We take the protection of your privacy and your personal data very seriously. Therefore, we only process your personal data in accordance with the content of this privacy policy and the GDPR.

Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; a natural person is considered as being identifiable, directly or indirectly, in particular by means of an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person can be identified. This includes all information about your identity such as your name, your e-mail address or postal address, your customer number and online identifiers. Information that cannot be linked to your identity (such as the number of online users), on the other hand, is not personally identifiable information.

You can use our online and mobile offers without revealing your identity and without providing any personal data. When using our online shop, the BlueHorizon portal, the apps and some services of the Miele website and the apps, however, collect your personal information.

Storage of personal data

Your data will be stored by us on specially protected servers. These are protected by technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorised persons. Access to your data is only possible for a few authorised persons. These are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers.

Your personal data is encrypted and transmitted over the Internet. We use SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) for data transmission.

Legal basis of data processing

Insofar as we obtain consent for the processing of your personal data, Art. 6(1) lit. (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing.

Insofar as your personal data is processed because this is necessary to fulfil a contract or in the context of a contract-like relationship with you, Art. 6(1) lit. (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing.

Insofar as we process your personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation, Art. 6(1) lit. (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing.

As a legal basis for the data processing, Art. 6(1) lit. (f) GDPR applies if the processing of your personal data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not require the protection of your personal data.

As part of this Privacy Policy, we will always state the legal basis on which we base the processing of your personal data.

Destruction of data and storage duration

We always delete or block your personal data whenever the purpose of the storage is omitted. However, it can also be stored if this is provided for by the legal requirements to which we are subject, for example with regard to statutory retention and documentation obligations. In such a case, we will delete or block your personal data after the end of the respective requirements.

Data processing with general use of our offers

Information about the usage and communication device you are using

Each time you access our online and mobile offers, we collect the following information about the device you are using: the IP address, the request from your browser, and the date and time of this request. In addition, the status and the amount of data transferred are recorded as part of this request. We also collect product and version information about the browser used and the operating system of the device, as well as the Internet service provider. We continue to track which website accessed the service.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We process this data so that the content, for example the website, can be displayed on your device. In addition, we use the data for the operation of the online and mobile services and to detect and eliminate errors, to determine the utilisation of the online and mobile services and to make adjustments or improvements.

At the same time, these purposes justify the legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The IP address of your device will be stored only for the time of use of the online or mobile offer and then deleted or shortened. The data is stored for a limited period of time.

Use of cookies

We use cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your computer and that store certain settings and data for sharing with us online about your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie file was sent, as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier. Depending on content and storage duration, there are different types of cookies. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies", which are deleted when you end your browser session. In addition, there are some long-lasting cookies by which we are able to recognise you as a visitor. Many cookies come directly from us, in addition, the storage and evaluation of individual cookies come from service providers (so-called "third-party cookies").

We inform you about the use of cookies in advance with a corresponding note on a banner.

Some cookies are technically required in order to enable you to use our online and mobile services. These cookies allow us to collect and store the following data:

• Language settings
• Search settings
• Contents of an online form
• Information for identifying or authenticating the user
• Products in the shopping cart
• Products on the notepad
• Products from the purchase consultant

In addition, on our website, we use cookies that allow an analysis of your user behaviour, so-called analysis cookies. These cookies allow us to collect and store the following data:

• Frequency of page views
• Searches
• Use of Internet page functions

Your data collected by means of cookies are pseudonymised so that the data cannot be matched to the respective user.

The legal basis for the processing of data by means of cookies is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cookies allow us to recognise your computer and make any presets available immediately. Cookies help us to improve the online offer and offer you a better and more user-friendly service. The use of cookies is necessary to make the use of our online offers easier. Some features can only be offered through the use of cookies. This concerns the search, online forms, customer account, shopping cart and notepad.

We use analysis cookies to improve and optimise the quality of our online offers and their content.

