3.1       Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “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.

 

3.2       Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller for the processing.

 

3.3       Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

 

3.4       Restriction of processing

Restricting of the processing is the marking of personal data as stored with the objective of restricting its processing in the future. 

 

3.5       Profiling

Profiling is each type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.

 

3.6       Pseudonymization 

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, in so far as this additional information is kept in a special way and subjected to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person. 

 

3.7       Controller or party responsible for the processing

Controller or party responsible for the processing (hereafter controller) is the natural person or legal entity, authority, institution or other post, which alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of the processing are laid down in European Union legislation or the legislation of the member states, then the controller or the particular criteria of the appointment of this controller in accordance with European Union legislation or the legislation of the member states can be provided. 

 

3.8       Processor

Processor is a natural person or legal entity, authority, institution or other post, which processes the personal data on the instructions of the controller. 

 

3.9       Recipient

Recipient is a natural person or legal entity, authority, institution or other post to which personal data are disclosed regardless of whether this is a third party or not. However, authorities, which receive within the framework of a particular
investigation order in accordance with European Union legislation or the legislation of the member states data which possibly may be/contain personal data, do not hold good as recipients.  

 

3.10     Third party

Third party is a natural person or legal entity, authority, institution or other post with the exception of the data subject, the controller, the order processor and those persons which are authorized under the direct responsibility of the controller or of the order processor to process the personal data.

 

3.11     Consent

Consent is each declaration of will given voluntarily by the data subject for the definite case in an informed and unambiguous manner in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous confirmatory action, with which the data subject makes clear that he/she agrees to the processing of personal data relating to himself/herself. 

4.1       General information on the legal basis 

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.  

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that 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. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.  

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as a legal basis in the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data.  

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

 

4.2       General information on data erasure
and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be stored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.  

 

4.3       General information on processing on
our website 
      

Data protection, data security and secrecy protection have high priority for ZF Micro Mobility GmbH. The permanent protection of your personal data, your company data and your trade secrets is particularly important to us.  

In principle, you can visit our website without providing any personal information. However, if you make use of the services of our company via our website, this requires the disclosure of your personal data. In general, we use the data communicated by you and collected by the website and the data stored during use exclusively for our own purposes, namely for the implementation and provision of our website and for the initiation, implementation and processing of the services offered via the website (contract
performance) and do not pass these on to outside third parties, unless there is
an officially ordered obligation to do so. In all other cases, we will obtain your separate consent. 
 

Your personal data will be processed in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us. By means of this data protection note, we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data processed by us. In addition, we will inform you of your rights by means of this data protection notice.  

The ZF Micro Mobility GmbH has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure adequate protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. 

The website of ZF Micro Mobility GmbH collects a range of general data and information each time the website is called by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Able to be collected are: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website, from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites, which are steered to on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet-protocol-address (IP-address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information, which serve the warding off of hazards in the case of attacks to our IT systems. 

In using this general data and information ZF Micro Mobility GmbH draws no conclusions about the data subject. Much more is this information needed (1) to be able to deliver out the content of our website correctly, (2) to permit the optimization of the content of our website and of the advertising for this, (3) to ensure the durable functionality of our IT systems and of the technology of our website and (4) to be able to make available to the law enforcement authorities the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the case of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is evaluated ZF Micro Mobility GmbH on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the objective of increasing the data protection and the data security in our company in order finally to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by ourselves. The anonymous data of the server-logfiles are stored separately from all the personal data stated by a data subject. 

Legal basis 

Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR 

(legitimate
interest) 

Storage purpose  

The temporary storing of the IP-address by the
system is necessary to permit the delivery of the website to the computer of
the user. For this the IP-address of the user must remain stored for the
duration of the session. 

Storage duration 

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving
the purpose of their collection. This is the case when the particular session
has ended in situations where the data is collected for making the website available.  

This is the case at the latest seven days after the
time when the data was stored in log files. More extensive storing is
possible. In this case the IP-addresses of the users are deleted or distorted
so that an assignment of the client calling in is no longer possible. 

