4. Legal bases

We process personal data on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

  • Performance of a contract — where processing is necessary to handle booking requests, confirm and perform Bookings, provide access to the Accommodation, communicate with the Guest and manage payments.
  • Legal obligation — where processing is necessary for accounting, tax, tourist-tax, safety, registration or other statutory obligations.
  • Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary to protect the Accommodation, manage Security Deposit deductions, prevent damage or misuse, handle complaints, maintain evidence, recover amounts due, secure access systems and defend legal claims.
  • Consent — where legally required, for example for certain optional communications or non-essential cookies, if used.

The GDPR requires controllers to inform data subjects about the purposes, legal bases, recipients, retention periods and rights relating to the processing of personal data.

5. Who receives personal data

We may share personal data with the following recipients where necessary:

  • payment service providers, including Stripe, banks and card/payment providers;
  • accountants, tax advisers, legal advisers and insurers;
  • IT, hosting, website, booking-form, e-mail, cloud-storage, smart-lock or technical service providers;
  • cleaning, maintenance, repair, key-management or property-support providers;
  • Holiday Park Zeewind II or park management where necessary for access, safety, nuisance, park-rule compliance or incident handling;
  • public authorities, police, courts, tax authorities or local authorities where required by law or necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

Stripe and other payment providers may process payment data under their own terms and privacy notices.

6. International transfers

We aim to process personal data solely within the European Economic Area. Where a service provider processes personal data outside the EEA, we will rely on appropriate safeguards where required, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.

7. How long we keep personal data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above.

As a general rule:

  • booking, payment, invoice and accounting records are kept for the statutory accounting and tax retention period;
  • booking correspondence and guest administration are kept for as long as necessary to manage the Booking and any related claims;
  • Security Deposit, damage, complaint and dispute records may be kept until the matter is resolved and for the applicable limitation period;
  • access codes are deactivated after the Stay Period, unless earlier deactivation is required for security reasons;
  • optional marketing data, if any, is kept until consent is withdrawn or the communication is no longer relevant.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration.

Access to personal data is limited to persons and service providers who need it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
