Cautions regarding forward-looking statements

Internet pages, investor relations releases, annual and interim reports, outlooks, presentations, audio and video files of events (live or recorded) and other documents on this website contain among other things forwardlooking statements that reflect management's current views with respect to future events. The words "anticipate", "assume", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "project" and "should" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: an economic downturn in Europe or North America; changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and in raw material prices; introduction of competing products; increased sales incentives; the successful implementation of the new business model for smart; and decline in resale prices of used vehicles. If any of these or other risks and uncertainties occur (some of which are described under the heading "Risk Report" in Mercedes-Benz Group AG's most recent Annual Report and under the heading "Risk Factors" in Mercedes-Benz Group AG’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, then actual results may be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements. We do not intend or assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date on which it is made.

LinkedIn
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for the collection and further processing of personal user data on LinkedIn’s web pages. Please note that LinkedIn will collect and process certain information about your visit to our LinkedIn page even if you do not have a LinkedIn user account or are not logged on to LinkedIn. For information on the processing of personal data by LinkedIn please see the Privacy Policy of LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=d_org_guest_company_overview_footer-privacy-policy.

As the operator of this LinkedIn page, we can see only your public LinkedIn profile. The information displayed here depends on your profile settings. We also process your personal data (such as your name and the content of your messages, inquiries or other posts to us) if you contact us via our LinkedIn page. We then process this data for the purpose of processing and responding to (if applicable) your posts accordingly. Depending on the reason and content of communications, this processing is pursuant to our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) (f) EU General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”), particularly in order to contact you regarding your inquiries or posts, or pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the conclusion of an agreement with us.

LinkedIn also provides us with Page Analytics data. This relates to anonymous statistics that we can use to evaluate the quality of our LinkedIn page and our content. These statistics are generated on the basis of usage data that LinkedIn collects on your interaction with our LinkedIn page. We do not have access to this usage data. LinkedIn has warranted to us that it will assume responsibility for compliance with the applicable obligations regarding the Page Analytics data and the fulfilment of your rights under the GDPR (see below for more information) and to provide you with the main points of the applicable agreement to this effect (https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum).

This processing is pursuant to our legitimate interest under Art. 6, (1) (f) GDPR, particularly to identify user preferences (such as the number of followers, number of interactions with individual page areas, user statistics by age, geography and language) and to tailor and improve the content on our LinkedIn page for our target audience as far as possible.

We will store your personal data on our systems, i.e. outside LinkedIn, if and as long as needed for the purposes of collection, or as required by legal record-keeping obligations.

You are neither legally nor contractually obligated to share your personal data. Nevertheless, a processing of your personal data by LinkedIn is inevitable if you want to visit our LinkedIn page.

It is possible that some of the information collected will also be processed outside the European Union by LinkedIn Corporation and its US subsidiaries (“LinkedIn”) headquartered in the US. To ensure an adequate level of data protection, LinkedIn bases such data transmission on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.

We use qualified service providers (interactive marketing agencies) to design and manage this LinkedIn page. We share personal data with them only if needed for the aforementioned purposes (such as responding to your inquiries), to pursue legitimate interests or if you have granted consent. We have concluded the required data protection documents, particularly in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, with these providers. Your rights are as follows:

  • According to Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to access information about the data saved by us. This means that you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed and, if so, you have a right to information about this personal data. The right of access includes, among other things, information about the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data being processed and the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed. However, this right is not unlimited because your right to information may be limited by the rights of other persons.

  • According to Article 16 GDPR, you have the right to order the rectification of incorrect data. This means that you can request for us to correct erroneous personal data concerning you. In consideration of the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

  • According to Article 17 GDPR, you have the right to have personal data relating to you erased. This means that, under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we erase personal data concerning you and that we are obligated to erase personal data.

  • According to Article 18 GDPR, you have the right to demand restricted processing of your personal data. This means that – in this case – the corresponding data will be marked and will be processed by us only for certain purposes (e.g. with your consent or to assert legal claims).

  • According to Article 20 GDPR, under certain conditions you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us in a structured, current and machine-readable format, and can transmit this data to another responsible person without any constraints imposed by us.

  • You also have the right to contact the responsible data protection supervisory authority – in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence or the state in which a violation of the GDPR is alleged.

To exercise these rights with regard to data processing by LinkedIn, where possible, please contact LinkedIn directly using the contact information provided by LinkedIn on its web pages. In other cases, or if you have any other concerns, please send us an e-mail: data.protection@mercedes-benz.com.

Under certain conditions, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation or if personal data is used for the purpose of direct marketing, and we may be obligated to discontinue processing your personal data. In addition, if personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to our processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising. This shall also apply to profiling, if it is done in conjunction with direct marketing of this kind. In this case, the personal data will no longer be processed by us for these purposes. To exercise your right of objection, please e-mail us if possible: mbconnectivity-services@mercedes-benz.com.