Objection /
opportunity for elimination 
 

None, because the data is essential for operating of the
website  

 

It is possible to contact us via the provided e-mail address, fax or telephone number. If you contact us via one of these options, your personal data transmitted to us will be stored automatically (e-mail, fax) or recorded by us and stored manually.

In this connection no data is passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for the processing of the conversation and will immediately be deleted if it is no longer needed. 

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of progressing the application process. The processing can also be carried out electronically. This is in particular the case when an applicant sends to us relevant application documents by an electronic route, e.g. per e-mail. If we conclude a contract of employment with yourself as applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for purposes of progressing the employment relationship subject to observation of the legal regulations. If a contract of employment is not concluded by the party responsible for the processing with
the applicant, then the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection in so far as there is no other legitimate interest of the party responsible for the processing against deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, an obligation of proof in a process in accordance with the German General Equal Treatment Act. 

Legal basis 

Legal basis for the processing of the data is as a rule Article 6 Para. 1
lit. b. GDPR with job applications submitted via the contact form and/or
e-mail.  

(fulfilment of the employment contract; measures prior to the concluding
of an employment contract);  

Article 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR (Fulfilment of a legal obligation, e.g.
answering of questions in connection with the job-application process)
and  

apart from this Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR  

(legitimate interest) and  

special legal authorization rules such as a collective agreement, company
agreement, income tax law etc. A supplementary reference is made to the
Personnel / HR processing file.  

Storage
purpose 
 

If we conclude an employment contract with you as job applicant, the data
transmitted for the purpose of progressing the employment relationship will
be stored whereby the legal obligations will be observed.  

Storage duration 

If no employment contract is concluded between the party responsible for
the processing and the job applicant, then the job-application documents will
be automatically deleted six months after the notification of rejection has
been sent in so far as no other legitimate interest of the party responsible
for the processing conflicts with the deletion.  

A legitimate interest in this connection could be –
for example – a proof obligation in a process in accordance with the German
General Equal Treatment Act).

opportunity for elimination 
 

Only general objection and elimination opportunities.

·       Fundamental

 We, ZF Micro Mobility GmbH, operate our own Facebook fan page at https://www.facebook.com/ZFMicroMobility/. As the operator of this Facebook page, we are the responsible party together with the provider of the Facebook social network (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When visiting our Facebook page, personal data of the page visitors are processed by both controllers.

We have concluded a data protection joint responsibility agreement (Page Controller Addendum) with Meta Platforms Inc. (also referred to as Facebook). With this agreement, Facebook recognizes the joint responsibility with regard to so-called insights data and assumes essential data protection obligations for informing data subjects, for data security or for reporting data protection breaches. The agreement also stipulates that Facebook is the primary contact for the exercise of data subjects’ rights (Art. 15 – 22 GDPR). As the provider of the social network, Facebook alone has direct access to the necessary information and can also take any necessary measures and provide information immediately. However, if our support is required, we can be contacted at any time.

 

·       Use of Insights and Cookies

In connection with the operation of this Facebook fan page, we use the Insights function from Facebook to obtain anonymized statistical data on the users of our Facebook fan page. Information about Insights and Facebook Fanpages is provided by Facebook, for example, via its privacy notice.

In connection with visiting our and other Facebook pages, Facebook also uses cookies and other comparable storage technologies. You can find more information about Facebook’s use of cookies in their cookie policy.

 

·       Comments and messages; participation in competitions

On our Facebook fan page, you also have the opportunity to comment on our posts, rate them and get in touch with us via private messages or participate in competitions.

Legal basis 

We operate this
Facebook page in order to present, interact and communicate with the users of
Facebook as well as other interested persons and our customers who visit our
Facebook page. The processing of the users’ personal data is based on our
legitimate interests, in an optimized company and product presentation (Art.
6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) as well as when participating in competitions or
answering product application questions based on a (pre-)contractual
relationship according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. 

Storage
purpose 
 

The processing of the information generated by Insights is intended to
enable us, as the operator of the Facebook fan page, to obtain statistics
that Facebook compiles based on visits to our Facebook fan page. The purpose
of this is to control the marketing of our activity. For example, it allows
us to gain knowledge of the profiles of visitors who like our Facebook page
or use applications of the page in order to provide them with more relevant
content and develop features that may be of greater interest to them. 

