Legal bases for processing

We process your personal data to perform a contract. That is the case in particular if you make use of one of our offers (e.g. school visit, holiday camp etc.). In this connection, we use your personal data to the extent needed to provide the service. In the absence of the data collected from you for processing to enable the contractual service to be provided, we cannot or can no longer provide our services.

Some of our processing activities are necessary to safeguard our justified interests. These also include processing your personal data to notify and improve our offer.

We obtain your consent before sending you advertising material or the Newsletter and in order to improve our offer.
