Marketing mailings

If you have given your consent, or if we have received your contact details as part of entering into a contract, we may send you information about our products and services by e-mail. We may also continue to send you information about events, trade fairs, products and services by post if we have obtained your address and you have not objected to the information.

Promotional use of data by SEW-EURODRIVE

SEW-EURODRIVE and contracted service providers (printers, mailing companies, etc.) use your name and address as a contact person in ongoing business relationships or interested persons for further measures to establish and activate business partnerships.

This includes sending advertising by post or e-mail regarding interesting products and services, so that potential customers and business partners can learn about products that may be of interest to them and in order to establish a long-term business relationship. Last but not least, we would like to keep in touch with you on special occasions and send you, for example, Christmas greetings. SEW-EURODRIVE uses your telephone number for promotional purposes only if you have given your consent or if your consent can be reasonably presumed, for example, within the framework of an existing business relationship or following prior contact. SEW-EURODRIVE also uses your e-mail address, obtained from contact persons during the conclusion of contracts, to advertise similar products and services. In all other cases, we only use your e-mail address for advertising purposes with your separate consent. Of course, you have the right to refuse these promotional contacts. We will inform you of your right to object to advertising in each individual case.

In addition, SEW-EURODRIVE processes data collected within the framework of the business relationship (contact information, product purchases, services ordered) and obtained when using the services of the website, at trade fairs or during other advertising campaigns (use of data when accessing the website or participating in advertising campaigns, as well as voluntary information that you disclose when using the website) in order to provide you with offers tailored to your interests. By means of the above, we use data that is collected in the course of the business relationship and data that is obtained when using products/services to inform you of current offers, information and developments regarding our products and services that may be of interest to you. In this way, SEW-EURODRIVE provides further information about the products and services of the SEW-EURODRIVE Group. Through this data processing, we can show you products and services that we think may be of interest to you by means of personalised offers (advertising on the website, by e-mail or by post).

We may also send you - as an existing customer or if we have otherwise received your contact details - information in connection with special promotions, events or trade fair events by post or e-mail within the framework described above. In this case, you will receive information by post about the specific campaign and how you can participate and what information you need to provide us with. We will then often register your participation via an event-related website and process your data for the stated purposes, e.g. to provide you with the products offered or to send you information. We may use the information received within the framework of the processing described here. At the time of the initial selection and sending of information, your data is processed on the basis of a consideration of our interests, Organic Law 3/2018, on Personal Data Protection and guaranteeing digital rights; when you participate in a campaign and register, your data is processed for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Organic Law 3/2018, on Personal Data Protection and guaranteeing digital rights.

As a rule, your data is stored in the EU for advertising purposes. For this we may use service providers that we have carefully inspected and audited. If data is transferred to and processed on servers in third countries outside the EU/EEA in individual cases, i.e. in particular the USA and, where applicable, the United Kingdom (UK), we use contracted and supervised service providers who have undertaken to guarantee a reasonable level of data protection and with whom the standard data protection clauses of the EU Commission have been agreed in principle. In individual cases, permission for the transfer of data may also arise under Article 40 Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights, for example, the fulfilment of a contract with an international focus or if you have issued your consent.

To achieve the purposes associated with this promotional use, we process your data for the lifetime of our products and for as long as you remain a customer. Exceptions are made if you give your consent for a longer period of use and/or if the data is subject to legal retention obligations. In the latter case, the data will be deleted after the retention period has expired. The processing period may be shorter if you exercise your right to object.
