3. Collection and processing of your personal data (data processing)
Data processing within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") means the following: any operation that is carried out with or without the aid of an automated procedure, as well as any series of activities that are related to personal data, such as collecting, recording, organizing, storing, adapting or changing. But also querying, reading, using, disclosing by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparing or linking, restricting, erasing or destroying (Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR).
3.1 When you visit our website, certain information about the browser and operating system, the date and time of the visit, and the access status are stored. This also includes which functions of the website you have used, how often you have accessed individual content, which file was accessed, and the amount of data transferred. Websites from which you may have accessed our homepage, as well as websites that you access from our site, are also included in the stored content. It is important for security reasons, as well as to prevent and detect attacks on our homepage, to store the IP address and the name of your Internet service provider. We do this for a period of seven days.
3.2 We only save other personal data if you provide it to us and allow it. This applies, for example, to registration, the contact form, a survey, a competition or in the case of a contract. But even in these cases only after you have given your consent and in accordance with the legally applicable legal provisions.
3.3 Your personal data can be deleted at your request (see also 6. Your rights). There is also neither a contractual nor a legal obligation to provide us with your personal data. However, some functions on our website depend on the provision of personal data. If you do not wish to provide us with personal data in this context, certain functions cannot be used or cannot be used in full.
3.4 Place of data processing
Your personal data will be processed exclusively within the European Union.
4. Personal data
We only use personal data that you have made available to us, such as your name, address, date of birth and telephone number, for the purposes for which you have provided us with this data, e.g. to answer your inquiries, to process contracts concluded with you and for technical administration. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if it is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract. For example, the passing on of order data to suppliers will make this necessary. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for billing and processing purposes or if you have previously consented.
The personal data you send us will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. This does not apply in cases where we are required to disclose the data due to mandatory legal regulations, e.g. for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to fulfil the statutory duties of the constitutional protection authorities or to avert danger. This will only happen on the orders of the responsible authorities. You can revoke your consent with effect for the future at any time. The stored personal data will then be deleted if you revoke your consent to storage, if knowledge of this data is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored, or if its storage is not permitted for other legal reasons.
Data will not be transferred to third countries.
4.1. Protection of your personal data
We use SSL encryption on our website when it comes to transmitting confidential or personal content from our users. SSL encryption is activated, for example, when processing payment transactions and when you send us enquiries via our website. Please ensure that SSL encryption is activated on your side for corresponding activities.
The use of SSL encryption is easy to recognize: the display in your browser line changes from http:// to https://. Only send your confidential information when secure, activated SSL encryption is used and contact us if in doubt.
We must point out that data transmission over the Internet cannot be completely protected from access by third parties and may have security gaps. We, Automotive Passion GmbH, hereby object to any commercial use and distribution of your data.
We assume no liability for external links that lead to third-party content, despite careful checking.
The contact details in our imprint will not be used for commercial advertising unless prior written consent has been given.
5. Usage-related data
Access to websites is automatically registered by every web server. When you visit our homepage, our web server temporarily stores each access in a log file (server log files). The following data is recorded and stored until it is automatically deleted:
The processing of this data is important because it enables the use of the website (establishing a connection) and serves system security, the technical administration of the network infrastructure and also the optimization of the Internet offering.
We collect data on every access to the server (so-called server log files). They are used to analyze attacks on our website and for technical error analysis. The following information is recorded:
By default, the log files are automatically deleted every 14 days. This is how our web server is configured. We will temporarily extend the storage time of the log files (manually) or individual IP addresses (manually or automatically) if this is necessary for legitimate security reasons.

