On the basis of your declaration of consent (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR):

We also use your data to communicate with you about your orders, certain products or marketing promotions, and to recommend products or services to you that may be of interest for you.

Product recommendations by email
Under article 7 para. 3 of the German Unfair Competition Act, BayWa is permitted to use the email address provided by you when ordering a product or service to deliver direct advertising for similar goods or services to you.

Transmission of data to credit agencies
BayWa Global Produce GmbH transmits personal data collected during the course of our contractual relationship concerning contractual negotiations, the initiation, performance and termination of our business relationship, as well as data concerning non-conforming or fraudulent conduct to the following credit agencies: SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden, Germany; Bisnode Deutschland GmbH, Robert-Bosch-Strasse 11, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany; Coface Central Europe Holding AG, Stubenring 24, AT-1010 Vienna, Austria; CRIF Bürgel GmbH, Radlkoferstrasse 244, 80807 Munich, Germany; CRIF GmbH, Diefenbachgasse 35, AT-1150 Vienna, Austria; Creditreform, Machtlfinger Strasse 13, 81302 Munich, Germany; EOS Deutschland GmbH, Gottlieb-Daimler-Ring 7-9, 74906 Bad Rappenau, Germany. The legal bases for these data transmissions is Article 6 para. 1 lit. b and Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data may only be transmitted on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to the extent the transmission is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of BayWa Global Produce GmbH or a third-party which prevail over the data subject’s interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms that require the protection of personal data. The exchange of data with these credit agencies also serves the purpose of preventing fraud and verifying the identity. BayWa Global Produce GmbH can use the match rating provided by the credit agency and, where applicable, references to an identity-card-based legitimation check carried out with the credit agency or another business partner to find out whether a certain person’s information are recorded in the credit agency’s data set for the address indicated by the customer.
The credit agency processes the data received and also uses it for the purpose of generating profiles (scoring) for providing its contracting partners within the EEC and Switzerland, as well as additional third-party countries (provided there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission for such country) with information that can, inter alia, be used to assess the creditworthiness of a natural individual. For further information on SCHUFA’s activities, please refer to the website: schufa.de/datenschutz. The data protection information of the other credit agencies mentioned-above can be reviewed on their respective websites, as well.
If, as a commercial customer or private retail customer, you submit an account application for supplies and services, we will create a customer account for you and grant you a credit limit – matching your creditworthiness – which allows you to purchase on account. Such customer account is a continuous contractual obligation which allows us to establish a continuous account at the credit agency to keep us informed about any changes in your credit rating.
Keeping a group-wide credit rating database
Provided that we have lawfully obtained your credit rating data from a credit agency, we will store such data in a system that is accessible to the affiliated companies that participate in the BayWa credit management system. This serves the purpose of facilitating transaction processing for mutual customers and to detect financial default risks. The creditworthiness database is only accessed if the respective affiliated company has a legitimate interest.
We are responsible for the protection of your data, including in situations where we use a contract data processor for processing your data. All contract data processors are contractually bound to treat your data confidential and to only process such data in relation to their contractual performances. The contract data processors will receive your data to the extent they require the data for rendering their respective contractual performances. These contract data processors include, inter alia, IT service providers we require for the operation and security if our IT systems (e.g. use of a technical platform provided by Voycer AG for administering our Community), as well as advertising and list brokers for our own advertising activities.
Your data will be processed in the BayWa customer database. The BayWa customer database helps us improving the quality of the existing customer data (purging duplicates, flagging moved away/deceased records, correction of addresses) and allows for the data to be enriched with data from public sources. This data is made available to the subsidiaries of BayWa which participate in the BayWa customer database (participating subsidiaries) and can be used for personalised direct marketing activities (e.g. newsletter) and for adapting the user interface of our online shop to individual preferences.
The purpose of the BayWa customer database is to enable the customer service teams of participating subsidiaries responsible for the same customer to share the customer’s information available across the entire organisation. This approach aims at providing our customers with the most up to date and relevant information available. This processing of customer interests qualifies as profiling in the meaning of Article 4 GDPR; no automated individual decisions are made. Customer data is stored in company-specific and separate databases, with BayWa Global Produce GmbH providing services to the individual participating subsidiaries.
Where manufacturer portals are used to submit offers or close sales, the data disclosed by you will be processed directly within the manufacturer portal.
Your data may be disclosed to authorities, courts and external auditors if we are required to disclose them on the basis of a statutory obligation or for law enforcement purposes.
Your data may also be disclosed to insurances, banks, credit agencies and service providers for the purpose of negotiating and performing a contract.
We process your data until our business relationship with you ends, or until the expiry of the applicable warranty, guarantee, limitation or statutory retention periods (such as those prescribed in the German Commercial Code or the German Tax Code); your data may be stored for a longer period in the case of pending legal disputes requiring the data for evidentiary purposes.
The video surveillance system generally stores image data for 7 days after which they are deleted. In filling stations with operating personnel, the data are deleted after 3 days, for unmanned filling stations this data is deleted after 40 days.
Within the Community, we only store your personal data as long as necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required according to the various statutory storage periods determined by the competent legal authorities. Once the respective purpose ceases to exist or the storage periods have elapsed, access to the corresponding data will be blocked automatically or they will be automatically deleted in accordance with the statutory requirements.
You can apply directly to jobs posted on our e-recruiting system by entering your data in an application profile created individually for the posted position. We will keep you informed about the processing status of your application, usually by email. Once the application procedure has been concluded by a rejection on our part, we will store your application documents for a period of six months in order to be able to answer questions in connection with your application and its rejection. Your application documents will then be completely deleted; no separate notification will be made.

