Some products and services may have changed since individual pages on this website were last edited. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the design, form, color and specification during the delivery period, provided these changes or variations can be deemed reasonable for the customer, while taking into account the interests of Daimler AG. The illustrations may show accessories, optional equipment or other features which are not part of the standard specification. Colors may differ slightly from those depicted, for technical reasons. Some pages may also feature models and services which are not available in individual countries. Statements regarding legislative, fiscal or other legal regulations and the implications of these are valid only for the Federal Republic of Germany. Subject to any contrary provision in the terms and conditions of sale or delivery, the prices valid on the date of delivery shall apply. For our dealers, the prices are to be regarded as the recommended retail price. Please contact a company-owned sales and service outlet or an authorized dealer to find out current prices.

Unless otherwise stipulated, all brand names featured on the pages of Daimler AG websites are legally protected trademarks belonging to Daimler AG. This applies in particular to the model names and all corporate logos and emblems.

Daimler AG has sought to bring you an innovative and informative internet site, and we hope that you will be as enthusiastic about our creative effort as we are. Please appreciate, however, that Daimler AG has to protect its intellectual property, including patents, trademarks and copyrights, and that these internet pages cannot be construed as granting any license rights to Daimler AG’s intellectual property.

Internet pages, Investor Relations releases, annual and interim reports, outlooks, presentations, audio and video broadcasts of events (live or recorded) and other documents on this website contain, among other things, forward-looking statements about future developments that are based on the current assessments of the management. The words ‘anticipate,’ ‘assume,’ ‘believe,’ ‘estimate,’ ‘expect,’ ‘intend,’ ‘may/might,’ ‘plan,’ ‘project,’ ‘should’ and similar expressions are used to indicate forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including an economic downturn in Europe or North America, changes in exchange rates, interest rates and raw materials prices, the launch of products by competitors, higher sales incentives, the successful implementation of the new business model for smart, and a decline in resale prices of used vehicles. If any of these risks and uncertainties (some of which are described in Daimler AG’s most recent Annual Report under the heading ‘Risk Report’ and under the heading ‘Risk Factors’ in Form 20-F, which was submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)) materialize or if the assumptions underlying any of our forward-looking statements prove incorrect, then our actual results may be materially different from those we express or imply by such statements. We do not intend or assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement applies only in relation to the situation prevailing on the date on which it is made.

Daimler AG will not participate in a dispute settlement proceeding in front of a consumer arbitration board according to the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG) and is not obliged to do so.

The European Commission has established an internet platform for online dispute resolution (so called “ODR platform”). The ODR platform is a point of entry for out-of-court resolutions relating to contractual obligations of online sales contracts. You can get to the ODR platform by following the link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

The information provided and the statements made on these pages do not constitute any representation or warranty, either express or implied. In particular such information is not an implied promise or guarantee in respect of quality, marketability, fitness for any particular purpose, or the non-infringement of laws and patents. Our internet pages also contain links to other internet sites. We would like to point out that we have no influence over the design and content of the linked sites. We therefore accept no liability for the accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided there, nor do we guarantee that it is up to date. Consequently we hereby distance ourselves from all content of such sites. This declaration applies to all links to external sites contained on our internet pages and to the content of such sites.

Daimler uses so-called social plugins (‘buttons’) for social networks such as Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. When you visit our websites these buttons are deactivated by default, i.e. without your intervention they will not send any data to third parties. Before you are able to use these buttons, you must activate them by clicking on them. They then remain active until you deactivate them again or delete your cookies (see also ‘Cookies’). Once activated, a direct link to the server of the respective social network is established. The contents of the button are then transmitted from the social network directly to your browser which incorporates it in the website. Please note that we have no influence on the scope of data that is collected by social networks through their buttons. The data use policies of the social networks provide information on the purpose and extent of the data that they collect, how this data is processed and used, the rights available to you and the settings that you can use to protect your privacy. Once a button is activated, the social network can retrieve data, independently of whether you interact with the button or not. If you are logged on to a social network, the network can associate your visit to the website with your user account. A social network cannot associate visits to other Daimler websites unless and until you activate the respective button there as well. If you are a member of a social network and do not wish it to associate data retrieved from your visit to our websites with your membership data, you must log out from the social network concerned before activating the buttons.

