2. SUBJECT MATTER

The subject matter of this Privacy Policy is personal data.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

Other than described in the sections below, no personal data will be collected, processed, or used during the visit of our website. When you visit our website, our web servers will automatically capture general information. This includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of the internet service provider, IP address of the computer used, the referring website, the pages of our website that you visit and the date and duration of your visit.

We cannot use this data to identify individual users. We will only analyze this information for statistical purposes and for improving the attractiveness, contents, and functionality of our website.

3. LEGAL BASIS OF DATA PROCESSING

In the event we obtain a consent from a data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6, par. 1, lit. a of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the legal basis for processing your personal data.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for performing an agreement to which the data subject is a party this is governed by Art. 6, par. 1, lit. b of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This shall also apply to processing steps that are required to carry out tasks prior to the conclusion of an agreement.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for meeting a statutory obligation to which our company is bound, Art. 6, par. 1, lit. c of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the legal basis.

In the event processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Art. 6, par. 1, lit. d of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the legal basis for processing your personal data.

If data processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the legal basis for processing your personal data.

The passing on of your personal data within the Porsche Group for the purpose of responding to and forwarding inquiries is also subject to these statutory provisions.

4. DELETION OF DATA AND STORAGE PERIOD

Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Data may be stored beyond this period, if provided by EU regulations, national law, or other rules and regulations adopted by the EU or national legislators by which the controller is bound. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period set forth in any of the indicated rules and regulations expires unless the further storage of data is required for the conclusion of a contract or contract performance.

5. COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data will only be collected if you provide it upon your own request, e.g., as a participant of a survey or when registering for personalized services. In these cases, you will be notified of the intended storage purpose and, if necessary, asked to grant your consent to data storage.

Personal data collected in connection with our website will only be used for filling orders or processing your inquiries unless you grant your consent to other forms of processing.

5.5. TELEPHONE CONTACT

In the event that we initially contact you by phone, we have generated your data from public sources. Our interest in the initial telephone contact overrides the interest of the data subject, since we exclusively contact B2B customers via contact channels available from public sources and the contact refers to specific processes in connection with the business activity of the person concerned. During this initial phone call, we will merely inquire whether this particular person is interested in establishing a contact with MHP and do not comprehensively present our services.

5.6. PROVISION OF WEBSITE AND GENERATION OF LOGFILES

During each visit of our web pages, our system will automatically collect data and information from the retrieving computer system. The following information will be collected:

Information on the browser type and the version used

User’s operating system

User’s internet service provider (ISP)

IP address of user

date and time of access

Websites from which user’s system is referred to our website

Websites that the user’s system calls up through our website

This information will also be stored in the logfiles of our system. This information will not be stored together with other personal data of the user.

The temporary storing of data and logfiles is governed by Art. 6, par 1, lit. f of the GDPR.

The IP address needs to be temporarily stored by the system in order to allow the delivery of the website to the user’s computer. To this end, the IP address of the user needs to be stored during the entire session.

This information will be stored in logfiles in order to ensure the operability of the website. In addition, this data helps us to optimize our website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. This information will not be analyzed for marketing purposes. We have a legitimate interest in data processing for these purposes pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, lit. f of the GDPR.

Data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for attaining the purpose for which it was collected. With regard to the collection of data for the purpose of making the website available this is the case when the session concerned is over.

In the event data is stored in logfiles, data will be deleted no later than within seven (7) days. It is possible to store data for a longer period. In this case, the IP addresses of the users will be deleted or pseudonymized so that the retrieving software client may no longer be assigned to an individual.

6. WEBSITE OPTIMIZATION TOOLS

With regard to the collection of personal data using website optimization tools we refer to our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, lit f. GDPR in connection with recital no. 47. In accordance herewith, direct marketing purposes usually constitute a legitimate interest. Your interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms do not override our interest in advertising since we comprehensively inform you in our Privacy Policy about the data collection and you have the possibility of opting-out (via link or browser settings) at any time. In addition, we only use pseudonymized tracking.

6.1. COOKIES

Our website uses both session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are stored on the web browser of a user until the browser window is closed and, thus, the session cookies are deleted. Permanent cookies are used for return visits and will be stored in the user’s browser for a certain period (usually one (1) year or longer). These cookies are not deleted when the browser software is closed. This type of cookies will be used to reuse the user’s preferences once they return to our web page.

We use cookies on our website that allow us to analyze the user’s surfing behavior. This way, the following data can be transmitted:

Search terms entered

Frequency of page views

Use of website features

User data collected this way may be pseudonymized by design. This means, data may not be linked with the viewing user. This type of data will not be stored together with other personal data of the users. When viewing our website, a banner cookie will inform users on the use of cookies for analytical purposes and reference to the Privacy Policy will be made. In this regard, we will also provide information on how to prevent the storage of cookies through browser settings.

When viewing our website, the user will be informed about the use of cookies for analytical purposes.

Of course, you may also view our website without allowing cookies. If you do not wish cookies to be stored on your computer, you may disable the corresponding option in the system settings of your browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of your browser any time. For further details please refer to the user manual provided by the producer of your browser software. Please note, however, that our web presence may not be fully available without the use of cookies.

6.2. MATOMO

This website uses the web analysis tool Matomo. Matomo uses so-called "cookies" (see point 6.1) to compile reports on website activities and to evaluate your use of the website. The aim is to be able to optimize the internet presence further.

To be able to evaluate the usage behaviour, the information about the usage received by the "cookie" is transferred to our servers and stored for usage analysis purposes. Your IP address is anonymized immediately after processing, which means that you, as a user, remain anonymous. The information generated by the "cookie" about the use of the website is not passed on to third parties.

7. DATA TRANSMISSION

Data transmission to other group companies

Generally, your data will not be transmitted to third parties outside MHP, unless this is a mandatory statutory duty or if this data transmission is required for performing the contract or if you have granted your express prior consent. External service providers and partner companies will only receive your data to the extent necessary to process your inquiry. However, in these events, the scope of data transmitted will be restricted to the necessary minimum amount of data. To the extent that our service providers have access to your personal data, we shall ensure that these will comply with the data protection law, rules, and regulations in the same manner. Please note the corresponding privacy policies of these service providers. The corresponding service provider is responsible for the contents of third-party services, provided, however, that we will monitor the services for their compliance with statutory provisions to the extent reasonable.

Data transmission to external service providers (processors)

Your data will be forwarded to service providers that perform services on our behalf and assist MHP in the provision of its services.

If your personal data is processed by commissioned service providers, these activities will be carried out within the scope of data processing pursuant to Art. 28 of the GDPR. The service providers referred to above will only be granted access to such personal data that is needed for performing the corresponding tasks. These service providers are not allowed to pass on your personal data or to use it for any other purpose, in particular, for their own advertising or marketing purposes.

To the extent that external service providers have access to your personal data, we have ensured by legal measures, privacy by default and by design, and through regular reviews and inspections that they will comply with the applicable data protection laws, rules, and regulations.

Your personal data will not be transmitted to other companies for commercial purposes.
