Whenever you visit this specific website and if you have consented the following categories of data are stored and shared with MBAG, MBM, Zung Fu Company Limited, Zung Fu Motors (Macau) Limited and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Hong Kong Limited:

• For analysis purposes:

• For marketing purposes:
- Salesforce Interaction Studio
- Salesforce Audience Studio
- Adobe Target
It is obligatory for you to provide the aforementioned data to us. Otherwise, some of the functions or features of this specific website may not be fully functional.
For what purpose and on what legal basis is your personal data processed?
The personal data collected during your visit on this websites is used for conducting personalization and targeted advertising measures. Moreover, the website usage behavior is analyzed to improve website usability and enhance digital products and campaigns. In addition, that data is used for statistical reports.
Within the scope of the joint controllership, your personal data is processed based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your consent is optional and may be withdrawn at any time through the Consent Management Platform of this specific website. The lawfulness of data processing before such withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Will my data be sent to a third country?
When passing on data to third parties based on your consent, personal data may be provided from within the European Union ("EU") or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to recipients in countries outside the EU or EEA, i. e., in a so-called third country.
In some third countries, from the EEA's point of view, an adequate level of personal data protection (so-called "adequacy") exists, in compliance with EU standards. With other recipients in third countries, MBAG and MBM agree on the use of EU standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules or other applicable instruments to create an "adequate level of protection" according to legal requirements. For more information, please contact one of the controllers.
How long will my data be stored?
Your personal data will be stored until the purpose for which it was collected and processed has been fulfilled. Beyond this period, data storage only takes place to the extent made necessary by applicable legislation, regulations or other legal provisions in the European Economic Area or in third countries if these have an adequate level of data protection. If personal data must be retained on such basis, the relevant personal data are flagged to restrict their further processing.
What rights do I have under GDPR?
According to GDPR, you have certain rights regarding the processing of your personal data. Making you aware of these rights is very important to Mercedes-Benz:
Right of access: You can request access to your personal data processed by us (Art. 15 GDPR).
Right to correction of inaccurate data: You have a right to request correction of your personal data, in case it is inaccurate (Art. 16 GDPR).
Right to deletion: You have the right to request deletion of you personal data. The criteria allow you to request the deletion of your personal data if, for example, it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. You can also demand the deletion of your personal data if it is unlawfully processed, or if you have rightfully objected to the processing of your data, revoked your consent to the same or there is a legal obligation to delete it (Art. 17 GDPR).
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your data. This right especially applies for the duration of the review if you have disputed the accuracy of your personal data, as well as in the case that, for an existing right to deletion, you request restricted processing instead of erasure. Furthermore, there will be restricted processing if the data is no longer required for legitimate purposes, but you still need the data in order to assert, exercise or defend legal rights, as well as if the successful assertion of an objection is in dispute between you and MOC, MBAG and/or MBM (Art. 18 GDPR).
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, common, machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR), insofar as the data has not been deleted already.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: If you feel that processing of your data is not in line with the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in an EU member state, e.g., a data protection agency responsible for your place of residence, workplace or location where the alleged data protection violation occurred (Art. 77 GDPR).
If you wish to assert one of your rights or receive more information, please contact one of the controllers stated above. Preferably, please contact the MOC.
