If you have any privacy concerns relating to an independent dealer then please contact the relevant dealer directly.

This Privacy Policy applies to customers, potential customers, suppliers, service providers, dealers, contractors, secondees, potential employees, temporary staff and generally does not apply in relation to our current or former employees.

2.5 Cookies, Tracking and Retargeting Technologies

2.5.1 General

Cookies: for further information about what cookies are and how we use them, please refer to our Cookie Policy on our website.

Tracking technologies: We want the content of our websites to match your preferences as closely as possible thereby improving what we offer you. To recognise user preferences and popular areas of our websites, we use the following Tracking technologies on our websites: Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics.

Important: When Tracking technologies are used, cookies on our websites register your interest in our products and services. In the process, random identifiers (so called “Cookie IDs) are used which are brought into connection with your name, your address or similar personally identifiable information that we may already hold (e.g. from an existing contractual relationship). On this basis, if you have already provided us with personally identifiable information, by consenting to the use of Tracking technologies you are consenting to us associating your browsing activity on our websites to you personally.

Retargeting technologies: We also use so-called Retargeting technologies in order to tailor our online marketing (e.g. banner ads) more specifically to your needs and interests. Such technologies include: Adobe Target, Flashtalking by Simplicity Marketing Limited, Google Search Ad, Google Display & Video 360, Facebook Pixel, and Salesforce Data Management Platform. These Retargeting technologies track your activity on our websites and third party websites to help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively.

For Retargeting technologies, we do not bring any Cookie IDs into connection with personally identifiable information that we may already hold (such as your name, your address or similar). If we do wish to associate this data, we will first obtain your express consent.

For legal reasons, the use of Tracking and Retargeting technologies is sometimes only possible with your express consent. You can also object to the use of such technologies if you wish (see 2.5.2 [Managing Preferences]).

Further information about the above technologies from the respective providers, and the associated processing of personal data, can be found at the following links (Please refer to our Cookie Policy on our website).

2.5.2 Managing preferences

You can manage and deactivate the use of cookies on the above websites or in your browser as explained in our Cookie Policy.

All other cookies: For all other cookies, by simply using our Websites, you consent to the use of cookies.

If you do not wish for us to use cookies, you can permanently object to the practice (“Opt-Out”) at any time. To find out more, please visit our Cookie Policy.

We will comply with your objection by placing an Opt-Out cookie in your browser. This cookie will only indicate that you have opted out. Please note that for technical reasons, an Opt-Out cookie affects only the browser in which it has been installed. If you delete the cookie or use a different browser or device, you will need to opt out again.

2.5.3 Data transmission to so-called third countries

When using Tracking and Retargeting technologies, data may be transmitted to recipients outside New Zealand.

3. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

3.1 Integrity and quality of personal information

We take reasonable care to ensure that personal information we use, store and subsequently destroy/delete (where relevant) meets certain quality requirements, in that the personal information is accurate, up to date and complete.

We will take reasonable care to ensure our database storage and service providers and cloud service providers hold your information in accordance with the Privacy Act.

3.2 Security of personal information

While care is taken to protect your personal information, unfortunately no data transmission over the internet is guaranteed as being 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us or receive from us online. That is particularly true for information you send to us via email as we have no way of protecting the information until it reaches us. Once we receive your personal information, we are required to protect it in accordance with the Privacy Act.
MBNZ follows the Mercedes-Benz Group global policies, guidelines and standards to secure your information. We continually train and remind our staff of the importance of keeping information safe and secure. We have adopted active security measures to ensure that your personal information is kept safe from unauthorised or accidental access, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction and actions which prevent us from accessing your personal information on a temporary or permanent basis (each event being a "Privacy Breach"). These measures include:

(a) System security: Our application systems are password protected and can be accessed only by people authorised to do so. Our policies require us to encrypt confidential information, for instance, when you provide information to us using our website or when you send information from your computer to us. Security is inbuilt into the design and operations of our systems through the use of firewalls, ethical hacking and virus scanning tools.

(b) Physical security: Our premises are protected against unauthorised access by way of access card for entry, cameras, alarms and security services.

(c) Data retention: If personal information is no longer required for the purpose for which we are permitted to use, disclose or legally retain it, then we will permanently remove from a record any information by which an individual may be identified in order to prevent future re-identification from the data available. We retain information as long as needed to comply with the law or our own corporate policies and procedures.

Whilst we seek to keep your personal information secure, errors may occur from time to time and we will act quickly to investigate them and implement measures to avoid them from happening again (where possible). We will at no time sell, rent or trade your personal information to or with any other unrelated entity.

If your personal information is subject to a Privacy Breach which causes or is likely to cause serious harm, we will notify you and the Privacy Commissioner in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act.

4. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not under our control. These websites may use cookies. It is the responsibility of those third parties to collect appropriate consents from you in order to permit their own cookies (to the extent this is required by law) and to inform you about the cookies they use. You should check the privacy policy on all third party websites to ensure you are comfortable with third party cookies.
We have no responsibility for linked websites, and provide them solely for your information and convenience. We specifically disclaim responsibility for their content, privacy practices and terms of use, and we make no endorsements, representations or warranties about their accuracy, content or thoroughness. Your disclosure of personal information to third party websites is at your own risk.

5. ACCESS, CORRECTION, COMPLAINTS AND ENQUIRIES

We take reasonable steps to ensure that information we collect, hold, use or disclose about you is accurate, complete and up to date.

5.1 Access to information we hold about you

At any time you can request access to information we hold about you. We aim to respond to your request within 30 days. We may charge a reasonable fee for information requests. Whilst we are obliged to provide you with access to your information, there are exceptions and those are outlined in the Privacy Act. If one of the exceptions applies to your access request, we will (if reasonable in the circumstances) work with you and attempt to provide you with access in a way to meet both of our needs. If it is reasonable in the circumstances, we will also notify you in writing if we have determined to refuse access to your personal information due to one of the exceptions listed above and the reasons for that refusal.

5.2 Correction of information we hold about you

We also encourage you to actively engage with us and let us know when your details change or if your personal information needs correction or updating via our contact information provided below.

5.3 Complaints and enquiries

If you are not happy with the way we have handled your personal information or believe that we have breached the Privacy Act then please contact us and we will try our best to resolve the matter with you. For security reasons, we request that complaints, requests for access to or correction of personal information or any enquiries or questions concerning privacy matters be put in writing and either e-mailed or posted to:

Whilst we are obliged to provide you with access to your information, there are exceptions and those are outlined in the Privacy Act. If one of the exceptions applies to your access request, we will (if reasonable in the circumstances) work with you and attempt to provide you with access in a way to meet both of our needs. If it is reasonable in the circumstances, we will also notify you in writing if we have determined to refuse access to your personal or sensitive information due to one of the exceptions listed above and the reasons for that refusal.

We also encourage you to actively engage with us and let us know when your details change or sensitive information needs correction or updating, via our contact information provided below.

We take reasonable care to ensure that personal or sensitive information we use, store and subsequently destroy/delete (where relevant) meets certain quality requirements, in that the personal and sensitive information is accurate, up to date and complete.

5.2 Security of personal and sensitive information

While care is taken to protect your personal and sensitive information, unfortunately no data transmission over the internet is guaranteed as being 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us or receive from us online. That is particularly true for information you send to us via email as we have no way of protecting the information until it reaches us. Once we receive your personal or sensitive information, we are required to protect it in accordance with the Privacy Act.

We follow the Mercedes-Benz global policies, guidelines and standards which are designed to secure your information. We continually train and remind our staff of the importance of keeping information safe and secure.

We have adopted active security measures to ensure that your personal and sensitive information is kept safe from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, disclosure and modification, such as:

• System security: Our application systems are password protected and can be accessed only by people authorised to do so. Our policies require us to encrypt confidential information, for instance, when you provide information to us by using our website or when you send information from your computer to us. Security is inbuilt into the design and operations of our systems through the use of firewalls, ethical hacking and virus scanning tools.
• Physical security: Our premises are protected against unauthorised access by way of access card for entry, cameras, alarms and security services.
• Data retention: If personal or sensitive information is no longer required for the purpose for which we are permitted to use, disclose or legally retain it, then we will permanently remove from a record any information by which an individual may be identified on order to prevent future re-identification from the data available. We retain information as long as needed to comply with the law or our own corporate policies and procedures.

Whilst we seek to keep your personal and sensitive information secure, errors may occur from time to time and we will act quickly to investigate them and implement measures to avoid them from happening again (where possible).

Protecting your personal data is a high priority for all of the entities listed above, and is taken into account for all business processes. This privacy statement provides you with a detailed summary regarding the processing of your personal data in relation to the analysis and marketing activities mentioned below.

"Personal data", according to the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR), means all information that relates to a natural person who has been or can be identified. You will also find information on what rights you are entitled to regarding the processing of your personal data according to the GDPR.

The way Mercedes-Benz entities process personal data within, or related to individuals within, the European Union and European Economic Area is always based on the Mercedes-Benz Group Data Protection Policy EU.

Who is responsible for processing my personal data, and whom can I contact on the topic of data protection?

