Collection, processing and use of personal data

Data Categories

The following categories of data are processed:

• Communication data (e.g. name, telephone, e-mail, address, IP address)

Log files

Every time you use the Internet, certain information is automatically transmitted by your Internet browser and stored by us in so-called log files.

We store the log files for a maximum of 7 days to identify disruptions and security reasons (e.g. to investigate attempted attacks) and then delete them. Log files, which must be kept for evidence purposes, are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified and can be passed on to investigative authorities in individual cases.

The following information is stored in the log files:

• IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the end device from which the online offer is accessed;
• Internet address of the website from which the online offer was accessed (so-called source or referrer URL);
• Name of the retrieved files or information;
• Date, time and duration of retrieval;
• Amount of data transferred;
• Operating system and information on the Internet browser used, including installed add-ons (e.g. for Flash Player);
• http status code (e.g. "request successful" or "requested file not found").

Principles

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, contract, booking and billing data that express the identity of a person.

We collect, process and use personal data (including IP addresses) only if there is a legal basis for this or if you have given us permission to do so, e.g. B. as part of a registration, have given your consent.

Processing purposes and legal bases

The cooperation partners and service providers commissioned by them, process your personal data for the following purposes:

• Provision of this online offer (legal basis: legitimate interest on our part)
• To determine disruptions and for security reasons (legal basis: fulfillment of our legal obligations in the area of data security and legitimate interest in eliminating disruptions and the security of our offers).
• Protection and defense of our rights (legal basis: legitimate interest on our part in asserting and defending our rights).

Transfer of data to other responsible parties

We only transfer your personal data to other responsible parties if this is necessary to fulfill the contract, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the transfer or if the data subject has freely consented to such a transfer. Details on the legal bases and the recipients or categories of recipients can be found in the "Processing purposes and legal bases" section. In addition, data can be transmitted to other responsible parties if we are obliged to do so by law or by an enforceable official or court order.

Service providers (general)

We commission external service providers with tasks such as data hosting. We have carefully selected these service providers and monitor them regularly, in particular their careful handling and protection of the data stored with them. We oblige all service providers to maintain confidentiality and to comply with legal requirements. Service providers can also be other companies in the Bosch Group and the Volkswagen Group.

Disclosure to recipients outside the EEA

We may also pass on personal data to recipients who are based outside the EEA in so-called third countries. In this case, before passing it on, we ensure that the recipient either has an appropriate level of data protection or that you have freely consented into the transfer.

You can get an overview of the recipients in third countries and a copy of the specifically agreed regulations to ensure an appropriate level of data protection from us. Please use the information in the Contact section.

Duration of storage; Retention periods

In principle, we store your data for as long as this is necessary to provide our online offer and the associated services or we have a legitimate interest in further storage (e.g. after the fulfillment of a contract, we can still have a legitimate interest in postal marketing). We then delete your personal data, with the exception of data that we must continue to store to fulfill legal obligations (e.g. due to tax and commercial law retention periods, we are obliged to keep documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period of time).

Security

Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and comply with the provisions of the applicable data protection laws.

We take all necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure an appropriate level of protection and to protect your data managed by us, in particular against the risks of unintentional or unlawful destruction, manipulation, loss, modification or unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized access. Our security measures are constantly being improved in line with technological developments.

User rights

Please use the information in the Contact section to assert your rights. Please make sure that we can clearly identify you personally.

Right to information and access

You have the right to receive information from us about the processing of your data. To this end, you can assert a right to information in relation to the personal data that we process from you.

Right to rectification and erasure

You can ask us to correct inaccurate data. If the legal requirements are met, you can request the completion or deletion of your data.

This does not apply to data that is required for billing and accounting purposes or is subject to statutory retention requirements. However, if access to such data is not required, its processing will be restricted (see below).

Restriction of processing

You can demand that we restrict the processing of your data - insofar as the legal requirements are met.

Data Portability

Insofar as the legal requirements are met, you can request that the data you have made available to us be transmitted in a structured, common and machine-readable format or - if technically feasible - that the data be transmitted to a third party.

Objection to data processing with the legal basis "legitimate interest"

You also have the right to object to data processing by us at any time, insofar as this is based on the legal basis of "legitimate interest". We will then stop processing your data unless we can - in accordance with the legal requirements - prove compelling legitimate reasons for further processing which outweigh your rights.

Revocation of consent

If you have given us your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the legality of the processing of your data until you withdraw your consent.
