If you do not wish to have your identity card scanned during your visit, this is no problem for us. One of our employees can enter your personal data manually. However, our employee will verify the information that you provide (your identity) with that on the identity card.

When you send an email to us, we may keep those messages and ask for some of your personal data, which is necessary for the situation. This allows us to process your questions and respond to your requests.

During your visit to Waer Waters, some of your personal data will be linked to an RFID wristband.

The gates and turnstiles are equipped with an RFID reader. They check the wristband for validity before opening, and show us if you are in our wellness facilities, a restaurant or the fitness room.

Everything you use during your visit to Waer Waters is scanned onto your RFID wristband during your visit. When you leave Waer Waters, your RFID band will be scanned and your bill made up.

After your visit to Waer Waters, the RFID wristband is disconnected from your personal data so that it can be linked to a new visitor.

Waer Waters processes your personal data for the following purposes:

 

5.7.THE LEGAL BASIS OF THE DATA PROCESSING

Waer Waters bases its actions in regard to processing your personal data on the following legal grounds:

Permission: When we ask for your permission to process your personal data and you give it to us. You may withdraw this permission at any time. This withdrawal shall apply only to the period after withdrawal and shall not affect the legality of any processing that took place up to the date of withdrawal.

Execution of an Agreement: If processing your personal data by Waer Waters is necessary in order to perform our services.

Legal obligation: If processing your personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation that Waer Waters is subject to.

Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for the protection of Waer Waters' legitimate interests.

 

5.8.SECURITY AND RETENTION PERIOD

Waer Waters takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized processing.

Personal data: Waer Waters does not retain personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was provided. This means that Waer Waters does not retain your data for longer than is necessary to provide the service(s) concerned to you. The personal data will be automatically deleted from our system after a maximum period of 5 years of inactivity. The foregoing shall not apply if Waer Waters is required, on grounds of a legal obligation, to retain data for longer.

Camera images; Access to the camera images is only permitted for authorized persons. Camera images are stored for up to 30 days before they are automatically deleted unless an incident has occurred. In this case, the images will be deleted when they are no longer required in connection with the incident.

 

5.9.PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We do not pass on or sell your personal data to others, unless this is necessary for the provision of the service, required by law, or we have your written consent.

We always conclude a data processing agreement with organizations that process your personal data on behalf of Waer Waters, e.g., the company that makes our website. This ensures that they also treat your personal data in a secure and confidential manner.

 

5.10.YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You have the right to an understandable and transparent explanation of how we handle your personal data. In this connection, you have the following rights.

Right of inspection: You have the right to request, at any time, access to the personal data that we have available about you.

Right to correction: You have the right to correct your personal data if it is incorrect or out of date and/or to have it restated if it is incomplete.

Right to object: You have the right to object to the fact that your personal data will be processed if that processing is based on a public collective interest or the legitimate interest of the processor of your personal data. In addition, you may also apply this right of objection if your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes.

Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request a restriction on processing your personal data. By limiting the processing of your personal data, your personal data can still be retained, but its use is limited. If you have requested a processing restriction, the data processor may only store your data. This means that your data can no longer be used to perform other operations, and you will no longer be able to use Waer Waters services.

When you submit a request to delete your personal data, we will remove any data that may be traceable to you, except for the data that we must or may retain under the law.