You can request personal data that you have given us at any time. You have the right to receive information about the data processed and a copy of your data processed by us.
6.2 Correction and deletion
Personal data that is incorrect or incomplete can be corrected or supplemented. You have the right to request that we correct, supplement or delete the personal data in question. The prerequisite for this is that it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was provided, you have revoked your consent to processing, you have objected to processing or the processing was carried out unlawfully. We will delete your personal data at your request if we do not absolutely need it to fulfill the contract or if we are not legally obliged to retain it.
6.3 Restriction of data processing
We may also process your personal data with restrictions. You have the legal right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data. This applies, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data and for the period necessary for us to verify the accuracy. This also applies if the processing of the personal data is unlawful and you refuse to delete it and request that its use be restricted. If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of storage and processing, you have the right to request that your data be deleted or if you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR.
6.4 Data portability
You can request that we inspect the personal data concerning you that you have made available to us. You also have the right to receive this data in a common, machine-readable format and, if necessary, to transmit it to another controller. This is provided that (a) the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR, and (b) the processing is carried out using automated procedures. Insofar as this is technically feasible, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller.

Inquiries that you send to us via the contact form will be stored with your details from the inquiry form and the contact details you provided there in order to be processed and in the event that follow-up questions need to be answered.
We will use the data for the purposes stated in the consent and store it in accordance with the statutory retention period. Further use of the data from the contact form will only be used anonymously for statistical purposes (e.g. number of enquiries, success rate of enquiries, etc.).
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. lIt a GDPR). Internally, your data will be processed by the responsible contact person in order to forward your request. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your permission.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. If your request does not result in any obligation to retain data (such as an order), the data will be deleted after three years.
Connection data is usually deleted after seven days. If the homepage has been misused, the log data required for evidential purposes will be retained until the incident has been resolved.
8. Data protection for applications and in the application process
In order to process applicants' personal data and to handle the application process, the person responsible for data processing collects and processes this data. This data is collected exclusively for this purpose. Processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to the person responsible for processing electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If an employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship and, of course, only in compliance with the statutory provisions.
If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted within 6 months of notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with deletion.
Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

According to the ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), operators of a Facebook page are jointly responsible with Facebook for the processing of personal data. Facebook processes personal data for the following purposes:
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook records your IP address and other information stored on your PC in the form of cookies.

12.2 Twitter
Our website contains plug-ins from Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter"). For this purpose, we use Twitter buttons with which our Twitter account can be accessed, as well as Twitter share buttons with which content from our website can be shared via your Twitter account. We also use a Twitter widget with which we integrate the timeline of our most recent tweets into our website and make it visible.
When you visit our website, your browser establishes a direct connection to a Twitter server and the content of the plug-in is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the website. Certain data is automatically transferred to Twitter in the USA and stored there. The data includes connection data (your IP address, date and time, the URL accessed), the browser type and the operating system.
If you are logged into Twitter with the plug-ins mentioned when you visit our website, your account information will be transferred to Twitter, which will enable Twitter to identify you directly via your profile and associate it with your visit to our site. If you click a button, further data will be transferred to Twitter and saved to your profile.
Twitter's privacy policy at https://twitter.com/privacy contains information about the type, scope and purpose of data processing by Twitter.
If you want to prevent Twitter from receiving the above data in the future and assigning it to your Twitter profile, you must log out of Twitter before visiting our website.
12.3 Google
Our web pages contain plug-ins from the social network Google , operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). For this purpose, we use the “g ” button to share content and as a link to our Google profile. We have also integrated a Google box (badge) from our Google profile into the website, which allows you to communicate with us directly via Google or to follow us there; either via the “Follow” button or as a link to our Google profile.
When you visit one of our pages that contains such plug-ins, your browser establishes a direct connection to a Google server. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the website. Data is automatically transferred to Google in the USA and stored on their servers there. This transmitted data includes connection data (such as your IP address, date and time, the URL accessed) as well as the browser and operating system used. Your visit to our pages can therefore be tracked by Google, even if you do not actively use the plug-in functions.
If you are logged in to your Google account while visiting our website, Google can directly associate your visit to our website with your user account. If you want to prevent this direct association, you must log out of Google before visiting our website.
Information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the transmitted data through the use of Google plug-ins can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/). This also contains information and links to your rights and the settings options for protecting your privacy.

The "XING Share Button" is integrated into our website, which allows you to share content from our website with your XING contacts via a link. XING buttons are also integrated, which contain a link to our XING profile.

