Last updated: October 2026. This page explains which data is processed when you visit this website, for what purpose and on what legal basis.
1. Controller
VaFuori GmbH, Theaterplatz 5, 9020 Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Austria, managing directors: Sascha Marx and Hanna Kosel, for the Slow Travel Resort Kirchleitn, Rosennockstraße 13, 9546 Bad Kleinkirchheim. Contact for data protection questions: booknow@slowtravelling.com, phone +43 4240 8244.
2. Delivery of the website (hosting)
The website is delivered and protected via Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA). In the process, technically necessary data is processed: IP address, time, requested address, browser and operating system, referrer. Purpose: delivery, security and defence against attacks. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Any transfer to the USA takes place on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
3. Storage in your browser
We do not set any cookies for advertising or measurement purposes without your consent. In your browser’s storage (localStorage, sessionStorage) we only store what the site needs to work: your choice in the consent window, your choice of winter or summer, the most recently loaded weather forecast (30 minutes) and whether the snowfall effect is switched on. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us. Legal basis: § 165 Abs. 3 TKG 2021 (Austrian Telecommunications Act) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can delete it at any time in your browser settings.
4. Fonts and images
Fonts and images are hosted on our own server. No requests are made to Google Fonts or other font providers.
5. Measurement and advertising, only with your consent
Only when you select ‘Accept’ in the consent window do we load Google Tag Manager. It starts:
- Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited, Ireland): we see how visitors use the site, for example which pages are viewed and where visitors come from.
- Google Ads conversion tracking (Google Ireland Limited): we see whether an ad led to a booking or a call.
- Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Ireland): we see whether advertising on Facebook or Instagram led to a visit or a booking.
In the process, cookies and similar identifiers are set, for example _ga, _gcl_au and _fbp, and data such as IP address, device data, pages viewed, clicks on phone, email or WhatsApp as well as booking number and booking value are transmitted to the providers. A transfer to the USA is possible; it takes place on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the Standard Contractual Clauses. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 165 Abs. 3 TKG 2021). You can withdraw it at any time via ‘Change consent’ at the bottom of every page; the lawfulness of processing carried out up to that point remains unaffected. If you select ‘Necessary only’, none of this is loaded.
6. Chat with Turtle
The chat is provided by DialogShift (dialogshift.com). The chat window loads when the page is opened so that you can reach us at any time; in the process, your IP address and technical data are transmitted to DialogShift. We use what you write in the chat to answer your enquiry. Some of the answers in the chat come from an AI; on request, our team takes over. If you switch from the chat to WhatsApp, the terms of WhatsApp (Meta) also apply. Legal basis: the initiation and performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in answering questions quickly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). DialogShift processes the data as our processor.
7. Weather in the village
Your browser loads the weather forecast in the page header directly from GeoSphere Austria (Federal Institute for Geology, Geophysics, Climatology and Meteorology, Vienna). In the process, your IP address is transmitted to GeoSphere Austria; no cookies are set. Legal basis: legitimate interest in showing you the local weather (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The weather data is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
8. Booking
Booking under /buchen/ is provided by HotelNetSolutions (OnePageBooking). Your booking is stored and processed in our hotel system Mews, and payment is made via the payment services connected there. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and legal obligations, such as the duty to register guests and retention for tax and accounting purposes (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR). After the booking, we transmit the booking number and a source identifier (such as ‘Google ad’ or ‘Newsletter’) to our server at our service provider NONAH; this does not include your name, address or payment details. You can voluntarily tell us how you found us. Legal basis: legitimate interest in evaluating our advertising (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
9. Contact by email, phone or WhatsApp
If you write to us or call us, we use your details to answer your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). Links to WhatsApp open the WhatsApp app or website (Meta); WhatsApp’s privacy terms apply there.
10. Newsletter (Slow Notes)
If you sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of the page, we send your email address, your first name (optional), the page language and where you came from via our service provider NONAH (api.nonah.at) to Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, Paris, France). You first receive an email to confirm; only then are you subscribed. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
11. Links to other websites
Links to Google Maps, to our other properties or to partners only open their pages when you click on them. The respective operators are responsible for their data processing.
12. How long we store data
For as long as is necessary for the respective purpose: enquiries until they have been dealt with and afterwards for traceability, bookings for as long as statutory retention obligations require (in Austria generally seven years). The providers store measurement and advertising data according to their own retention periods.
13. Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, as well as the right to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, write to us at booknow@slowtravelling.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority: Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Wien, dsb.gv.at.
