Legal Basis for Personal Data

We will only collect and use your Personal Data, if at least one of the following conditions applies:

  • A contract is in place with you, such as for travel management. We need to process your Personal Data so that we can manage your account or booking, provide you with the products and services you want to buy, and help you with any bookings, cancellations and refunds.
  • FROSCH has legitimate business interests, for example: fraud prevention, maintaining the security of our network and services, and the improvement of our services. If you are a prospective customer, the Personal Data we collect, and use is necessary for our legitimate interest in providing you with information about the services we offer, and about which you have expressed an interest or that we believe will be of benefit to you. Where appropriate, we will obtain your consent at the time we communicate with you. Whenever we rely on this lawful basis to process your data, we assess our business interests to make sure they do not override your rights. Additionally, in some cases you have the right to object to this processing. For more information, visit the ‘Your rights’ section of this policy
  • Compliance with a mandatory legal obligation, for example, sharing Personal Data with regulatory authorities so you can travel. It may be mandatory (as required by government authorities, such as US secure flight data) to disclose and process your Personal Data for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism purposes.

Social media features

Our websites or mobile apps may contain social media features such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram that have their own privacy notices. Please make sure you read their terms and conditions and privacy notice carefully before providing any Personal Data as we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these features. When we use social plug-ins on our websites from social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, we integrate them as follows:

  • When you visit our websites, the social plug-ins are deactivated, i.e. no data is transmitted to the operators of these networks. If you want to use one of the networks, click on the respective social plug-in to establish a direct connection to the server of the respective network
  • If you have a user account on the network and are logged in when you activate the social plug-in, the network can associate your visit to our websites with your user account. If you want to avoid this, please log out of the network before activating the social plug-in.
  • When you activate a social plug-in, the network transfers the content that becomes available directly to your browser, which integrates it into our websites. In this situation, data transmissions can also take place that are initiated and controlled by the respective social network. Your connection to a social network, the data transfers taking place between the network and your system, and your interactions on that platform are governed solely by the privacy policies of that network.
  • The social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies.

Safeguarding Personal Data

We use adequate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data managed by us against manipulation, loss, destruction and against access by unauthorized persons. We are constantly improving our security measures in line with technological developments. Although FROSCH makes every effort to ensure the protection, integrity and security of FROSCH’s network and systems, FROSCH cannot guarantee or warrant that the security measures will protect all Personal Data.

The security of your data also depends on you. For example, where you have chosen a password for access to certain services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Data Retention

We will retain your Personal Data for only as long as it is necessary for the uses set out in this Privacy Notice and/or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. After this period, we will securely erase Personal Data.
