Privacy Statement

Privacy Statement.

Mercedes‑Benz Trucks (UK) Privacy Policy.

We appreciate you visiting our website and your interest in the products we offer. Protecting your personal data is very important to us. In this Privacy Statement, we explain how we collect your personal information, what we do with it, for what purposes and on what legal foundation we do so, and what rights you have on that basis. We will also refer you to Daimler Truck's Data Protection Policy (PDF).

Our Privacy Statement on the use of our websites and the Daimler Truck AG Data Protection Policy do not apply to your activities on the websites of social networks or other third party providers that can be accessed using the links on our websites. Please read the data protection provisions on the websites of those providers.

Mercedes‑Benz Trucks UK is the company that you are interacting with or with whom your information has been shared, known as the controller. A ‘controller’ is a company that decides why and how your personal information is processed. Where this statement refers to "we", "our" or "us" below, unless it mentions otherwise, it is referring to the particular company that is the controller of your personal information.

Where the statement refers to GDPR below, unless otherwise mentioned, it is referring to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the UK General Data Protection Regulation, together referred to collectively as “GDPR”.

Collecting and processing your personal data.

Whenever you visit our websites, we store certain information about the browser and operating system you are using, whether by clicking links on our websites or entering a domain directly into the input field of the same tab (or window) of the browser in which you have our websites open. Examples of information stored are:

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)
the usage of features on the website
any search phrases you entered
how often you visit individual websites
the names of the files you access
the amount of data transferred
the Web page from which you accessed our website
the Web page you visited after visiting our website

In addition, we store your IP address and the name of your Internet service provider for seven days. This is for security reasons; in particular, to prevent and detect attacks on our websites or attempts at fraud.

We only store other personal data if you provide it, e.g. as part of a registration, contact form, chat, survey, price competition or for the execution of a contract, and even in these cases only insofar as this is permitted to us on the basis of a consent given by you or in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. You are neither legally nor contractually obligated to share your personal information, however, certain features of the websites may depend on the sharing of personal information. If you do not provide your personal information in such cases, you may not be able to use those features, or they may be available with limited functionality. If telematics software is installed in the vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer or telematics services provider may share vehicle location data with Mercedes‑Benz Trucks UK:

in order to satisfy internal asset audit requirements or
to retake possession of the vehicle if it reasonably suspects that the vehicle has been abandoned (or that you have otherwise breached any term of an agreement with Mercedes‑Benz Trucks UK) and you do not respond satisfactorily despite attempts to contact you or if the data is requested by law enforcement agencies.

No behavioural or vehicle usage data is shared with Mercedes‑Benz Trucks UK. We may share the vehicle location data with third parties instructed to recover the vehicle or with law enforcement agencies in connection with their investigations.

Purpose of use.

We use the personal information collected during your visit to any of our websites to make using them as convenient as possible for you and to protect our IT systems against attacks and other unlawful activities. If you share additional information with us – for example, by filling out a registration form, contact form, chat, survey, contest entry or to execute a contract with you – we will use that information for the designated purposes such as customer management and if required, for processing, billing and business transactions within the required scope in each instance. For other purposes (e.g. display of personalised content or advertising based on your usage behaviour), we and, if applicable, selected third parties, use your personal data if and to the extent you give your consent through our consent management system. You will find further information and decision-making options here.

In addition, we use personal data to the extent that we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., storage for the fulfilment of commercial or tax-related retention obligations, release in accordance with official or judicial orders, e.g. to a law enforcement authority).

Transfer of Personal Information to Third Parties; Social Plugins; Use of Service Providers.

We work with various third parties to bring you a range of products and services, which are complimentary to ours. By way of an example, Daimler Truck Financial Services as well as Mercedes‑Benz AG and its affiliates are considered a third party in this context. Our websites may also contain an offer of third parties. If you click on such an offer, we transfer data to the respective provider to the required extent (e.g. information that you have found this offer with us and, if applicable, further information that you have already provided on our websites for this purpose).

