Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are not secure under data protection law.

We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external organisations. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external organisations. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data based on a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing conducted until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in exceptional cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is conducted based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. the respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction, and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising programme of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an advert placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Storage of "conversion cookies"

The storage of "conversion cookies" and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both its website and its advertising.

You can object to the storage under the conditions mentioned above in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

You can find more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

7. Newsletter

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. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use the newsletter service providers described below to process the newsletter.

Inxmail

This website uses Inxmail to send newsletters. The provider is Inxmail GmbH, Wetzinger Straße 17, 79106 Freiburg (hereinafter referred to as Inxmail).

Inxmail is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is processed on Inxmail's servers.

Data analysis by Inxmail

With the help of Inxmail, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine which links were clicked on particularly often.

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

Inxmail also allows us to subdivide ("cluster") the newsletter recipients according to various categories. Newsletter recipients can be categorised by age, gender, or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better customised to the respective target groups.

If you do not wish to be analysed by Inxmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.

You can find Inxmail's privacy policy at: https://www.inxmail.de/datenschutz

Anonymised tracking

We use anonymised tracking from Inxmail, which only allows us to identify you personally if you have expressly consented to this in advance.

Legal basis

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time for the future.

Storage duration

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a block list if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the block list will only be used for this purpose and will not be 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 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the block list is not limited in time. You can object to the storage under the conditions mentioned above in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the company kultwerk GmbH, Hochmeisterstraße 3, 79104 Freiburg, a website agency. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which guarantees that the agency will only process the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

In this contract, Kultwerk has contractually undertaken to commission subcontractors only under the condition of a contractual agreement in accordance with Art. 28 para. 2-4 GDPR. In application of this provision, Kultwerk has commissioned the newsletter service provider Inxmail as a subcontractor.

8. Plugins and tools

YouTube with extended data protection

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of these websites on which YouTube is integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos that are played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalise surfing on YouTube. Ads that are played in extended data protection mode are also not personalised. No cookies are set in extended data protection mode. Instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which contain personal data similar to cookies and can be used to recognise the user. Details on the extended data protection mode can be found here:

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780

After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is conducted exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can find more information about data protection at YouTube in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

The company is certified in accordance with the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information on this can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant- detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses so-called Google Fonts, which are provided by Google, for the standardised display of fonts. The Google fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers.

Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

Friendly Captcha

We use Friendly Captcha (hereinafter referred to as "Friendly Captcha") on this website. The provider is Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany.

Friendly Captcha is used to check whether data is entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) by a human or by an automated programme (so-called "bots"). For this purpose, Friendly Captcha analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. For the analysis, Friendly Captcha evaluates various information (e.g., anonymised IP address, referrer, visit time, etc.).  

For this purpose, we have integrated a programme code from Friendly Captcha into our website (e.g., for contact forms) so that the visitor's end device can establish a connection to the Friendly Captcha servers to receive a calculation task from Friendly Captcha. The visitor's end device solves the calculation task, which requires certain system resources, and sends the calculation result to our web server. This contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives a response as to whether the puzzle has been solved correctly by the end device.

In addition, the visitor's browser transmits connection data, environmental data, interaction data and functional data to Friendly Captcha. Friendly Captcha analyses this data and determines how likely it is that it is a human user or bot and sends the result to the service user. Depending on the result, we can assign security rules to requests via our website and, for example, process or reject them.

Friendly Captcha does not set or read any cookies on the visitor's end device. IP addresses are only stored in hashed (one-way encrypted) form and do not allow us or Friendly Captcha to draw any conclusions about an individual person.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in protecting our website from abusive access by bots, i.e., spam protection and protection against attacks (e.g., mass requests), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can object to the processing under the conditions mentioned above in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

9. Own services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by e-mail, post or via the online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed, and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who participate in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

The data will then be deleted, and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

You can object to the storage under the conditions mentioned above in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the opportunity to be included in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and details from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that you can be contacted in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.

Verantwoordelijk voor gegevensverwerking

U kunt per post contact opnemen met de persoon die bij ons verantwoordelijk is voor gegevensbescherming op bovenstaand adres met de toevoeging ‘verantwoordelijke persoon voor gegevensbescherming’ of per e-mail op: datenschutz(at)cargarantie.com

Doelstellingen en rechtsgrondslagen van gegevensverwerking

Wij verwerken uw persoonlijke gegevens in overeenstemming met de AVG en alle andere wetten die van toepassing zijn.

De door u opgegeven gegevens worden gebruikt voor dealerondersteuning, informatie over verzekerings- of garantieproducten, voorbereiding van marketingmaatregelen in de vorm van een klantenkaart en voor de uitvoering van verzekerings- of garantieovereenkomsten.

We hebben tevens informatie nodig over schade, bijvoorbeeld om te kunnen nagaan of een garantie- of verzekeringsclaim heeft plaatsgevonden en hoe hoog de schade is.

