Note: If you access the websites of our tool providers, the respective provider of the tool is responsible for data processing. Accessing the website is only necessary to download the software for using the tool. You can also use the tools by entering the respective meeting ID and, if applicable, other access data for the meeting directly into the tool's app. If you do not wish to use the tool apps or are unable to, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which is also available on the respective tool provider's website.

  2. Subject of Data Protection
    The subject of data protection is personal data. According to Article 4(1) GDPR, this includes all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. This includes, for example, details such as first and last names, email addresses, as well as usage data such as IP addresses.

  3. Purpose of Data Processing
    We use the respective tool to conduct teleconferences, online meetings, video conferences, and/or webinars (hereinafter referred to as "Online Meetings").
    MS Teams is a service provided by Microsoft Corporation, headquartered in the USA.

  4. What Data is Processed?
    Various types of data are processed when using the tools. The extent of the data depends on what data you provide before or during participation in an "Online Meeting." The following personal data is subject to processing:
  • To participate in an "Online Meeting" or enter the "Meeting Room," you must provide at least your name as a guest.
  • Information provided by registered users of the apps: first name, last name, email address, and password (depending on the use of "Single Sign-On"), phone number, profile picture, and department can be provided optionally.
  • Meeting metadata: subject, participant IP addresses, device and hardware information, meeting description, and topic are optional.
  • Recordings (optional): MP4 file of all video, audio, and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat.
  • When dialing in by phone: Information about the incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. Additional connection data such as the device's IP address may also be stored.

In this regard, the text inputs you make will be processed to display them in the "Online Meeting" and possibly to log them. To display video and play audio, data from the microphone of your device and any video camera of the device will be processed accordingly during the meeting. You can turn off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time through the tool application.

We use the tools mentioned to conduct "Online Meetings." If we intend to record "Online Meetings," we will inform you transparently in advance and, if necessary, obtain your consent. The fact of the recording will also be displayed in the respective tool app. If it is necessary to log the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content.

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR does not occur.

6. Legal Basis for Data Processing
Insofar as personal data of employees of Noris Truck Center is processed, Section 26(1) Sentence 1 BDSG or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. If personal data is not required for the execution, establishment, or termination of the employment relationship in connection with the use of the respective tool but is nevertheless an essential part of the tool's use, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, our interest lies in the efficient conduct of "Online Meetings." Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing in the conduct of "Online Meetings" is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships. If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Again, our interest lies in the efficient conduct of "Online Meetings."

The tool providers are services provided by a provider based in the USA. As such, the processing of personal data also takes place in a third country. An adequate level of data protection is ensured on the one hand by the "EU-U.S. Privacy Shield" certification of the providers and, on the other hand, by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses.

XII. Advertising / Marketing Purposes

XVIII. Instagram

Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example, in the form of an "Instagram camera." An overview of the Instagram plugins and what they look like can be found here:

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Instagram to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged into Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram can directly associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, such as by clicking the "Instagram" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts.

XIX. Newsletter

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. This data is used exclusively for sending the requested information and is not shared with third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point it will be deleted. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

    (9) The right to be informed about whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

  2. Right to Rectification
    You have the right to request rectification and/or completion if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. We must make the correction without delay.

  3. Right to Restrict Processing
    You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:
    (1) If you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
    (2) The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the deletion of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;

    (4) If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

    If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed—with the exception of storage—with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

    If the restriction of processing has been applied according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

  4. Right to Erasure
    a) Obligation to Erase
    You have the right to request the immediate deletion of personal data concerning you, and we are obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
    (1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
    (2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing;
    (3) You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR;
    (4) The personal data concerning you has been unlawfully processed;

    If we have made the personal data concerning you public and are obliged to delete it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, we will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of any links to, or copies or replication of, that personal data.

    c) Exceptions
    The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary:
    (1) For exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
    (2) For compliance with a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
    (3) For reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
    (4) For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, in so far as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
    (5) For the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  5. Right to Notification
    If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, we are obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

  6. Right to Object

    You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. We will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  7. Right to Withdraw Consent

    You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

  8. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

    Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy.

    The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority.
