Protection of your personal data
Data protection and the protection of your privacy are important to us. Accordingly, we process personal data only in accordance with the applicable legal provisions for data protection and data security, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable Data Protection Law. In doing so, we are guided by the principle of data minimisation. Our employees are bound to confidentiality and secrecy.
Our website can be used without registration, i.e. without actively disclosing your identity or manually entering personal data. Nevertheless, personal data is collected each time you visit our website. It may also be necessary to provide your personal data in the course of use, e.g. when you contact us. The following Privacy Policy informs you about the processing of your personal data when using our website, the measures taken to protect your data and your rights as a data subject.
Visiting our website
Description and scope of data processing
When you visit our website “www.marelli.com” information is automatically sent to the server of our website by the browser used on your end device. This information is temporarily stored in a log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion:
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the file accessed
- Website from which access was made (referrer URL)
- Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer
- Name of your access provider
The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to the user.
Purpose of data processing
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website
- Ensuring a comfortable use of our website
- Evaluation of system security and stability
- Evaluation of user behaviour
- Other administrative purposes
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. In this specific context, we do not use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person for marketing purposes.
In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed explanations on this under point “Cookies, plugins and web analytics” of this Privacy Policy.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR, since a user relationship exists, as well as Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection described above.
Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is generally the case when the respective session has ended. If IP addresses are stored in log files in an unabbreviated form, the personal data is deleted or anonymised after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible in connection with cookies or analysis services. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or shortened so that an assignment is not possible. You can find more detailed explanations on this under section “Cookies, plugins and web analytics” of this Privacy Policy.
Forms on the website
In connection with forms, no collection and processing of personal data takes place on our website.
Cookies, plugins and web analytics
In the following, we describe in detail which cookies, analysis tools and plugins we use, which data is processed in this context and how you can deactivate the analysis tools. The term “cookies” may also be used as a generic term for plug-ins and analysis tools of all kinds.
What are cookies?
Cookies are sometimes used when using our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by the browser and stored on the end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) of the user when visiting the website. Cookies do not cause any damage to the end device and do not contain viruses, trojans or other malware. Information is stored in the cookie that is related to the specific end device used. Cookies can be automatically recognised and read during a current visit or during the next visit. This does not mean, however, that the website operator gains immediate knowledge of the user’s identity.
Cookies make the visit to the website more user-friendly by remembering personal settings or serve the advertising interests of the website operator. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyse behaviour patterns of page use, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. So-called session cookies are used, among other things, to recognise that the user has already visited individual pages of the website. These are automatically deleted after you leave the site.
If you leave our site and go to a third party site, the target site may also set cookies. We are not legally responsible for these cookies. For the use of these cookies by third parties and the information stored in them, please compare the Privacy Policy there.
Legal basis for cookies, analysis tools and plugins
We may store cookies on your device if they are technically necessary for the operation of the website. Necessary cookies help to make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation or language selection. The website cannot function in part without such cookies. The data thereby processed for the named purposes serve to protect legitimate interests that are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests and are therefore necessary in accordance with the principle of proportionality. The legal basis for technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.
For all other cookie types, we require your consent. You can specifically select these as explicit opt-in consents in a dialogue window (cookie consent window) during your first visit to our website. This sets a cookie in your system that contains your cookie settings and signals to our system which cookies have been accepted each time you visit our website. You can change or revoke your cookie settings on our website at any time. Instructions on how to deactivate cookies can be found below. The legal basis for all other cookie types is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR, insofar as you have given your consent.
If you delete all cookies, this will have the effect that the cookie with your cookie settings will also be deleted, so that you will have to determine your cookie preferences again. The limitation of cookies can lead to limited functionality of the website.
How do we use cookies, analytics tools and plugins? Purpose of data processing
Within the scope of cookies, analysis tools and plug-ins, the name of the Internet service provider, requested files, IP address, access to individual pages, browser type, screen resolution, colour depth, operating system, search terms and reference pages from which you have reached our web pages are processed, among other things.
The data contained in session cookies or other cookies are processed by us for the following purposes:
- Ensuring the smooth operation of the website
- Ensuring a comfortable use of our website
- system security and stability
- for further administrative or advertising purposes.
We process and use the data collected to improve the marketing of our websites, to increase the user-friendliness of the websites and for other optimisation purposes. The analysis required for marketing and optimisation purposes does not generally allow us to draw any direct conclusions about your person or personal data. In particular, no names, addresses, telephone numbers or other data that can be directly assigned to individuals are stored. The analysis only provides aggregated data, such as the number of visitors and page views.
Among other things, cookies allow us to adapt our website to your wishes, to establish connections between different calls to our website or to save your password in the browser so that you do not have to re-enter it each time.
We also use cookies for targeted advertising. We also allow third-party vendors and automated data collection tools to use cookies so that they can help us deliver our own content and ads and measure the effectiveness of our advertising efforts. For registered users, the information collected on our websites is not anonymous. We use this information together with other information we know or infer about you, such as your preferences, to provide content, services and advertisements tailored to you.
We currently use the cookies listed and described in more detail below on our website.
Duration of storage
Some cookies are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e. after the browser is closed (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on the end device and make it possible to recognise the user on the next visit (persistent cookies). The specific duration of storage can be found in our cookie list below and in the overview in the cookie settings of your web browser. In all other respects, the general storage principles apply.
Deactivation of cookies

You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details.
Right to rectification
In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us without delay.
Right to erasure
You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its erasure, we no longer require the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.
Right to data portability
You have the right, in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller.
Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law
In accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.
If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal, it is sufficient to notify us accordingly via all known communication channels, in particular also by email to privacy@marelli.com.
Right to complain to a supervisory authority
You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or our company headquarters for this purpose.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