The (joint) controllers responsible for processing your personal data for shared analysis and marketing activities on this specific website are:

Mercedes-Benz New Zealand Ltd
Level 3 Office Tower, 277 Broadway Newmarket
Auckland, New Zealand
Email: cs.nzl@cac.mercedes-benz.com

Mercedes-Benz AG

70372 Stuttgart, Germany
Email: dialog.mb@mercedes-benz.com

Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG

Data protection officer for MBAG and MBM:
Mercedes-Benz Group AG
Group Data Protection Officer
HPC E600

Email: data.protection@mercedes-benz.com

MBNZ and MBAG as well as MBAG and MBM have concluded joint controllership agreements according to Art. 26 GDPR. For more information, please see the table below.

Where does my data come from and what data is processed? Whenever you visit this specific website and if you have consented the following categories of data are stored and shared with MBAG and MBM:

Server-Logfiles: Certain information about the browser, operating system and IP address (only very short-term) you are using; the date and time of your visit; the status of the interaction (e.g. whether you were able to access the website or received an error message)

Clickstream Data: Your usage of the website and its features; any search phrases you entered; how often you visit the website and the campaign from which you accessed this specific website

Online identification features: Your Cookie ID, Web Client or/and App ID

Geo-location data: The country and the city from where you accessed our website (derived from the IP address)

Payment information: Payment method you used while purchasing something on this specific website

MBNZ processes that data about your visit on this specific website together with the other controllers -depending on your consent- using the following technologies:

• For analysis purposes:
    - Google Analytics 360
• For marketing purposes:
    - Salesforce Interaction Studio
    - Salesforce Audience Studio
    - Adobe Target

For what purpose and on what legal basis is your personal data processed?

The personal data collected during your visit on this website is used for conducting personalization and targeted advertising measures. Moreover, the website usage behavior is analyzed to improve website usability and enhance digital products and campaigns. In addition, that data is used for statistical reports.

Within the scope of the joint controllership, your personal data is processed based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your consent is optional and may be withdrawn at any time through the Consent Management Platform of this specific website. The lawfulness of data processing before such withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Will my data be sent to a third country's?

When passing on data to third parties based on your consent, personal data may be provided from within the European Union ("EU") or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to recipients in countries outside the EU or EEA, i. e., in a so-called third country.

In some third countries, from the EEA's point of view, an adequate level of personal data protection (so-called "adequacy") exists, in compliance with EU standards. With recipients in other third countries, MBAG and MBM agree on the use of EU standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules or other applicable instruments to create an "adequate level of protection" according to legal requirements. For more information, please contact one of the controllers.

To the extent that you consent within our Consent Management Platform, you also consent to transfer data to recipients in countries outside of the EEA where no “adequate level of protection” exists. You may find information on data transferred, data recipients or categories of data recipients, and the relevant countries in our Consent Management Platform under a (cookie) settings link in the footer at the bottom of the website. Data protection law in these countries may not be fully comparable to that in the European Economic Area. In this case, international data transfer to recipients outside of the European Economic Area (if any) is based on your consent according to Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

How long will my data be stored?

Your personal data will be stored until the purpose for which it was collected and processed has been fulfilled. Beyond this period, data storage only takes place to the extent made necessary by applicable legislation, regulations or other legal provisions in the European Economic Area or in third countries if these have an adequate level of data protection. If personal data must be retained on such basis, the relevant personal data are flagged to restrict their further processing.

In addition to the rights available to you under New Zealand law, you also have the following rights under GDPR

According to GDPR, you have certain rights regarding the processing of your personal data. Making you aware of these rights is very important to Mercedes-Benz:

Right of access: You can request access to your personal data processed by us (Art. 15 GDPR).

Right to correction of inaccurate data: You have a right to request correction of your personal data, in case it is inaccurate (Art. 16 GDPR).

Right to deletion: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. The criteria allow you to request the deletion of your personal data if, for example, it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. You can also demand the deletion of your personal data if it is unlawfully processed, or if you have rightfully objected to the processing of your data, revoked your consent to the same or there is a legal obligation to delete it (Art. 17 GDPR).

Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your data. This right especially applies for the duration of the review if you have disputed the accuracy of your personal data, as well as in the case that, for an existing right to deletion, you request restricted processing instead of erasure. Furthermore, there will be restricted processing if the data is no longer required for legitimate purposes, but you still need the data in order to assert, exercise or defend legal rights, as well as if the successful assertion of an objection is in dispute between you and MBAG and/or MBM (Art. 18 GDPR).

Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, common, machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR), insofar as the data has not been deleted already.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: If you feel that processing of your data is not in line with the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in an EU member state, e.g., a data protection agency responsible for your place of residence, workplace or location where the alleged data protection violation occurred (Art. 77 GDPR).

If you wish to assert one of your rights or receive more information, please contact one of the controllers stated above. Preferably, please contact MBNZ.