At the same time, these purposes justify the legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The technically necessary cookies we use are so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted after the end of the browser session. The remaining cookies are stored on your computer. You can delete these saved cookies yourself at any time. Most browsers are also set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can disable the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are sent. Please note that you may be limited or unable to use our online service if you refuse to accept cookies.

To analyse the user behaviour for the purposes mentioned above, we use the following programs, which in turn use cookies as explained. The stored data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the purposes mentioned.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics for statistical analysis. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94034, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by using a corresponding setting on your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. In addition, you may prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
For more information, see http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de or http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information about Google Analytics and privacy). We point out that on our website Google Analytics was extended under the code "anonymizeIp ();" in order to anonymise the IP addresses, whereby the last octet is deleted.

Retargeting and Remarketing

Retargeting or remarketing refers to technologies in which users who have previously visited a certain website are shown appropriate advertising even after leaving this website. For this purpose, it is necessary to recognise Internet users beyond their own website, for which purpose cookies of the corresponding service providers are used. In addition, the previous usage behaviour is considered. For example, if a user views certain products, they may later display these or similar products as advertisements on other websites. It is personalised advertising that is adapted to the needs of each user. It is not necessary for this personalised advertisement to be identified beyond the recognition of the user. The data used for the retargeting or remarketing will therefore not be merged with other data.

We use such technologies to display ads on the Internet. We use third-party providers to deliver such ads. We use, among other things, offers from Google, which allows an automatic display of interesting products for the Internet user. This function is implemented by cookies. For more information about this technology, see Google Privacy Policy under https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de: The installation of cookies for Google Remarketing and Google AdWords Conversion Tracking can be prevented by setting the respective browser software by accessing the website http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ads/ and changing the corresponding setting.

The site uses Google Retargeting Tags, Appnexus and Performance Profiles to promote Miele products. The retargeting JavaScript codes implemented on this website store a cookie on the user's computer for the purpose of retargeting. At a later date, the user will be provided with Miele banners or text ads, provided that the user acts on Google Search websites as well as Google's Display Networks, Appnexus and Performance Profiles. All data is recorded anonymously so that it is not possible to draw any conclusions about specific persons. Users can opt out of retargeting functionality by modifying the Google Remarketing Tags display or disabling retargeting. Alternatively, users may disable the use of third-party cookies by using the network advertising initiative's opt-out page or object to each network individually.

The use of the applicant portal is voluntary; you can also send us your application in other ways, for example by e-mail or by post.

Upon receipt of an application via the applicant portal, your documents will be forwarded to the responsible employees electronically. Insofar as you have applied for an advertised position, the documents will be automatically deleted six months after completion of the recruitment procedure, provided deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests. Such legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, proof requirements in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (GETA). In the case of an application without reference to an advertised position (unsolicited application), the application will be kept for as long as there is a possibility that the application may be of interest. At any time you have the option of requesting the deletion of your application prior to expiry of the scheduled retention periods. In the case of a successful application, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of the employment relationship in compliance with the legal requirements.

If you have not given us your consent in writing, we will use the so-called double-opt-in procedure for registering for our newsletter, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed to us that we should activate the newsletter dispatch. We will then send you a notification e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link in this e-mail.

The legal basis for processing your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. (a) GDPR, if you have explicitly registered for the newsletter. In accordance with legal requirements, it may also be possible for you to receive our newsletter from us without your explicit consent or for us to contact you by e-mail, because you have ordered goods or services from us. In this context your e-mail address and you have not objected to receiving information by e-mail. In this case, our legitimate interest in transmitting direct mail is pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit.

If you altogether no longer want to receive newsletters from us, you can revoke your once given consent at any time with effect for the future or object to the further receipt of the newsletter without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Adform

To improve the comfort and quality of our services, we use conversion tracking and retargeting technology, both services provided by Adform ApS, Wildersgade 10B, 1, 1408 Copenhagen K, Denmark, Denmark.

