Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

Notifications
It is possible to be notified by email in case of new comments on an article or in case of answers to your own comment.
To receive notifications, the registration must be approved in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with foreign e-mail addresses. The registrations are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address.
It is possible to unsubscribe from the notification at any time. To do so, you must click on the Unsubscribe link in a notification e-mail. Alternatively a short email to info@travel-dealz.com is sufficient.

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e., a file the size of a pixel, which is catched by the server of the service provider when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our intention to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.

Keyword Alert
We offer an automated keyword alert for our deals and posts. Users are free to decide which topics they would like to be informed about. The keyword alert is available on several platforms:
Browser Push Notifications
In web browsers that support notifications according to the Push API standard, we offer our keyword alert directly on the website. Due to legitimate interest, we permanently store a unique user ID in the browser’s local storage and send it to our web server together with the endpoint and authentication token provided by the browser. Only in this way is communication between our server and the browser possible. We store the user ID in the browser so that the keywords can be edited at any time.
The user has the option at any time of deleting his or her stored data from our web server and in his or her browser by clicking on Delete my data on the keyword alert page.
Chatbot
We offer a chatbot for the Telegram Messenger to provide the keyword alert services. Based on our legitimate interest, and with the express consent of the user, we store the User ID provided by the Messenger. In addition, we store the time of the declaration of consent for the storage of the data and the stored keywords. Further personal data can be communicated to us by the messenger, but are expressly not stored by us.
The user has – at any time – the possibility to have all stored personal data deleted immediately via the command “forget”.
