list of the sites you visited within the scope of our overall Internet
presence, the date and duration of your visit, notification of whether the
visit was successful, volume of data transferred, information about the
identification data of the browser type and operating system used by you.
Temporary storage of this data is necessary during your visit to the website
in order to allow the website to be delivered to you. Further storage in log
files is performed to ensure the functionality of the website and the
security of our IT systems. The legal basis for the processing of the
aforementioned data categories is therefore Art. 6 (1) (f) of the European
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Due to the said purposes, in
particular to guarantee security and a smooth connection setup, we have a
legitimate interest to process this data.
Additional personal information such as your name, address, telephone number
or e-mail address is not collected unless you provide this data voluntarily,
e.g. while completing an online contact form, as part of a registration,
survey, competition or an information request.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the
purpose for which they were collected. For the provision of the website, this
is the case when the session terminates. The log files (access logs) are kept
for administrators to access directly and exclusively for a period of 24
hours. After that, they are only available indirectly through a restore from
backup tapes and are permanently deleted after 30 days.
As far as you have enabled geo localization functions in your browser,
respectively in your operating system we will use this data to offer you
location-based services (e.g. location of the nearest branch, packing station
etc.). The legal basis for geo-localization is your consent according Art. 6
(1) (a) GDPR by enabling the respective function. We will not use this data
for any other purpose. If you disable this function your data will be deleted
in due time.

“technologies”), which enable us, for example, to determine how frequently
our internet pages are visited, the number of visitors, to configure our
offers for maximum convenience and efficiency and to support our marketing
efforts.

use other technologies (performance, functional or analytics technologies)
for storing information about visitors who repeatedly access one of our

the basis of your prior given consent according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

Deutsche Post AG (hereinafter called 'DHL') is pleased that you have visited
our social media presences and are interested in our company and our products
and services. In the following, we would like to inform you about certain
issues related to data protection that apply when you visit our social media
presences.
* Our social media presences are made available by the respective operators
of the social media platform pursuant to the applicable terms and
conditions of use. The respective platform operator is solely responsible
for the technical operation of this profile.
* DHL is solely responsible for the content that DHL posts on this page
(such as information about our company, products, services, sweepstakes,
campaigns) and for our interaction with visitors to our profile.
* The operators of the social media platform operate the entire IT
infrastructure of the platforms. It makes its privacy policy available to
users and has its own separate relationship with registered users of the
platform. The operators of the social media platforms are solely
responsible for all data protection topics involving your user profile, to
which we have no access.
* We have no influence over the data processing by the operators of social
media platforms who collect them. Furthermore, we have no information
regarding the extent to which, the purposes for which or the length of
time that the operators of the social media platforms store personal data
and possibly analyze, link or transfer them to third parties.
* Please note that your personal data can, under certain circumstances, also
be processed outside of the European Union/European Economic Area. This
could result in data protection risks for users because an adequate level
of data protection cannot be guaranteed in such cases and the ability to
assert data subject rights is limited.
* Please see the respective privacy policies and cookie policies for the
social media platforms to learn more about their data processing
activities and how you can exercise your rights vis-á-vis the operators of
the social media platforms.

processing that falls in its area of responsibility for the following social
media presences:

Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
* Facebook/Instagram: Facebook

3. Purpose and legal basis of processing
3.1. Data processing in connection with our social media presences
We make use of our social media presences to inform you about, for example,
our company, products, services, campaigns and sweepstakes and to interact
with you regarding various topics and respond to your inquiries. The data
processing performed in this connection is undertaken to safeguard our
legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our
legitimate interest lies in public relations work and communication.
The social media platform operator publishes the information you provide on
our profile, such as comments, likes, images and videos, and we process this
information solely for the abovementioned purposes. We reserve only the right
to erase illegal content should this be necessary. This applies, for example,
to posts that constitute infringements of the law or are unlawful, hate
comments, suggestive comments (explicitly sexual content) or attachments
(such as images or videos), which under circumstances violate copyrights,
privacy rights, criminal law or Deutsche Post AG’s ethics rules.
Data are also collected for the purpose of holding and processing
sweepstakes. The details, such as which data are processed and the purpose of
the processing, can be found in the privacy notices and terms and conditions
of the respective contest.
If you would like to exchange personal data with us, we recommend that you
contact our customer service.
3.2. Data processing of page insights for statistical purposes
The social media platform operators from Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn
provide us with page insights, for which we are jointly responsible together
with the platform operators. Page insights are anonymous statistics that are
generated as a result of certain events and are tracked by social media
platforms via cookies and similar technologies when a user such as you
interacts with our social media profile. We can use the page insights, which
contain no personal data, to see which content is particularly accessed by
which group of individuals. This allows us to optimize our social media
presence. This represents a legitimate interest on our part for the
processing that takes place. The legal basis for data processing related to
page insights is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We would like to point out that
data processing can also take place independent of whether you are logged in
or registered on the social media platform. We are unable to influence the
use of cookies and similar technologies on the social media platform and, in
this respect, refer you to your ability as a user to change your settings
regarding the related data processing via the respective cookie banner on the
social media platform (granting or not granting your consent).
3.3. Social media monitoring
We use social media monitoring in order to obtain a picture of how our
business, our products and our services are viewed and, based on this,
identify potential for improvement. This entails analyzing posts on the
social media platform based on the channel links used and relevant hashtag
links. Only those posts to which you allow full public access will be used
for this. The legal basis for processing personal data as part of social
media monitoring is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR because we have a legitimate
interest in identifying in freely accessible statements possible deficits in
our products or services and responding appropriately.
4. Rights of the data subject
You may exercise your rights as set forth in this Privacy Notice by using our
contact form.
If you would like to exercise your rights as a data subject vis-à-vis the
social media platform operators, please use the contact options provided by
the platform operators on the social media platforms. Should we receive an
inquiry that falls within the area of responsibility of the social media
platforms, we will forward it to them for further processing.
5. Storage periods
The length of time during which your data are stored will depend on the
particular context of the processing and will be based on the parameters
imposed by data protection law. All public posts you make on our profiles
will remain on our profiles for an unlimited time, unless we erase them on
the basis of an update of the original post, a breach of law or an
infringement of our guidelines. You may of course erase your posts, comments
and the like at any time yourself or exercise your right to have us erase
them.
In the case of the social media platform operators’ erasure of your data, we
have no influence over this and therefore refer you to the privacy policy of
the respective platform operator.

