3. Plugins

Our online offers include the use of plugins provided by various social and other networks. These plugins are additional features made available by the network providers. As a default setting, these plugins are inactive.

To enhance the protection of your data when visiting our website, we use a “2-click solution” to integrate the plugins into the page. This 2-click solution keeps your visit to our websites from being recorded and possibly evaluated by the providers of the respective plugins by default.

If you do not wish the providers of the respective networks to receive data about your use of this online offer and possibly to store or further use this data, you should not activate the respective plugins.

• Activating plugins
  You yourself can decide whether you want to interact with the respective provider’s network and whether your data is to be transmitted to the respective provider or not. Only if you click on the button provided (“Agree”) will the respective plugin be activated and integrated into the page, and the content of the respective plugin be transmitted from the server of the associated provider directly to your browser. A second click will then allow you to perform the desired interaction with the network. If you decide to activate a plugin, you give us permission to process your data based on your consent.
• Collection of data by providers
  When a plugin is activated, your internet browser establishes a direct connection to the respective provider’s servers. Even if you do not have a user account with the provider or are not currently logged in to such an account, this connection notifies the respective provider that your internet browser has called up the corresponding page of our online offer.
  If you already have a user account with a provider of a network and are already logged in when you visit our websites, the operator of the respective network may be able to assign the visit to your personal user account as soon as you activate plugins. This may enable the provider to analyze your usage behavior and store it in a profile.
  In addition, your IP address and other data about your browser settings will be transmitted by your internet browser directly to a server of the respective provider and may be stored there.
• Further processing of data by providers
  Plugins are additional features made available by network providers. We therefore have no influence on the further processing of the data that the respective network providers’ plugins collect and store.
  To find out more about the purpose and scope of each provider’s activities to collect, further process, and delete data, as well as about your respective rights and data protection options, please consult the respective provider’s privacy policy.
• Deactivate the plugin
  If you activate a plugin, the activation applies to the specific plugin only, and only for as long as you visit the page into which the plugin is integrated. If you no longer wish to use an activated plugin, it can be deactivated by reloading the website. Please note that this does not affect data that has already been transmitted. 

We use plugins from the providers listed below:

3.1 YouTube

This online offer uses the YouTube video platform, which is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“YouTube”). YouTube is a platform that enables the playback of audio and video files.

In order to enhance your data protection when visiting our website, the YouTube content is integrated into the page in “enhanced privacy mode.”

This means that the video will only be loaded and a connection to YouTube, including a transmission of log data to YouTube, only established once the corresponding plugin has been activated. If the plugin is activated, data will also be transmitted to YouTube and the Google DoubleClick advertising network contacted. This may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control. If the YouTube video is loaded, cookies are also used.

To find out more about the scope and purpose of YouTube’s activities to collect, further process, and use data, about possible transfers of personal data to third countries such as the United States, about your rights and the data protection options available to you, please consult YouTube’s privacy policy.

4. Communication tools on social media platforms

We use on our social media platform (Twitter and LinkedIn) communication tools to process your messages sent via this social media platform and to offer you support.

When sending a message via our social media platform the message is processed to handle your query (and if necessary additional data, which we receive from the social media provider in connection with this message as your name or files). In addition, we can analyze these data in an aggregated and anonymized form in order to better understand how our social media platform is used.

We will forward the personal data you provide to the Bosch legal entity responsible for the processing of your query (for example, in the event your query refers to a product that is distributed by another Bosch legal entity). The legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or, if applicable, an existing contractual relationship (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). The processed personal data is deleted 180 days upon receipt of your message the latest.

5. Further information on data processing

Effective date: 2025/04/22

We offer free web seminars in which we inform you about our products and answer questions. We use the Bosch Tube tool or Microsoft Teams for this purpose. You can find more information about Bosch Tube here.

When registering and conducting the web seminars, personal data is processed. The following privacy policy applies:

1. Collection, processing and use of personal data by Robert Bosch Manufacturing Solutions GmbH

1.1 Processing purposes
We use Bosch Tube or Microsoft Teams to conduct web seminars.

1.2 Categories of data processed

1.2.1 Data processing in the context of registration
If participation in a web seminar is desired, we ask you to register. Registration for Bosch Tube takes place via our contact form. To register for Microsoft Teams, please use the event link. In the course of registration, we collect the personal data (e.g., such as first name, last name, e-mail address, company, and possibly other data on a voluntary basis) required for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract. We indicate required data with an *). After submitting the contact form (in case of using Bosch Tube), you will be redirected to a website that contains the link for participation in the web seminar. You can access this link on the day of the web seminar and then join the web seminar.

1.2.2 Data processing in the context of participation in and conduction of the web seminar
In the course of conducting the web seminar, the following categories of data are processed:

• Communication data (e.g., IP address, surname, first name)
• Log Data
  • Internet address of the website from which the online offer was accessed (the so-called origin or referrer URL)
  • Name of the service provider used to access the online offer
  • Name of the retrieved files or information
  • Date and time and duration of the retrieval
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Operating system and information about the Internet browser used, including installed add-ons (e.g., for Flash Player)
  • http status code (e.g., "request successful" or "requested file not found")
• Meeting data (e.g., meeting topic, date and time of the web seminar. For in-house Bosch participants, the Bosch NT user is also processed)
• Text data
  • Participants who do not belong to the Bosch group (external third parties): If you use the chat function in Bosch Tube, the text contents are processed anonymously, because the identifier "Guest" is assigned to you. This differs from Microsoft Teams. Here, all participants are informed of your name. The questions asked are not visible to the other participants.
  • Participation as a Bosch associate: If you use the chat function, the text contents as well as the NT user are processed. The questions asked are not visible to the other participants.
• Audio and video: Web seminar participants are muted and cannot use the audio or video features.

1.2.3. Recording of the web seminar to provide replay
Some of our web seminars are recorded so that they can be replayed afterwards. You can also access the recorded web seminar via the link you will receive after submitting the contact form. In order to retrieve the link, it is not necessary to log in again. The categories of data processed during the recording can be found in 1.2.2. In case the web seminar in which you participate is recorded, we expressly point this out.

2. Legal basis for data processing

2.1 Legal basis for registration
Participation in our web seminar requires registration by filling out and submitting our contact form or via the link provided. We process your personal data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO (contract).

2.2 Legal basis for conducting and recording the web seminar
As a participant in our web seminar, you must accept the so-called "web seminar terms of use." This will create a contractual relationship with us. The legal basis under data protection law for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO (contract).

If you are a speaker or model for our web seminar, you will conclude a model release contract with us. This will create a contractual relationship with us. The legal basis under data protection law for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO (contract). In addition, you can view the relevant data protection information for Bosch Group employees on the Bosch intranet.

3. Transfer to recipients outside the EEA
We may also disclose personal data to recipients who are based outside the EEA in so-called third countries. In this case, we will ensure before the transfer that either an adequate level of data protection exists on the part of the recipient or that your consent to the transfer has been obtained.
You can obtain from us an overview of the recipients in the third countries and a copy of the specifically agreed upon arrangements for ensuring an adequate level of data protection. Please use the information in the Contact section for this purpose.

4. Duration of storage; retention periods
As a matter of principle, we will store your data for as long as is necessary to conduct our web seminar and the associated services, or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it. Afterwards, we will delete your personal data with the exception of data that we must continue to store in order to fulfill legal obligations (e.g., we are obligated to retain documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period of time due to retention periods that are required under tax and commercial law).

6. Further information on data processing
