The interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the applicants do not outweigh the first-mentioned interests.

The same applies to the transfer of your data within the Porsche Group for answering and forwarding inquiries.

Definition of personal data

The concept of personal data is defined in the Federal Data Protection Act. Accordingly, these are individual details of the personal or factual circumstances of a certain or definable natural person. This includes, for example, your real name, address, telephone number or date of birth.

The EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO), which will enter into force in May 2018, defines personal data as follows: 

All information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"); a natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more specific characteristics, the expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that person.

Collection and processing of personal data

Personal data is only collected if you provide it on your own initiative, for example to carry out an contract, a survey, a competition or to register for personalised services. There you will be informed about the intended processing purpose and, if necessary, asked for your consent to the storage. 

The personal data collected within the scope of our web pages will only be used without your consent for the purposes of order processing or processing of your enquiries and will be passed on to the responsible group company if necessary. In addition, your data be used based on your consent in a centrally managed customer and prospect database managed under the responsibility of Porsche AG and your data will be merged in the Porsche Group. The use of this data is restricted to advertising and market and opinion research purposes and is exclusively possible for Porsche Group companies and the Porsche dealer organisation within the Federal Republic of Germany. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Your data will not be sold, rented or made available to third parties in any way other than as described here. Personal data will only be transmitted to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory national legal provisions. Our employees, agencies and dealers are bound by us to strictest confidentiality.

Contact

You can contact us via our e-mail address or the contact form. Of course, we will only use the transmitted personal data for the purpose for which you provide it to us when contacting us.

If we request information via our contact form that is not required for contacting us, we have always indicated this as optional. This information will help us to clarify your enquiry and improve the handling of your request. This information is provided on a voluntary basis and with your consent. If this information relates to communication channels (e. g. e-mail address, telephone number), you further agree that we may also contact you via this communication channel in order to answer your request.

Of course, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. For this purpose, please contact our Group Data Protection Officer whose contact details you will find below.

Data transfer

As a matter of principle, your data will not be transferred to third parties outside the Porsche Group, unless we are obliged to do so by law, unless the transfer of data is required to carry out the contractual relationship, or you have given your express prior consent to the transfer of your data. External service providers and partner companies will only receive your data if this is necessary for the processing of your enquiry. In these cases, however, the amount of data transmitted is limited to the minimum required. Insofar as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure that they comply with the provisions of the data protection laws in the same way. Please also note the respective data protection information of the providers. The respective service provider is responsible for the contents of external services, whereby we carry out a check of the services for compliance with the legal requirements within the scope of reasonableness.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services associated with the use of the website and the Internet.

Since the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information has agreed with Google on the basis of the Düsseldorf Circle's decision to design analysis methods for measuring the reach of Internet offerings in accordance with data protection regulations, it has been possible to use Google Analytics in compliance with data protection regulations and without any objections under certain conditions. We naturally adhere to these prerequisites. In particular, we would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "gat. _anonymizeIp ();" in order to guarantee an anonymous capture of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Your IP address will be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google Analytics also uses so-called "cookies". The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Remarketing or "similar target group" function of Google Inc.

This website uses Google's AdWords remarketing or similar target group function. This function is designed to enable users of our website and other users with similar interests to display targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising based on their online user behavior when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network or perform a Google search. When our advertisements appear on these sites, we receive information about how often you visit those sites, such as how often our ad was viewed, how many clicks and visits were generated by a particular ad, and what content was viewed after clicking on an ad on our site. 

This interest-based advertising is based on an analysis of online user behaviour. Google uses cookies to perform this analysis. 

Cookies are used to record visits to the website by means of a unique identification of a web browser on a specific computer and not to identify a person. All data are stored by using a pseudonym, so that a conclusion on the person of the user and thus a personal identification is not possible without further ado. 

For more information about Google Remarketing and similar target groups, please visit: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2676774?hl=en

Google Tag Manager

For reasons of transparency we would like to point out that we use the Google Tag Manager. The Google Tag Manager does not collect any personal data itself. The Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small code elements that are used to measure traffic and visitor behavior, measure the impact of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and targeting, test and optimize websites. We use the Tag Manager for the Google Analytics and GA Audience services. If you've made a deactivation, Google Tag Manager will take this into account.

These are only included on our website as links to the corresponding services. After clicking on the integrated graphic, you will be redirected to the page of the respective provider, i. e. only then will user information be transferred to the respective provider.
