3. Collecting and processing your personal data
a. There is no obligation to provide your personal data when you visit our website. However, it is possible that certain contents of our website depend on the provision of personal data. If you do not wish to provide personal data in these cases, this may result in content not being displayed or only being displayed to a limited extent.
b. Provision website Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the visitor's computer. For this purpose, the anonymized IP address of the visitor must remain stored for the duration of the session. It is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits to us in log files. The following data may be collected:
• the browser and operating system used and their settings, the date and time of the visit, the access status (e.g. whether you were able to access a website or received an error message), the use of website functions, • for security reasons, in particular, to prevent and detect attacks on our websites or attempts at fraud, we may store your IP address and the name of your Internet service provider.

This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for communication and the associated technical administration.

• Data from postal and telephone communication.

• Master data of the contractual partner and/or its contact person, in particular name;

4. Transfer of personal data to third parties; social plug-ins; use of service providers
We may use in the future the so-called social media buttons (also known as social media plugins) on our website. These are small buttons that allow you to publish content from our website on social networks under your profile. If you activate such a button, a connection is established between our website and the respective social network. In addition to the relevant content, the operator of the social network receives further, in some cases personal information. This includes, for example, the fact that you are currently visiting our site.
The social media buttons are integrated using the so-called “Shariff solution”. This solution prevents a connection to a social network from being established simply because you access a page with a social media button without activating it. This means that information is only transmitted to the social network when you activate the button.
By clicking on external links, the user leaves the tb.lx website. In this situation, the provider of the respective external website is the controller and responsible for data privacy requirements.

10. Transfer to third countries
For the maintenance and support of IT systems, we also transfer data to service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or grant them access. Since countries outside the EEA generally do not have an EU level of data protection, we contractually ensure that measures are taken by the service providers to ensure a level of data protection corresponding to the level of data protection in the EU/EEA. For more information on this please use the contact details provided. The companies of the Daimler Truck Group are also bound by the strict data protection regulations of the Daimler Truck AG.
In the following countries (link to list), from the point of view of the EU, there is an adequate level of protection for the processing of personal data corresponding to EU standards (so-called adequacy decision). With recipients in other countries, we agree on the application of EU standard contractual clauses, binding corporate regulations or the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield in order to create an “appropriate level of protection” in accordance with the legal requirements.