When you visit our websites, the social plug-ins are deactivated, i.e. no data is transmitted to the operators of these networks. If you want to use one of the networks, click on the respective social plug-in to establish a direct connection to the server of the respective network. If you have a user account on the network and are logged in when you activate the social plug-in, the network can associate your visit to our websites with your user account. If you want to avoid this, please log out of the network before activating the social plug-in. A social network cannot associate a visit to other Daimler websites until you have activated an existing social plug-in. When you activate a social plug-in, the network transfers the content that becomes available directly to your browser, which integrates it into our websites. In this situation, data transmissions can also take place that are initiated and controlled by the respective social network. Your connection to a social network, the data transfers taking place between the network and your system, and your interactions on that platform are governed solely by the privacy policies of that network. The social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies. If you click on the link to an offer or activate a social plug-in, personal data may reach providers in countries outside the European Economic Area that, from the point of view of the European Union ("EU"), may not guarantee an "adequate level of protection" for the processing of personal data in accordance with EU standards. Please remember this fact before clicking on a link or activating a social plug-in and thereby triggering a transfer of your data.

We also use qualified service providers (e.g., IT service providers, marketing agencies) to operate, optimise and secure our websites. We only pass on personal data to the latter insofar as this is necessary for the provision and use of the website and its functionalities, for the pursuit of legitimate interests, to comply with legal obligations, or insofar as you have consented to. You will find more information regarding recipients of personal data in our consent management system.

We want the content of our websites to match your preferences closely, thereby improving what we offer you. To identify popular areas of our websites, we use Matomo Analytics. If you do not wish us to use this tool to collect and analyse information about your visit to our websites, you may indicate this by not accepting all cookies.

Cookies.

Cookies may be used when you are visiting our websites. Technically, these are so-called HTML cookies and similar software tools such as Web/DOM Storage or Local Shared Objects (so-called "Flash cookies"), which we collectively refer to as cookies.

Cookies are small files that are stored on your desktop, notebook or mobile device while you visit a website. Cookies make it possible, for example, to determine whether there has already been a connection between the device and the websites; take into account your preferred language or other settings, offer you certain functions (e.g. online shop, vehicle configurator) or recognise your usage-based interests. Cookies may also contain personal data. Whether and which cookies are used when you visit our websites depends on which areas and functions of our websites you use and whether you agree to the use of cookies that are not technically required in our Consent Management System. You will find further information and decision-making options here. The use of cookies also depends on the settings of the web browser you are using (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox). Most web browsers automatically accept certain types of cookies; however, you can usually change this setting. You can delete stored cookies at any time. Web/DOM storage and local shared objects can be deleted separately.

The consent to, and rejection or deletion of, cookies are tied to the device and to the respective web browser you use. If you use multiple devices or web browsers, you can make decisions or settings differently. If you decide against the use of cookies or delete them, you may not have access to all functions of our websites or individual functions may be limited.

Targeting and Retargeting.

We use so-called targeting, retargeting and cookie-less technologies in order to tailor our online marketing (e.g. banner ads) more specifically to your needs and interests. These are monitored and used when you visit other websites that work together with the providers of (re-)targeting technologies, to inform you while meeting your interests as closely as possible.

When the above technologies are used, cookies on our websites and (in the case of retargeting) on the websites of others register your interest in our products and services. In the process, random identifiers (so-called cookie IDs) are used which are not brought into connection with your name, your address or similar information, even if this information is known to us (e.g. from an existing contractual relationship), unless you have consented to this.

Security.

We take technical and organisational security measures in order to protect your information managed by us from being tampered with, lost, destroyed or accessed by authorised individuals. We are continuously improving our security measures in line with technological advancements.

Legal Foundations for Processing.

There is a legal basis for processing your data under GDPR:

if you have given us your consent to process your personal information
for the purpose of entering into a contract or performing a contract with you
if processing your personal information is required in order to fulfill our legal obligations (e.g. data retention)
for purposes of protecting our legitimate interests as well as the interests of third parties

Legitimate Interest.

We may use and process your personal information where it is necessary for us to pursue our legitimate interests as a business for the following purposes, below are some illustrative examples:

for analysis, and profiling to inform our marketing strategy, and to enhance and personalise your customer or visitor experience;
for telephone customer surveys and market research in order to continually improve the products and services that we and our authorised dealers deliver to you;
to administer our websites and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, testing, statistical purposes;
for marketing activities (other than where we rely on your consent) e.g. to tailor marketing communications or send targeted marketing messages via social media and other third party platforms;
for the prevention of fraud and other criminal activities;
to correspond and communicate with you;
for network and information security in order for us to take steps to protect your information against loss or damage, theft or unauthorised access;
to comply with a request from you in connection with the exercise of your rights (for example where you have asked us not to contact you for marketing purposes, we will keep a record of this on our suppression lists in order to be able to comply with your request);
for the purposes of corporate restructure or reorganisation or sale of our business or assets;
for efficiency, accuracy or other improvements of our databases and systems e.g. by combining systems or consolidating records we or our group companies hold about you;
to enforce or protect our contractual or other legal rights or to bring or defend legal proceedings; and
for general administration including managing your queries, complaints, or claims, and to send service messages to you.
to provide information to government bodies or agencies for administration purposes.
maintaining the functionality of our IT systems

As part of the consideration of interests required in each case, we take into account various aspects, in particular the type of personal information, the purpose of processing, the circumstances of processing and your interest in the confidentiality of your personal information.

