In this privacy policy, we inform you about our processing activities in our various product categories. In our Cookie Statement, you will also find information about the data processing on our website. This allows you to see at a glance which of your personal data we process for what purposes and on what legal basis.
Scope and Contact
This privacy policy applies to DriveDuel.com.
If you have any questions about data protection, please contact office@DriveDuel.com.
I. Handling of Data Protection at DriveDuel.com
We take very seriously the responsibility we have for our customers' data. Therefore, we process your data in accordance with legal regulations (GDPR, DPA, and TKG 2003). We always pay attention to the data protection compliance of our service providers and cooperation partners in their selection.
If we collect data directly from you (e.g., via forms), you are free to provide this data. However, since these data processing activities are necessary for activities such as completing a vehicle request or evaluating a vehicle, you may not be able to use some of our services if you choose not to provide your data.
Our editorial content is aimed at a general audience and is not intended to target children under 14 years of age. Therefore, the following privacy policy does not contain further information on handling children's data.
Before providing detailed information about our data processing activities, we want to explain some basic terms of data protection and our general approach to these topics.
Personal data refers to data by which a natural person can be identified. Therefore, all data that allow conclusions to be drawn about you as an individual (in addition to your name, for example, also your email address or billing address) are personal data.
Pseudonymized data, where conclusions can only be drawn through the use of additional data sets (such as your IP address), are also considered personal data.
Purpose limitation is the central fundamental principle of data protection. This means that your data may only be processed for a specific purpose. Furthermore, they may only be processed for as long as that purpose exists. Thus, data processing activities are only possible to a limited extent, both in terms of their basis and duration.
Data protection law operates on a principle of prohibition: the processing of personal data is generally prohibited. Processing is lawful only if a legal basis applies. Several legal bases may be considered for this purpose: the most common legal bases in practice are contract fulfillment, consent, and legitimate interest.
Contract fulfillment: If the processing of your data is a requirement for fulfilling a concluded contract, we must be able to process this data. This is the case, for example, when you request a vehicle offer through us.
Legitimate interest: Data protection law conducts a balancing of various interests. It may happen that sometimes our legitimate interests outweigh your interest in protecting your data. The most common legitimate interests in practice are: data security, prevention of misuse, data transmission within corporate groups for internal administrative purposes, freedom of opinion and information, enforcement of legal claims, and generally advertising measures.
Consent: If there is no other legal basis for data processing, but we would still like to process your data, we will ask for your consent beforehand. This is especially the case with our sales activities (such as a newsletter with partner offers). Consent is only valid if given voluntarily and with full knowledge of the facts. Therefore, it is particularly important for us to provide you with comprehensive information when collecting data.
We keep the circle of recipients of your data as small as possible and outsource as little as possible to service providers. In cases where we commission service providers, you will find them listed in the respective product category under point II. Furthermore, we carefully examine requests from authorities or third parties for disclosure of your data from a legal perspective and only disclose them if there is a legal obligation to do so.
We only store your data for as long as necessary to fulfill the respective purposes of data processing activities. The duration of data processing also depends in particular on legal retention periods and limitation periods for potential legal claims.
II. Processing Activities of our Customer Data

In the business sector, we also use telephone and email to contact our cooperation and business partners. Consent is also a prerequisite for contacting entrepreneurs via these communication channels. However, lower requirements are placed on the type of obtaining consent in the business sector. For example, in the business sector, the publication of contact information on websites or other publicly accessible means, as well as membership in an association or political party, are considered consent to contact.

If the contest is conducted by one of our cooperation partners, we will pass on your contact details to the contest organizer for the purpose of informing you about your prize.

We do this for editorial reasons, and we also use the opportunity for economic reasons to make our website available to third parties as advertising space.
We process your data in accordance with legal regulations (GDPR, DSG, and TKG 2003). Before we deploy cookies on our website, we ask for your consent. You can also express your consent simply by continuing to use our website after being informed about our cookie usage.
Cookies are text files that can be stored on the visitor's computer of a website if the visitor's browser settings allow it. Information can be written to these text files that can be read again at a later time. A cookie is bound to a specific domain and contains information that can only be read again from this domain.
Third parties can also receive the opportunity to write cookies on our website. This is technically possible by embedding functionalities into this website that are provided under the domain of the third party (see point V.).
All common browsers allow the control of setting cookies and the setting of their storage duration. This can generally prevent the setting of cookies on your device and shorten the storage duration of cookies. If you want to control cookies on your computer, you can also choose your browser settings so that you receive a notification when a website wants to store cookies. You can find more detailed information in your browser's help menu or at http://www.aboutcookies.org.
You can delete already set cookies either directly by manual deletion in the corresponding folder on your hard drive or by deletion via the appropriate function of your browser. If you need assistance with withdrawing your consent to the use of cookies, please contact office@DriveDuel.com.

