a. Our website also includes links to other websites such as those of our National Organisations, their locations and other cooperation partners; this is solely done for information purposes, unless a joint responsibility applies for the reservation portal. These websites are not under our control and are therefore not covered by the provisions of this data privacy notice.

This is done regardless of whether you are logged into a Google account or not. In the case that you are logged in to Google, your data will directly be assigned to your account.