We use the integrated Instagram buttons to enable a link to our Instagram profile. A widget is also integrated that allows us to display certain photos and videos from our Instagram profile on our website.
If you visit one of our pages that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to an Instagram server. The contents of the plug-in are transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the website. Data is automatically transferred to Instagram and stored on its servers. This transmitted data includes connection data (such as your IP address, date and time, the URL accessed) as well as the browser and operating system used. Your visit to our pages can therefore be tracked by Instagram, even if you do not actively use the plug-in functions.
If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking on the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to assign your visit to our pages to your user account. If you want to prevent this direct assignment, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

We use YouTube in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Normally, when you visit a page with embedded videos, your IP address is sent to YouTube and cookies are installed on your computer. However, we have embedded our YouTube videos using the extended data protection mode. In this case, YouTube still contacts the Google service, but according to Google's privacy policy, no personal data is evaluated. Accordingly, cookies to record usage behavior are only set when the video is played. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
We have no knowledge of, and no influence over, the possible collection and use of your data by YouTube. Further information can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Our web pages contain plug-ins from the social network LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”). We use the “in” button to share content and to link to our LinkedIn profile.
LinkedIn collects information that our corresponding pages have been loaded with the LinkedIn plug-ins in your web browser. LinkedIn also automatically receives the URL of the website you came from or the page you are redirected to. LinkedIn also receives the IP address of your computer or the proxy server you use to access the Internet, as well as information about your computer's operating system and the web browser you use, your mobile device (including the mobile device identifier available through your mobile device's operating system), your mobile device's operating system (if you access LinkedIn via a mobile device), and the name of your Internet service provider or mobile network provider.

Using this function, the provider can target website visitors with advertising by displaying personalized, interest-based advertising for visitors to the provider’s website when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network. Google uses so-called cookies to carry out the analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertisements. For this purpose, Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the browsers of website visitors. This number is used to record visits to the website and anonymized data about website usage. No personal data of website visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account previously viewed product and information areas. You can permanently disable the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

The information obtained through the cookies is transferred to a Google server. These servers are usually located in the USA. However, they follow agreements on the use of the European Economic Area and shorten your IP address before transmission to the United States. In exceptional cases, the IP address is only shortened after transmission to the USA. Google evaluates the transmitted information and provides other services for us as website operators in this context.
The determined IP address will not be merged with other Google services.

13.3 Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, as part of Google AdWords, conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.
If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no way that cookies can be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. This tells customers the total number of users who clicked on their ad 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 preventing the installation of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/, http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

15. Miscellaneous
15.1 Photographs
We process photo and film recordings and, if applicable, first and last names at open events, e.g. campaigns, parties, competitions, etc. The photos are taken during the events, usually by our employees. In some cases, we also hire external photographers, whom we involve in accordance with data protection law and whom we prohibit from using the recordings for their own purposes.
We use the photos and film recordings to report on our events. The pictures of the open events may be published:
The legal basis for the production of overview and group photos of events that do not specifically depict individual people in portrait shots or children is our legitimate interest in reporting on our activities in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The legal basis for the publication of the photos and films is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Sections 22 and 23 of the German Copyright Act (KunstUrhG). We will only publish photos and films of you without your consent if this is in our overriding legitimate interest in documenting and reporting on our activities, which is the case with recordings in which individual people are only "accessories" or we publish overviews or group photos of the events in which you have participated.
Your data will be reviewed internally by the relevant departments for the aforementioned purposes. If we have used the services of external photographers, we will receive the photo files from them.
Our data processing takes place in Germany and in the EU; the data is not transferred to a third country or an international organization.
The photo and, if applicable, film data and personal data will be stored indefinitely, as this is the only way we can achieve permanent documentation of our activities, also in historical interest.
There is no obligation to provide your data, i.e. you do not have to let us photograph and/or film you and you do not have to tell us your first and last name. If you do not want to be photographed, please let the photographer know immediately.
