Data processed when you visit the website

Our web server processes technical access data needed to deliver and protect the website. This can include your IP address, the requested URL, the date and time of access, the referrer URL, browser and device information, the amount of data transferred, and error or security information.

We use this data to provide the website, maintain security, investigate faults, and prevent misuse. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, this processing is based on our legitimate interests in the secure and reliable operation of the website. Server logs are retained only for operational, security, and legal needs and are then deleted or anonymised.

Hosting and secure transmission

The website is hosted on servers in Germany. HTTPS encryption protects data transmitted between your browser and the website while it is in transit.

Contact requests

If you contact us by email or through a contact form where offered, we process the information you provide, such as your name, email address, subject, and message, to answer your request. Depending on the request, the legal basis may be your consent, steps taken before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, or our legitimate interest in responding to correspondence. We retain messages only for as long as necessary for the request and any applicable legal or record-keeping obligations.

Matomo website statistics

We use a self-hosted Matomo installation at analytics.max-td.com to understand aggregated website use and improve the service. Matomo is configured without analytics cookies and respects the Do Not Track setting sent by your browser. Technical information such as the page viewed, referrer, browser and device details, and the IP address used for the connection may be processed on our Matomo server.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on our legitimate interest in obtaining privacy-friendly, aggregated usage statistics. You can prevent this tracking by enabling Do Not Track in your browser.

Cookies and consent choices

The website may use technically necessary storage for security, forms, and remembering choices. Where optional cookies or similar identifiers are used, they are activated only where permitted and, where required, after a consent choice. You can accept or reject the available purposes in the consent message and change or withdraw your choice for the future through the privacy controls shown on the website. You can also delete stored data through your browser settings.

Google AdSense and consent management

We use Google AdSense to display advertising and finance the website. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, a Google-certified consent platform may request and store advertising choices. Depending on your choice and location, Google and its advertising partners may process your IP address, browser and device information, online identifiers, consent signals, and interactions with advertisements to deliver, limit, secure, and measure ads. Personalised advertising is used only where the required consent has been given.

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, is the Google service provider for users in the EEA and Switzerland; Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, may also process data. Details are provided in Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s business data and privacy information. Google may process data outside your country and uses the transfer safeguards described in its privacy information.

Booking.com and accommodation search

The website contains links or search forms that lead to Booking.com. Search details such as destination, travel dates, and number of guests are sent to Booking.com only when you actively submit a search or follow a link. Booking.com then processes the data under its own Privacy and Cookie Statement. We may receive commission information if a booking or other qualifying action follows an affiliate link.

Other external links

Links may lead to travel providers, tourist information services, map services, image sources, or other external websites. No data is sent to those websites merely because a normal text or image link is displayed; the external provider receives connection data when you follow the link and is responsible for its own privacy practices.

Recipients and international transfers

Personal data may be processed by hosting and technical service providers, communication providers, Google advertising services, and external booking services where this is necessary for the purposes described above. We disclose data only where necessary for those purposes, where legally required, or where you choose to use an external service.

Because MAX TD PTY LTD is based in Australia and some service providers operate internationally, data may be processed outside your country. Where European data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, the relevant adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism is used.

Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected and for applicable security, evidence, accounting, tax, or legal obligations. External providers determine their own retention periods as described in their privacy information.

Your privacy rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, or objection. You may withdraw consent at any time for the future without affecting earlier lawful processing. To exercise your rights, email hi@princ-solutions.com.

If the GDPR applies, you may complain to the data protection authority in your place of residence, work, or the place of the alleged infringement. In the United Kingdom, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office. In Australia, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Children

This website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly request personal data from children without the consent or other legal basis required by applicable law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the website, services, or legal requirements change. The current version and update date are published here.