In addition, to help us better understand how our Facebook Page can
better achieve our business goals, demographic and geographic analyses are
also created and provided to us based on the information we collect. We can
use this information to target interest-based ads without directly knowing
the identity of the visitor. If visitors use Facebook on multiple devices,
the collection and analysis can also take place across devices if they are
registered visitors who are logged into their own profiles. 

The visitor statistics created are transmitted to us exclusively in
anonymized form. We have no access to the underlying data. 

Furthermore, we use our Facebook page to communicate
with our customers, interested parties and Facebook users and to inform them
about us and our products. In this context, we may receive further
information, e.g. due to user comments, private messages or because you
follow us or share our content. The processing takes place exclusively for
the purpose of communication and interaction with you. 

Storage duration 

Your data will be deleted when the purpose ceases to
exist, provided there is no obligation to retain it. 

Objection /
opportunity for elimination 
 

Facebook users can influence the extent to which
their user behavior may be recorded when visiting our Facebook page under the
settings for advertising
preferences
. Further options are
offered by the Facebook settings or the form for the right to object. 

 

·       Transfer of data

Since Meta Platforms Inc. is a US company, a transfer of personal data to the USA cannot be conclusively ruled out in the given context. Against this background, we would like to inform you about the circumstances of a data transfer to the USA. As part of its more recent case law, the ECJ declared the previous basis of data transfers to the USA (Privacy Shield) to be invalid in its “Schrems II” ruling. The reason for this was far-reaching and comprehensive access and information authorizations of U.S. authorities with regard to personal data stored on servers of U.S. companies. In principle, the U.S. Patriot Act of 2001 authorizes access to personal data stored on servers of U.S. companies located in the United States. This authority was also extended under the Cloud Act 2018 to include data stored on servers of U.S. companies abroad, including within the European Union. Subsequently, the ECJ requires the integration of so-called EU “standard contractual clauses” in the context of a transfer of personal data in the context of a commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR in order to comply with the requirements of Art. 46 GDPR. We have concluded a joint responsibility agreement with Facebook incorporating the EU standard contractual clauses in order to be able to ensure the integrity and security of your personal data in the context of any transfer of those to the USA. We do not ourselves share any personal data that we receive through our Facebook page.

10.3 Processing by ZF Micro Mobility

We only have access to aggregated page insights, with the help of which we are able to view anonymous statistics (e.g. account reach, likes, etc.). The data contained in the details are anonymized and include evaluations according to gender, age and location of users. Against this background, it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about specific persons. Furthermore, we are able to make settings or filters with regard to the selection of a specific time period, the viewing of a specific post and comparable.

Likewise, we process your personal data when you interact with us via our Instagram page (e.g., “liking”, commenting, posting pictures, etc.). In addition, as part of your interaction with us, we may view your personal data publicly provided in your profile.

We cannot exclude the possibility that your personal data may be transferred to non-EU third countries such as the USA during processing by us using the “Instagram” service as described. We are aware of the associated risks and have taken measures (appropriate safeguards) within the meaning of Article 46 GDPR to ensure the security and integrity of your personal data.

We base the processing of your personal data in the context of the use of “Instagram” on the pursuit of a legitimate interest (provision of information, self-promotion, customer support) pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As a matter of principle, we only store your personal data for as long as it is required to achieve its collection purpose. You have the right to object the described processing of your personal data at any time according to Art. 21 GDPPR.

If the controller has made the personal data relating to you public and if he/she is obliged to delete this data in accordance with Article 17 Para. 1 GDPR, then he/she shall take reasonable measures including ones of a technical nature – whereby account shall be taken of the available technology and the implementation costs – to inform the responsible parties for the data processing which process the personal data that you as data subject have demanded from them the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replicates of these.  

