My AH.com
My AH.com may be used to register as a user of our site by entering your contact details. One of the advantages of being registered is that you do not have to re-enter your details every time you make a booking. You may un-register again at any time.

We will then delete your contact details. My AH.com also enables users to be kept informed by e-mail about travel tips, changes to the site, special offers, etc. It can also be used to subscribe to a newsletter. Users are free to choose whether or not to benefit from this form of customer support, and may unsubscribe again at any time.

Whenever you make a booking using AppartementHotels.com, your booking details are passed onto your chosen hotel to enable the reservation to be made. Apart from this, your data is not passed on to any third parties. Under no circumstances will AppartementHotels.com sell or lend out your contact details.
In exceptional circumstances, legal regulations, judicial or official orders may require us to hand data over to the relevant authority or court. However, this is only undertaken within the framework of our legal obligations.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that your browser stores on your computer‘s hard disk. They simplify booking by automatically calling up frequently-used data on sites you have already visited. You can set your computer to not store any cookies on your computer. However, this may prevent you using some of the functions we offer. The basic "search-and-book" functions can also be used without cookies.

4. Questions

You may ask to see your stored personal data at any time. You also have the right to correct, delete or (in the case of incorrect data) bar such data. Contact details should be amended under My AH.com. However, contractual and/or legal regulations, particularly those relating to accounting and payment, may prevent certain data from being deleted.

Privacy Policy - AppartementHotels.com

AppartementHotels.com wants to increase your trust in the online reservation system. This is why we provide comprehensive information on our policies regarding the privacy of your personal information.

Anonymous Use of the Reservation Service

top 

The reservation service can generally be used without making any personal entries, i.e. anonymous use is possible. This means that the user can inform himself about offers without registering.

Registration

top 

To complete a transaction, personal information such as the user's name and address are required. The user is explicitly notified about data acquisition that takes place during registration. This required data, the extent of which can be seen on the registration form, is needed to formulate and process the contractual relationship. The entry of data which is labeled as voluntary is not absolutely necessary for registration. If voluntary entries are made, these will be evaluated anonymously and for statistical purposes only.

Transaction Data

top 

AppartementHotels.com forwards the data needed for completion of the accommodations contract, and which was transmitted during the transactions, to the respective contractual partner. In the MyAH.com area, registered users have access to an overview of their personal information. This information is reserved exclusively for them.

User Profile

top 

AppartementHotels.com creates no personalized user profiles. All page-views and use of the AppartementHotels.com reservation platform is recorded anonymously. The data gained from this is used by AppartementHotels.com solely to improve the design and user guidance of the site.

Hotel bookings made through AppartementHotels.com can be canceled at any time. To do this, an e-mail addressed to » info@appartementhotels.com is sufficient.

Cookies

AppartementHotels.com uses so-called "cookies". These are set at time of log-in and contain a "session-ID" that authenticates the user during his active session. AppartementHotels.com can be used without cookies as well.

Right of Information

top 

We give registered users information free of charge and at any time concerning their personal data that is stored in our system. An e-mail request addressed to » info@appartementhotels.com is sufficient.

Deletion
