The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We process your data primarily to provide a working and easy-to-use website. Your data will always be processed in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
We furthermore process your data only if and insofar as this is permitted by statutory provisions. Additional information is available in the following statements.
Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from your computer system. We collect the following data:
This data is stored in the log files of our system. There is no storage of the aforementioned data together with other personal data.
We use this data to secure our IT systems. Furthermore temporary storage is used for error detection and error prevention. The data will not be used for marketing purposes in this context. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and the logfiles is Art. 6 para. (1) lit. f) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
The data is stored until it is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. If data is required to deliver the website, the necessity ends when the session ends. Your data will be deleted automatically at the end of the session. If stored in our log files, the data will be erased after seven days at the latest. If the data is stored longer than this, your IP address will be deleted or alienated so it cannot be traced back to you or your internet connection.
The hosting of our website is carried out on our behalf by processors which are acting under our authority and in compliance with GDPR and do not forward your data to third parties without authorization.
For our website we use the font “Avenir” provided by the company Monotype GmbH, Horexstraße 30, 61352 Bad Homburg, Berlin branch: Bergmannstraße 102, 10961 Berlin, Germany. This ensures that the website looks the same for all visitors, regardless of which device and which browser is used.
For this purpose, your personal data will only be processed by us to deliver the website with all headlines to you and personal data will not be transmitted to a third party. Monotype GmbH tracks the number of views of the fonts on our website as well as our data for contractual purposes.
Our website uses "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer system. It contains a custom string that identifies your browser the next time you visit the site. When you visit our website, a cookie may be stored on your system.
The following sections to no. 1 ("Obligatory or necessary cookies”), to no. 2 (“Functional cookies"), and to no. 3 ("Targeted or marketing cookies") are meant to explain in detail what types of cookies we use and what data is processed.
Unless other erasure periods are listed in the following explanations, the following applies to the retention period regardless of the type and use of cookies:
You have unrestricted control over the use of cookies. They are stored on your computer and the data is transferred from your computer to our page. By default, most browsers are configured to accept cookies. However, changing the browser settings can disable or restrict the use of cookies. Already saved cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically by setting your browser accordingly.
If cookies are generally disabled for our website, you may not able to use all features on our website.
The legal basis for the processing for all types of cookies is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
1. Obligatory or necessary cookies
Obligatory or necessary cookies are cookies that are required for the functionality of the online services. They are, for example, used to enable the execution of the online services, to store previous actions (e.g. text entered if you go back to a page within one session), securely design the online services, and to manage the online services (e.g. prevention of fraud). Without these cookies, online services would not function properly, or the WIRTGEN GROUP would not be able to offer certain services.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The data collected using technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
If you object to the use of these cookies or if you configure your browser accordingly, our website will not recognize your browser and certain content may not be retrievable or data (e.g. from an input field) may be lost.
The obligatory cookies used by us are session cookies that are automatically deleted at the end of the session.
2. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are cookies that are not necessary for the execution of online services but facilitate the use of online services by storing certain selected options or offering expanded functions. They are, for example, used to store websites headings or options, e.g. the selection of a language or other online settings (e.g. fonts). These cookies and other technologies may be used to provide requested functions, e.g. displaying a video.
Functional cookies also collect information on how online services are used, among other things the pages that are most frequently retrieved, the browser or operating systems that are used, or from which page the users arrive at the online services, whether a product or link is displayed or used, and which error messages have been generated. This information helps us improve the online services, capture the number of visitors, determine patterns of views, rectify problems within the online services, and improve the design for using the online services.
Some analysis and performance cookies are used in connection with services provided by third-party providers, among them:
Through the gained statistics we can improve our offer and design it more interesting for you as a user. Legal basis in addition to the consent granted by you within the scope of the cookie consent manager is therefore also our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The placed cookie is valid for seven days. Non-anonymized log files on our servers are automatically deleted after 7 days.
3. Targeted or marketing cookies
These cookies collect information on your surfing behavior and your online behavior even across different browsers and devices used by you in order to display advertisement in the online services and other visited sites that could be of interest for you. Your surfing behavior in the online services and your activities on other websites can, for example, be used to derive information about you, which is then used to design advertisement that is more relevant to you (frequently referred to as “interest-based advertisement”). They are also used to limit the display frequency of advertisements and determine the efficiency of advertisement campaigns. They store the information that you have visited the online services (including visited pages and links clicked on) and possibly forward this information to other companies, e.g. advertisers and marketing networks. These cookies are usually placed by third parties. Data collected through functional cookies (e.g. analysis and performance cookies) can also in part be used for advertisement purposes.
4. Management of cookies
Click on the button below in order to access the cookie consent manager of the WIRTGEN GROUP. The cookie consent manager is a browser-cookie-based tool through which you can change the settings regarding certain functional, targeted, or advertisement cookies. The settings for obligatory cookies cannot be changed because they are necessary. The tool communicates the chosen setting to the third-party providers, which then initiate an opt-out. The effects of this setting are described in the cookie policy, privacy policy, and/or data forwarding declaration of the third-party provider.
An opt-out cookie is placed in your browser for the technical implementation of your objection. This cookie serves only to allocate your objection. Please note that for technical reasons, an opt-out cookie is effective only in the browser in which it was placed. If you delete the cookies or use another browser or another terminal device, you have to place the opt-out cookie again.