·       Exceptions

The right to deletion does not exist in so far as the processing is necessary for 

(1)     the exercising of the right of free expression of opinion and to information; 

(2)           for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, which requires the processing in accordance with the law of the European Union or the law of the member states, which laws the controller is subject to, or for the carrying out of a task, which lies in the public interest or which is carried out in the exercising of public authority, which authority was transferred to the controller; 

(3)       for reasons of public interest in the field of public health in accordance with Article 9 Para. 2 lit. h and i as well as Article 9 Para. 3 GDPR; 

(4)           for archiving purposes, scientific or historical research purposes lying in the public interest or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 Para. 1 GDPR, in so far as the right named in section a) probably makes the reaching of the objectives of the processing impossible or impairs it seriously, or 

(5)           for the advancing, exercising or defending of legal claims. 

Moreover, the right to deletion does not exist in so far as the personal data has to be stored by the controller in order to fulfill legal duties to preserve records and legal retention periods. In such a case instead of deletion blockage of the personal data applies. 

 

11.6     Right to information

If you have advanced the right to the correcting, deleting or restricting of the processing vis à vis the controller, then the latter is obliged to inform all recipients, to which the personal data relating to you was disclosed, of this correction or deletion of the data or of the restricting of the processing, unless this proves itself to be impossible or linked with unreasonable expenditure.  

You have the right against the controller to be informed about these recipients.

 

11.7     Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data relating to you, which you made available to the controller, in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data was made available, in so far as 

(1)  the processing is based on a consent in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Article 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR and 

(2)   the processing is carried out with the aid of automated processes. 

In exercising this right, you have in addition the right to bring about the situation that the personal data relating to you is transferred directly from one controller to another controller in so far as this is technically possible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be impaired thereby. 

The right to data portability does not hold good for the processing of personal data, which is necessary for the carrying out of a task, which lies in the public interest or in the exercising of public authority and which task was transferred to the controller. 

 

11.8     Right to object

For reasons which result from your particular situation you have the right to advance at any time objection to the processing of the personal data relating to you, which processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f
GDPR; this right also holds good for profiling based on these provisions.  

The controller shall then no longer process the personal data relating to you, unless he/she can demonstrate compelling reasons worthy of protection, which reasons overweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or where the processing serves the advancing, exercising or defending of legal claims. 

If the personal data relating to you is processed for the carrying out of direct advertising, then you have the right to advance at any time objection to the processing of the personal data relating to you for purposes of such advertising; this holds good too for profiling in so far as this is carried out in connection with such direct advertising. 

If you object to the processing for purposes of direct advertising, then the personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for these purposes. 

You have the opportunity – in connection with the use of services of the information company and regardless of directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right of objection with the aid of automated processes in which technical specifications are used. 

 

11.9     Right to withdraw from the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and without giving reasons. In the event of withdrawal, we immediately will delete your personal data and no longer process it. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your given consent and carried out prior to your withdrawal is not affected by your withdrawal. 

 

11.10     Automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling

You have the right to not subject yourself to a decision based solely on an automated processing process – including profiling – which unfolds a legal effect vis à vis yourself or which impairs you significantly in a similar way. This does not hold good if the decision  

(1)  is necessary for the concluding or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller, 

(2)   is permissible on the basis of legal regulations of the European Union or of its member states, which the controller is subject to, and these regulations contain reasonable measures for the maintenance of your rights and freedoms as well as for your legitimate interests or 

(3)   is carried out with your explicit consent. 

However, these decisions may not be based on particular categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9 Para. 1 GDPR, in so far as Article 9 Para. 2 lit. a or g does not hold good and reasonable measures have been taken for the protection of the rights and freedoms as well as of your legitimate interests. 

In respect of the cases named in (1) and (3) above the controller shall take reasonable measures to ensure the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, whereby belonging thereto is at the least the right to the affecting of the intervention of a person on the side of the controller for the representation of the controller’s standpoint and to the challenging of the decision. 

11.11   Right to complain at a supervisory authority  

Regardless of another regulatory or judicial remedy, you are entitled to the right to lodge a complaint at a supervisory authority and here in particular at a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, of your place of work or of the place where the suspected infringement took place when you are of the opinion that the processing of the personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
