1. Processing of personal data 

Scope and purpose of the processing of personal data

We collect and use personal data only to provide you a functional website, our content and services. The collection and use of personal data is regularly only carried out with your consent. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

So far as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Art. 6 (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 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to ensure 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 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Visiting our website 

We record and save your computer's IP address in order to send the contents of our website visited by you to your computer (e.g. texts, pictures, and files provided for downloading, etc.) (cf. Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR). We also process these data to identify and pursue any misuse. Legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. In this context, our legitimate interest in data processing is to ensure the due functioning of our website and the business transacted via the website.

In as far as we process your data as described above for the purpose of providing the functions of our website, you are contractually bound to make these data available to us. 

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data are transmitted to us or to our web space provider via your Internet browser. 

With these server log files, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which the use of our Internet presence is made will be collected. 

This data will be stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you. This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our Internet presence.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, as long as no further storage is necessary for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data shall be completely or partially excluded from deletion until the final clarification of an incident.

Use of our contact form and e-mail contact

A contact form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic contacting. If a user takes this opportunity, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:

• Name

• Mail address

• Message/enquiry

At the time the message is sent, the following data will also be stored: 

• The IP address of the user

• Date and time of registration

 

The data must be provided in order to process and respond to your enquiry - we cannot answer your enquiry or only to a limited extent without the required data. Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data and also a reference will be made to this data protection declaration during the sending process. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a), b) GDPR. Alternatively, you can contact us via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. Your data will be deleted as long as your request has been answered finally and if there are no legal obligations to retain data to prevent deletion, e.g. in case of any subsequent processing of a contract.

 

2. Transfer to third parties 

Due to legal obligation

In certain cases, we are required by law to transfer data to a requesting public authority. Personal data will only be transferred to state institutions and public authorities within the framework of mandatory national legal provisions or if disclosure is necessary in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure for legal or criminal prosecution. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR or § 24 (1) No. 1 German Federal Data Protection Act

Data processing by data processors

Sometimes we use external service providers to process your data. In these cases, the information is transferred to third parties to enable further processing. External service providers are selected carefully and audited at regular intervals to ensure protection of your data privacy.

These service providers / processors are bound by instructions. Given this, they are subject to our requirements, which include processing of your data exclusively in line with our instructions and in compliance with the applicable Data Protection Act. In particular, they are contractually bound to treat your data with strict confidentiality, and are not permitted to process data for other purposes than the ones agreed.

Data transfer to the data processor is effected on the basis of Art. 28 (1) GDPR.

Intended data transfer to third countries

At present, data transfer to third countries is not planned. Otherwise we will establish the required legal conditions. In particular, you will be informed of the respective recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data in line with the legal requirements.

 

3. Applications

What personal data do we process?

We store and process all data that you make available to us through your application. This includes your contact details, your application documents (resumé, cover letter, previous work experience, education/training and certificates, the type of employment you would like and the date from which you are available). In addition, this also applies to all other data you send to us. When you apply via our online portal, we may collect access information, such as the IP address of your access device.

How long will your data be stored?

We store your personal data only for the duration of the retention period for application data for six months, unless you give us permission to use your documents for other positions that become available. Where data storage after the above is no longer necessary, the data will be deleted.

If you accept a job in our company, we will store your personal information for the entire duration of your employment in accordance with the Data Privacy Statement for employees that we will provide to you on acceptance of the job.

 

4. Security 

Motherson Group takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any personal data you provide to Motherson Group from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized parties. This also applies to any external services purchased. We verify the effectiveness of our data protection measures and continuously improve them in line with technological development. Any personal data entered are encrypted during transfer using a secure encryption process.

 

5. Subscription to our newsletters

On the website of the Motherson Group, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

The Motherson Group informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, whereby our authorization arises from the fact that, on the one hand, Motherson Group, has an interest in evaluating the website data for purposes of website optimization and, on the other hand, a concerned person can reasonably foresee at the time when the personal data is collected and in view of the circumstances under which it is carried out (in particular the above-mentioned measures) that it will possibly be processed for this purpose.

 

9. Standard periods for deletion of data  

Legislation has defined numerous data storage periods and obligations. At the end of these periods, the relevant data will be routinely deleted. Data that are not affected by the above storage periods and obligations are deleted or anonymized as soon as the purposes defined in this data privacy statement no longer apply. Unless this data privacy statement includes other deviating provisions for data storage, we will store any data we collect for as long as they are required for the above purposes for which they were collected. 

 

10. Other data use and deletion 

Any further processing or use of your personal data will generally only be carried out to the extent permitted on the basis of a legal regulation or where you have consented to data processing or data use.
