Privacy policy
1. General remarks
This Data Privacy Policy applies to all persons, who use the services of TRAVEL EUROPE Reiseveranstaltungs GmbH, hereinafter referred to as Travel Europe. With this policy, we inform you about the scope and purpose of the gathering and other processing of personal data by our company. We respect the private sphere and strive to adhere closely to the legal requirements for the processing of personal data (EU Regulation No. 679/2016 (GDPR), the Data Protection Law of 2018 and the Telecommunications Law of 2003) All personal data is processed on this basis.
Personal data (e.g. name, email address, phone number) is processed and transmitted by Travel Europe exclusively in legitimate ways – in particular for the fulfilment of contractual duties, based on outweighing justified interests or based on the consent given by the data subject.
The data processing is required according to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR for the fulfilment of the contract and respectively the execution of pre-contractual measures. Within the scope of our activity, we continuously have to pass on personal data (in particular, name and date of birth if applicable) to third parties (e.g. airlines, incoming travel agencies, hotels, etc.). We do this exclusively to process the booked trip correctly and in the customer’s interest. In this context, it can happen that said data must also be forwarded to companies in third countries, foremost when a service provider is domiciled in a third country (e.g. an airline) or if the booked trip goes to a third country. We expressly point out that there is often not a level of data protection in third countries that is equivalent to that of the European Union and there is therefore the risk that the data will not be protected accordingly. The data is transmitted to third countries usually on the basis of Art. 49 (1) lit. b) and lit. c) GDPR. In the individual case, we cannot inform the customer that and to whom we transmit the data, as this frequently proves to be impossible or would require disproportionate effort.
Insofar as the legitimacy for correct data processing is based on a consent given by the user, it can be revoked at any time (also in part) by sending an email to gdpr
Furthermore, the data subject has a right to receive information about the personal data pertaining to him/her, a right to the transferability of data, to correction or deletion of personal data, to the restriction of or objection to the processing of his/her personal data and to data portability. The user can exercise these rights by email to gdpr
Lastly, the user has a right to lodge complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Hohenstaufengasse 3, 1010 Vienna, dsb@dsb.gv.at, www.dsb.gv.at).
Irrespective of the information below regarding deletion, deletion will not be carried out in individual data processing cases, insofar as the personal data to be deleted can be used for other legitimate processing (e.g. house advertising) in accordance with this Data Privacy Policy or if a statutory retention obligation applies.
2. House advertising

The user can object to the processing of his/her data for this purpose when it is gathered and also at any time thereafter by email to gdpr