Marketing.

We may collect your preferences to send you marketing information directly from us by email/SMS (where applicable) including:

If you register an account with us online; or
If you book a test-drive or request a call back.

We will only do so if you have consented to receiving such marketing information directly from us. We may contact you with targeted advertising delivered online through social media and platforms (operated by other companies) by using your personal information, or use your personal information to tailor marketing to improve its relevance to you, unless you object.

We will only share your personal information with recommended third parties for them to contact you with marketing information about their products and services where you have indicated that you would like us to do so. Please use the link on the page requesting your consent to find out more about these third parties. Once shared, the relevant third party’s privacy policy will apply to their processing of your personal information, not ours. If you would like to opt-out of receiving marketing from a third party after providing your consent, you can do so at any time by contacting the relevant third party directly.

If you opt-in to receiving marketing from our recommended third parties, you will receive marketing from those listed below via your preferred communication methods indicated by you:

Our Group Companies
Our Authorised Retailers can be found here: Mercedes‑Benz Trucks Dealer Locator

Deleting Your Personal Data.

If we collect your personal information, the length of time we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under applicable laws. We do not retain personal information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary.

We may need your personal information to establish, bring or defend legal claims, in which case we will retain your personal information for 7 years after the last occasion on which we have used your personal information.

Your IP address and the name of your Internet service provider, which we store for security reasons, are deleted after seven days. Moreover, we delete your personal information as soon as the purpose for which it was collected and processed has been fulfilled. Beyond this time period, data storage only takes place to the extent made necessary by the legislation, regulations or other legal provisions to which we are subject in the EU or by legal provisions in third-party countries if these have an appropriate level of data protection. Should it not be possible to delete data in individual cases, the relevant personal data are flagged to restrict their further processing.

Rights of the Data Subject.

As a data subject, you have the right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure, right to restriction of processing and the right to data portability. If you have consented to the processing of your personal data by us, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The legality of processing your personal data before revocation remains unaffected. We may further process such data pursuant to another applicable legal basis, e.g. for the fulfilment of our legal obligations.

Right to object
For reasons relating to your particular situation, you have the right to file an objection to the processing of personal data pertaining to you that is collected under data processing in the public interest or data processing on the basis of a balance of interests under GDPR at any time. If you file an objection, we will continue to process your personal data only if we can document mandatory, legitimate reasons that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if processing is for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. To the extent we use your personal data for direct marketing based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object at any time without giving reasons.

We ask you to address your claims or declarations to the following contact address: contact@daimlertruck.com

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates legal requirements or if you are concerned about the way we have processed your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO). Please visit the ICO’s website for further details. You may withdraw your consent for us to use your information in any of these ways at any time. Please see the Contact Us section at the end of this document.

Data transmission to recipients outside the European Economic Area.

When using service providers and passing on data to third parties based on your consent, personal data may be provided to recipients in countries outside the European Union ("EU"), Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (European Economic Area) such as USA and India. In the following countries (link to list), from the EU's point of view, there is an adequate level of personal data protection (so-called "adequacy"), in compliance with EU standards. We agree with recipients in other countries on the use of EU standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules or other applicable instruments (if any) to create an "adequate level of protection" according to legal requirements.

Fulfilment of the resulting legal requirements requires the processing of your data (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR). This processing is particularly for the purpose of sanctions list checks.

