III. Social Media Buttons
On our website, we use the following social media plug-ins integrated through cookies: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. The plug-ins can be identified by the social media buttons marked with the logo of the provider of the respective social media networks
We have implemented these plug-ins using the so-called 2-click solution. This means that when you navigate on our Website, Personal Data will initially not be collected by the providers of these social media plug-ins. Only if you click on one of the plug-ins will your Personal Data be transmitted: By activating the plug-in, data is automatically transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored by them (in the case of US providers your Personal Data will be stored in the USA). We neither have an influence on the collected data and data processing operations conducted by the providers nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes or the retention periods.
The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of presenting need-based advertising and informing other users of the social network about your activities on our Website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with our social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offers and make it more interesting for you as a user.
The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as you can then avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
Information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the respective privacy policies of these providers, where you will also find further information on your rights and options for the protection of your personal data.
IV. Integration of YouTube videos
We have included a link to our YouTube channel on our website. The videos are stored on http://www.YouTube.com, operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

IX. What kind of security measures for compliance with data protection?
We strive to maintain the appropriate standards of security and we have put in place robust technical and organizational measures for the protection of your Personal Data in accordance with the current state-of-the-art technologies, especially to protect the data against loss, falsification or access by unauthorized third persons. However, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. So, whilst we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorized access. Our internal processing takes place inside a VPN which is firewalled against the open internet and inside of which any kind of communication is processed in an encrypted way. As far as third parties (i.e., external companies) are rendering data processing services for us, we have committed them to compliance with our data privacy regulations. The external service providers are supervised by our Data Protection Manager in terms of compliance with these regulations.
X. Your Rights

– withdraw your consent at any time
– ask us whether we process Personal Data about you, for which purposes, the categories of Personal Data concerned, to which categories of recipients the information has been disclosed, where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored (or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period),
– inquire with us about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer to a third party,
ask us for a copy of the Personal Data undergoing processing and ask to receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller without any hindrance from us. We guarantee that no unauthorized persons are able to have access to your reservations,
- have inaccurate data rectified,
- object against the further processing and request erasure of your Personal Data,
- request that the processing of your personal data is restricted by Subterran Limited,

XI. Retention and deletion of Personal Data
We will retain your personal data only for a limited period of time needed to fulfil the purposes of processing mentioned above. After that time your personal data will be erased. If we process your personal data based on your consent, we will retain your personal data for a limited period of time needed to fulfil the purposes of processing it.
Where we enter into a contract with you, we will keep your information for the duration of the contractual relationship you have with us, and, to the extent permitted, after the end of that relationship for as long as necessary to perform the purposes set out in this notice. The criteria to determine the storage period are statutory and contractual requirements, the nature of our relationship with you, the nature of the data concerned and the technical requirements. Laws may require us to hold certain information for specific periods.
In other cases, we may retain data for an appropriate period after any relationship with you ends to protect itself from legal claims or to administer its business.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. We will update the date at the top of its first page accordingly and encourage you to check for changes that we have made, which will be available in our legal notice.
