3. Affected data
3.1 Personal data
We process data within the framework of use of the mySeeder App. This includes master data, work data and machine data, which may represent and/or contain personal data. Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter the “data subject”); a natural person is regarded as identifiable, if he/she can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by means of association with an identifier such as a name, with an identification number, with location data, with an online ID or with one or several special features reflecting the physical, physiological, genetic, psychic, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. The personal data processed by us (master data, work data, machine data) can represent personal data in isolation or as an overview.
3.2 Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, reading out, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. For more information on how we and why we process the different data (master data, work data, machine data) in individual cases, please see sections 4 and 5.
4. Data processing for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations within the framework of the use of the mySeeder App (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)
4.1 We process data to establish, fulfil and terminate the contract between you and us regarding the use of the mySeeder App. For example, it is necessary to query the machine number of your AMAZONE machine in order to check which functions of the App you can access, or to query the location of the AMAZONE machine and sensor data in order to visualise it in the mySeeder App. According to Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, we, therefore, process the following information, which - where applicable - may constitute personal data:
4.2 Master data, i.e. all basic information that is necessary for the execution of the contract and is usually stored in a customer account that we have created. This includes, inter alia, customer data (name, contact details, legal form, commercial register number, responsibilities, etc.), field data (name, location, limits and agronomic data), as well as orders placed to date.
4.3 Work data, i.e. all data related to the use of the machine purchased from us. This includes, in particular, location data and the calibration processes with the settings and results of your AMAZONE seeder.
4.4 Machine data, i.e. all information pertaining to the machine purchased from us. This includes the machine number (which we need to activate your machine to use the mySeeder App), the serial numbers of the control units belonging to the machine, as well as the software version on the respective control unit, permanent data, such as the machine name, the chassis number and the year of construction; configuration details and equipment features; routes, locations, times of use, occupancy rate, performance and maintenance data; and internal machine data, e.g. values of different sensors.
5. Data processing on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR
5.1 Beyond the fulfilment of our contractual obligations, we process information that can also constitute personal data, in order to improve our products for you, to develop them further, and to design new products for our customers. We, therefore, have a legitimate interest, within the sense of Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, to process data to further optimise our products and to develop new products. For this purpose, we may process the following data we have on you:
5.2 Work data, i.e. all data related to the use of the machine purchased from us. This may include, for example, the means used (fertiliser, seeds), as well as the applied quantities and the setting parameters used during the application, including the application results and pictures taken from the process. Within the framework of use of the mySeeder App, we are, though, currently not processing any machine data. Should we process work data in the future, work data means the above data. We will keep you informed of any changes.
5.3 Machine data, i.e. all information pertaining to the machine purchased from us. This includes the machine number, the serial numbers of the control units belonging to the machine, as well as the software version on the respective control unit, permanent data such as the machine name, the chassis number and the year of construction; configuration details and equipment features; routes, locations, times of use, occupancy rate, performance and maintenance data; and internal machine data, e.g. values of different sensors. Within the framework of use of the mySeeder App, we are, though, not currently processing any machine data. Should we process machine data in the future, machine data means the above data. We will keep you informed of any changes.
5.4 In order to continuously improve our offering for you and, therefore, the quality of our products, we also create a crash report when a fault occurs, and it contains the following information:
5.4.1 Temporal information, such as date and time of the start of the App, date and time of the incidence of failure, and the associated time zone;
5.4.2 Device information, i.e. the operating system (Android or iOS), the version of the operating system, the manufacturer and the model;
5.4.3 User information such as the language set in the operating system, the display size of the device, a unique installation ID, which is generated randomly when the App is installed, and which we do not use anywhere else;
5.4.4 Network information, i.e. the name of the mobile network provider and the country of the mobile network provider;
5.4.5 App information, particularly the version and build number.
5.5 Master data, i.e. all basic information that is required to process the contract, can also be processed by us, in order to inform the customer, i.e. to inform you specifically about detected errors or optimisation options. In this case, we process, in particular, the information that we need to contact you.
6. Form and duration of data storage
6.1 Personal data is stored in a form, which permits identification of the data subject, only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
6.2 We store our customers’ personal data, at the most, up until the end of a year after the business contact has ended; financial transactions are deleted after ten years, within the scope of the statutory provisions.
7. The recipients of the data
We save the data on our servers.
