Digital Safety First: SSL Encryption and Your Cavallino d’Oro Online Booking

Planning a mountain escape should feel exciting—not risky. That’s why SSL encryption sits at the heart of every digital interaction you have with Cavallino d’Oro. From browsing prices and sending a stay request to purchasing gift vouchers or completing an online payment, SSL encryption protects your personal data in transit. In this guide, you’ll learn what SSL is, how to spot it instantly, and which concrete protections support your Cavallino d’Oro online booking and other services.

What SSL Encryption Means for You

SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) establishes a protected connection between your browser and our website so that personal data you enter is encrypted during transmission. On cavallino.it, SSL is active across pages where you share information, and you can verify protection by the padlock icon in your browser. Clicking the padlock lets you confirm the SSL certificate is valid and up to date.

In practical terms, SSL encryption helps:

• Prevent unauthorized interception of sensitive fields you submit (for example, contact details during a stay request).
• Ensure the data you send is delivered to our server without being altered in transit.
• Provide a visible trust signal (the padlock) so you can quickly check connection security before entering information.

How to verify SSL in seconds

1. Look for the padlock icon next to the website address.
2. Click the padlock to view certificate validity and status.
3. Confirm the address bar begins with https:// (a secure protocol indicator).

Where SSL Encryption Protects Your Cavallino d’Oro Journey

While SSL protects data in transit, different services may involve additional processing steps. Here’s how key interactions are protected and handled.

Stay requests and contact forms

• SSL encrypts personal data you submit through our online forms.
• Mandatory fields are clearly marked to process your request efficiently.
• Your data is treated for the period strictly necessary to handle your query.

Online payments

• Payments made via our Online payment page are protected by SSL encryption.
• Encryption helps shield the details you enter during the payment flow.

Gift voucher purchases

• Online voucher sales are processed with software provided by ADDITIVE s.n.c., 39011 Lana (BZ), Italy.
• Data for voucher transactions is processed and stored in the EU.
• Your data is required to fulfil the contract or pre-contractual steps; without it, the purchase cannot be completed.
• Data is not transferred to outside third parties, except your credit card data, which is sent to the payment provider and to our tax accountant to meet tax obligations.
• Processing follows Art. 6(1)(a) (consent) and/or Art. 6(1)(b) (contract performance) GDPR.

Newsletter sign-up and unsubscribe

• Subscription is voluntary via our online form.
• You can unsubscribe at any time through the “Unsubscribe/Disiscriviti” link in every newsletter.

Beyond SSL: Additional Privacy and Safety Measures

SSL is one layer of protection. Cavallino d’Oro also implements practices that enhance transparency and safeguard your data.

Data controller and contacts

• The data controller is Nima Demetz GmbH, Str. Petlin 35, I-39046 Ortisei Val Gardena (BZ), Italy.

Collaboration with trusted third parties

• When suppliers are involved, they are contractually bound to apply equivalent privacy and safety standards.

Analytics, fonts, and embedded media

• The site uses Google Analytics in IP-masking mode, which collects IP addresses in an anonymized format for statistics.
• Google Web Fonts are loaded to ensure consistent text display; to do so, your browser connects to Google’s servers, informing Google that your IP accessed cavallino.it.
• Some pages may include a Vimeo plug-in. When present, a direct connection to Vimeo’s servers in the USA is established, transmitting the visited page and your IP address. If you are logged into Vimeo, this data may be linked to your Vimeo profile.

Cookies and your choices

• The website uses cookies to improve navigation and recognize returning visitors.
• You can delete stored cookies or configure your browser to block them. Some site functions may no longer work correctly if cookies are disabled.
