1. Data Protection

We appreciate you visiting our website and your interest in the prod-ucts we offer. Protecting your personal data is very important to us. In this Privacy Policy, we explain how we collect your personal infor-mation, what we do with it, for what purposes and on what legal foun-dation we do so, and what rights you have on that basis. We will also refer you to Daimler Truck Data Protection Policy.

Data protection information and the Daimler Truck AG Data Protection Policy do not apply to your activities on the websites of social networks or other providers that you can reach via the links on our websites. Please inform yourself on the websites of these providers about their data protection provisions.

2. Collecting and processing your personal date

a. When you visit our websites, we store your IP address and the name of your Internet service provider for a period of seven days for security reasons, in particular to prevent and detect attacks on our websites or attempts at fraud.

b. In the context of an order for a product on our website, we process first and last names, title, e-mail address, address, IP address and referrer.

c. If you contact us via the contact form, we process the following data voluntarily: First name, last name. You have the choice of which way we may contact you. You have the choice between e-mail and telephone. Depending on which selection you have made, you must enter your data accordingly so that we can contact you.

d. We only store other personal data if you provide us with this data, for example, as part of a registration, a contact form, a chat, a survey, a competition or for the performance of a contract, and even in these cases only to the extent that we are permitted to do so on the basis of consent given by you or in accordance with the applicable legal provisions (for more information, see the section "Legal basis for processing" below).

e. You are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data. However, it is possible that certain functions of our websites depend on the transfer of personal data. If you do not provide personal data in these cases, this may result in functions not being available or only being available to a limited extent.

3. What are the data used for (purpose of processing) and on what basis (legal basis) does this happen?
a. Collection and processing in the context of the initiation or fulfillment of contractual obligations. 

We collect and process your personal data mentioned in section 2 letter b within the framework of the initiation of a contractual relationship and for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations towards you (Article 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO).

b. Processing due to your consent

Insofar as you have given us consent for the processing of your personal data, this constitutes the legal basis for the processing (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DSGVO).

c. Collection and processing in the context of the fulfillment of a legal obligation

As far as the processing of your personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of our legal obligations (e.g. storage for the fulfillment of commercial or tax retention obligations, surrender according to official or judicial order, e.g. to a law enforcement agency), we are authorized to do so according to Art. 6 para. 1 letter c DSGVO.

d. Processing on the basis of a legitimate interest

We process your personal data mentioned in section 2 letter b for the purpose of safeguarding our legitimate interests as well as the legitimate interests of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO. The legally required documentation of business contacts, the protection of our IT systems against attacks and other unlawful acts are also such legitimate interests. We process the personal data mentioned under point 2 letter c for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) letter f DSGVO.

Within the framework of the necessary balancing of interests in each case, we take into account in particular the type of personal data, the purpose of processing, the circumstances of processing and your interest in the confidentiality of your personal data.

e. Processing of other personal data

Insofar as you provide us with further personal data, e.g. as part of a registration, a contact form, a survey, a competition or for the performance of a contract, we use this data for the aforementioned purposes, for customer administration purposes and - insofar as necessary - for the purposes of processing and invoicing any business transactions, in each case to the extent required for this purpose.

4. Transfer of personal data to third parties; social plug-ins; use of service providers

a. Our websites may also contain offers from third parties. If you click on such an offer, we will transfer data to the respective provider to the extent necessary (e.g. the information that you found this offer on our website and, if applicable, further information that you have already provided for this purpose on our websites).

b. If we use so-called "social plug-ins" of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter on our websites, we integrate them as follows:

When you visit our websites, the social plug-ins are deactivated, i.e. no transmission of any data to the operators of these networks takes place. If you wish to use one of the networks, click on the respective social plug-in to establish a direct connection with the server of the respective network. If you have a user account with the network and are logged in there at the moment of activating the social plug-in, the network can assign your visit to our websites to your user account. If you wish to avoid this, please log out of the network before activating the social plug-in. A social network cannot assign a visit to other Daimler websites until you have also activated a social plug-in present there. When you activate a social plug-in, the network transmits the content that becomes available as a result directly to your browser, which integrates it into our web pages. In this situation, data transfers may also take place that are initiated and controlled by the respective social network. Your connection to a social network, the data transfers that take place between the network and your system, and your interactions on this platform are governed exclusively by the privacy policy of the respective network. The social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies.

c. When you click on the link to an offer or activate a social plug-in, personal data may be transferred to providers in countries outside the European Economic Area that, from the perspective of the European Union ("EU"), do not ensure an "adequate level of protection" for the processing of personal data in line with EU standards. Please consider this circumstance before clicking on a link or activating a social plug-in and thereby triggering a transfer of your data.

d. We also use qualified service providers (e.g. IT service providers) to operate, optimize and secure our websites. We only pass on personal data to them insofar as this is necessary for the provision and use of the websites and their functionalities, for the pursuit of legitimate interests, for the fulfillment of legal obligations or insofar as you have consented to this (see below in the section "Legal basis for processing"). List of service providers that receive personal data: Digital Vision GmbH, Shopware AG.

e. We use a qualified service provider to process payments. We only pass on personal data to them in pursuit of legitimate interests or if you have consented to this (see below in the section "Legal basis for processing"). List of service providers that receive personal data: Klarna Bank AB, PayOne GmbH.

5. Security

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect the data we have under our control against manipulation, loss, destruction and against access by unauthorized persons. We continuously improve our security measures in line with technological developments.

6. Deleting your personal data

We delete your IP address and the name of your Internet service provider, which we only store for security reasons, after seven days. Otherwise, we delete your personal data as soon as the purpose for which we collected and processed the data no longer applies. Beyond this point in time, storage only takes place insofar as this is required in accordance with the laws, regulations or other legal provisions to which we are subject, in the EU or in accordance with legal provisions in third countries, if an appropriate level of data protection is provided there in each case. Insofar as deletion is not possible in individual cases, the relevant personal data will be marked with the aim of restricting its future processing.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

a. As a data subject, you have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), data erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and 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 lawfulness of the processing of your personal data until a revocation is not affected by the revocation. Likewise, further processing of this data on the basis of another legal basis, such as for the fulfillment of legal obligations, remains unaffected (see section "Legal bases of processing").

c. Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests). If you object, we will only continue to process your personal data insofar as we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for doing so that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or insofar as the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing to protect legitimate interests on the basis of a balance of interests, you also have the right to object to this at any time without stating reasons.

d. If possible, please send your claims or declarations to the following contact address: contact@daimlertruck.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).

8. Central access service of Daimler Truck AG

You can use the Daimler Truck AG central access service to log on to all websites and applications of the Daimler Truck Group and its brands which are connected to this service. The applicable terms of use contain special data protection regulations. You can access these terms of use on the respective login pages of the connected websites and applications.

9. Data transfer to recipients outside the European Economic Area

a. When using service providers (see section "Use of service providers"), personal data may be transferred to recipients in countries outside the European Union ("EU"), Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (= European Economic Area) and processed there.

b. The following countries provide an adequate level of protection for the processing of personal data in accordance with EU standards (so-called adequacy decision): Andorra, Argentina, Canada (limited), Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, United Kingdom. With recipients in other countries, we agree to apply EU standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or other permissible mechanisms to provide an appropriate level of protection in accordance with legal requirements. We will be happy to provide you with information on this via the contact details listed in the section "Data subject rights".