your personal data for our Get a Quote service. However, if data is
nevertheless considered personal, such as the city and postcode, the legal
basis for this is the contract in progress (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR) and a
legitimate interest in being able to submit our offer as accurately as
possible (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR).
Provided that no statutory or contractual retention periods needs to be
observed, your request will be stored for a maximum of 30 days with the

address, email address and phone number. This data will also be forwarded to
the respective business units and is necessary to take steps at your request
prior to entering into a contract and / or for the performance of a contract.
The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR.

observed, your request will be stored for a maximum of 30 days with the
relevant business unit which finally made the quote as proof of proper
processing and for the purpose of further optimizing services.

tracking information is sent to the respective business unit to find the
status of the shipment. You will also receive all important detailed
information about your shipment from the respective business unit. In
addition, the sender or recipient can also receive further information about
the shipment in question by e-mail or SMS. For this purpose, the e-mail
address or mobile phone number of the recipient of the notification can be
stored and the notification activated. In this context, the person entering
the data must ensure that the notification recipient agrees to the processing
of e-mail address, mobile phone number and notification.

To enhance user convenience, when using shipment tracking DHL automatically
generates a list of the last shipment number searched for via the shipment
search: This function saves you having to re-enter the shipment number when
checking the shipping status of your shipment. In this context, you can name
individual shipments according to your preference (“Shipment title"). For
this purpose, the application saves a list of the last shipment searches in a
cookie.

unless required for the purpose of the contract or unless you have given
explicit consent to do so. For instance, it may be necessary to pass on your
address and order data to our contractors when you order products. Further
information on data protection in specific services and products is available
at the relevant Customer Portal.
However, in the context of the data processing as described in this Privacy
Notice and the respective legal basis given, DHL will transfer your data to
the following categories of recipients:

entities and shared service centers to provide and improve our products

you, to answer your requests and to comply with your privacy rights.
* Third party business partners: The transfer to third party business
partners is limited to what is required by applicable law and / or in
order to fulfill our contractual obligations.

responsibility for safeguarding your personal data in such circumstances.
The business partners follow the instructions of DHL, and this is
guaranteed by technical and organizational measures, as well as by means
of checks and controls.
* Public authorities: transfer is required by applicable law (e.g. to fulfil
a legal obligation during shipment processing).
Your data is only transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to
other DHL Group companies, third party business partners or public
authorities when permitted by applicable data protection law. In such cases,
we will make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure the
transfer of your data (e.g. our binding corporate rules, standard contractual
clauses).

HOW ABOUT DATA SECURITY
DHL takes the security of your data very seriously. We have implemented various
strategies, controls, policies and measures to keep your data secure. We keep
our security measures under close review. We use safeguards such as firewalls,
network intrusion systems, and application monitoring. Where appropriate, we
secure your data by using pseudonymization and encryption techniques when
storing and transferring your data. For instance, your data is saved in a secure
operating environment which is not accessible to the public. In certain cases,
your personal data is encrypted by Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL) during
transmission. This means that an approved encryption procedure is used for
communication between your computer and the DHL servers if your browser supports
SSL. We ensure that there are strict physical access controls in our buildings
and certified data centers.
As a part of our security strategy, we have set up auditing programs to make
sure that our systems and services comply with the DHL information security
policy, and by extension the ISO 27001 standard.
In addition, we are taking a number of ongoing measures to reduce risk, such as
(but not limited to) training our employees regularly and organizing incident
simulation exercises by our Cyber Defense Center.
Should you wish to contact DHL by e-mail or contact forms, we would like to
point out that the confidentiality of the information sent cannot be guaranteed.
The contents of (e-mail) messages can be read by third parties. We therefore
recommend you send us confidential information only by post.
