Collection, processing and usage of personal data
Processed categories of data
The following categories of data are processed:
• Communication data (e.g. name, e-mail, IP address)
• User profile details (e.g. company, job title)
• Requests for security reasons (e.g. Date/time of the request, App page requested)
• Collection/processing of other data during use of the features of the Bosch Event App (e.g. images, videos, messages, marked agenda sessions, bookmarks, results from surveys and polls, leaderboard)

If an event (or workspace or campaign) uses an Activity challenge advanced module that includes step count data, and participants allow the use of step count on their devices, this data is collected solely to foster engagement. The data is used only within the scope of the challenge for this specific event, reported in aggregate form, and is not retained or processed as health-related data or personal activity profiles.

Principles
Personal data consists of all information related to an identified or identifiable natural person, this includes, e.g. names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, contractual master data, contract accounting and payment data, which is an expression of a person's identity.
We collect, process and use personal data (including IP addresses) only when there is either a statutory legal basis to do so or you have given your consent to the processing or use of personal data concerning this matter, e.g. by means of registration.
Processing purposes and legal bases
We and service providers commissioned by us process your personal data for the following processing purposes:
– Provision of these Online Offers (Legal basis: Consent).
– Operation of a community for signed-in members for the purpose of communication and information (Legal basis: Consent)
– Usage analysis to the extent permitted by law (legal basis: legitimate interest on our part in the analysis of app usage)
Registration
If you wish to use/access benefits that require the formation of a contract, we request that you register. Within the scope of the registration we collect personal data necessary for the formation and the fulfillment of the contract (e.g., first name, last name, email address, name of the event for which you would like to use the app and which you are registering for) as well as, if applicable, additional data on a voluntary basis. Mandatory statements are marked with a *.
Log files
Every time you use the app certain information will be transmitted which we store in so-called log files.
We save log files for a short time solely to determine disturbances and for security reasons (e.g., to clarify attack attempts) and then we delete them afterwards. Log files which need to be maintained for evidence purposes are excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been completely resolved and may, on a case-by-case basis, be passed on to investigating authorities.
Log files are also used for analysis purposes (without or without complete IP address).
In log files, the following information in particular is being saved:
– Date/time of the request
– App page requested
Children
This Online Offer is not for children under 16 years of age.
Data transfer
Data transfer to other controllers
Your personal data is principally forwarded to other controllers only when required for the fulfillment of a contract, in the case where we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the transfer, or when your consent has been given. This is e.g. the case, when you register for an event offered by another Bosch Group Company. Particulars on the legal bases can be found in the Section - Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases. Third parties may also be other companies of the Bosch group. When data is transferred to third parties based on a justified interest, this is explained in this data protection notice.
Additionally, data may be transferred to other controllers when we are obliged to do so due to statutory regulations or enforceable administrative or judicial orders.
Service providers (general)
We have commissioned external service providers with tasks such as programming, data hosting and hotline services. We have chosen these service providers carefully and review them regularly, especially regarding their diligent handling of and protection of the data that they have saved. All service providers are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to abide by the statutory provisions. Service providers may also be other Bosch group companies.
Transfer to recipients outside the EEA
We can also transfer personal data to recipients located outside the EEA in so-called third countries. In such cases, we ensure prior to the transfer either that the data recipient provides an appropriate level of data protection (e.g., due to a decision of adequacy by the European Commission for the respective country or due to the agreement based on so-called EU model clauses with the recipient) or that you have consented to the transfer.
You are entitled to receive an overview of third country recipients and a copy of the specifically agreed-to provisions securing an appropriate level of data protection. For this purpose, please use the statements made in the Contact section.
Duration of storage; retention periods
Duration of storage, retention periods
Principally, we store your data for as long as it is necessary to render our Online Offers and connected services or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing the data. In all other cases we delete your personal data with the exception of data we are obliged to store for the fulfillment of legal obligations (e.g. we may be required by applicable national law to store Your data for a certain period of time). This is usually the case within three months from the end of the event.
Processing of your location data
Our offers also include so-called location based services through which we provide you with special offers that are tailored to your respective location. To offer this app function, we collect the last three GPS locations delivered by the mobile device and your IP address when you consent. We do not create a movement profile. You can deactivate this function in the respective app's settings or in the settings of the operating system of your mobile device or pause it temporarily without affecting the basic functionality of the app.
App analysis
We need statistical information on the usage of our Online Offers to perform range measurements and to analyze the usability of the app. For this purpose, we analyze the usage of the app anonymized and accumulated.
External links
Our Online Offers may contain links to third party internet pages – by providers who are not related to us. Upon clicking the link, we have no influence on collecting, processing and using personal data possibly transmitted by clicking the link to the third party (such as the IP address or the URL of the site on which the link is located) as the behavior of third parties is naturally outside our supervision. We do not assume responsibility for the processing of such personal data by third parties.

We take all necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure an appropriate level of security and to protect your data that are administrated by us especially from the risks of unintended or unlawful destruction, manipulation, loss, change or unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized access.