Processing of this data during the sending process is to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

1. For what purposes is the Compliance Hotline operated?
Section 301 (4) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires the establishment of a whistle-blower system. The German Corporate Governance Code (Section 4.1.3) also recommends the establishment of whistleblower systems. Regardless of these statutory requirements, whistleblower systems are also generally considered a suitable component of effective compliance management systems (CMS), since they provide a protected space where employees and third parties can report compliance violations. The Compliance Hotline is such a whistleblower system.

In this document, the term “personal data” refers to personal data as defined in Article 4(1) of the GDPR. This includes any information relating to a natural person and that can be used to directly or indirectly identify that person.
Within the scope of providing training, we generally process contact information such as the title, name, telephone number, photo (optional), IP address (web-based learning platform), and the email address of contacts and training participants, as well as data relating to content and skill levels that is generated in connection with participating in training (e.g., training results, reports, certificates), and other accompanying data (e.g., training date, hotel booking request).

We usually obtain your personal data from you yourself or from your employer as our business partner, in particular from information provided during the training registration process.

Insofar as the following information does not specify any other retention periods, the following applies collectively with respect to the retention period, irrespective of the type and purpose of the cookies:
You have full control over the use of cookies. These are stored on your computer and the data they contain is transmitted to our site. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but by changing the browser settings, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Any cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be performed automatically by configur-ing your browser accordingly.

