Data protection information

Voucher store - VR-Banking payment service

Passing on the data

The administrator of the voucher store can access your personal data for the purpose of selective support and general technical support. We use the following service provider for this purpose:

Schmitz Marketing GmbH
Jahnstraße 7
58769 Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde

Virtual terminal

The network operator and the respective payment service providers for accepting and settling payment transactions (e.g. acquirers) process the data further. This is done in particular for payment processing, to prevent card misuse, to limit the risk of payment defaults and for statutory purposes, such as combating money laundering and criminal prosecution. For these purposes, your data will also be transmitted to other responsible parties, such as your card-issuing bank.

Many steps are necessary for you to be able to pay securely with your card. The payee where you pay by card therefore works together with a network operator and an acquirer. The payee, network operator and acquirer are each responsible for processing your data separately within their own technical sphere of influence:

  1. a) Payee for the integration of the virtual terminal into the webshop/application and, if applicable, for its internal network until secure transmission via the Internet to the network operator. The name and contact details of the payee can be found in the legal notice of the webshop you are using
  2. b) Network operator for central commercial network operation, processing, conversion, risk assessment and further transmission. Your commercial network operator is VR Payment GmbH.
  3. c) Acquirer is a payment service provider regulated under the German Payment Services Supervision Act (Zahlungsdienstaufsichtsgesetz - ZAG) that accepts and settles payment transactions on behalf of the payee.

Who the acquirer is depends on what type of card you have used. The contact details of the acquirer involved in processing your payment can therefore be requested in writing from the above-mentioned network operator, stating the payment method, terminal ID, date and name of the payee.

What data is used for the payment?

  • Card details: IBAN or account number and sort code or credit card number, card expiry date and card sequence number.
  • Payment data: Amount, date, time, terminal identifier (location of the provider and company where you pay), verification data of your means of payment.
  • Charge back - If you dispute a transaction that was made with your card: Proof of purchase and any other information about you that the payee wants to use to prove their claim, such as your name and address.

Where do we get your data from?

  • You enter your identification data or, if applicable, 3D Secure data from your card provider yourself.
  • We receive some data from payment recipients where you pay by card.
  • To the extent necessary for the verification of the card payment (authorization) or for the reversal of a card payment, we also process data that we permissibly obtain from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debtor directories) or that are legitimately transmitted to us by third parties (e.g. your bank or a credit agency).

What data protection rights do I have?

  • the right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR
  • the right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR
  • the right to erasure in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR
  • the right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR

The restrictions under Sections 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right to information and the right to erasure.

Do I have to provide my data?

You are not obliged to pay by card. However, if you decide to pay by card, we are obliged by law and by contracts with the German Banking Industry, among others, to collect your data. If you do not provide your data, card payment is not possible.

Will my data be used for automated decision-making?

If you want to use your card for payment, the card payment must first be authorized. Authorization is carried out automatically using your data.
The following considerations in particular may play a role here: Payment amount, place of payment, previous payment history, payee, payment purpose. Card payment is not possible without authorization. This has no influence on other payment methods (e.g. other cards or cash).

Right to object in individual cases

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of data which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, i.e. to the processing of data on the basis of a balancing of interests.

Please address your objection to: haendlerservice@vr-payment.de

If you lodge a justified objection, your data will no longer be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, with two exceptions:

  • Your data will continue to be processed if the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, in particular e.g. in the case of statutory retention obligations and to process a payment that has already been initiated at the payment terminal but has not yet been completed.
  • Your data will be further processed if this serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

What our guests say

We have been to the "Alte Rebschule" several times and it has always been TOP. Starting with breakfast, through the snack to the 4-course menu in the evening, which is always excellent. Here you can find peace and quiet from the stress of everyday life.
The Hotel Alte Rebschule near Rhodt unter Rietburg is beautifully situated in the vineyards and offers a lovely view over the Rhine plain. The room was very nice, especially large and nicely furnished. The staff were friendly and attentive.
The feel-good hotel Alte Rebschule is located on the edge of the forest with a magnificent view over the vineyards. A place to completely switch off. We had a wonderfully light-flooded seminar room. The food, the service and the rooms were excellent. We had a great yoga weekend here.
