DAS Dräxlmaier Automotivsysteme GmbH, Landshuter Str. 100, 84137 Vilsbiburg

Landshuter Str. 100
84137 Vilsbiburg
III. Collection and processing of personal data
We collect the following categories of personal data from the following sources:
Categories and sources of personal data
Business contact data of customers' employees and, where applicable, also any additional data concerning managing directors and shareholders. Such business contact data includes in particular:
- Form of address
- Title, position
- Surname, first name
- Business address
- Business contact data (e-mail address, telephone and fax number, where applicable)
We obtain these data from you or, where absolutely necessary, from publicly available sources (e.g., commercial register, authorities, the Internet) and in so doing we always observe the principle of data minimisation.
IV. Purpose of data processing and legal basis
Purpose of processing and legal basis
The purpose of processing is
- initiating, establishing and performing the business relationship.
In the case of customers' employees, the legal basis is generally article 6 (1) (f) GDPR because the controller has a legitimate interest in processing their personal data in the context of initiating, establishing and performing business relationships. In the case of customers' statutory representatives, the legal basis for processing may also be article 6 (1) (b) GDPR because processing may be necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual or contractual measures. Where the personal data is transferred to authorities (e.g., tax authorities), article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
V. Data recipients/categories of recipients
The controller is part of the DRÄXLMAIER Group and works together with other specialised entities of the DRÄXLMAIER Group. Therefore, personal data may be transferred to other DRÄXLMAIER Group companies, particularly in the context of initiating, establishing and performing specific business relationships or a contract.
In cases where we are legally obligated to do so, personal data will be transferred to public bodies such as investigative authorities, courts, tax authorities, municipalities and supervisory authorities.
In the context of initiating, establishing and performing business relationships, personal data may also be transferred to suppliers, sub-suppliers, processors, lawyers and notaries, authorities, auditing firms, collection agencies, financial services providers, tax consultants, or auditors.
VI. Data transfers to third countries
DRÄXLMAIER Group is a globally operating group of companies. In our business dealings, personal data may also be transferred to entities of the DRÄXLMAIER Group located outside the EU. In this respect, we ensure that the principles for processing personal data as well as the conditions of article 44 et seq. GDPR are complied with in order to ensure an adequate level of data protection in all cases.
An adequate level of data protection is ensured by means of EU standard contractual clauses.
Data stored within the EU may also be accessed by administration users from a country outside the EU, as the follow-the-sun workflow model is often used to ensure that the systems remain operational around the clock. In those cases, data will only be accessed if an adequacy decision by the Commission exists for the respective country, we have agreed standard contractual clauses with the service providers as provided for by the EU Commission in such cases, or the respective entity has adopted its own binding corporate rules recognised by the data protection authorities.
You can find further information on the above-mentioned measures we have taken at privacy@draexlmaier.com.
VII. Retention of data
We store your personal data for as long as necessary for the aforementioned purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