II. Processed Data Categories
When you use our website, we generally process your IP address, the name and version of your web browser, cookies identifying your web browser, which pages you visit on our website and when exactly (URL, date, time), and the website you visited before accessing our website. Your web browser transmits all this data to us when you visit our website.
In detail, these are the following data:
- Your IP address: This is used to determine the country from which you are visiting us, in order to offer regionally different content, and also for statistical evaluation of visitors by country.
- URL: We use the URL you accessed to evaluate how often a specific article has been accessed.
- Timestamp: The time of accessing the URL (date and time) is used to restrict statistical evaluations to specific periods.
- Referrer URL: This is the URL of the page from which you came to the current page by clicking on a link. We use this for statistical evaluation to measure which (external) pages link to one of our pages.
- User-Agent string: This represents the name and version of the browser used and serves us for optimizing the display and user-friendliness of our website.
- All cookies processed by www.DriveDuel.com (see Cookie Appendix).

In addition to the data that accrues when you use our website, we also process data that you provide to us yourself by filling out contact forms or (if available) by registering on our website. More information about these processing activities can be found in our Privacy Policy.
III. Legal Basis of Processing
In data protection, cookies requiring your consent before they can be stored on your device are distinguished from cookies that may be stored without your consent according to the Telecommunications Act, as they are strictly necessary for us to provide you with our service. The majority of our cookies are those for which no consent is required. We only set the remaining cookies after obtaining your consent.
The legal basis for setting cookies is therefore either your consent or the exception provision provided for in the Telecommunications Act. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is our overriding legitimate interest. With regard to the processing activities carried out by our cookies, this interest lies in data security measures, prevention of misuse, website optimization, and advertising measures.
A detailed overview of which cookies we process on which legal basis and due to which legitimate interest can be found in the Cookie Appendix.

V. Processing activities of third parties on our website
As an online platform, we rely on integrating third-party content into our website. We do this, on the one hand, for editorial reasons by incorporating content that supports our offerings or provides a service to our customers, and also by integrating social media plugins to enable the sharing of our editorial and forum posts on social media platforms. On the other hand, we utilize the opportunity to provide our website to third parties as advertising space for economic reasons.
When third parties process your data on our website, the responsibility for data protection compliance lies with the respective third parties.
As an online platform, we are not exempt from the need for financing options. You can find a detailed list of third parties that carry out data processing on our website in our cookie appendix and in the appendix "Processing activities of third parties". There, we also refer to their privacy policies, where you can find more information.
A. Third-party content ("embeds")
For editorial reasons, we primarily integrate third-party content into our website. An up-to-date overview of the embedded content can be found in our appendix "Processing activities of third parties".
B. Social media plugins
We integrate all common social media platforms into our website to provide you with the opportunity to share our editorial content on social networks.
The social media plugins located at the beginning of an article text only activate the respective function when clicked, thus establishing a connection with the respective social media platform. For this purpose, we use the privacy-compliant solution Shariff (here the Shariff is described in detail). We would like to point out that as website operators, we have no knowledge of the complete content of the transmitted data or its use by the respective social media platform. If you click on social media plugins while logged into your social media account, you can link the content of our pages to your social media account. As a result, the social media platform can assign the visit to our pages to your account. If you do not wish this, please log out of your social media account.
An up-to-date overview of our social media plugins can be found in our appendix "Processing activities of third parties".
C. Digital advertising
When we provide third parties with advertising space on our website, we enable them to integrate their advertising content using so-called tags. In digital advertising, two advertising methods have become established: either a specific tag is integrated into a advertising space booked with us (so-called tag-in-tag advertising) or advertisers bid on advertising space on our website via an automated process, on which they integrate their tags (so-called programmatic advertising). Through the integrated tags, third parties may also set cookies on your device.
In the appendix "Processing activities of third parties", you can get an up-to-date overview of all our cooperation partners.

If you wish to exercise your rights, we ask you for proof of your identity for data security reasons by means of a copy of your identity card.
Please note that especially with data regularly processed in cookies (online identifiers, IP address), reidentification of your person is either excluded in the overwhelming majority of cases or not possible for us, and we can only respond to your requests to a very limited extent in these cases due to the lack of assignability of this data to your person. Please direct your data protection inquiries to office@DriveDuel.com.
You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. If you have any questions about revoking your consent to the use of cookies, please contact office@DriveDuel.com.

Therefore, they are responsible for the data processing's compliance with data protection regulations.

B. Categories by cookie type
In practice, cookies are typically categorized into the following three categories: functional cookies, analytical cookies, and advertising cookies. The presentation of processing activities on our website follows this logic.

- Social plugin cookies: Social network cookies are divided into cookies that enable content sharing and those that store user behavior on the internet. Your consent is not required for the former as long as only data from users logged into the social network are processed. All other social plugin cookies require your consent to be obtained by the respective website.
- Advertising cookies: Third-party advertising on a website facilitated by the integration of third-party content requires your consent to be obtained by the respective advertiser (see Section VI).
