In these cases, the involved parties have jointly determined the purposes and the means of processing your personal data. The following table shall serve as an overview about potential processing activities under Joint Controllership in which multiple Bosch entities are involved. 

Processing activity 

Involved parties 

Description of the joint processing 

Newsletter  

Us and all entities stated in the consent text you accepted (namely Scintilla and Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH) 

Your personal data collected via your registration to our newsletter is made available to all Involved parties. The database is used jointly to enable each individual party to send out newsletter or initiate other marketing activities as described in the newsletter registration form. The involved parties therefore process the data to improve their individual sales and increase their market presence. 

In addition to the responsibilities for the individual processing activities set out in the table above, the following applies: The involved parties shall provide you as data subject with the information required under Articles 13 and 14 GDPR in a precise, transparent, understandable and easily accessible form in clear and simple language free of charge. Each party shall provide the other involved party with all necessary information from its sphere of activity. The involved parties shall inform each other without undue delay of any data subject rights asserted by you as a data subject. They shall provide each other with all information required to respond to your requests for information. You assert your data subject rights directly against each involved party at any time. 

Independent Controllership 

If one of the parties mentioned above processes independently (for its own purposes) of the other party your personal data for the purposes stated in the table above, this is done under independent Controllership. Only the parties mentioned above might process your personal data in independent Controllership. In addition, for marketing related communication, we state the Controllership in each marketing communication itself. 

(7) Data transfer. The data of the participants will only be processed by Scintilla and Robert Bosch Power Tools GMBH as well as, if necessary, carefully selected and contractually obligated service providers for the purpose of sending the prizes to the winners. Please note that through possible liking and commenting and sharing, the social media platform operator gains access to your data. The platform operator itself is responsible for this under data protection law. We have no influence on which recipients the platform operator passes on your data to. The data recipients may also be located in third countries, which may have a lower level of data protection than in Switzerland and where data subject rights do not exist or cannot be exercised. Data processing by the platform operator is governed by their data protection notices. Scintilla is solely responsible for data processing in the context of the prize draw. 

(8) Duration of storage, retention periods. Principally, we store your data for as long as it is necessary to render our Online Offers and connected services or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing the data (e.g. we might still have a legitimate interest in postal mail marketing after fulfillment of our contractual obligations). In all other cases we delete your personal data with the exception of data we are obliged to store for the fulfillment of legal obligations (e.g. due to retention periods under the tax and commercial codes we are obliged to have documents such as contracts and invoices available for a certain period of time). For the purpose of this marketing activity, your data will be stored as long as there are contractual obligations to be fulfilled by Scintilla AG. Otherwise, your data will be deleted, at latest, 60 days after the campaign is over. 

(9) Reporting of data protection incidents, assertion of data subject rights. To report data protection incidents and to assert your rights, please use the following link: https://www.bkms-system.net/bosch-datenschutz.  

(10) Data subject rights. There is a right to information on the part of the controller about the personal data concerned and – insofar as the legal requirements are met - to correction of inaccurate data or to deletion, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued. There is also the right to restriction of processing and the right to data portability, insofar as the legal requirements are met. 

 (11) Objection to direct marketing. You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. Please take into account that due to organizational reasons, there might be an overlap between your objection and the usage of your data within the scope of a campaign which is already running. 

Objection to data processing based on the legal basis of “legitimate interest”. In addition, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, insofar as this is based on “legitimate interest”. We will then terminate the processing of your data, unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds according to legal requirements which override your rights. 

Withdrawal of consent. In case you consented to the processing of your data, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of data processing prior to your withdrawal remains unchanged.
