• Cookies and other tracking technologies: This website uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. These cookies allow for saving certain data on your computer upon calling up our website. You may prevent the use of cookies on your computer by choosing certain selections under the settings in your browser; however, the range of functions of our internet presence may be limited by this.

We may also obtain Personal Information from other sources. For instance, we may collect Personal Information about you from the following third-parties:
• Payment processors: In general, when you purchase Products through our Site, your payment card information is provided directly to our third-party payment processing partners, and BayWa does not collect or store that information. However, we may have access to limited information about your payment card from these partners and related transaction details, such as the last four digits of your card, the country of issuance, and the expiration date.
• Your employer: Your employer may provide us with certain information about you, including your business contact information and information relevant to your role and job duties.
• Business partners: We may collect information about you from our business partners who may provide us with your business contact information in the course of their dealings with us.
• Other sources: We may also collect information related to your responsibilities or position in an organization from publicly available sources such as trade registers, corporate websites, and other internet sites and third parties that help us update, expand, and analyze our records and inform our networking and marketing efforts. For instance, we may use information from LinkedIn or from a third-party data provider to update information about you in our contact database.
We may combine the information we collect about you from these various sources. If a combination of information that we collect identifies you as an individual, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.

We use the information described above to do the following:
• Conduct customer acquisition and outreach (including identifying and contacting prospective customers and engaging in customer communications such as newsletters and email marketing);
• Conduct standard pre-contract due diligence (including verifying identity, determining qualifications, conducting background checks, and screening owners, shareholders and directors of our customers, vendors, and business partners against publicly available and government-issued sanctions lists and media sources. For the avoidance of doubt, this screening does not involve profiling or automated decision making with respect to the screening subject);

• Conduct data analysis (including de-identifying and/or aggregating information and using it to perform research and provide statistical information and trend data)
• Protect against, identify, investigate, and respond to misuse of our Services (including preventing and detecting fraud, unauthorized access, and other unlawful behavior);
• Support our general business operations (including maintaining our business and legal recordkeeping); and
• Carry out any other purpose described to you at the time the information was collected.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
You have a variety of rights and choices related to our use of your Personal Information.
• Opting out of promotional messages. From time to time, we may extend offers or other promotional communications to our business contacts. You can opt out of receiving our promotional messages at any time. You may do so by contacting us directly or by following the opt-out instructions in the promotional emails or texts we send you.

If you opt out of receiving such communications, please be aware that we may continue to send you non-promotional emails (such as emails related to our business relationship).
• Restricting cookies/Do Not Track. BayWa does not currently change its behavior in response to web browser “do not track” signals. However, you can configure most browsers to reject cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you a chance to decide whether or not to accept it. You can consult the help section of your browser to find out how to do this. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Site. In the event that a universally accepted standard emerges on how organizations should respond to “do not track” signals, we will assess and provide an appropriate response to those signals.
• Accessing, updating, or deleting your personal information. If you would like to access, update, or delete Personal Information you have provided you may do so by emailing us at ussy.privacy@baywa-re.com. Please note that we may keep certain Personal Information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations or for legitimate business purposes, such as to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. We may also keep cached archived copies of Personal Information for a certain period of time. In the event that BayWa cannot delete your Personal Information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
We have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to help prevent unauthorized access, to maintain data security, and to correctly use the information we collect from and about you. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that your Personal information will never be disclosed, altered or destroyed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Notice.
DATA TRANSFER
Personal Information we collect may be stored and processed for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice in the United States or in any country where we have operations or where we engage vendors or service providers. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you originally provided the data. By using our Services or submitting your Personal Information to us, you agree to such transfers.
DATA RETENTION
We only keep your Personal Information for so long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as required by law, or as necessary to resolve disputes and enforce our rights and agreements. To dispose of Personal Information, we may anonymize it, delete it, or take other appropriate steps. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.
LIABILITY FOR LINKS
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, and applications that are not operated or controlled by BayWa. We have no influence on the contents of these websites and this Privacy Notice does not apply the privacy practices of those third parties. The respective providers or operators shall be solely responsible for the contents of the linked websites. The fact that we link to a website, service, or application is not an endorsement, authorization, or representation of our affiliation with that third party. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party service before providing any Personal Information to or through them.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our Services are intended for adults and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children.