Processing based on a legitimate interest
In addition, we process your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of Daimler Truck AG or a third party (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). This is particularly the case in the following cases:

To the extent necessary for the assertion of legal claims and defence in the event of legal disputes;
To improve the customer experience, we regularly conduct customer satisfaction surveys on our Service24h process. This can be carried out by phone, email or SMS. We ask our customers about previous experiences with Service24h in the event of a breakdown and record suggestions for improvement.
For the purposes of sanctions list checks

Collection and processing based on a legal obligation
We collect and process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation (legal basis Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR). This is particularly the case in the following cases:

As part of invoicing
and associated statutory retention periods

Collection and processing based on your consent
In addition, your personal data will be collected and processed if you have expressly consented to this in advance (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

5. Is my data disclosed (to third parties)?
We do not disclose your personal data to third parties unless you have consented to such disclosure or we are entitled or obliged to disclose data due to legal provisions and/or official or court orders.

Transfer of data to processors
We use processors (e.g. IT service providers) to provide our services. Daimler Truck AG passes on your data to these in strict compliance with the obligation of confidentiality as well as the requirements of the GDPR and the Federal German Data Protection Act. The processors commissioned by us, who may only process the data for us and not for their own purposes, are obliged to comply with the strict standards of Daimler Truck AG.

Transmission to the motor vehicle insurance company
We transmit your data, in particular your first and last name, your address and vehicle data, which we have received as part of your order, to your motor insurance company or its agent, insofar as this is necessary for the assumption of costs.

Transmission to service providers
We use freight forwarders/towing companies/recovery companies to carry out service work. We will transmit to these any of your data necessary for the provision of the service.

Transmission to experts
To ensure order and workshop quality, we employ external experts who need to inspect service orders in order to carry out their work. Only the data that is absolutely necessary for the performance of the activity is transmitted.

6. Will my data be transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation?
Data is not transmitted to countries outside the EU or the EEA (so-called “third countries”), unless we are obliged to do so due to official or court orders.

Exceptional case: As part of Mercedes‑Benz Trucks Service24h, personal data may be transmitted to third countries for the purpose of the performance of the contract on the basis of Article 49 (1)(b) GDPR (depending on the vehicle’s positioning data).

7. Is decision-making automated?
Decision-making is not automated.

8. How long will my data be stored for?
We only process and store your personal data for as long as we need it to fulfil contractual or legal obligations. If there is no longer a legitimate interest, we will delete the data or, if this is not possible, block it. As a rule, we delete your contractual data no later than five years after the end of the contractual relationship.

9. What rights do I have in relation to Daimler Truck AG?
You have extensive rights with regard to the processing of your personal data. It is of particular importance to us that we familiarise you with these rights:

Right to information: You have the right to obtain information about the data stored by us, in particular the purpose of the processing and how long the data is stored for (Article 15 GDPR).
Right to rectification of inaccurate data: You have the right to request that we rectify your personal data immediately if it is inaccurate (Article 16 GDPR).
Right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase personal data concerning you. These conditions provide that you can request the erasure of your data if, for example, we no longer need the personal data for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, we should unlawfully process the data, or you should have rightfully objected or withdrawn your consent, or if there is a legal obligation to delete it (Article 17 GDPR).
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your data. This right applies in particular for the duration of the verification if you have contested the accuracy of your data, as well as in the event that you request restricted processing instead of erasure if you have an existing right to erasure. Furthermore, processing is restricted in the event that the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued by us, but you need the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and if the successful exercise of an objection between us and you is disputed (Article 18 GDPR).
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us from us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (Article 20 GDPR), insofar as this has not already been deleted.

If you wish to assert one of your rights or receive further information about this, please use the following online form or send an email to kundenrechte_dt@daimlertruck.com or write to: Daimler Truck AG, HPC V445, 10878 Berlin, Germany.

10. Can I withdraw consent to data processing that I have already given?
You can withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time, free of charge and with future effect. This also applies to declarations of consent issued before the entry into force of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, i.e. before 25 May 2018.

The withdrawal of a declaration of consent can be sent by email to kundenrechte_dt@daimlertruck.com or in writing to

Daimler Truck AG
HPC V445
10878 Berlin,
Germany

Please note that the withdrawal is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the withdrawal is not affected. The result of your withdrawal may be that, without the processing of this data, we are no longer able to provide our services in whole or in part, and we may therefore have to terminate the existing contract.

11. Can I object to the processing of my personal data?
You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation (Article 21 GDPR). We shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling, legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If you would like to object to the processing of your personal data, please use the online form, send an email to kundenrechte_dt@daimlertruck.com, or write to Daimler Truck AG, HPC V445, 10878 Berlin, Germany. However, in the event of an objection, it is possible that we will no longer be able to provide our services as agreed with you or not to the agreed extent.

12. Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
If you are of the opinion that we are violating the GDPR by processing your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, e.g. the data protection authority responsible for your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the data protection infringement.

Status: January 2025

Section 172 Statement

Section 172 Statement.

The revised UK Corporate Governance Code places several obligations on Company Directors. This includes the requirement for Directors to consider long-term effects of decision made on a wide stakeholder group and the environment in which the company operates. On top of this, there is a clear requirement to consider the fair treatment of everyone associated with the Company.

Long Term Decisions.

Naturally, the Directors take a long-term view in all their decision making, and decisions are done with the future goals of the Company in mind. As seen in the Daimler Sustainability Report, the industry landscape is changing, and Directors decisions have to take into account the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. These include ever-improving working and living conditions across the World, as well as prioritising the electrification of our vehicles with a UK target to have a carbon-neutral truck fleet by 2039.

Culture.

The Directors recognise that they have an important role in ensuring that the desired culture is reflected in the values, attitudes, and behaviours demonstrated throughout the Company. The Directors have established respect, passion, discipline and integrity as the four core values. Within the Company there are three culture theme groups, namely Feedback Culture, Career Rotation and Development, and Purpose.

Sustainability.

Sustainability is a crucial factor that the Directors recognise as influential in the worldwide corporate domain, particularly in the motor industry. This is driven by six key themes; Climate Protection & Air Quality, Resource Conservation, Liveable Cities, Traffic Safety, Data Responsibility, and Human Rights. The Company recognises three enablers for these themes, which focus on key stakeholder groups. The firstly, Integrity, which is achieved by strengthening trust and relationships by remaining compliant with laws and regulations. Secondly People, the Company promotes diversity and equality as well as successfully allowing employees to address the challenges of a digital world. The final enabler is Partnerships, enabling a clear and reliable platform of communication, using what we call a 360⁰ process, which takes internal and external expectations into account.

On the local side, the electricity contract for the local head offices is sourced from 100% UK renewable energy, and in addition will be supplied by carbon neutral gas from August 2020. For more detail on the Company’s position on sustainability, please visit the corporate website at: www.daimler.com/sustainability

Modern Slavery Act

Modern Slavery Act.

Modern Slavery Act 2015

This statement is made pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out what steps Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK Ltd has taken and continue to take in order to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from taking place within our business and our supply chain.

Structure and Business

Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK Ltd (“the Company) is part of the Daimler Truck Group under Daimler Truck AG. The Company’s principal activities relate to importing, storage, marketing and distribution of Mercedes-Benz Truck and Fuso products in the United Kingdom. For the Company, the respect for human rights is a fundamental component of responsible corporate governance. We are committed to ensuring that human rights are respected and upheld in our business and by our suppliers.

Policies

We are committed to our social responsibilities, which include respecting human rights, respecting the rights of employees and their representatives, protecting the environment, enabling fair competition and fighting against corruption.

Our company Integrity Code sets out our corporate responsibilities as well as the rules and values by which all employees should be behave. Examples include but are not limited to:

Treating one another with fairness and respect. This is applicable for our employees, customers and business partners alike, which includes suppliers.
Working with integrity and transparency such as protecting human rights.
Compliance with legislation, including fundamental rights at work - in particular freedom of association and elimination of discrimination throughout employment.

Employee Training

Training is carried out on both a Group level and local level with a selection of subjects from integrity in general to compliance in procurement and sustainability.

We conduct on-line and face-to-face training for all employees to emphasise the importance of acting with integrity in line with ethical business practices.
Social compliance training is completed by those employees in relevant functions.
Suppliers and Business Partners have access to a Compliance Awareness Module web training which provides an overview of various governance topics including selection of business partners through due diligence, values, corruption risk awareness and business partner responsibilities.

The Company disciplinary policies permit the termination of employees found to be involved in any breach of the law banning forced labour, slavery and human trafficking. Policies and procedures will continue to be updated as required to ensure that appropriate safeguards are maintained against any mistreatment of persons involved in the supply chains or own businesses.

Supply Chain and Due Diligence

The Company maintains written policies that strictly prohibit the use of slavery or human trafficking in the direct supply chains. The company brochure Daimler Business Partner Standards sets out ethical principles and associated expectations and is communicated to the supply chain. The supplier code of conduct requires all suppliers to the Company to sign up to a sustainability clause, which details the requirements around forced labour, slavery and human trafficking. More information can be found on the Supplier portal including the Daimler Supplier Sustainability Standards.