Our online offers use adform conversion tracking. The temporary conversion tracking cookie is set when a user contacts an Adform ad.

Users who do not wish to participate in tracking may disable the cookie from Adform via their Internet browser or object to data collection and storage at any time for the future here (https://site.adform.com/datenschutz-opt-out/). Cookies already stored on your computer can be deleted in your browser or deleted by deleting temporary Internet pages.

Our online offers use Adform retargeting technology. This makes it possible to target those Internet users who have already taken an interest in our website and our products on websites of our partners. The insertion of the advertising material takes place during retargeting on the basis of a cookie-based analysis of the previous user behaviour. This is a temporary cookie that expires after 60 days. If you do not want to be shown interest-based advertising by Adform, you may opt out of collecting and storing data for the future here (https://site.adform.com/datenschutz-opt-out/) at any time. For more information about Adform's Privacy Policy, see: https://site.adform.com/datenschutz-opt-out/

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, whereby the improvement of comfort and quality of our online offers justifies our legitimate interest.

Amazon Conversion Pixel and Amazon Remarketing Pixel

Our online offers use Amazon Web Analytics services Amazon Conversion Pixel and Amazon Remarketing Pixel functions. The provider, respectively, is Amazon.com, Inc., 410 Terry Ave. North Seattle, WA, United States. The Amazon Conversion Pixel and the Amazon Remarketing Pixel also use cookies that are stored on your computer that allow us to analyse the use of the Website by you, as well as personalised advertising.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by using a corresponding setting on your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible.

Alternatively, you can select the appropriate settings at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/en. An opt-out cookie will then be set in your browser, which prevents the future collection of your data by the Amazon Pixels when visiting our website. This opposition is valid as long as you do not delete the opt-out cookie.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, whereby improving the comfort and quality of our services justifies our legitimate interest.

Facebook Custom Audiences

Our online offers use the Facebook Customer's remarketing feature "Custom Audiences" ("Facebook"). This allows users of the website to be shown interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") as part of their visit to the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the process. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you in order to make our online offers more interesting to you. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6(1)(1) lit. (f) GDPR.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected through the use of this tool by Facebook and therefore inform you that according to our knowledge: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online services or have clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a service of Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a chance that the provider will find out and store your IP address and other identifying features.

Disabling the "Facebook Custom Audiences" feature is available to logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_.

For more information about data processing through Facebook, please visit https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Social media plugins

Our online offers use the social media plug-in of the social network Facebook. Facebook will be available at www.facebook.com, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, and at www.facebook.dk operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

An overview of Facebook plug-ins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins; You can find further information on Facebook's Privacy Policy at the following link: www.facebook.com/policy.php

Facebook may receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online service and possibly interacted with the plug-in. By activating the plug-in, your personal data will be saved and sent to Facebook in the USA.

We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purpose of the processing, or the retention periods. We also have no information on how to delete the data collected by Facebook.

Facebook stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailor-made website design.

Miele & datasikkerhed

Som producent af kvalitetsprodukter med lang levetid stiller Miele ligeledes høje krav til data- og internetsikkerheden på sine produkter med internettilslutning, apps og webapplikationer. Selv om vi gør alt for at identificere og eliminere svagheder på forhånd, kan der på trods af alle disse forebyggende foranstaltninger aldrig opnås 100 procent sikkerhed ved brugen af informationsteknologi.

Derfor er Miele interesseret i at modtage information fra dig om mulige eller opdagede risici ved datasikkerheden, som du måtte have konstateret ved brugen af vores produkter med internettilslutning, apps eller webapplikationer.

Til rapportering af svagheder samt information om internetsikkerhed hos Miele, bedes du venligst bruge vores internationale internetside under følgende link:

Også selv om du ikke er helt sikker, vil vi behandle din henvendelse og kontakte dig, hvis vi har flere spørgsmål.