As a company, we process personal data within the scope of providing training on the basis of one of the legal bases specified below:
a) Consent from the Data Subject (Article 6(1)(a), Article 7 of the GDPR)
Within the scope of providing training, WIRTGEN processes personal data on the basis of the informed consent of the data subject when it comes to certain activities. In the event that WIRTGEN processes personal data on the basis of your consent, the specific purposes of processing will be specified in the content of the respective declaration of consent.
b) For the Performance of a Contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR)
Personal data is processed for the performance of a contract with a natural person or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. The scope and details of such data processing are specified in the respective contract that we enter into directly with you in each individual case and, if applicable, in the associated terms and conditions.
c) Compliance with a Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR)
WIRTGEN is subject to legal requirements that may result in an obligation to process personal data. On the basis of these requirements, WIRTGEN is, in particular, obligated to ensure that data is retained properly, especially in accordance with the German Fiscal Code (abbreviated AO in German) and the German Commercial Code (abbreviated HGB in German), and archives documents in corresponding IT systems and, if necessary, also in paper form.
d) For the Purposes of Our Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR)
The WIRTGEN GROUP processes personal data within the scope of general business operations and for the purpose of providing services to our customers on the basis of our legitimate interests, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject. A specific interest of the WIRTGEN GROUP in this respect lies primarily in the performance of our contractual obligations vis-à-vis our customers. As a general rule, the WIRTGEN GROUP processes personal data provided by customers only to the extent that this is actually necessary for the provision of services.
In compliance with legal obligations, personal data may be disclosed to the following recipients:
When integrating service providers into WIRTGEN’s data processing processes, WIRTGEN’s stringent data protection standards are contractually imposed on the service providers. In the case of contractual processing relationships, both parties enter into data protection agreements in accordance with the legal requirements of Article 28 of the GDPR.
In certain cases, we may also transfer your data to third parties, i.e. partners with whom we collaborate outside of a contractual processing arrangement. Such partners provide their services (e.g. payment services such as PayPal) as controllers in their own right; the processing of your data by these partners is governed solely by their privacy policies.
We would like to inform you about your rights in relation to the processing of your personal data. If you have any questions about your rights or wish to assert your rights vis-à-vis our company, please contact our data protection officer at datenschutz@wirtgen-group.com or at the above mailing address, adding “Data Protection Officer.”
Right to Withdraw Your Consent (Article 7(3) of the GDPR)
If you have granted your express consent to the processing of your personal data, you may withdraw this consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal. You will be informed of this right of withdrawal before you grant your consent.
Right of Access (Article 15 of the GDPR)
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not we are processing your personal data. If this is the case, you have the right to access this personal data. Where personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organization, you also have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to the GDPR relating to the transfer.
Right to Rectification (Article 16 of the GDPR)
You have the right to obtain from us without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
Right to Erasure, i.e. “Right to Be Forgotten” (Article 17 of the GDPR)
You have the right to obtain the erasure of your personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
We will comply with your request to erase the data unless we are required or authorized by law to continue to store and process your data. In addition, we are authorized to retain your data if it is not possible for us to assert, exercise, or defend against legal claims without your data.
Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18 of the GDPR)
Pursuant to Article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to obtain from us the restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
Where processing has been restricted, we are only authorized to store this data. In this case, further processing is only allowed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of an EU member state. You can withdraw your consent in this regard at any time. We will inform you before the restriction of processing is lifted.
Notification Obligation (Article 19 of the GDPR)
Please note that we are obligated to communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom your personal data has been disclosed. This does not apply if doing so proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
We will inform you about these recipients if you request it.
Right to Data Portability (Article 20 of the GDPR)
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to have us transfer this data to a third party in certain cases. This right cannot adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, including our company, however. If this is the case, we are authorized to refuse to disclose or transfer your data.
Right to Object (Article 21 of the GDPR)
If we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), you have the right to object to this on grounds relating to your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on this provision. In this case, we will no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. These must override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing must serve the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority (Article 77 of the GDPR)
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data violates the provisions of the GDPR. This does not affect any other administrative or judicial remedies to which you may be entitled.
It may become necessary to amend the content of this privacy information from time to time. As such, we reserve the right to amend this information at any time. We will also publish the amended version of the privacy information here and you can further request it from us at any time (see the contact details of the data protection officer above).
Version 1.3 (2021)
As part of our activities at trade shows, the WIRTGEN GROUP produces photos and videos for visual documentation and communications. Since we cannot completely rule out the possibility that it may be possible to identify you directly or indirectly in such photos or videos, these photos and videos represent personal data within the terms of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
As such, we would like to provide you with the following information about how your personal data is processed in connection with photos/videos shot at our trade show booth and about your rights as a data subject.
We may provide you with further privacy policies in other situations in which we contact you or process your data, and you should also take note of these.

Legal Information:

