Sharing of data

Sharing of data to other responsible parties

As a matter of principle, we will only transfer your personal data to other responsible parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the transfer, or if we have your consent to do so. Details on the legal basis and the recipients or categories of recipients can be found in the section Processing purposes and legal basis. Third parties may also be other companies of the Bosch Group. Where data is transferred to third parties on the basis of a legitimate interest, this is explained in this data protection notice.

In addition, data may be transferred to other data controllers if we are required to do so by law or by enforceable official or court order.

Service providers (general)

We commission external service providers with tasks such as sales and marketing services, programming and data hosting. We have carefully selected these service providers and monitor them regularly, in particular their careful handling and safeguarding of the data stored with them. All service providers are obligated by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with legal requirements. Service providers may also be other companies of the Bosch Group.

Disclosure to recipients outside the EEA

We may also transfer personal data to recipients located outside the EEA in so-called third countries. In this case, we ensure before the transfer that either an adequate level of data protection exists at the recipient or that your consent to the transfer has been obtained.

You can obtain from us an overview of the recipients in third countries and a copy of the specifically agreed regulations to ensure the appropriate level of data protection. Please use the information in the Contact section for this purpose.

Duration of storage, retention periods

We generally store your data for as long as is necessary to provide our online offering and the associated services, or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it (e.g. we may still have a legitimate interest in postal marketing even after a contract has been fulfilled). In all other cases, we delete your personal data with the exception of data that we must continue to store in order to fulfill legal obligations (e.g., we are required to retain documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period of time due to retention periods under tax and commercial law).

We use analysis cookies to record the usage behavior (e.g. advertising banners clicked, sub-pages visited, search queries made) of our users and to evaluate it in statistical form.

Web analysis

We need statistical information about the use of our online offering in order to make it more user-friendly, to measure reach, and to conduct market research.

For this purpose, we use web analysis tools described in this section.

The usage profiles created by these tools with the help of analysis cookies or by evaluating log files are not merged with personal data. The tools either do not use users' IP addresses at all or truncate them immediately after collection.

The providers of the tools process data only as processors in accordance with our instructions and not for their own purposes.

For each tool, you will find information below on the respective provider and on how you can object to the collection and processing of data by the tool.

For tools that work with opt-out cookies, please note that the opt-out function is device- or browser-related and generally only applies to the end device or browser currently in use. If you use multiple end devices or browsers, you must set the opt-out on each individual end device and in each browser used.

In addition, you can also prevent the creation of usage profiles altogether by generally deactivating the use of cookies; see the section Deactivating and deleting cookies.