Het is niet mogelijk om dealerovereenkomsten af te sluiten of uit te voeren (bijvoorbeeld een ‘collectieve overeenkomst voor de garantie van motorvoertuigen’ of een ‘CarGarantie beheerscontract in het kader van een dealer eigen garantie’) zonder de verwerking van uw persoonlijke gegevens.

Bovendien hebben wij uw persoonlijke gegevens nodig om verzekeringsspecifieke statistieken op te stellen, bijvoorbeeld voor de ontwikkeling van nieuwe tarieven of om te voldoen aan wettelijke vereisten.

De rechtsgrondslag voor een dergelijke verwerking van persoonsgegevens voor precontractuele en contractuele doeleinden is artikel 6, lid 1 b) van de AVG.

Wij verwerken uw gegevens ook om de rechtmatige belangen van ons of van derden te beschermen (art. 6 lid 1 f) AVG). Dit kan met name nodig zijn:

• om de IT-veiligheid en -exploitatie te waarborgen;
• om onze eigen verzekeringsproducten te promoten;
• om strafbare feiten te voorkomen en te onderzoeken. Wij gebruiken in het bijzonder gegevensanalyses om aanwijzingen te herkennen die zouden kunnen wijzen op verzekeringsfraude.

Daarnaast verwerken wij uw persoonlijke gegevens om te voldoen aan wettelijke verplichtingen, zoals wettelijke vereisten, commerciële en fiscale verplichtingen voor het bewaren van gegevens of onze adviesplicht. In dit geval vormen de wettelijke bepalingen in samenhang met artikel 6, lid 1 c) van de AGV de rechtsgrondslag voor de verwerking.

Indien wij uw persoonsgegevens wensen te verwerken voor een doel dat hierboven niet vermeld staat, zullen wij u hiervan vooraf op de hoogte stellen in het kader van de wettelijke bepalingen.

Categorieën van ontvangers van persoonsgegevens

Herverzekeraars:

De door ons gedragen risico's zijn verzekerd bij speciale verzekeringsmaatschappijen (herverzekeraars). Hiervoor kan het nodig zijn om uw contract en, indien van toepassing, schadegegevens over te dragen aan een herverzekeraar zodat deze zich een eigen beeld kan vormen van het risico of de verzekerde gebeurtenis.

Fabrikant/importeur van het voertuig:

In geval van met voertuigfabrikanten of voertuigimporteurs overeengekomen verzekeringen of verzekeringsprogramma’s, worden uw contract- en, indien van toepassing, schadegegevens, bijvoorbeeld voor het opstellen van statistieken, doorgestuurd naar de voertuigfabrikanten of -importeurs.

Externe dienstverleners:

Om aan onze contractuele en wettelijke verplichtingen te voldoen, maken wij in sommige gevallen gebruik van externe dienstverleners. Een actuele lijst van onze aannemers en dienstverleners met wie wij niet alleen tijdelijke zakelijke relaties hebben, vindt u op onze website www.cargarantie.com/datenschutz.

Overige ontvangers:

Daarnaast kunnen wij uw persoonlijke gegevens doorgeven aan andere ontvangers, zoals overheden, om te voldoen aan wettelijke meldingsverplichtingen (bijvoorbeeld belastingautoriteiten of wetshandhavingsinstanties).

Duur van de gegevensopslag

Wij verwijderen uw persoonlijke gegevens zodra deze niet meer nodig zijn voor bovengenoemde doeleinden. Het kan gebeuren dat persoonsgegevens worden opgeslagen voor de periode gedurende welke een vordering tegen ons bedrijf kan worden ingesteld (wettelijke verjaringstermijn). Bovendien slaan wij uw persoonlijke gegevens op voor zover wij daartoe wettelijk verplicht zijn. Onder andere het Duitse wetboek van koophandel, het belastingwetboek en de wet inzake de bestrijding van het witwassen van geld leggen overeenkomstige bewijsplichten op.

Rechten van de betrokkene

U kunt op bovenstaand adres informatie opvragen over uw persoonlijke gegevens die zijn opgeslagen. U kunt onder bepaalde omstandigheden ook verzoeken om uw gegevens te corrigeren of te verwijderen.

Recht van beroep

U kunt een klacht indienen bij de bovengenoemde verantwoordelijke persoon voor gegevensbescherming of een toezichthoudende autoriteit voor gegevensbescherming.

Gegevensoverdracht naar een derde land

Als we persoonsgegevens doorgeven aan dienstverleners buiten de Europese Economische Ruimte (EER), zal de doorgifte alleen plaatsvinden als de Europese Commissie heeft bevestigd dat het derde land een passend niveau van gegevensbescherming biedt.

Geautomatiseerde individuele beslissingen

Op basis van uw informatie over het verzekerde voorval, de gegevens die voor uw contract zijn opgeslagen en, indien van toepassing, de informatie die wij in dit verband van derden hebben ontvangen, besluiten wij gedeeltelijk automatisch over onze verplichting tot uitkering.