This is the reason we advise you not to send any sensitive data via email when communicating with us. As a job applicant, please use our application portal since this tool transfers your application data using a secured path.

These data are only processed for fulfilling our contractual obligations and providing the agreed contractual services.
If users wish to post comments or other contributions, this is only possible with an account. All the data are linked to the user profile and publicly displayed on the website allowing every user of the website to read them. Posts can be deleted at any time upon simple request by the user to: team@community.baywa-landwirtschaft.de. We will ensure to delete the post as quickly as possible, unless we are prevented from deleting the post for legal reasons.
After termination of your membership, your user name and, as far as technically possible, any data allowing to identify you as a person will be removed from the post unless further processing is required to comply with legal obligations, for reasons of public interest or for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
To delete their own account, the user can click the Delete Account button in their profile. The user will then receive an email with a confirmation link (or code). After confirming deletion by clicking the link (or
entering the code), the account is marked as deleted, the avatar and the header image are removed and any personal data will be pseudonymised or deleted if technically feasible. The user name and the email address will be pseudonymised. The pseudonymisation of the user name and the email is done using the hash technique. Furthermore, any content stored as a draft will be deleted.
The deletion of the account and/or its pseudonymisation apply to all services provided by us in association with the operation of the platform.
When you apply for a BayWa fuel card, we will create a BayWa account with an 8-digit customer number by default This allows you to purchase products and services from all product ranges of the BayWa Global Produce GmbH product offering. For a fee, it is possible to allocate one or more fuel cards to your customer account. Each fuel card has its own 10-digit number and can only be used for purchasing fuel at our BayWa filling stations as well as filling stations of our cooperation partners AVIA and Star.
If, at any point in time, you no longer wish to use your fuel card(s), you have the option to cancel the contract by the end of each month. For doing so, call our toll-free telephone number 0800 50 54 500 or write an email to tankstellen@baywa.de and state the respective card number(s).

By order of the competent authorities, we will be permitted in an individual case to provide information on this data if this is necessary to carry out prosecution proceedings, to enable the police forces to prevent crimes, to help the authorities to fulfil their statutory tasks or to enforce intellectual property rights.
