Privacy Notice
NorthBridge Automotive GmbH i.G. is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Notice explains what personal data we process when you visit northbridge-automotive.com, for what purposes, and what rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Controller
NorthBridge Automotive GmbH i.G.
Represented by Victoria Strezova, Geschäftsführerin
Gerichtstrasse 2
65185 Wiesbaden
Germany
Email: Victoria.strezova@northbridge-automotive.com
The company is currently in the process of incorporation and is pending registration in the German commercial register (Handelsregister).
2. What we collect and why
a) Contact form
When you submit the contact form, we process the data you enter, including your name, company, work email address and message. We use this information to respond to your inquiry, communicate with you and, where applicable, prepare or perform a business relationship. Providing the information is voluntary, but we may not be able to respond without the information required to process your inquiry.
The contact form is processed by a script on this website and sent through STRATO’s authenticated mail server to our business mailbox. A short-lived keyed hash of the sender’s IP address is used to limit automated submissions; it is removed from the rate-limit data after 15 minutes.
b) Direct call scheduling
If you choose to schedule a call through Calendly, the booking details you enter there, such as your name, email address and selected appointment time, are processed to arrange the meeting. Calendly processes invitee data on behalf of its customer. You can instead contact us through the contact form or by email.
c) Server log files
When you visit the website, technical information may be processed automatically by the hosting provider, including IP address, browser type, referrer URL, date and time of access and information required to deliver and secure the website. We use this information for the secure and reliable operation of the website, troubleshooting and prevention of misuse. We do not use server log data to create personal marketing profiles.
d) Optional analytics (consent only)
With your consent, given through the cookie/consent banner, we may use Google Analytics provided by Google Ireland Limited to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content and performance. Analytics is activated only after the required consent has been given. If you decline analytics, the analytics tag is not loaded.
3. Legal bases
- Contact form: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where we have a legitimate interest in responding to and managing business inquiries.
- Server logs: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing, securing and maintaining the website.
- Google Analytics: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, based on your consent.
4. Retention
We retain contact inquiries, including messages in our business mailbox, only for as long as necessary to handle the inquiry and any resulting business relationship. Where statutory retention obligations apply, relevant records may be retained for the legally required period. Server log data is retained only for as long as necessary for secure operation and troubleshooting. Analytics data is retained according to the settings configured in the Google Analytics account.
5. Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right to access, rectify, erase and restrict processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability. Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object to such processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email address above.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for our registered office is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Hessischer Beauftragter für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit).
6. Service providers and international data transfers
Google Analytics: Google Ireland Limited provides Google Analytics. Google states that it acts as a processor for Analytics data processed on behalf of its customers. Depending on the configuration and processing involved, data may also be processed outside the EEA. Google provides contractual and transfer mechanisms for international transfers, including applicable adequacy mechanisms and standard contractual clauses. Analytics is used on this website only after the required consent has been obtained.
Hosting and email delivery: The website and the authenticated outgoing mail service used for the contact form are provided by STRATO AG, Pascalstraße 10, 10587 Berlin, Germany. STRATO processes technical data required to provide and secure the website, including server log data, and delivers contact-form messages to our business mailbox. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and reliable website. A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with the hosting provider.
Call scheduling: If you book through Calendly, it processes the information you provide on the booking page as a service provider for scheduling. Calendly states that invitee data is stored in U.S.-based data centers and that it uses transfer safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses. See the Calendly Privacy Notice and its data transfer information.
7. Cookies and consent
Technically necessary cookies or similar technologies may be used where required for the operation and security of the website. Non-essential analytics technologies are activated only after the required consent has been given. You can refuse optional analytics through the consent banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the website footer or the control below.
