For this reason, compliance with the strict legal provisions on data protection is a matter of course for us. Data protection begins with transparency.

III. Legal basis for the processing

Personal data is only collected, processed, and used by us if you have given your consent or if we are legally permitted to do so.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

IV. Recipient of the data

As a matter of principle, we only process personal data if we have your consent or a legal permission to do so. This also applies to the transfer of data to third parties. We do not pass on your personal data to third parties for direct marketing purposes.

Your data will be processed and used within the EU/EEA. However, for certain processes, processing outside the EU/EEA is also necessary. If your data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we will take all necessary measures to ensure that the processing complies with data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 44 GDPR. We may share your personal information with the following recipients in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations:

  • to third parties who assist us in operating the website
  • within the MANN+HUMMEL Group
  • within the framework of a valid legal procedure

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from theft, other loss, misuse, and any unauthorized access during processing.

Rights of data subjects 
If your personal data is processed, you are the data subject within the meaning of the GDPR. Your rights are regulated in Chapter III of the GDPR.

Right of appeal to the supervisory authority
Irrespective of any other regulatory or judicial redress, you have the right  to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state where you are a resident, where your workplace is, or where the presumed infringement has taken place when you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint is filed, advises the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint including the possibility of legal action acc. to Art. 78 GDPR.

Under Art. 77 GDPR, you are free to choose the supervisory authority. For example, you can address your complaint to the supervisory authority of the state of Baden-Württemberg which is responsible for MANN+HUMMEL GmbH.
