2. Scope of data processing

2.1 Data processing during visits to the website

2.1.1 Usage data

It is not necessary for you to provide us with personal data simply to visit our website. We only store and use usage data (browser type and version used, operating system, IP address and date and time of the visit). The legal basis for the processing of usage data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of providing the content of the website and ensuring a device- and browser-optimized display.

2.1.2 Cookies

We use cookies, small text files that your browser stores on your computer or smartphone and that can be read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes. Some of these cookies only contain information on certain settings and are not personally identifiable. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and implementation of the site. You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. You can also delete them at any time via the corresponding browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our web pages may then not be displayed in full and some functions may no longer be technically available.

We use the following cookie when the page is accessed: NEXT_LOCALE: This cookie is necessary for language selection. The use of the cookie serves to safeguard our legitimate interest in the functionality of the website within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Other cookies are set in the Investor Relations Portal. These are described in more detail under 2.5.

2.2 Data processing for inquiries

Under "Write to us" or "Contact" you have the option of sending us individual inquiries by email. We store and use the data provided in connection with an email inquiry exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. The legal basis for processing your data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If it is an inquiry aimed at concluding a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. We delete your data if it is no longer required and there are no legal obligations to retain it. With regard to processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time. To do so, please contact [email protected].

We use the processor Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park Leopardstown, Dublin 18, D18 P521, Ireland) for email communication. Data processing is carried out on our behalf on servers in data centers in Europe.

2.3 Data processing when registering in the applicant portal

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us and the companies affiliated with CBR Service GmbH via our applicant portal. If you decide to apply, you will be provided with separate data protection information as part of the application process.

2.4 Data processing when registering in the Investor Relations Portal (Publications)

Under the Investor Relations link in the "Publications" section, information is made available to investors ("qualified institutional buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 or "qualified investors" within the meaning of EU Regulation 2003/71/EC).

For access, it is necessary to contact the IR team by e-mail. The IR team checks the plausibility of the investor status based on the e-mail address and the first name and surname provided by the interested party. If the investor status appears plausible, the interested party is created as a new user (first name, surname, e-mail address) and receives an e-mail with instructions on the steps required to finalize the registration.

The first name, surname and e-mail address are stored until the user informs us that they no longer wish to access the portal or wishes their data to be deleted. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in restricting access to certain company information and avoiding violations of capital market law (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We use the processor Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park Leopardstown, Dublin 18, D18 P521, Ireland) for the registration process. The data is processed on our behalf on servers in data centers in Europe.

When you first log in, after entering your email address, the initial password provided by us and the change to a password of your choice, you will be asked to confirm a disclaimer regarding the qualification of the publications via a checkbox.

This processing is necessary to ensure that you can access the information you have requested without having to repeatedly request confirmations. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in avoiding repeated confirmation requests when visiting our website multiple times (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The cookies/local storage entries we use serve to safeguard this legitimate interest in the implementation of the purposes described within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
