We store your data based on the state of the art. For example, the following safeguards are used to protect your personal information from misuse or any other unauthorized processing:

  • The data collected will only be transmitted in encrypted form.
  • Sensitive data is stored only in encrypted form.
  • The IT systems for processing the data are technically isolated from other systems to prevent unauthorized access, e.g. through hacking.
  • In addition, access to these IT systems is continuously monitored to detect and ward off misuse at an early stage.

Who do we share information with and how do we protect it?
BMW is a company with an international presence. Personal data is preferably processed within the EU by BMW employees and service providers commissioned by us.

As an individual whose data is subject to processing, you may assert certain rights against us in accordance with the GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations. The following section contains explanations of your rights under the GDPR.

Rights of affected persons
In accordance with the GDPR, you, as an affected person, are entitled to the following rights in particular:

Right of access by the data subject (Art. 15 GDPR):
You may request information about the data we hold about you at any time. This information includes, but is not limited to, the categories of data we have processed, the purposes for which we have processed this data, the origin of the data if we did not collect it from you directly, and, if applicable, the recipients to whom we have transferred your data. You can request a copy of your data free of charge. If you are interested in obtaining additional copies, we reserve the right to charge you accordingly.

Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
You can ask us to rectify your data. We will take reasonable measures to keep the information we hold and process about you accurate, complete, and up to date, based on the most current information available to us.

Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
You can request the deletion of your data, provided there are legal requirements in place to support this. This may be the case under Art. 17 GDPR if:

  • The data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
  • Your consent, which is the basis of data processing, is revoked and there is no other legal basis for the processing;
  • You object to the processing of your data and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or you object to the processing of data for direct marketing purposes;
  • The data was processed unlawfully,unless processing is necessary
  • to ensure compliance with a legal obligation that requires us to process your data;
  • particularly with regard to legal retention periods;
  • to enforce, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):
You may require us to restrict the processing of your data if

  • You dispute the accuracy of the data for the period of time that we need to verify the accuracy of the data;
  • The processing is unlawful but you refuse the deletion of your data and instead demand a restriction of use;
  • We no longer need your information but you need it to enforce, exercise, or defend legal claims;
  • You have lodged an objection against processing as long as it is not clear whether our justified reasons outweigh yours.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR):
At your request, we can transfer your data to another person in charge as far as technically possible. However, you are entitled to this right only if the data processing is based on your consent or is necessary to execute a contract. Rather than receive a copy of your data, you may also ask us to transfer the data directly to another person in charge specified by you.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR):
You may object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation, if the data processing is based on your consent or on our legitimate interests or those of a third party. In this case, we will no longer process your data. The latter does not apply if we can provide compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests or we need your data to enforce, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Time limits for the fulfillment of subject rights
We make every effort to comply with all requests within 30 days. However, this period may be extended for reasons relating to the specific subject right or complexity of your request.

Restriction of information in the fulfillment of subject rights
In certain situations, we may be unable to provide you with information about all your data owing to legal requirements. If we have to refuse your request for information in such cases, we will inform you at the time of the reasons for the refusal.

Complaints to supervisory authorities
BMW takes your rights and concerns very seriously. However, if you believe that we have not adequately addressed your complaints or concerns, you are entitled to file a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called „session cookies.“ They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site. You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in „server log files“. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data will not be combined with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed. We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
