We are delighted that you are visiting our website and would like to thank you for your interest in our company, our products, and our online information.
As the company responsible for the web pages, HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA, Rixbecker Str. 75, D-59552 Lippstadt takes the issue of protecting personal information very seriously. Data protection and information security are part of our company policy. Accordingly, protecting your privacy when processing personal data and the security of all commercial information is an important matter for us, which we observe in our business processes. We treat personal information collected during your visit to our website confidentially and only use it in accordance with legal regulations.
Our web pages may contain links to third-party providers to which this statement on data protection does not apply. We have no influence on whether the administrators of these web pages maintain and uphold the relevant data protection regulations.
Personal data is information that can be used to learn about your identity. This includes your name, address, postal address and phone number. Information that cannot be associated with your identity, such as the number of users on a website, is not considered personal data.
Whenever you visit our website, we save the name of your internet service provider, the browser type used, the website from which you visit ours, the web pages that you visit while on our website and the date and duration of your visit. No other personal information is stored. You can therefore use our website without having to disclose your identity.
When you visit special areas of our website or participate in certain campaigns, additional data may be collected and saved. Personal data may need to be entered in order to participate in a survey, forward an inquiry, or process a contract.
Specifying personal data is voluntary. When you submit a query using one of our contact forms or via e-mail, we save the data that you provide about yourself in order to facilitate individual communication with you and to process your query.
Certain areas of our website require you to log in separately, at which point we will ask you to enter your name and/or other personal information during the registration and/or login procedure. For areas such as Hella TechWorld or HELLA Partner World, which address a specific target group, we utilize the registration procedure to appropriately identify the users of the respective target group. It is your decision whether you are willing to provide this information. Some campaigns or promotions, such as those that access specific information, require you to make several data entries. Entry fields that must be completed are designated with an asterisk (*). Additional information that has not been highlighted as mandatory is optional and provided voluntarily.
We use your personal data to technically manage our websites, customers, product surveys, and marketing to the extent required for each specific case only. We will never transmit your data to third parties outside the HELLA Group without your consent, especially with regard to marketing purposes. An overview of the HELLA group of companies is available online at www.hella.com/company.
We will transmit your data to the authorities entitled to request such information to the extent that this is required by law or has been mandated by a court order.

When logging into the newsletter, your e-mail address is used for our own marketing purposes until you have logged out of the newsletter. You can log out at any time, either by clicking the link in the newsletter or using the log-out function on the website.
Your personal information is stored and processed for the exclusive purpose of sending the newsletter. Under no circumstance will your data be given to a third party.
When subscribing to the newsletter, we use a double opt-in procedure to ensure that you have subscribed yourself. You will therefore only be subscribed to the newsletter once you have clicked the link in the confirmation email you receive after entering your data.
We use the third parties Campaign Monitor, operated by Campaign Monitor Pty Ltd and Salesforce, operated by Salesforce.com inc, to send our newsletter. Campaign Monitor offers extensive options to analyze how the newsletters are opened and used. These analyses are group-specific and not used by us for individual evaluation of newsletter recipients. You can find more information on Campaign Monitor and the data protection provided by Campaign Monitor at www.campaignmonitor.com/policies. Salesforce is the CRM solution that we use at HELLA. Your information is saved in servers in the EU. For more information, follow the www.salesforce.com/company/privacy/.
Our Facebook and Instagram fan pages are there to get you better acquainted with our company and our products.
When you visit our Facebook/Instagram fan pages, we collect your personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest.
As part of the Page Insights supplement, Facebook has agreed to accept and share responsibility for the data collected and used in conjunction with the Facebook/Instagram fan pages. Further information about the Facebook Page Insights supplement can be found at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data.
When Facebook is processing data, it can happen that data is processed outside the confines of the EU. In these cases, Facebook uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and the adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission regarding certain countries. You can find more information about this at: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
Furthermore, it is also possible that Facebook uses user data for market research and advertising purposes. It is possible that this will be used, among other things, to create usage profiles based on user behaviour (and based on the resulting fields of interest). And again, by employing these usage profiles as a basis, advertisements, for example, can be placed on or outside Facebook. To that end, cookies are regularly stored on users' computers. These cookies save user behaviour and also the interests of each individual user. Such usage profiles can also include additional Facebook data, particularly if the user has a Facebook account. Further details on this can be found in the data protection information provided by Facebook.
Should you have any further queries regarding our Facebook/Instagram fan pages or you would like to exercise your rights, please use the contact details listed below (See "Data Protection Officer"). Alternatively, you can also always contact Facebook with your questions and concerns regarding our Facebook/Instagram fan pages.
We implement technical and organisational security measures to protect the information collected from you and managed by us against tampering, loss, destruction, access by unauthorised persons, or unauthorised disclosure. Only a few, authorized individuals have access to your data.
The transmission of our website data and your information on our website pages over the Internet takes place in unencrypted format. It therefore cannot be ruled out that third parties may intercept and view and/or directly access the data transferred. Thus, we ask that you take this aspect into account when deciding on whether, and to what extent, you are willing to transmit data to us over the Internet. On our portals that require registration and user login information, we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for data transmission wherever possible.
We are continuously improving and adapting our security measures to keep up with technological developments.
We would also like to use your data to inform you about our products and, where applicable, to ask you about them. Naturally, participation in such initiatives is voluntary on your part. If you do not consent to this, you can send us a message at any time requesting that we block and/or delete these details. Sending an e-mail to the address listed in the legal notice is sufficient for this purpose. You can find more information on the relevant local website.
You have the right to obtain information on your data in written or electronic form. Furthermore, you have the right at all times to have any personal data blocked or deleted, you have the right to object to the processing of data and you also have the right to have incorrect data rectified. (Please note: Whenever country-specific, legal retention periods are to take effect, then the data/documentation will be blocked prior to deletion for a period laid down by the particular country.)
Should the processing of your data contravene applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
You can send an email or letter to our data protection officer containing suggestions and complaints involving the handling of your personal data.
