2. Information on data processing for visitors to our website
We process personal data that are created when you visit our website or that you communicate to us in accordance with data protection regulations.

You can always visit our website without providing personal data. We only collect personal data if this is required, for technical purposes for the use of our website, or if you use certain functions on our website such as contact forms. We collect your personal data to enable the required functions.

When you visit our website, our web servers automatically save the IP address assigned to you by your Internet service provider, the website you clicked from, the web page of ours you visit, any downloads, the quantity of data requested, search terms, as well as the date and time. These data are recorded for the duration of three months. We use this information to identify and correct any security risks or malfunctions on our website. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), according to which data processing is permissible for the protection of legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests are the safeguarding of website functions and the early detection and prevention of cyber attacks.

We also collect your data when you contact us using the contact form available on the website or in any other way. Unless specified otherwise in connection with the contact form, we will use this data only for the purpose of responding to your request and for technical administration. We identify all data that are mandatory as such. You may be asked to give additional personal information. This information is voluntary and is only used to process your inquiry. The data we process when you use our contact form are legally based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if the data are required for the performance of a contract.

3. Information on the use of cookies and similar technology
Eberspächer uses cookies in order to implement certain functions on our website that are required for technical reasons, to understand how our offers are used, to continuously optimize our websites and to provide you with the content that you need. Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your hard drive. Cookies cannot cause any damage to your computer, execute programs or contain viruses. In place of cookies, we may use what are known as web beacons or similar common technology that store (sometimes temporarily) information on specific users and user processes. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer via your browser settings at any time; please use your browser's settings or help function to do this. This may prevent you from using certain features on our website. Eberspächer uses cookies for various purposes. You can obtain further information on individual cookie types by opening cookie settings.

Technical cookies
For the most part, these cookies enable you to use the features on the site, e.g. to retain form data (e.g. in a contact form) or to control what information is displayed (e.g. the cookie banner). Certain tools are required in order to operate our website. Use of these tools is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, and allows us to personalize and streamline your website experience. In certain cases, these tools may also be necessary in order to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual activities, in which case we process your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Analytics cookies
Other cookies enable analysis of website use for statistical purposes. They allow us to learn, for example, what content on our website is particularly relevant for our users and what devices are used to access the site. This allows us to make our website more interesting for our users. The information on the browsers and devices used allows us to adapt our site design to suit the most important browser types. We use these cookies only with your consent. Your consent is the legal basis for data processing in connection with analytics cookies (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and for the transfer of data to third countries (Article 49(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent by opening cookie settings and changing the relevant option. Access to and storage of information on devices are based on the laws implementing the ePrivacy Regulation for EU Member States.

Marketing cookies
We also use cookies for advertising and marketing purposes in order to enable targeted ads and to show you advertising on external websites (e.g. on Google or Facebook) for products and offers that you were interested in on our website or that match content that we believe is of interest to you. General information about possible interests of our website users and of other users that is collected by third parties on other websites is also used to enable the targeted advertising of our content (known as retargeting). For this purpose, the information is saved to a cookie identifier. The information cannot identify you as an individual but is recognized purely on the basis of your device. When the cookies are deleted, the advertising content is no longer personalized. We use these cookies only with your consent. Your consent is the legal basis for data processing in connection with marketing cookies (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and for the transfer of data to third countries (Article 49(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent by opening cookie settings and changing the relevant option. Access to and storage of information on devices are based on the laws implementing the ePrivacy Regulation for EU Member States.

We advise that under certain circumstances some of our websites have cookies that are not directly related to Eberspächer. If you visit a site with content that has been embedded by third parties (e.g. YouTube or Issuu), these third parties may have placed their own cookies. Eberspächer can neither influence the use of these cookies nor access them due to the way they function; they can only be accessed by those who have originally placed them there. Please refer to the websites of the third parties in question for more information.

4. Consent and your rights regarding privacy
Without your special consent, the personal data that you supply on Eberspächer’s website will only be used for the purpose provided (e.g. for preparing a bid), and for technical administration. Upon each data entry, we will inform you of its intended purpose and may ask for you for consent for its further use. In these cases, the legal basis for data processing is the consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Your consent is always voluntary, and you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

Furthermore, even if you consented, you may, at any time, object to your personal data being used for advertising or for market research and surveys, or request information about these stored data. You also have the option of having your personal data that you have stored with us corrected, blocked or erased at any time. To do this, please send a letter or email to the controller (I.). Please note that we exclude from erasure any data that we require for processing outstanding services or enforcing our rights and claims. This also applies to data we must keep in accordance with legal requirements. Such data are initially locked.

If the service providers named in this Statement process your data outside the European Union, we will ensure that these providers guarantee contractually or otherwise an equivalent level of data protection to that of the European Union. You can request a copy of this guarantee via the controller (I.).

You also have the right to request that we send you an electronic copy of any data that we process as part of a contract or based on your consent (this is called the right to data portability).

Finally, you have the right, at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (data processing based on the balance of interests). If you object, we will only continue to process your personal data if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for doing so that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is used to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing for the protection of legitimate interests based on a balance of interests, you also have the right to object to this at any time without stating your reasons.


5. Changes to the privacy policy
Eberspächer reserves the right to change its privacy policy at any time without prior notice. We therefore recommend that you regularly keep up to date with any changes.


6. Contact for privacy
If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you can contact us at any time at datenschutz[at]eberspaecher.com with your requests for information, suggestions or complaints. We will take care of your concern immediately. You also have the right to file a complaint with your Data Protection Authority.
