Controller
Thank you for visiting a website operated by Volkswagen AG, Berliner Ring 2, 38440 Wolfsburg, Germany, kundenbetreuung@volkswagen.de, listed in the register of companies at the District Court of Braunschweig under no. HRB 100484 (“Volkswagen AG”). In the section below, we would like to inform you about the collection, processing and use of your data.

General information
It is possible to visit Volkswagen AG websites without providing us with any information about your identity.
Unless otherwise specified here, your data is processed exclusively by Volkswagen AG.

Collection, processing and use of your personal data

When conducting work with the ODIS Self-Service Guide information tool, the following items of your data may be processed:

·        IT usage data (user ID)

·        professional contact data (first name, surname, department etc.)

Your data is processed for the purposes of prior registration on the Group Retail Portal. Another check is also performed to determine whether you are permitted to access the ODIS Self-Service Guide information tool. This requires the correct assignment of rights in the CMS.

The processing of this data takes place in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in allowing only authorised users to view the content of the site.

The data will be deleted after 30 days at the earliest. The data will be deleted if storage is no longer required for the purpose in question, but in any case after you let us know that you wish for your data to be deleted.

Use of cookies

Volkswagen AG uses various cookies on its web pages. Cookies are small files containing configuration information and are saved on your computer. Cookies can essentially be divided into three categories. There are cookies that are essential for the functionality of the website (referred to as functional cookies), cookies that make it easier to use a website and, for example, save your language settings (referred to as convenience cookies), and cookies on the basis of which a pseudonymised user profile is created (referred to as tracking cookies).

Functional cookies have to be processed to allow you to visit the web page (see Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

The legal basis for the use of convenience cookies in the sense of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is the existence of legitimate interest. The provision of a convenience when using a website constitutes the legitimate interest in this regard.

Tracking cookies are only used if the website visitor has consented to this (see Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Consent is provided via the cookie banner, which has to be actively clicked to do this.

You can find more information on our use of cookies in our cookie guidelines: Cookie Guidelines

Your Rights
You can exercise your rights, as listed below, against Volkswagen AG free of charge at any time. You can obtain further information about asserting your rights in section E.

• Right to information: You have the right to obtain information from us regarding the processing of your personal data.
• Right to rectification: You have the right to obtain from us the rectification of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning yourself.
• Right to erasure: You have the right to obtain erasure of your data if the conditions set out in Article 17 of the GDPR are met. For example, you may ask for your data to be deleted if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. You may also request the deletion of your data if we process your data based on your consent and you revoke that consent.
• Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to ask for a restriction of the processing of your data if the conditions set out in Article 18 of the GDPR are met. This is the case, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of your data. You can then demand a restriction of processing for the period it takes to verify the accuracy of the data.

Right to objection:

You have the right to object to the processing of your data if processing is based on an overriding interest or your data is used for direct advertising purposes. An objection is permitted if processing is conducted in either the public interest or for the exercise of official authority, or if it is conducted for a legitimate interest of Volkswagen AG or of a third party. If you object to the processing of your data, please notify us of the grounds for your objection. You also have the right to object to data processing for the purposes of direct marketing. The same applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to direct marketing.

• Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another data processor, provided that data processing is based on consent or contract fulfilment and that automated processing methods are used.
• Right to withdraw consent: If the data processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent with effect for the future at any time, free of charge.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of your data with a supervisory authority (such as the Data Protection Commissioner for the State of Lower Saxony).
