7 RECIPIENTS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

7.1 Recipients within the BASF Group and BOSCH Group

In certain cases, we share your personal data with other companies in the BASF Group and BOSCH Group (hereinafter „BASF and BOSCH companies“). Processing by these BASF and BOSCH companies is done regularly on our behalf. The processing of your personal data may also be carried out under the sole controllership of the BASF and BOSCH company receiving your data or under the joint controllership of that company with us.

If we share your personal data with other controllers, this will in principle be done only if this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in this or if you have agreed to this.

Processing of your personal data by another BASF and BOSCH company on our behalf is carried out on the basis of a contract for processing data on behalf of a controller within the meaning of the GDPR.

In the case of joint controllership, we shall conclude an agreement on processing under joint controllership. This agreement shall lay down, inter alia, the obligations of the joint controllers in relation to compliance with the requirements of the GDPR. We shall be happy to provide you with the essential elements of this agreement on request. To this end, please contact us using the contact details that can be found in section 1 of this Privacy Notice.

In addition to recipients in the BASF and BOSCH companies, we also share your personal data with third parties, in respect of individual processing operations and taking into account the data protection requirements. These third parties include service providers that process your personal data on our behalf and service providers that provide services for us that are associated with the processing of your personal data. The processing of your personal data may also be carried out under the sole controllership of the third parties receiving your data or under the joint controllership of those third parties with us.

If we share your personal data with other controllers, this will in principle be done only if this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, if we or the third party have a legitimate interest in this or if you have consented to this.

8 TRANSFER OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

Regardless of where your personal data are processed, our highest priority is to always ensure the level of protection guaranteed by the GDPR.

If we transfer personal data to recipients outside the European Economic Area, we comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR. If we work with third parties or use service providers that may transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, we shall oblige those third parties or service providers to comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR.

We point out that not all countries outside the European Economic Area have a level of data protection that is recognised as adequate by the European Commission (so-called “adequacy decision”). A list of the countries for which an adequacy decision has been adopted can be found at the following link: Adequacy decisions (europa.eu).

Where an adequacy decision has not been adopted, we conclude the standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission with the recipients of your personal data ((EU) 2021/914 of 4 April 2021 – C (2021) 3972, OJ EU No L 199/31 of 7 June 2021). For transfer to other controllers, we use Module One of these standard contractual clauses and for transfer to our processors we use Module Two. If necessary, in addition to concluding the standard contractual clauses we shall also take additional measures to protect your personal data.

You can ask us for an overview of recipients in countries outside the European Economic Area and for information on the measures we have taken to ensure the level of protection of the GDPR at any time using the contact details specified in section 1 of this Privacy Notice.
