2. Collection and processing of your personal data
a. When you visit our website, we store certain information
about the browser and operating system you use, the date and
time of your visit, the access status (e.g. whether you were
able to access a website or received an error message), the
use of website functions, the search terms you may have
entered, the frequency with which you access individual
websites, the designation of files accessed, the amount of
data transferred, the website from which you accessed our
websites and the website which you visit from our websites,
either by clicking on links on our websites or by entering a
do-main directly in the input field of the same tab (or the
same window) of your browser in which you opened our websites.
We also store your IP ad-dress and the name of your Internet
service provider for seven days for security reasons, in
particular to prevent and detect attacks on our websites or
attempts at fraud.
b. We only store other personal data if you provide this data,
e.g. as part of a registration, a contact form, a survey, a
price competition or for the execution of a contract, and even
in these cases only insofar as this is permitted to us on the
basis of a consent given by you or in accordance with the
applicable legal provisions (further information on this can
be found below in the section "Legal basis of
processing").
c. You are not legally or contractually obliged to make
available your personal data. However, it is possible that
certain functions of our websites depend on the availability
of personal data. If you do not make available personal data
in these cases, this may result in functions not being
available or only being available to a limited extent.
3. Purposes of use
a. We use the personal data collected when you visit our
website in order to operate it in the most convenient manner
for your use and to protect our IT systems from attacks and
other illegal activities.
b. If you provide us with further personal data, e.g. within
the scope of a registration, a contact form, a survey, a price
competition or for the execution of a contract, we use this
data for the purposes mentioned, for the purposes of customer
administration and - if necessary - for the purposes of
processing and accounting of any business transactions, in
each case to the extent required for this.
4. Security
We use technical and organisational security measures to
protect your data managed by us against manipulation, loss,
destruction and against access by unauthorised persons. We are
constantly improving our security measures in line with
technological developments.
5. Legal bases of processing
a. Insofar as you have given us your consent for the
processing of your personal data, that consent is the legal
basis for the processing (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR).
b. For the processing of personal data for the purposes of
initiating or fulfilling a contract with you, Art. 6 para. 1
letter b GDPR is the legal basis.
c. Insofar as the processing of your personal data is
necessary for the fulfilment of our legal obligations (e.g.
for the retention of data), we are authorized to do so
pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter c GDPR.
d. In addition, we process personal data for the purposes of
safeguarding our legitimate interests and the legitimate
interests of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter f
GDPR. Maintaining the functionality of our IT systems,
marketing our own and third-party products and services as
well as documenting business contacts as required by law are
such legitimate interests. As part of the consideration of
interests required in each case, we take into account various
aspects, in particular the type of personal information, the
purpose of processing, the circumstances of processing and
your interest in the confidentiality of your personal
information.
6. Deletion of your personal data
Your IP address and the name of your Internet service
provider, which we only store for security reasons, will be
deleted after seven days. Otherwise, we delete your personal
data as soon as the purpose for which we have collected and
processed the data ceases to apply. Beyond this time period,
data storage only takes place to the extent made necessary by
the legislation, regulations or other legal provisions to
which we are subject in the EU or by legal provisions in
third-party countries if these have an appropriate level of
data protection. Should it not be possible to delete data in
individual cases, the relevant personal data are flagged to
restrict their further processing.
7. Rights of the data subject
a. As a data subject, you have the right of access (Art. 15
GDPR), right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), right to erasure
(Art. 17 GDPR), right to restriction of processing (Art. 18
GDPR) and right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
b. If you have consented to the processing of your personal
data by us, you have the right to revoke your consent at any
time. The legality of processing your personal data before
revocation remains unaffected. We may further process such
data pursuant to another applicable legal basis, e.g. for the
fulfilment of our legal obligations (cf. section "Legal
bases of processing").
c. Right to object
You have the right to object at
any time to the processing of your personal data pursuant to
Art. 6 para. 1 letter e GDPR (data processing in the public
interest) or Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR (data processing
on the basis of a balance of interests) on grounds relating
to your particular situation. If you object, we will only
process your personal data if we can prove compelling
legitimate reasons that outweigh your interests, rights and
freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of
legal claims.
d. We ask you to address your claims or declarations to the
following contact address if possible:
dialog@daimler.com
e. If you believe that the processing of your personal data
violates legal requirements, you have the right to lodge a
complaint with a competent data protection supervisory
authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