You can contact our privacy officer by e-mail at international.datenschutz@wirtgen-group.com or by postal mail by adding “The Privacy Officer” to our mailing address.
Taking photographs and recording videos of our trade show booth and activities for PR and advertising purposes may also involve the processing and publication of your personal data, in particular photos and videos of you.
We generally only take portraits or close-ups of you if you have given us or the photographer we have hired your consent to do so, which can also take the form of behaving in a manner that clearly expresses such consent (e.g. smiling into the camera). In this respect, the legal basis is normally your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), whereby in individual cases such photos can also be taken on the basis of our legitimate interests in documenting our events and carrying out associated public relations activities (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time without specifying any reasons (the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal, however) or object to the associated processing (see section 6 below).
In addition, we also take photos that provide an overview of our booth as well as group photos that do not include a portrait or close-up of any specific individual. Doing so is primarily based on our legitimate interest in documenting our events and carrying out associated public relations activities (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). If you have any issues with us taking such overview or group photographs that include your likeness, you may object to our doing so (see section 6 below). We will then review on an individual basis whether your legitimate interests as a data subject outweigh our interests. We will normally accept your objection – unless the WIRTGEN GROUP has overriding business interests – and remove the photographs in question that contain your likeness and not use them in the future.
The production of photos/videos is also generally not prohibited due to the fact that your ethnic background, religion, or health (e.g. skin color, headwear, glasses) may be discernible. Under no circumstances, however, do we process the photos/videos in order to specifically obtain such information. In particular, we will not perform any automated scans to find such information.
The WIRTGEN GROUP would like to point out that photos/videos posted on the Internet and in social networks can be accessed worldwide and found using search engines. As such, the possibility exists that the photographs and videos may be distributed and used by third parties that the WIRTGEN GROUP has no control over.
We will only transfer your personal data to external third parties if this is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, if another legal basis exists, or if we have your consent to do so. External recipients may, in particular, include service providers (e.g. hosting providers or photo/video studios) or subsidiaries of the WIRTGEN GROUP or of Deere & Company, John Deere Place, Moline, Illinois, 61265, USA. We carefully select and regularly review all processors (e.g. photographers); they are only authorized to use the data for the specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions on the basis of a Data Processing Agreement pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR.
If data is transferred to recipients whose registered office or location for data processing is not located in a member state of the European Union (EU) or in another nation party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), we will ensure that, prior to the transfer, the recipient maintains an adequate level of privacy or you have granted your consent to the data transfer, except in exceptional cases permitted by law.
If photographs or videos are posted to the pages of the WIRTGEN GROUP and its affiliated companies on social networks, they may be transmitted to a country outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the United States. The social networks we use and their parent companies listed below are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement and are therefore obligated to comply with the provisions of the GDPR.
We do not have any control over the use of your data by these social networks, however. We can neither determine nor influence the extent to which, where, and for how long the data will be stored, to what extent any existing obligations to delete such data will be fulfilled, what analyses of the data will be conducted and links to the data will be created, and to whom the data will be transfered. Details about the providers of the social networks we use and about how they process data can be found in the following information:
In this context, please also note our supplementary privacy policies for our respective pages and fan sites on the aforementioned social networks.
We store your personal data for a period of 3 years.
We will delete your personal data prior to the end of this period if we are required to do so by law.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless further processing is permitted or even mandatory according to the applicable legal provisions (e.g. within the framework of our obligations to retain data under commercial and tax law). We will normally accept your objection – unless the we have overriding business interests – and remove the photographs in question that contain your likeness and not use them in the future.
You have numerous rights as a data subject, including but not limited to the following:
Furthermore, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal (Article 7(3) of the GDPR).
Last but not least, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 of the GDPR).
To exercise any of the aforementioned rights, please contact us by e-mail at international.datenschutz@wirtgen-group.com or by postal mail at the address specified in section 1 above.

Overview
Customers who own, lease or rent connected equipment from John Deere or its controlled affiliates, including the Wirtgen Group in the European Union (EU), or who purchase services for that connected equipment, may access certain data that is collected or generated by the equipment/service under the EU Data Act (Regulation 2023/2854/EC). This site details John Deere's obligations under the EU Data Act, including data collection and access.
Data collection
Data that is in scope of the EU Data Act varies by product line, model year and configuration. Generally, each machine collects between 50 and 200 measurements with a frequency of 1 second up to 30 minute aggregates depending on machine type and configuration. Machines connected with JDLink™ capture this data and then transfer them to the John Deere Operations Center ™. The data is stored in infrastructure managed by John Deere in data centres around the world. The data is retained until a customer’s Operations Center Organisation is deleted. Data for a specific machine is deleted when that machine is removed from a customer’s Operations Center Organisation.
The following types of data are collected:
• Machine position data, including elevation, roll and pitch angle and speed
• Sensor readings from engine, transmission and hydraulic systems, such as temperatures, speed, torque, pressure, fuel consumption, exhaust treatment information, flow rates, etc.
• Electrical system measurements such as voltages and switch states
• Machine automation utilisation states and times
• Machine operation specific measurements such as throughputs, rotation speed, position, fill level, count, density, moisture and pressure
Data access
API access
John Deere already makes a significant amount of data available to its customers in the Operations Center and further allows customers to connect and share that data with designated third parties through the Operations Center. A list of the data that is available to customers through various APIs can be found at
https://developer.deere.com. These APIs have been refined over many years on the basis of insights and features most frequently requested by our customers and include machine data, agronomic data, roadbuilding data, worksite data and administrative data. These APIs also allow you to copy and transfer these data. John Deere offers a variety of examples that demonstrate how to access our APIs with Java, NodeJS, Python and C# applications on
https://github.com/JohnDeere.
Manual access
To access data that is in scope of the EU Data Act but which is not part of our current API offerings, you can submit a manual data request via the
request form. The data provided under these requests are subject to the John Deere Operations Center Organisation Terms & Conditions.

Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to demand confirmation from us as to whether we process personal data concerning you. If this is the case, you have the right to information about such personal data.

SPECTIVE CONNECT Privacy Notice European Economic Area (EEA)
SPECTIVE CONNECT Privacy Notice Rest of World
Territory Scope: European Union, non-EU countries in European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland
Release Date: 2023-04-20
Language: English
This policy describes how KLEEMANN and its WIRTGEN GROUP affiliates collect and process your data. References in this policy to KLEEMANN, “we” or “us” shall mean KLEEMANN GmbH, Manfred-Wörner-Straße 160, 73037 Göppingen, Germany.
We would like to explain to you below in more detail which personal data we collect in connection with the SPECTIVE CONNECT App and how we use related data as well as inform you about your rights as a data subject.
This Privacy Notice applies only to individuals (“you” or “your”) to whom the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are applicable and who are within the jurisdictions mentioned under Territory Scope (see above), in particular data subjects residing within the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. Outside the EEA and Switzerland please refer to our separate SPECTIVE CONNECT Privacy Notice (Rest of World).
SPECTIVE CONNECT provides you the possibility to connect a smart device (Smartphone/Tablet) via WiFi with a KLEEMANN crushing or screening plant to see all important information of the current process. The operator stays in the excavator or wheel loader – safe and efficient. Clear reports digitize the machine usage and productivity.
1 What data do we collect and process?
We collect and process personal data about you when you interact with us and our products while using the SPECTIVE CONNECT App.
We strive to provide you with the best possible experience. To improve our products and their usability, we are using analytics technologies from 3rd parties. The information collected doesn’t allow us to identify you but helps analyze crashes, bugs, and relevant information to improve and enhance the quality of our products and services. Any collected location information doesn’t allow any exact identification of your location or person and helps us to optimize the product for regional usage. You have the possibility to disable this tracking and analytics functionality via the settings in your licensed Application.
We have no access to other data because they are stored only on your device.
2 For what purposes and on what legal basis do we use your data?
We process this personal data for the following purposes:
3 Who will we share your data with?
We share your information with the following recipients:
Personal data may be shared with government authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law, or if required for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws.
As an end user (e.g. as an employee or driver) please refer to your Organization as the operator and/or owner of the machine to find out how it transfers your data on its part.
4 Where will we send your data?
Where information is transferred outside the EEA, and where this is to a trusted supplier in a country that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (a list of such countries is available here ), data is adequately protected by KLEEMANN’s use of EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses when setting up such relationships. Transfers to WIRTGEN GROUP affiliates will take place using adequate measures, such as binding corporate rules (BCR’s), standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission to protect Personal Data, other valid transfer mechanism(s), or based on permissible statutory derogations.
5 What rights do you have in relation to your data?
You have the right to ask us:
And you may also:
These rights may be limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement or compelling legitimate grounds to process your data. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you object to our data processing or withdraw your consent.
Where we require personal data to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship, or to meet obligations placed on us. In all other cases, provision of requested personal data is optional.
If you want to exercise your rights regarding your personal data, you can contact the data protection officer whose contact details can be found below.
In the event you have unresolved concerns, you also have the right to lodge a complaint over the
Personal Data Complaint Form
on our WIRTGEN GROUP Website or complain with a supervisory authority, in particular the data protection authority in the member state of your habitual residence or place of work.
Please note that we can only answer requests regarding your rights, if the data on which your request is based clearly identifies you as an individual. Since, in general, we process your data pseudonymously, unless otherwise necessary for the performance of our contractual services towards your Organization, we would have to process additional personal data in order to identify you. This is typically not necessary and not intended within the purposes of our services. Therefore we are generally not obliged to collect or process such additional data (Art. 11 (2) GDPR) and Art. 15 to 20 GDPR will not apply.
Generally, we recommend that you contact your Organization directly for your requests for information and the assertion of your rights as a data subject. After all, your Organization as the operator and/or owner of the machine may take the appropriate measures and provide you with further information.
6 Which WIRTGEN GROUP entity is your data controller?
The data controller for your information is KLEEMANN GmbH, Manfred-Wörner-Straße 160, 73037 Göppingen, Germany.
You can contact our data protection officer via: datenschutz@kleemann.info
In addition to the above, your data is shared with WIRTGEN GROUP Affiliates.