However, this level of protection can be replaced for individual companies by certification according to the so-called "EU-U.S. Privacy Shield".

If you do not want us to collect and analyze information about your visit to our website using the analysis tools mentioned above, you can object to this at any time with effect for the future ("opt-out").

We implement your objection by setting an opt-out cookie in your browser. This cookie is only used to associate your objection.

We are pleased to welcome you to our website and thank you for your interest in our offers. The protection of your personal data is important to us. In this data protection notice, we tell you how we collect your personal data, what we do with it, the purpose and legal basis of doing so, and what your rights and entitlements are in this regard. We also make reference to the Daimler data protection policy: 

Daimler data protection policy.

Our data protection notice for the use of our web pages and the data protection policy of Daimler AG do not apply to your activities on the web pages of social networks or other providers accessible to you from the links on our web pages. Please see these providers’ websites for their data protection regulations.

 

a.         When you visit our web pages, we store certain details about your browser and operating system, the date and time of your visit, the access status (e.g. whether you were able to open a web page or received an error message), use of web page features, search terms you may have entered, how frequently you visit individual web pages, the names of retrieved files, data volume transferred, the website from which you arrived at our website, and the website you visit from our website, either by clicking on links on our website or by entering a domain directly in the input field of the same tab (or window) of the browser in which you opened our website. For security reasons, in particular to prevent and detect attacks on our website or attempted fraud, we store your IP address and the name of your internet service provider for seven days. 

b.         We store other personal data only if you disclose such data to us, e.g. as part of registration, filling in a contact form, a survey, a prize competition or for the performance of a contract, and even in these cases we store your data only where you have permitted us to do so on the basis of consent issued by you or in accordance with applicable legislation (you will find further information on this below in the section “Legal basis for processing”).

c.         You are neither legally nor contractually obliged to give us your personal data. However, certain features on our web pages may depend on your letting us have your personal data. If, in such cases, you do not give us your personal data, this may lead to features either not being available or being available only to a limited extent. 

 

a.         The personal data we collect when you visit our web pages is used to make our web pages as convenient as possible for you to use and to protect our IT systems from attacks and other illegal acts.

b.         Where you provide us with further personal data, e.g. as part of registration, filling in a contact form, a survey, a prize competition or for the performance of a contract, we use such data for the specified purposes, for purposes of customer management and – where necessary – for purposes of the processing and invoicing of transactions, in each case to the necessary extent.

 

a.         Our web pages may also contain offers from third parties. When you click on such an offer, we transfer data to the relevant provider to the necessary extent (e.g. to indicate that you found this offer on our site and any other relevant information you have already entered on our website). 

b.         When we use social plug-ins of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+ on our website, we incorporate these as follows:

The social plug-ins are deactivated when you visit our website, i.e. no data of any kind is transferred to the operator of these networks. If you would like to use one of the networks, click on the relevant social plug-in to make a direct connection with the network’s server.

If you have a user account on the network and are logged in to the network when you activate the social plug-in, the network can assign your visit to our website to your user account. If you would like to prevent this, please log out of the network before activating the social plug-in. A social network cannot assign a visit to other Daimler websites unless you have also activated a social plug-in on such websites.

When you activate a social plug-in, the network transfers the associated content directly to your browser, which embeds you in our web pages. This may also involve the transfer of data, which is initiated and managed by the relevant social network. The privacy policy of the relevant network applies exclusively to the connection to a social network, the data transfer between the network and your system and to your interactions on this platform.

The social plug-in remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies.

