IV. Collection, processing and use of personal data
Personal data means all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. This includes e.g. your name, address, phone number or email.
Personal data is only collected, processed and/or used if you voluntarily disclose this information to us, e.g. to establish, structure or amend a contractual relationship between you and CLAAS Industrietechnik, to register for personalised services or if you send us an enquiry on our website. Personal data will otherwise only be used if you have given us your prior consent, e.g. to receive advertising and market research.
The following describes the services and contact channels through which CLAAS Industrietechnik collects, processes and uses personal data in connection with operating the website. It also informs you of the purposes of data processing.

V. Erasure of personal data
CLAAS Industrietechnik processes and stores personal data concerning the data subject only for the period that is necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European body issuing regulations and directives or in laws or regulations by another legislator to which the controller is subject. The personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions if the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European body issuing regulations and directives or another competent legislator expires.
VI. Voluntary disclosure of personal data
When you voluntarily disclose data to us, e.g. in forms, and this data is not required for the performance of our contractual obligations, we will process this data based on our assumption that processing and use of this data is in your interests.
VII. Storage of personal data
CLAAS Industrietechnik stores your data on specially protected servers. They are protected by technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, alteration or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons. Only very few authorised persons have access to your data. They are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers. Nonetheless, complete protection against all risks is not possible, despite regular checks.
Data transfers via the Internet from the website and your entries on the CLAAS Industrietechnik website are unencrypted as a rule. It is therefore impossible to exclude the possibility that third parties may become able to view and/or access the transferred data. CLAAS advises you to consider this aspect when deciding whether to transfer data via the Internet and which data you wish to transfer.
VIII. Recipients of data/transfer of your data
As a rule, we do not transfer to third parties data that you disclose to us. In particular, we do not transfer data to third parties for their marketing purposes.
CLAAS Industrietechnik may nevertheless use service providers to operate these web pages or for other products by CLAAS Industrietechnik. It is possible in this context that a service provider may acquire knowledge of personal data. We select our service providers carefully – especially in regard to data protection and security – and implement all measures required by data protection laws to ensure reliable data processing.
IX. Transfer of data to a third country or an international organisation
Data is not transferred to third countries (states outside the European Economic Area – EEA).