1 What data do we collect?
We collect and process personal data about you when you interact with us and our products while using the SPECTIVE CONNECT App.
We strive to provide you with the best possible experience. To improve our products and their usability, we are using analytics technologies from 3rd parties. The information collected doesn’t allow us to identify you but helps analyze crashes, bugs, and relevant information to improve and enhance the quality of our products and services. Any collected location information doesn’t allow any exact identification of your location or person and helps us to optimize the product for regional usage. You have the possibility to disable this tracking and analytics functionality via the settings in your licensed Application.
We have no access to other data because they are stored only on your device.
2 For what purposes and on what legal basis do we use your data?
We process this personal data for the following purposes:
3 Who will we share your data with?
We share your information with the following recipients:
Personal data may be shared with government authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law, or if required for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws.
As an end user (e.g. as an employee or driver) please refer to your Organization as the operator and/or owner of the machine to find out how it transfers your data on its part.
4 Where will we send your data?

These rights may be limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement or compelling legitimate grounds to process your data. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you object to our data processing or withdraw your consent.
Where we require personal data to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship, or to meet obligations placed on us. In all other cases, provision of requested personal data is optional.
If you want to exercise your rights regarding your personal data applicable to you, you can contact the data protection officer whose contact details can be found below.
In the event you have unresolved concerns, depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint over the
Personal Data Complaint Form

Please note that we can only answer requests regarding rights applicable to you, if the data on which your request is based clearly identifies you as an individual. Since, in general, we process your data pseudonymously, unless otherwise necessary for the performance of our contractual services towards your Organization, we would have to process additional personal data in order to identify you. This is typically not necessary and not intended within the purposes of our services. Therefore we are generally not obliged to collect or process such additional data.
Generally, we recommend that you contact your Organization directly for your requests for information and the assertion of your rights as a data subject applicable to you.

III. Data Processing by Wirtgen
We maintain online profiles on social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with users who are active on these platforms or to provide information about our company. If you have an account on one of the networks listed below, are logged in, and choose to follow our page, you will be visible to us as a follower. As a result, we will process the personal data contained in your profile name and profile picture.
We process the same data when you like, comment on, or share a post of ours, even if you do not follow our page.
Furthermore, we process the same data if you send us a message via the messaging feature. In this context, we additionally process the data that you voluntarily provide to us in your messages.
In addition, we receive anonymized statistical data about the users of these pages through features such as “Facebook Insights,” a service provided by Facebook that you cannot opt out of. This data is collected with the help of cookies that Facebook saves on your system. These cookies each contain a unique user code that may also be linked to your profile on the platform. Such tools are also used by other social networks.
This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
We do not perform any further analysis of your data beyond the aforementioned. We save your data as long as you follow our page. If you stop following our page, we will no longer process your data.
IV. Data Processing by the Operators of the Social Networks
We would like to expressly inform you that user data may be processed outside the territory of the European Union. This may result in privacy risks for users as data subjects that could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce the rights of data subjects.
Furthermore, user data on social networks is usually processed by the platform operators for market research and advertising purposes. For example, they may create usage profiles based on user behavior and the resulting interests of the users. These usage profiles can, in turn, be used, for example, to serve ads to users within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the users’ interests. Cookies are usually saved on the users’ computers for these purposes, which are then used to save the user’s usage behavior and interests. Furthermore, data may also be saved in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
For a detailed explanation of the respective forms of processing and the options to opt out, please refer to the privacy statements and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.
In addition, in the case of requests for information and to exercise your rights as a data subject, we would like to point out that the most effective way to exercise these rights is to contact the providers directly. Only the providers have access to their users’ data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, feel free to contact us, however.
