2.2 Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory information

3.1 Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:

Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co. KG

Leuschnerstraße 1

70174 Stuttgart

Germany

Phone: +49(0) 711-182-0

E-mail: info@motorpresse.de

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

3.2 Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

3.3 Designation of a data protection officer

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company.

Motor Presse Stuttgart GmbH & Co.KG

Leuschnerstraße 1

70174 Stuttgart

Germany

Phone: Tel.: 0711-182-0

E-mail: motorpresse@datenschutzanfrage.de

3.4 Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

3.5 Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

3.6 Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

3.7 Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

3.8 Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

3.9 Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

3.10 Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.

If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.

If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

3.11 SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Recording of data on this website

4.1 Cookies and Ad-tracking

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.

In some cases, it is possible that third-party cookies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third- party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to take advantage of certain services offered by the third party (e.g., cookies for the processing of payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of the cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or of promotional manner.

We make particularly essential use of cookies in the context of measuring reach and usage, such as the number of page visits and page impressions of our websites, without which we would not be able to optimise our offerings in a meaningful way.

We also use cookies to finance our sophisticated journalistic offerings through advertising with your consent. The advertising use of cookies includes advertising tracking and user profiling by selected technology providers (hereinafter referred to as "vendors"). For example, data such as IP address, browser information and further data on your user behaviour on our pages are collected. In this way, we ensure that advertising is displayed and optimised in line with your needs and interests. For advertising tracking, we store and use cookies, device identifiers and similar tracking technologies on your end devices with your consent.

A detailed overview of the vendors and cookies is available in the Privacy Manager (see section "Sourcepoint" and "Privacy Manager" below). The legal basis for such data processing with your consent is Section 15 (3) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) in conjunction with Art. 5 (3) sentence 1 of the Data Protection Directive for Electronic Communications.

Privacy Policy for Electronic Communications. You can revoke your consent to advertising tracking at any time in your Privacy Manager.

You can access the Privacy Manager via the "Privacy Manager" link from every sub-page of the website.

We cooperate with Ströer Digital Media GmbH for advertising marketing. For certain processing operations, we are jointly responsible with Ströer and the partners used (hereinafter "vendors") and, where applicable, the advertisers who play (have played) advertisements on our website (so-called joint responsibility). The contact details of the respective Vendors can be found in our Privacy Manager, which you can access via the "Privacy Manager" link from every sub-page of the website.

The operations for which we are jointly responsible include the following:

- Collection of your data on the website using cookies and other technologies by us and our vendors;

- Transmission of your data (pseudonymous cookie ID, IP address) within an anonymous environment (so-called cookie matching process),

- Auction of advertising space;

- Purchase of advertising space;

- Playing out advertisements on the website.

For more information on data processing under joint responsibility by the other vendors, please refer to their privacy notices, which you can access from our Privacy Manager.

4.1.1 Purposes of processing in relation to cookies

Below you will find information on the purposes for which we or our vendors use cookies and the legal bases on which the processing is based.

4.1.2 Processing purposes in our legitimate interest:

The following processing purposes are based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO:

- Select simple ads

- Measure ad performance

- Content ad performance

- Use market research to gain insights into target groups

- Develop and improve products

We need the applications related to the above purposes in order to play simple, non-personalised advertising offers and to sell advertising space to our advertisers by providing them with statistical information and analysis on how often the ads have been displayed and how often the ad has been clicked on.

For data processing on the legal basis of legitimate interests, we have satisfied ourselves in advance that this processing does not conflict with any overriding interests of the users. If the balancing of interests carried out in individual cases leads to a different result, it is possible that even a purpose that is fundamentally in the legitimate interest may require consent in the respective individual case and in relation to the respective vendor used. For this reason, the table may show a requirement for consent on the one hand and an existing legitimate interest on the other hand for initially identical purposes.

Vendors for which consent is obtained for the above purposes will therefore no longer appear in the list of vendors in legitimate interest for the relevant purpose.

4.2 Data processing abroad:

As data controllers, we process your data ourselves exclusively within the European Union ("EU"). However, data processed with or by our vendors may be processed both within and outside the EU and the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Please note: If your data is transferred from your home country to another country, the laws protecting your data there may differ from those in your country (and may only provide a lower level of protection). For example, countries outside the EEA in particular have different conditions under which law enforcement authorities can access your data than those within the EEA. If we transfer your data to a country outside the EEA, we will take appropriate measures (if necessary together with the other data controllers participating in the joint data processing) to ensure an adequate level of data protection, for example by concluding so-called standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 DSGVO) and other measures or by obtaining your explicit consent (Art. 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Information on vendors/partners who process data in third countries can be found in the Privacy Manager under the menu item "Our partners".

4.3 Duration of data storage

We will not store your data for longer than is necessary to fulfil the respective purpose for which it was collected, unless there is a legal basis for processing it beyond this (e.g. also due to commercial or tax law retention obligations). We will then delete your data. The respective retention periods depend on the underlying purpose and the type of personal data.

The duration of the cookies set by our vendors (cookie duration) can usually be found in the data protection declarations of these partners, which are linked to in the Privacy Manager. To exercise your rights as a data subject, you can either contact us directly. (our contact details can be found in section 3.1 "Responsible party") or contact the vendors named in the Privacy Manager.

