Categories of personal data

We process the following categories of personal data:

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

• Log files

• Location data

Duration of storage, retention periods

We store your data for as long as is necessary to provide our website and the associated services or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store your data (e.g., we may still have a legitimate interest in postal marketing even after a contract has been fulfilled). In all other cases we delete your personal data except for such data that we are obliged to store in order to fulfill legal obligations (e.g., we are obliged to retain documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period due to retention periods under tax and commercial law).

Data transfer to other controllers

In general, your personal data will only be transferred to other controllers if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the transfer, or if you have given your consent. For details on the legal basis and the recipients or categories of recipients, please refer to the section Processing purposes and legal bases.

Additionally, data may be transferred to other controllers if we are obliged to do so by law or by enforceable official or court order.

Data transfer to service providers

We involve external service providers with tasks such as sales and marketing services. We have carefully selected these service providers and monitor them regularly, in particular their careful handling and safeguarding of the data stored with them. All service providers are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the statutory provisions. Service providers may also be other companies from the Bosch Group.

Transfer to recipients outside the EEA

We may transfer personal data to recipients located outside the EEA into third countries. In such cases, we ensure before the transfer that either the data recipient provides an adequate level of data protection or that your consent to the transfer has been obtained.

You can obtain a copy of the appropriate or suitable safeguards. Please use the information mentioned in the Contact section for this purpose.

Processing purposes and legal bases

We and service providers contracted by us process your personal data for the following processing purposes:

Provision of this website

If you use our website solely for information purposes, that is, without registering or otherwise sending us information, we process your personal data to provide this website based on our legitimate interest to present us and to ensure stability and security.

Registration

If you wish to use services that require registration as part of a contract, we will collect your personal data to conclude and fulfill the contract (e.g., first name, last name, date of birth, e-mail address, and, if applicable, information on the desired payment method or account holder) and, if applicable, other data on a voluntary basis. We mark mandatory data with an *.

Our marketing activities

Participation in product and customer surveys

On our website, you have the opportunity to participate in product and customer surveys. These surveys are generally anonymized.

If we conduct a product and customer survey by mail, we enable you to participate by using your personal data from an existing contractual relationship. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest to optimize our own products and services, to develop new products and services and thus to maintain your satisfaction.

If you wish to participate in an electronic (e.g., by e-mail) or telephone product and customer survey, we will only contact you for this purpose with your express consent. Even if you have consented to be contacted, your participation in the survey is voluntary.

Newsletter

You can subscribe to newsletters as part of our website. We send these newsletters based on your consent.

To confirm your consent, we use a double opt-in procedure, according to which we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed the activation of the newsletter service by clicking on a link in a notification mail.

You can stop receiving the newsletter at any time by revoking your consent. The revocation takes place for e-mail newsletters via the link contained in the newsletter. Alternatively, please contact us using the details in the Contact section.

In order to design our newsletter according to demand and to optimize our offers, we analyze the reading behavior in our newsletters based on consent. For this analysis, the newsletters contain web beacons, also called pixels.

When you read the newsletter, we record which links you click on in the newsletter and infer your personal interests from this. We link this data with technical information about your terminal device (e.g., time of retrieval, browser type and operating system).

This analysis does not take place if you revoke your consent or have deactivated the display of images by default in your e-mail program. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed to you in full and you may not be able to use all the functions. As soon as you display the images, the analysis just described will be reactivated.

Registration for events

On our website, you have the opportunity to register for events (e.g., face-to-face, or online events, webinars). We use your personal data to conduct the event. You can find the details of whether and which personal data we process for this purpose on the respective event registration form.

Communication

Contact form

You contact us via a provided contact form. We store and use data entered in contact forms, such as name, e-mail, address and telephone number, to communicate with you. We process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in customer support and to improve our products and services.

We may also process your personal data to investigate service disruptions and for security reasons to comply with our legal obligations in the area of data security, as well as on the basis of our legitimate interest in the elimination of service disruptions and the security of our offers.

We may process your personal data to protect and defend our rights. This purpose also constitutes our legitimate interest.

Log Files

Every time you use the internet, certain information is automatically transmitted by your internet browser and stored in log files.

Log files are stored by us for the purpose of investigating service disruptions and for security reasons (e.g., to clarify attempted attacks) for a period of 90 days. Log files whose further storage is necessary for the purpose of evidence are exempt from deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident and may be passed on to investigative authorities in individual cases.

The following information is stored in the log files:

• Internet address of the website from which our website was accessed (origin or referrer URL);
• Name of the service provider used to access the website;

Use of Cookies and other technologies

In the course of providing our website, cookies and other technologies may be used that either store information on your terminal equipment or gain access to information stored on your terminal equipment.

These cookies are deleted at the end of your visit.

Technically not necessary mechanisms

We only use technically not necessary cookies and tracking mechanisms if you have given us your prior consent.

The only exception to this is the cookie that stores the current status of your privacy settings (selection cookie).

We use third-party tools to integrate technically not necessary cookies and mechanisms. These tools ensure that technically not necessary cookies and mechanisms are only set with your consent.

We use the following tools:

Name: Google Tag Manager

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Function: Management of website tags via an interface, integration of program codes on our websites

We use the following tools:

Name: Google Analytics

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Function: Analyze user behavior (page views, number of visitors and visits, downloads).

Additional information: We use the "anonymize IP" function, which anonymizes your IP address before writing it to disc.

We use the paid version of Google Analytics, in which the data collected on our website via Google Analytics is stored on own Google servers. Google may not use this data for its own purposes or mix it with other data that Google collects about you in other ways, such as when you are logged into your Google account on your browser while visiting our website.

Upon clicking on the link, we have no influence on the collecting, processing and use of personal data possibly transmitted by clicking on the link to the third party (such as the IP address or the URL of the site on which the link is located) as the conduct of third parties is beyond our control. We do not assume responsibility for the processing of personal data by third parties.

If the processing of your personal data is based on “legitimate interest”, you also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. The reasons shall be stated.
