At WakeSys, we place the highest importance on handling your personal data with respect and confidentiality. Accordingly, WakeSys adheres to all applicable data protection laws and regulations, in particular to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The following privacy policy outlines which data is collected from you and how it is handled. This policy applies to all WakeSys products and services. WakeSys is a service of WakeSys s.a.r.l..
We would also like to note the following as regards to the usage of service providers located outside of the European Union: WakeSys Booking System is a service that is offered internationally. Thus, it extends not only beyond the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, but also beyond the European Union. We operate worldwide and our users are scattered across this planet. We would prefer to use European service providers for particular services and service offerings, where such providers can deliver the required services at a comparable and competitive price and service level. However, we also wish to be completely transparent. For many of the services that we use there is simply no comparable, acceptable alternative. As a result we therefore employ the use of a range of service providers outside the European Union, in particular from the USA. We take steps to ensure that measures according to the European Data Protection law are taken and applied so as to guarantee an adequate level of data protection.

WakeSys collects, processes, and uses your personal information without asking for explicit consent only when this information is necessary for fulfilling the terms of our contract and for billing purposes. What does this mean for you?
When registering in WakeSys, it is necessary to specify:
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. We are aware that children use our customer’s service and with that also their data is collected in WakeSys. However, autonomous sign up in WakeSys of underaged children is only allowed starting at the age of 16. Prior to that, the parent or legal guardian is in charge of registering the child and confirming consent with their signature in the name of the child. If we learn that personal data has been collected from persons under 16 years of age and without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information or contact the parent to register the child as a relation to their own account. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under 16 years of age has obtained an account within WakeSys without your consent, then you may alert us at info@wakesys.com and request that we delete that child’s personal data from our systems.
When you log into your WakeSys Booking System, the WakeSys server automatically collects data on how you use WakeSys in what is known as an activity log. The server collects information on your activity (number of sign-ins, etc.), statistical data (such as your browser, date and time of log in, cookie ID, and referrer URL), and your IP address for up to 3 months.
Logging into your account allows you to view your full transaction history at any time.
Your transaction history and activity log can be used for statistical and financial analysis, both on an individual as well as aggregated level, by the business owner.

When you sign into your WakeSys Booking System, WakeSys automatically sets a cookie to recognize your browser (this is called a session cookie). This allows you to enter your password only once per session (when you log in), without being asked repeatedly to do so while using WakeSys. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but it is possible to change your browser settings to refuse all cookies. If your browser is set to refuse all cookies, WakeSys will not function properly. You can delete cookies at any time, however, but will have to sign in again the next time you want to edit your WakeSys site.
Third-party services are used only used on www.wakesys.com for analysis-related purposes and not in the WakeSys Booking System. Most browsers allow you to deactivate third-party cookies in their settings. You can also choose to deactivate third-party cookies by going to the Network Advertising Initiative site and following the instructions there.
All personal data that is processed by WakeSys is stored on servers in Germany.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls. We use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission through public internet.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the service, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If you believe your personal data has been compromised, please contact us (info@wakesys.com).
If we learn of a security systems breach, we will inform you and the authorities of the occurrence of the breach in accordance with applicable law.
We will not intentionally disclose any personal data or client data that we collect or store on the service to third parties without the consent of the applicable WakeSys user. We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us doing so, as well as in the following circumstances:
We work with third party service providers who provide website, application development, hosting, maintenance, and other services for us. These third parties may have access to, or process personal data or client data as part of providing those services for us. We limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and our contracts with them require them to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
We guarantee that we do not collect and process your data for any other purpose than stated in the paragraphs above. This includes that we absolutely refrain from passing on and/or selling your personal data for advertising purposes or other purposes not stated above.