When a supplier signs up to the sustainability clause, it receives official certification to this effect. By this certification, the suppliers that the Company interacts with confirm they will adhere to the guidelines and expectations set out, focusing on but not limited to “Child Labour Avoidance”, “Freely Chosen Employment”, and “Freedom of Association” in line with the Modern Slavery Act. This agreement is mandatory and the Company does not deal with suppliers who do not sign up to this clause.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK Ltd has a zero tolerance policy towards violations of the laws banning forced labour, slavery and human trafficking. Our contractual agreements give us the right to audit suppliers at any time for compliance with the sustainability clause and permit the termination of suppliers for a single violation.

The Daimler Truck Group entities periodically undertake Human Rights Compliance Assessments to ensure that all areas of the business are compliant with the ethical practises and international human rights standards, and that all employees are treated in a fair and transparent manner. This includes adherence to the Working Time Directive and the Minimum Wage.

Data protection – test vehicles

Data protection notices for test vehicles.

Data protection notices for the processing of video, image and audio data as part of test drives for research, development and testing by Daimler Truck AG on driver assistance systems, automated driving, driving functions and other services.

The protection of personal data is our highest priority and is taken into account in all our business processes. The following data protection notices provide data subjects with an overview of the processing of personal data by Daimler Truck AG in connection with the processing of video, image and audio data as part of Daimler Truck research, development and testing processes for driving assistance systems, automated driving, driving functions and other services. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

With this data protection notice, we inform data subjects about the type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data and how we handle this data as part of the above-mentioned research, development and testing processes. In addition, data subjects are informed of their rights with regard to the processing of personal data.

1. To whom does this data protection notice apply?
In this document, we inform data subjects about the protection of personal data when recording, processing and storing video, image and audio data in and from public traffic and – to the extent permitted by other law – on private plant, test and other premises. This data is collected by specially marked test vehicles of Daimler Truck AG for the purpose of carrying out research, development and testing in the context of driving assistance systems, automated driving, driving functions and other services. Any person in the vicinity of one of the marked test vehicles during test operation is potentially affected by this data processing.

2. Who is responsible for the processing of the data and who can data subjects contact regarding data protection?
The responsible body for the processing of personal data described below and contact for data protection issues is:

Daimler Trucks AG
HPC DTF2B
707745 Leinfelden-Echterdingen
Germany
E-mail: dataprivacy@daimlertruck.com (Subject: Truck Driver Testing/Automated Plant Traffic)

3. Where does the data come from and what kind of data is processed?
As part of the above-mentioned research, development and testing processes, marked test vehicles take part in public traffic and – to the extent permitted by other law – on private plant, test and other premises. The vehicles are equipped with camera systems featuring different detection directions, focal lengths and sensor technologies, as well as, in some cases, with exterior microphones and other sensor systems. These systems collect, process and store video, image and audio data from the vehicle environment for the purposes described in section 4 of this data protection notice.

Depending on the individual case, this data may also contain the following personal information:

Faces, other characteristics as well as behaviour and environment of road users and other persons in the vicinity of the test vehicles
Licence plates, other features and surroundings of vehicles and other objects in the vicinity of the test vehicles
Audible information from the area around the test vehicles
Additional data from other sensor systems (such as radar, LIDAR) as well as GPS position and time stamp of data acquisition

4. What is the data used for (purpose of processing) and on which basis (legal basis) is the data used?
The purposes of this type of data processing are research, development and testing in the context of driver assistance systems, automated driving (including automated plant traffic), driving functions and other services, including documentation of these processes and fulfilment of other downstream obligations.

Driving assistance systems and driving functions are already used in current vehicles to increase road safety in particular, but also comfort and convenience. In future automated and autonomous vehicles, technical systems for perceiving and managing traffic and environmental situations will enable the compliant and safe participation of such vehicles in public traffic. Other services make it possible to make means of transport, traffic and transport systems safer, more efficient and more convenient.

For the purposes of research, development and testing of such systems, they must be used in test vehicles under real environmental and traffic conditions – including in public traffic – and including the recording, processing and storage of video, image and audio recordings during and after these operations. This data is used to research, develop and test technical systems for the recognition and classification of road users, vehicles, infrastructure and other objects in their surroundings and in the context of traffic situations.

