2. Subject of data protection

The subject of data protection is personal data. This is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (so-called affected person). These include e.g. Information such as name, postal address, e-mail address or telephone number, but also information that necessarily arises during the use of the press database, such as information on the beginning, end and extent of use and the transmission of your IP address.

The use of the press database is generally possible without registration. Even if you use the press database without registration, personal data can be processed.

Below you will find an overview of the type, scope, purposes and legal basis of the data processing of the press database.

3.1 Provision of our online service

When accessing the press database through your device, we automatically process the following data:

  • date and time of access,
  • duration of the visit,
  • user devices,
  • used operating system,
  • the features you use
  • amount of sent data,
  • type of event,
  • IP address,
  • referrer URL
  • domain name

These data are processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR to provide the service, to ensure the technical operation and to detect and eliminate interference. We are pursuing the interest of enabling and permanently securing the use of the press database and its technical functionality. When the press database is accessed, this data is processed automatically. Without this provision, you will not be able to use our services. We do not use this data for the purpose of drawing any conclusions about you or your identity.

We usually delete this data after 7 days, unless we exceptionally need it for the purposes mentioned above. In such a case, we will delete the data immediately after the purpose of processing ceases.

3.2 Cookies

When you visit the press database, so-called "cookies", ie small files, can be stored on your device in order to offer you a comprehensive range of functions, to make your usage more comfortable and to optimize our offers. If you do not want to use cookies, you can prevent the storage of cookies on your device by by adjusting the settings of your internet browser or use of the separate contradiction option. Please note that the functionality of our offer may be limited. For detailed information on the nature, extent, purposes, legal bases and possibilities of contradicting the processing of cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy (see below).

4. Recipients of personal data

Internal recipients: Within Porsche AG, only those persons have access who need this for the purposes mentioned in sections 3 and 4 above.

External recipients: We only pass on your personal data to external recipients outside of Porsche AG, if this is necessary for processing your request, if another legal authorization exists or if your consent is available.

External recipients can be:

a) Processor

Group companies of Porsche AG or external service providers that we use for the provision of services, for example in the areas of technical infrastructure and maintenance for Porsche AG's offer or the provision of content. These processors are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by us to ensure your privacy is maintained. The service providers may only use the data for the purposes specified by us and according to our instructions.

b) Public bodies

Authorities and government institutions, such as Prosecutors, courts or tax authorities to whom we must transfer personal data for legally binding reasons. The transmission then takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

c) Private offices

Dealers, cooperation partners or auxiliary persons to whom data are transmitted on the basis of a consent, for the execution of a contract with you or for the protection of legitimate interests, such as Porsche centers, financing banks, providers of other services or transport service providers. The transmission then takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a), (b) and / or (f) GDPR.

5. Storage duration

The storage period for personal data can be found in the respective chapter on data processing in relation to certain services and functions in Section 3 and Section 4. In addition, we generally retain your personal data only as long as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose or - case of consent - as long as you have not revoked the consent. In the event of an objection, we will delete your personal data, unless its further processing is permitted in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions. We delete your personal data even if we are obliged to do so for legal reasons.

Websites and services of other providers to which the press database links are and have been designed and provided by third parties. We have no influence on the design, content and function of these third party services. We expressly dissociate ourselves from all contents of all linked offers of third parties. Please note that the offers of third parties linked from the press database may install own personal cookies on your device or collect personal data. We have no influence on this.

Scope of application

This cookie policy is in addition to the general privacy policy for the Porsche Press Database and describes the nature, scope, purpose and legal basis as well as the possibility of objection to the processing of cookies. Incidentally, the general privacy policy for the Porsche Press Database applies with regard to all other information.

What are cookies?

In order to offer you an extensive range of functions, to make the usage more comfortable and to be able to optimize our offers, we use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small files that are stored on your device using your Internet browser.

Categories of cookies

We use cookies for different purposes and with different functions. Here we differentiate according to whether the cookie is technically imperative (technical necessity), how long it is stored and used (storage period) and whether it was set by the Porsche Press Database itself or by third parties and by which provider of this cookie (cookie provider).

Technical necessity

Technically imperative cookies: We use certain cookies because they are mandatory, so that the Porsche Press Database and its functions can work properly. These cookies are set automatically when visiting the Porsche Press Database or a specific function, unless you have prevented the setting of cookies by settings in your browser.

Technically not necessarily required cookies: On the other hand, not necessarily required cookies are set, for example, to improve the comfort and performance of the Porsche Press Database or to save certain settings you have made. We also use technically not necessarily required cookies to determine the frequency of use of certain areas of the Porsche Press Database, so that we can tailor them in future to better meet your needs. We do not store any technically not necessarily required cookies until you have confirmed by clicking on the corresponding field that you have taken note of our cookie notice and continue to use our Porsche Press Database.

Storage time

Session cookies: Most cookies are only required for the duration of your current service call or session and are deleted or lose their validity as soon as you leave the Porsche Press Database or your current session expires (so-called "session cookies"). For example, session cookies are used to retain certain information such as your Porsche Press Database registration during your session.

Permanent cookies: Cookies are only occasionally stored over a longer period of time, for example to enable you to recognize them at a later time when visiting up the Porsche Press Database again and to call up saved settings. For example, you can access the Porsche Press Database faster or more conveniently, or you may not have to redo certain settings, such as your chosen language. Permanent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period of time when you visit the page or domain from which the cookie was set.

Flow cookies: These cookies are used to communicate between different Porsche internal servers. They are placed at the beginning of a user interaction and deleted after they have finished. Flow cookies receive a unique identification number during the interaction, which, however, does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the actual customer or user.

Third Party Cookies: So-called "third party cookies" are set and used by other sites or websites, such as web analytics tool vendors. For more information on web analytics tools and range measurement, see the remainder of this policy. Third parties may also use cookies to display advertisements or to display social networking content, such as social media. Integrate social plugins.

Use of cookies for web analysis and range measurement (PIWIK)

Our website uses the web analysis tool PIWIK, a software for the statistical evaluation of visitor accesses for website optimization. PIWIK uses cookies, which are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to our server and stored for usage analysis purposes. The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and prior to its storage. You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website.

On our website we use the open-source software tool PIWIK (formerly PIWIK) to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software sets a cookie on the computer of the users (for cookies see above). If individual pages of our website are called, the following data is stored:

  1. Two bytes of the user’s IP address
  2. The visited website
  3. The website from which the user came to the accessed website (referrer)
  4. The subpages that are visited from the previous web page
  5. The length of stay on the website
  6. The frequency of visiting the website

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users takes place only there. A transfer of the data to third parties does not take place.

The software is set so that the IP addresses are not completely stored but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (eg 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the accessing computer is no longer possible.

Deletion and opposition to the use of cookies

Acceptance of cookies when using the Porsche Press Database is not mandatory; If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you can deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of your browser. Saved cookies can be deleted at any time in the system settings of your browser. If you do not accept cookies, however, this may lead to functional restrictions of our offers.

An "opt-out cookie" will be set to prevent the future capture of your data. The opt-out cookie is only valid for the browser used for setting and only for the Porsche Press Database and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in the browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. You can also activate the "Do-Not-Track-Function" in your device. If this function is activated, your device informs the respective service that they do not want to be tracked.

In detail, the following cookies may be stored:
