Each time you use the internet, your browser is transmitting certain information which we store in so-called log files.
We store log files to determine service disruptions and for security reasons (e.g., to investigate attack attempts) for a period of 7 days and delete them afterwards. Log files which need to be maintained for evidence purposes are excluded from deletion until the respective incident is resolved and may, on a case-by-case basis, be passed on to investigating authorities.
In log files, the following information is saved:
- IP address (internet protocol address) of the terminal device used to access the Online Offer;
- Internet address of the website from which the Online Offer is accessed (so-called URL of origin or referrer URL);

Principally, we store your data for as long as it is necessary to render our Online Offers and connected services or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing the data (e.g. we might still have a legitimate interest in postal mail marketing after fulfilment of our contractual obligations). In all other cases we delete your personal data with the exception of data we are obliged to store for the fulfilment of legal obligations (e.g. due to retention periods under the tax and commercial codes we are obliged to have documents such as contracts and invoices available for a certain period of time).
Principally, your personal data is forwarded to other controllers only if required for the fulfilment of a contractual obligation, or if we ourselves, or a third party, have a legitimate interest in the data transfer, or if you have given your consent. Third parties may also be other companies in the Bosch group.
Particulars on the legal basis and the recipients or categories of recipients can be found in the Section “Processing purposes and legal basis”.
Additionally, data may be transferred to other controllers when we are obliged to do so due to statutory regulations or enforceable administrative or judicial orders.
We involve external service providers with tasks such as sales and marketing services, contract management, payment handling, programming, data hosting and hotline services. 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 obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the statutory provisions. Service providers may also be other companies from the Bosch Group.
We may transfer personal data to recipients located outside the EEA into third countries. In such cases, we ensure before the transfer that either the data recipient provides an adequate level of data protection or that your consent to the transfer has been obtained.

We offer the use of plugins from various social and other networks on our website.
Further processing of data by the providers
Plugins represent extensions of the providers of the social networks. We therefore have no influence on the further processing of the data collected and stored via the plugins by the providers of the respective networks.
For information on the purpose and scope of the collection, further processing and deletion of the data by the respective provider, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective provider.
We use plugins from the following providers listed below:
Plugins are inactive by default.
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are integrated into the page by means of a "2-click solution". With this 2-click solution, we protect you from having your visit to our websites recorded by default and possibly evaluated by providers of the respective plugin.
If you do not want the providers of the respective networks to receive data about your use of this website and possibly store or further use it, you should not activate the respective plugins.
Activating the plugin
You can decide for yourself whether you want to interact with the network of the respective provider and whether your data should be transmitted to the respective provider or not. Only with your click on the provided button, the plugins are activated and integrated into the page by transmitting the content of the respective plugin from the server of the associated provider directly to your browser. Subsequently, you can perform the desired interaction with the network with another click. If you decide to activate a plugin, we process your data based on your consent.
Collection of data by the providers
When a plugin is activated, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider. Through this, the respective provider receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website; even if you do not have a user account with the provider or are not currently logged in to it.
If you already have a user account with a provider of a network and you are already logged in while visiting our websites, the operator of the respective network may be able to assign the visit to your personal user account as soon as you activate the plugins. This may enable the provider to analyze your usage behavior and store it in a profile.
In addition, your IP address and other data about your browser settings are transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective provider and may be stored there.
Deactivating the plugin
If you no longer wish to use an activated plugin, you can also deactivate the plugin using the button provided. Please note that data already transmitted will not be affected by this.

Photographs/videos/audio recordings (hereafter: recordings) of participants are taken at this event (personal data). The information and transparency obligations required for this by GDPR can be found in the following information sheet.

Controller
Controller for the recordings is: Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH, dept. PT-MKX-EA, Max-Lang-Straße 40-46, 70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, kontakt@bosch.de
Purpose of the recordings /categories of recipients/legal basis
The recordings serve Bosch-internal and Bosch-external purposes, such as capturing the atmosphere and the overall impression of the event as well as the evaluation of the number of participants or they might be used for commercial purposes. Selected recordings might also be published, for example on the internet, on Bosch-external platforms, social media accounts or online press (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc.) or in internal Bosch networks (such as Bosch Connect or Bosch Global Network). The recordings might be processed for Bosch-internal and Bosch-external presentation, communication and documentation purposes. This might include the processing of recordings by other third parties or legal entities of Bosch (also called “third parties” in data protection law”) worldwide.
Therefore, the categories of recipients are: Bosch employees, service providers, visitors of our Online Offers, visitors of our social-media-channels, prospective customers.
The legal basis for data processing is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. Bosch's legitimate interest here is: Indirect participation in the event by Bosch associates, advertising for Power Tools, strengthening customer loyalty. In addition, a written contract (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR as legal basis) is concluded with the data subject before the recordings are published if this is legally required under the German Kunsturhebergesetz (KunstUrhG) (e.g. when publishing individual recordings). Publication means making the recordings accessible to a broad group of potential recipients.
Erasure
Your recordings will be erased if they are no longer necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were stored or if processing is inadmissible for other legal reasons. To ensure that your personal data is not stored for longer than necessary, the Controller will carry out a regular review of the purpose.
