We appreciate your visit to our website and your interest in our company and our products.
The protection of your privacy during the processing of personal data, as well as the security of all business data, are very important to us. Our business processes take this into consideration.
General information
Categories of personal data processed
The following categories of personal data are processed:
Contact information (mailing address, phone number, e-mail address, cell phone number), web tracking data, identity information (name, gender, date of birth, academic title), user profile data.
Duration of storage; retention periods
As a general rule, we retain your data for as long as is necessary for the provision of our services, or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it (for example, we may still have a legitimate interest in direct mail marketing even after a contract has been fulfilled). After that, we will delete your personal data, with the exception of data that we are required to retain in order to comply with legal obligations (for example, due to retention periods under tax and commercial law, we are required to retain documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period of time).
Transfer of data to other data controllers
As a general rule, we will transfer your personal data to other data controllers only if this is necessary to fulfill the contract, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the transfer, or if we have obtained your consent to do so.
For details on the legal bases and the recipients or categories of recipients, please refer to the section titled “Processing purposes and legal bases.”
In addition, data may be transferred to other data controllers to the extent that we are required to do so by law or by an enforceable administrative or judicial order.
Disclosure to service providers
We contract external service providers to handle tasks such as sales and marketing services, contract management, payment processing, programming, data hosting, and hotline services. We have carefully selected these service providers and monitor them regularly, paying particular attention to how carefully they handle and protect the data stored with them. We require all service providers to maintain confidentiality and comply with legal requirements. Service providers may also be other companies within the Bosch Group.
Processing purposes and legal bases
We and the service providers we engage process your personal data for the following purposes:
Provision of this website
If you use our website solely for informational purposes – that is, without registering or otherwise sending us information – we process your personal data to provide this website based on our legitimate interest in promoting our organization and ensuring the stability and security of the site.
Our marketing activities
Newsletters
You can subscribe to newsletters on our website. We send these based on your consent.
To confirm your consent, we use what is known as the double opt-in procedure, under which we will not send you a newsletter via e-mail until you have first explicitly confirmed your subscription to the newsletter service by clicking a link in a notification.
You can stop receiving the newsletter at any time by withdrawing your consent. To unsubscribe from the e-mail newsletter, click the link included in the newsletter. Alternatively, please contact us using the details provided in the Contact section.
To tailor our newsletter to your needs and optimize our services, we analyze the behavior of our newsletter readers based on your consent. For the purposes of this analysis, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons, also known as pixels.
When you read the newsletter, we track which links you click on in the newsletter and use that information to determine your personal interests. We combine this data with technical information about your device (e.g., time of access, browser type, and operating system).
This analysis will not take place if you withdraw your consent or have disabled the display of images by default in your e-mail program. In that case, the newsletter will not be displayed in its entirety, and you may not be able to use all of its features. As soon as you enable the display of images, the analysis described above will be reactivated.
Communication
Contact
You can contact us either through a contact form or by other means, such as e-mail or phone. We store and use your personal data – such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number – to communicate with you. We process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in providing customer support and improving our products and services.
Security and protection of rights
We may also process your personal data to investigate malfunctions and for security reasons, to fulfill our legal obligations regarding data security, and based on our legitimate interest in resolving malfunctions and ensuring the security of our services.
We may process your personal data to protect and defend our rights. This purpose also constitutes our legitimate interest.
Log files
Every time you use the internet, your web browser automatically transmits certain information, which is stored in what are known as log files.
We store log files for 90 days to investigate malfunctions and for security purposes (e.g., to investigate attempted attacks). Log files that must be retained for evidentiary purposes are exempt from deletion until the incident in question has been fully resolved and may be disclosed to investigative authorities on a case-by-case basis.
The following information is stored in log files:
Storage of and access to information
Use of cookies and other technologies
In connection with the operation of our website, we may use cookies and other technologies that either store information on your device or read information stored on your device.
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.
In general, it is possible to use the website without cookies that are not technically necessary.
Technically necessary cookies
By “technically necessary cookies,” we mean cookies without which the technical operation of the website cannot be guaranteed. These include, for example, cookies that store data to ensure the smooth playback of video or audio content.
These cookies are deleted at the end of your visit.
Mechanisms that are not technically necessary
We use cookies and tracking mechanisms that are not technically necessary only if you have given us your prior consent.
The only exception to this is the cookie that stores the current status of your privacy settings (preference cookie).
Analysis
Using analytics tools, we measure things like the number of page views or your behavior on our site so that we can use this data to improve our products and services. This may also include the analysis of log files.
We use the following tools:
Name: Google Analytics
Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
Function: Analyzing user behavior (page views, number of visitors and visits, downloads), creating pseudonymous user profiles based on cross-device information from logged-in Google users (cross-device tracking), enriching pseudonymous user data with target-group-specific information provided by Google, retargeting, UX testing, conversion tracking and retargeting.
Additional information: We use the “anonymize IP” function, which anonymizes your IP address before it is stored.
We use the paid version of Google Analytics, in which the data collected on our website via Google Analytics is stored on Google’s own servers. Google may not use this data for its own purposes, nor may it combine it with other data that Google collects about you in other ways – for example, if you are signed in to your Google account in your browser when you visit our website.
Managing cookies and tracking mechanisms
You can manage your cookie and tracking mechanism settings in your browser and/or in our privacy settings:
Please note: The settings you configure apply only to the respective browser in use.
Disabling all cookies
If you would like to disable all cookies, please go to your browser settings and disable the use of cookies. Please note that this may affect the functionality of the website.
Plugins
On our website, we offer the use of plugins from various social and other networks.
Plugins are extensions provided by social media platforms. We therefore have no control over how the data collected and stored via the plugins is further processed by the providers of the respective networks.
For information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection, further processing, and deletion of data by the respective provider, as well as your rights in this regard and the settings available to protect your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective provider.

YouTube
This website uses videos from the YouTube video platform. YouTube is a platform that allows users to play video files. It is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and its parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To enhance the protection of your data when you visit our website, YouTube content is embedded on the page in “enhanced privacy mode.”
This means that a connection to YouTube – including the transmission of log data to YouTube – is not established until you interact with the player. When interacting with the active YouTube player, data is also transmitted to YouTube as the data controller, and contact is established with the Google DoubleClick advertising network, which may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control.
For more information about the scope and purpose of the data collected, YouTube’s further processing and use of the data, your rights, and the privacy options available to you, please refer to YouTube’s data protection policy.
Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps services. Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and its parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
When interacting with Google Maps, data is also transmitted to Google as the data controller, and contact is established with the Google DoubleClick advertising network, which may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control.
For more information about the scope and purpose of the data collected, Google’s further processing and use of the data, your rights, and the privacy options available to you, please refer to Google’s data protection policy.
External Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites operated by providers not affiliated with us. Once you click the link, we no longer have any control over the collection, processing, or use of any personal data (such as your IP address or the URL of the page on which the link is located) that may be transmitted to third parties when you click the link, as the actions of third parties are, by their very nature, beyond our control. We assume no responsibility for the processing of such personal data by third parties.