4.4 Consent Management Platform

In order to implement the GDPR guidelines and to protect your personal data, we use a so-called Consent Management Platform (hereinafter referred to as "Privacy Manager") in order to store the consent given and to be able to use it for the subsequent processing procedures. The provider of the Privacy Manager provides us with an operating platform with which you can make, revoke and control settings. The information processed here is transmitted to our vendors and partners using certain recognition signals. For the operation and processing of given consents or revocations, it is technically necessary for Sourcepoint to set a cookie on your end device. The CMP is displayed on our websites and in our apps and can be accessed via the footer of the website.

4.4.1 Sourcepoint

This website uses the Privacy Manager of Sourcepoint (Sourcepoint Technologies, Inc. 228 Park Avenue South, #87903 New York, NY 100003-1502, United States) to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your terminal device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. Sourcepoint sets a technically required cookie to query which consents have been granted in order to be able to play out content. Sourcepoint also measures the functionality of the consent request as part of a usage analysis. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f DSGVO).

The Privacy Manager is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Sourcepoint pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO. As this involves the transfer of data to a third country, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with Sourcepoint in order to ensure that the processing of personal data complies with data protection regulations, in particular the EU GDPR.

You can access Sourcepoint's privacy policy here https://www.sourcepoint.com/privacy-policy.

4.4.2 Privacy Manager

In the following, we would like to give you further information about our Privacy Manager and the data to be processed.

With the Privacy Manager, we offer you the opportunity to decide in detail in which cases you consent to tracking via cookies and other technologies - for the purpose of displaying content relevant to you and advertising tailored to you.

When displaying advertising on our websites, various tracking technologies may be set by providers, as described above in the section "Cookies". In order to provide the highest level of transparency for you as a user, the providers used in the marketing of this website, hereinafter also referred to as "vendors", participate in the Transparency & Consent Framework ("TCF") of IAB Europe and submit to its specifications and guidelines. We use the Privacy Manger from Sourcepoint for this purpose. Within the framework of the TCF, Sourcepoint is listed under the identification number 6.

The Transparency Consent Framework is a system developed for the European advertising industry to use data processing in a privacy compliant way. You can find out more about the TCF on the IAB Europe website: https://iabeurope.eu/.

The Privacy Manager contains detailed overviews of which advertising partners process data for which purposes, and in particular which advertising partners create user profiles on the basis of the data collected. You can access the Privacy Manager via the "Privacy Manager" link of the same name from every sub-page of the website.

The processing of your data for the above-mentioned purposes is partly based on legitimate interest (legal basis Art. 6 para. lit.f DSGVO), partly we also require your consent for this (legal basis Art. 6 para.1 lit.a. Art. 7 DSGVO).

4.4.3 Notes on making settings in the Privacy Manager

When you access one of our websites, you will be prompted via our Privacy Manager to make your individual settings for the use of cookies. To do this, you must click on the "Settings" button. Applications requiring your consent are not activated and are marked with a red coloured slider. You can now use the computer mouse to move the slider and give individual consents. The slider then turns "green" as a sign of your consent. If you simply click on "Save and close settings" at the bottom, these application purposes will not remain activated.

For applications that we consider to be in our legitimate interest, the slider is preset to consent and therefore coloured green, because we do not require your consent for applications that are in our legitimate interest. However, you still have the option to opt out of using these applications as well. To do this, you must set these applications to red by pressing the slider before you click on "save and close".

We will store the settings for 90 days. Once this period has expired, you will be asked again to give your consent via the Privacy Manager. Before the end of this period, you may be asked again if changes have been made in the Privacy Manager. However, you also have the option of revoking your consent (opt-in) or refusal (opt-out) at any time. However, if you would like to change your settings in the meantime, you can use these links to call up the Privacy Manager of the website to be selected again: You can reach the Privacy Manager via the "Privacy Manager" link from any sub-page of the website. Alternatively, you can readjust your settings by deleting your browser cookies. The Privacy Manager will then be displayed again.

4.5 Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

- Browser type and browser version Operating system used Referrer URL

- Host name of the accessing computer Time of the server request

- IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website - for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

4.6 Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.

4.7 Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

4.8 Registration on this website

You have the option to register on this website to be able to use additional website functions. We shall use the data you enter only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service you have registered for. The required information we request at the time of registration must be entered in full. Otherwise, we shall reject the registration.

6.1 Data processing by LinkedIn Insight tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight tag to obtain information about visitors to our website. Once a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze the key occupational data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, job title) of our website visitors to help us better target our site to the relevant audience. We can also use LinkedIn Insight tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or perform other actions (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also features a retargeting function that allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website. According to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.

LinkedIn itself also collects log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data will then be deleted within 180 days.

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned by us as a website operator to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own promotional activities. For details, please see LinkedIn’s privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

7. Newsletter

7.1 Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. For the handling of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.

7.2 Mailjet

This website uses Mailjet for sending newsletters. The provider is Mailgun Technologies Inc., 112 E Pecan Sr. #1135, San Antonio, Texas 78205, USA.

Mailjet is a service with which, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data entered by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on the servers of Mailjet.

7.3 Data analysis by Mailjet

With the aid of Mailjet we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see if a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. In this way, we can determine which links have been clicked particularly often.

We can also see whether certain previously defined actions were performed after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can tell if you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Mailjet also allows us to classify newsletter recipients into different categories (“clusters”). For example, the newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to age, gender, or place of residence. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups. If you do not want Mailjet to analyze you, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

7.4 Legal Basis

Data processing is based on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this agreement at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data transfer to the US is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.mailjet.de/av-vertrag/

7.5 Storage period

The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

7.6 Data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