Cookie Statement

c.         When you click on the link to an offer or activate a social plug-in, personal data may be sent to providers in countries outside the European Economic Area that, from a European Union (“EU”) perspective, do not guarantee an “adequate level of protection” in line with EU standards for the processing of personal data. Please bear this in mind before you click on a link or activate a social plug-in to initiate the transfer of your data.

d.         For the operation, optimisation and protection of our web pages, we also use qualified service providers (IT service providers, marketing agencies). We transmit personal data to such service providers only where this is necessary for the provision and use of the web pages and their functionalities, for the tracking of legitimate interests or where you have given your consent (see section 8). This may involve data being transferred to recipients outside the European Economic Area; please see section 13. below. 

 

We aim to tailor the content of our web pages as accurately as possible to your interests in order to improve our offer for you. We use the following analytics tool(s) to identify usage preferences and especially popular parts of the web pages: Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics.

a.         If you do not want us to collect and evaluate information about your visit using the above-mentioned analytics tools, you can opt out at any time for the future.

We implement your opt-out request by setting an opt-out cookie in your browser. This cookie serves only to indicate that you have opted out. Please note that, for technical reasons, an opt-out cookie is effective only in the browser in which it was set. If you delete the cookies or use a different browser or device, please opt out again.

c.         The use of analytics tools may involve data being sent to recipients outside the European Economic Area; please see section 13. below.

 

We use so-called retargeting technologies to tailor our online marketing (e.g. banner ads) on the web pages of our retargeting partners (Flashtalking, Google Adwords, Google Doubleclick and Vivaki) to your needs and interests. For this purpose, your interest in our products and services is stored in cookies. When you visit other websites that cooperate with our retargeting partners, these cookies are retrieved and used to provide you with information tailored as closely as possible to your interests. This is done in anonymised form, i.e. you cannot be identified via the retargeting process.

If you do not wish Daimler and its retargeting partners to collect, store and analyse information about your visit and tailor banner ads to your interests, you can object to the future use of your data at any time (opt-out).

For the technical implementation of your objection, it is necessary to install an opt-out cookie in your browser. This cookie serves only to indicate that you have opted out. Please note that, for technical reasons, the opt-out cookie will affect only the browser in which it was set. If you delete the cookies or use a different browser or device, please opt out again.

You can manage and deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers on the following website:

The use of retargeting technologies may involve data being sent to recipients outside the European Economic Area; please see section 13. below.

 

We apply technical and organisational security measures to protect your data in our possession from manipulation, loss, destruction and access by unauthorised parties. We continuously improve our security measures in line with technological developments.

 

a.         Where you have given your consent to our processing your personal data, this constitutes the legal basis for processing (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR).

b.         Art. 6 (1) b GDPR constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purposes of initiation or fulfilment of a contract with you.

c.         Where the processing of your personal data is necessary for fulfilment of our legal obligations (e.g. for the storage of data), we are authorised to do so under Art. 6 (1) c GDPR.

d.         In addition, we process personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. Maintaining the operability of our IT systems, the (direct) marketing of our own and third-party products and services, and the legally required documentation of business contacts are examples of such legitimate interests. As part of the necessary balancing of interests, we take account in particular of the nature of the personal data, the purpose of processing, the circumstances of processing and your interests in the confidentiality of your personal data.

 

We delete your IP address and the name of your internet service provider, which we store only for security purposes, after seven days. Otherwise we delete your personal data as soon as the purpose for collecting and processing it no longer applies. Beyond that time, we store your data only where required by the laws, regulations or other legislation to which we are subject in the European Union or by legislation in third countries where there is an adequate level of data protection. Where, in individual cases, deletion is not possible, the relevant personal data is marked with the aim of limiting its future processing.

 

a.         As a data subject, you have the right to information (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

b.         Where you have consented to our processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the processing of your personal data up until withdrawal of consent is not affected by withdrawal. Equally, the continued processing of such data on a different legal basis, such as to fulfil our legal obligations, remains unaffected (see “Legal basis of processing”).

c.         Right to object  You have the right at any time to object, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to your personal data being processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of balancing of interests). Where you lodge an objection, we will continue to process your personal data only where we can provide compelling legitimate reasons for doing so that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or where processing serves the purpose of the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

d.         Where possible, please send your claims or explanations to the following contact address: data.protection@daimler.com

e.         If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is in breach of the law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a responsible data protection authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
