Google account, possibly including location, search history and YouTube history. If applicable, cross device tracking might also take place. We receive socalled insights, i.e. aggregated demographic information about our website visitors.

In addition, by clicking on the "Accept all" button, you give us your consent for your data to be processed in countries outside the European Union (EU), namely in the USA and in other third countries. This can make it more difficult to enforce your rights as a data subject.
