§ 3 What are personal data?
Personal data are individual details about personal or factual situations of a specific or identifiable natural person (data subject). This includes information such as your name, address, phone number, date of birth, or e-mail address. Information with which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by making the information anonymous, is not personal data.
§ 4 General information on data processing
a) Scope
We only collect and use our users' personal data if and to the extent needed to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. We use your personal data to provide the services you need, to answer your questions and to operate and improve our websites and applications.
Your personal data is not used for any other purpose, especially not for advertising purposes. Your personal data shall not be transferred to third parties without your consent, except in the cases described below, unless we are legally obliged to provide the data.
b) Legal basis
If we obtain the consent of the data subject to his/her process personal data, Art. 6, Section 1a, of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis for processing said data. Art. 6, Section 1b, of the GDPR serves as legal basis for processing the personal data required to execute a contract to which the data subject is a party. Article 6, Section 1c, of the GDPR serves as legal basis for processing the personal data required to fulfil a legal obligation of our company.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6, Section 1f, of the GDPR shall serve as legal basis for processing.
c) Data erasure and storage time
Your personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. However, the data may be stored if provided for by European or national laws or other statutory provisions to which the controller is subject. The data shall be blocked or erased at the end of a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards, unless the data needs to be stored further in order to conclude or implement a contract.
§ 5 Individual processing operations
You can use a large part of our website without providing your personal data. Access data without personal reference, such as the name of your Internet service provider, the page from which you are visiting us, the names of the files required and their retrieval date are stored. These data are exclusively evaluated for the purpose of improving our website and do not allow any conclusions regarding your person. These data are:
- Browser type and version
- The operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the computer used for access
- Names of the requested files
- Date and time of server request
- IP address
However, if you wish to use the services we offer on our website, such as ordering a newsletter, etc., you will have to provide further data. For details, refer to the description of specific data processing operations below. In particular, personal data are used as follows:
a) Ordering print media
On our website we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data, for example, to receive print media. The data are recorded in a contact form, sent to us and stored. The data are not transferred to third parties.
The registration is required to order the print media and must, thus, be handled as quasi-contractual relationship. The personal data required for registration are used exclusively to process the order. The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case while registering to execute a contract or to take pre-contractual measures if the data are no longer required for the pursuit of the quasi-contractual relationship. Even after concluding the contract, it may still be necessary to store your personal data in order to fulfil contractual or legal obligations.
b) Newsletter
MTU Aero Engines offers you the opportunity to register for e-mail newsletters on specific topics. To register for our e-mail newsletter, we need your consent and your e-mail address to which the newsletter will be sent.
The following data are also collected upon registration:
- IP address
- Registration date and time / Confirmation date and time (DOI)
- Date of the user's last action
- Opt-in methods
- Country
- Registration page used
- List membership (different recipient lists)
- User’s Opt-in status
- Browser type and version
The legal basis for processing data after the user is registered for the newsletter is Art. 6, Section 1a, of the GDPR. We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure to send newsletters, i.e. we will only send you the newsletter if you confirm your registration beforehand via a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose from a link contained therein. This is to ensure that only you can subscribe to the newsletter as the owner of the e-mail address provided. Your confirmation must be sent shortly after receipt of the confirmation e-mail, otherwise your newsletter subscription will be automatically deleted from our database.
When registering for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used to keep you informed until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Other personal data are collected as part of the registration process in order to prevent a misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.
To unsubscribe, you can use the link at the end of the newsletter.
You can revoke your consent to the collection of other personal data collected during the registration process at any time.
The data is passed on to service providers for data processing in connection with the dispatch of newsletters. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
c) Newsletter for investor relations
MTU Aero Engines offers you the opportunity to register for IR newsletters. In addition to your consent, we require your name and e-mail address for this purpose.
The data is collected via a contact form (see below section e) "Contact forms").
When registering for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used to keep you informed until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Other personal data are collected as part of the registration process in order to prevent a misuse of the services or the e-mail address used. The data is passed on to third parties for storage in a database. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter; they will not be used by MTU Aero Engines or the third party for any other purpose.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.
To unsubscribe, you can use the link at the end of the newsletter.
You can revoke your consent to the collection of other personal data collected during the registration process at any time.
d) Contact forms
For the purpose of data processing, reference is made to this privacy policy in the contact form. Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, your personal data sent in by e-mail will be stored.
In this context, the data is not disclosed to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for processing the data transmitted alongside an e-mail is Art. 6, Section 1a, of the GDPR. We process personal data from the contact form only for the purpose of processing the establishment of contact.
e) “Mediapool” database
MTU Aero Engines offers you the opportunity to sign up for access to the media database. In the media database, you will find photos and video clips. The data are captured using a contact form, transmitted to us, and stored.
Upon completion of the registration process, the user will be sent a confirmation link that they have to click to confirm their registration. The system administrator will subsequently activate the account and the user will receive a confirmation message, or they will be notified if their registration has been denied. Users can view and change the data provided during the registration process and their password in the respective user profile.
Registration serves to enable access to the media database and must, thus, be handled as quasi-contractual relationship. The personal data to be entered for registration are needed exclusively for access to the media database. The deletion of the account can be requested by sending an email to mediapool@mtu.de, and the account will be deleted immediately.
The media database uses so-called “cookies”, which are sent by the web server to your browser during your visit to our media database and are stored on your computer for later retrieval. The media database uses cookies to manage the user session (one new cookie per session).
