This information is processed solely for the purpose of being able to process your request correctly. Your data will only be used to the extent necessary for this purpose. If necessary, e.g. because your inquiry concerns the ordering of printed matter held in stock by another company in the STIHL Group, or as part of the customer support service, your data will be passed on to this other company in the STIHL Group if and to the extent that this is necessary to process your request. The legal basis for the processing of the data described above is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as this is connected with the initiation or performance of a contract with you, e.g. in the event of complaints, or on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we have a justified interest in corresponding with you in business matters.
Communication data will be deleted as long as they are no longer required for exchange with you and any legal retention periods have expired. Telephone conversations with our customer support will only be recorded with your prior consent for quality assurance or training purposes and will be deleted after a maximum of 90 days.

Personal data is used for the preparation of the evaluations only to the extent necessary for the above purposes. As far as possible, the data will be pseudonymized or anonymized before use. To enhance the statistical significance of the evaluations, STIHL also combines the above-mentioned data with information on meteorological and/or geographical features from other data sources such as weather and map services.

The legal basis for the processing of the data described above is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Certain processing operations, such as customer support, are carried out by companies within the STIHL Group. Data is therefore regularly transferred within the group of companies. As a rule, the transfer is based on a contract processing agreement. In other cases, e.g. for the analysis of aggregated data for the purpose of market research, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is the legal basis for transmission, whereby our legitimate interest lies in the efficient design of our processes.
We do not usually pass on your data to recipients based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.

– Right to data transferability according to Art. 20 GDPR,
– Right to appeal to a supervisory authority.

The above general right of objection applies to all processing purposes described in this data protection information which are processed on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR.
