3.1 Data collection
Website
You can always visit our websites without giving any personal information. We collect personal information only when you provide it to us voluntarily, via an input or contact form. For such data you will be e.g. asked to submit a booking request for tours, a contact request or an interest request for special events via an entry and contact form. All data that you provide to us via our website will only be transmitted in encrypted form.
You can also contact us by mail and make booking inquiries. We point out that the unencrypted data transfer via e-mail can have security gaps. If you want to increase protection of your data transmitted in the e-mail from external access, we offer you to write us a PGP encrypted e-mail. Here you can download our public key:

When registering for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used with your consent to keep you informed about our products and services until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. You may unsubscribe at any time by revoking your consent to receive the newsletter for the future without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs of your access provider's base rates.

Community
You have the voluntary option to log in to our closed member area on the subdomain community.land-water-adventures.com. An account is required to log in. The creation of an account takes place either by you following an invitation e-mail or by us adding an account given your consent by an appropriate checkbox in the reservation form. In the first case, you voluntarily enter your name, e-mail address and, if you wish, other data. In the second case we create your account after your consent by using your e-mail address and your name.

3.2 Type of data
Booking inquiries and bookings
To process a booking request for our tours, we require the following data from you:
First and Last Name
E-mail address
Address (street, house number, zip code and city)
Telephone number (only for questions)
The data provided by you we use without your separate consent exclusively for the fulfillment and processing of your bookings. If no booking is made, any personal data collected may be deleted. Only when a booking is made will the above data be transferred to our customer database where it will be stored for communication, billing and marketing purposes. The data collected will be retained for as long as necessary to provide our services (including information about personalized offers, see below), to comply with legal obligations, to settle disputes or to enforce agreements. This also includes that we draw your attention to special offers that are right for you via e-mail. If you do not want to receive personalized offers, you can object to this use at any time by responding to such an email with a note.
Health data
For certain tours, all tour participants must complete a questionnaire in advance of the tour, which should clarify health risks. The completed questionnaire is transmitted online using the SSL-secured URL https://www.land-water-adventures.com/fragebogen. Submitted questionnaires are printed and separated from the other digital data by deleting the digital transmission. The information given there will be used to test the ability of the tour participants to participate in the tour, and if there are any risks, the guides will be informed of these risks for the tour. The data is archived for 10 years to defend any claim by the declarant in paper form.
Anonymized data
In order to continuously improve our services we store your zip code and how you became aware of LWA without any connection to other personal data permanently.

With every page view, access data is stored in a log file, the server log. The saved data set contains the following data:

Users' IP addresses will not be saved after the visit to our website has ended, but will be deleted or anonymised subject to any statutory retention requirements after the end of the use.