Persons, vehicles, other objects and audio information are only analysed, classified and further processed as "objects" in their surroundings and in the context of traffic situations as part of the data processing; i.e. as "pedestrians at the right edge of the road", "cars at a crossroads", "Emergency services signal behind the vehicle", for example. Named or other personal identification of recorded persons or assignment of recorded vehicles or objects to such identified persons is therefore neither necessary nor planned within the scope of the processing carried out, and is usually also not possible. However, since the required raw data consists of video, image and audio material, the identifiability and identification of persons cannot be excluded.

The primary legal basis for processing is the "protection of legitimate interests" pursuant to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 p.1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest of Daimler Truck AG here is the research, development and testing on driver assistance systems, automated driving, driving functions and other services.

The conflicting interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of data subjects do not prevail, as the identification of individual data subjects by name or other personal identification is neither necessary nor intended and is usually not possible. Technical and organisational measures are also taken to ensure that the data collected is processed in accordance with data protection regulations.

5. Is the data disclosed (to third parties)?
Daimler Truck AG only discloses this data to cooperation partners, processors or third parties within the scope of the purpose limitation under data protection law. Disclosure will only take place insofar as it is permitted on the basis of legal provisions and/or official or court orders or if the legitimate interest involves the third party.

Categories of recipients to whom data may be disclosed to in the context of processing within the context of this document are in particular:

Group-internal and external cooperation partners of Daimler Truck AG as part of research and development processes
Suppliers as part of research and development processes
Other processors (in particular IT service providers and service providers for data processing/data evaluation)

If disclosure to recipients in third countries takes place as part of the research, development and testing processes or downstream processing, this will only take place following an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR, on the basis of appropriate safeguards as per Art. 46 GDPR or if permitted by other law.

6. Is decision-making automated?
There is no automated decision-making in individual cases or profiling as per Art. 22 GDPR.

7. How long will the data be stored?
The video, image and audio data will be processed and stored for as long as necessary for the above-mentioned research, development and testing processes. If there is a further legal basis or a further legitimate interest for further storage and processing (e.g. for the proper documentation of the aforementioned processes, due to legal retention obligations or other legal requirements), the data will be stored for a correspondingly longer period.

8. What rights do data subjects have in relation to Daimler Truck AG?
As part of the processing of personal data, data subjects have the following rights. With regard to the exercise and restrictions of these rights in the context of the processing described here, please also observe the respective special notes on this.

Special notes on exercising the rights of data subjects:
This data protection notice relates to processing for which identification of the data subject is not required in accordance with Art. 11 GDPR. Beyond the recorded video, image and audio data, no additional identification characteristics of data subjects are regularly processed.

The exercise and fulfilment of data subject rights will therefore often require further information from the data subject – depending on the individual case – in particular information about the LOCATION and TIME at which the data subject may have been affected by the processing (i.e. information about when and where you were specifically in the vicinity of one of the test vehicles). This additional information may be necessary in order to determine whether a specific person is affected by the processing and in order to exercise the rights mentioned below, such as access, deletion, etc.

Right ofaccess: Data subjects have the right to request information as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed by us. Insofar as data is processed, data subjects have the right to access this data as well as information on the modalities of processing in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.
Right to rectification of inaccurate data: Data subjects have the right to request that we correct personal data concerning them. This right can generally only be implemented for video, image and audio data by deletion.
Right to erasure: Data subjects have the right to request that we erase personal data concerning them.
Right to restriction of processing: Data subjects have the right to request restriction of the processing of their data.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, for example with the data protection authority responsible for their place of residence, workplace or for the place of the possible data protection breach.
Right to object: Data subjects have the right to object to the processing of their personal data.

Special notes on the limitation of data subject rights:
Please note that, in the context of this processing, the rights of data subjects under Art. 15 GDPR (right to access), Art. 16 GDPR (right to rectification), Art. 17 GDPR (right to erasure), Art. 18 GDPR (right to restriction of processing) and Art. 21 GDPR (right to object) may be subject to special, additional restrictions. These specific restrictions apply where the exercise and fulfilment of these rights in a specific case would be likely to severely impair the achievement of research purposes or make this impossible, and the restriction is therefore necessary for the fulfilment of those research purposes. This particular restrictability and its prerequisites arise in particular from Art. 89 GDPR in conjunction with Section 27 BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act) and Art. 17 GDPR.

If you are a data subject of the data processing described here and would like to exercise one of your rights or receive more information about this, please contact:
