Website Visitors

Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

Motherson Technology Services also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on www.mothersontechnology.com/en-gb blog posts. Motherson Technology Services only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below

We collect and use personal data only to provide you a functional website, our content, and services. The collection and use of personal data are regularly only carried out with your consent. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

So far as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to process operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as a legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR serves as a legal basis. If the processing is necessary to ensure a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

This website uses Google Analytics for web analysis. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland (registration number: 368047) with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted and stored by Google. It is not excluded that data processing may take place outside the scope of EU law. Google has joined the Privacy Shield so that Google guarantees compliance with EU data protection standards.

However, if you activate the IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened previously by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with further services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be aggregated with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link.

https://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy.html. Please note that on the website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIP” in order to guarantee an anonymous registration of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, whereby our authorization arises from the fact that, on the one hand, MTS UK, has an interest in evaluating the website data for purposes of website optimization and, on the other hand, a concerned person can reasonably foresee at the time when the personal data is collected and in view of the circumstances under which it is carried out (in particular the above-mentioned measures) that it will possibly be processed for this purpose.

Transfer to third parties : Due to legal obligation

Sometimes we use external service providers to process your data. In these cases, the information is transferred to third parties to enable further processing. External service providers are selected carefully and audited at regular intervals to ensure the protection of your data privacy.

These service providers/processors are bound by instructions. Given this, they are subject to our requirements, which include processing your data exclusively in line with our instructions and in compliance with the applicable Data Protection Act. In particular, they are contractually bound to treat your data with strict confidentiality and are not permitted to process data for other purposes than the ones agreed.

Data transfer to the data processor is effected on the basis of Art. 28 (1) GDPR.

Intended data transfer to third countries

At present, data transfer to third countries is not planned. Otherwise, we will establish the required legal conditions. In particular, you will be informed of the respective recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data in line with the legal requirements.
