A. General

I. What does this privacy policy regulate?

We attach great importance to the protection and security of your personal data. It is therefore important for us to inform you about what personal data we use for which purposes and what rights you have in relation to your personal data.

MyLiebherr Account

The "MyLiebherr Account" is your central user account at Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH. You have to register in order to create a MyLiebherr Account. Your can register on the “MyLiebherr Portal" (https://home.myliebherr.com). When you register via the MyLiebherr Portal, you will receive an e-mail with a confirmation link at the end of the registration process. You must click on the confirmation link in order to complete the registration process. Alternatively, you can also sign up for the MyLiebherr Account using your Google, Facebook or Microsoft accounts (hereinafter referred to as "Social Login"). Please note that we have no influence on the processing of your personal data by Google, Facebook and Microsoft. With your MyLiebherr Account you can use the Single-sign-on service of Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "SSO"). SSO allows you to use other access-restricted digital services (hereinafter referred to as "Modules") connected to the SSO using identical access data. SSO allows you to navigate between modules without the need for a separate registration and login process. SSO automatically transfers the data stored in your MyLiebherr Account which are required for the use of the relevant modules to the respective module providers in order to offer you the best possible comfort. The modules are operated either by Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH or by subsidiaries of Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH.

Liebherr SmartDevice App

The Liebherr SmartDevice app allows you to view and configure the data of your Liebherr refrigerator and freezer. To use the Liebherr SmartDevice app, you need a WLAN-enabled module (hereinafter referred to as "SmartDeviceBox"), a MyLiebherr Account and an Internet connection. The SmartDeviceBox connects your Liebherr refrigerator and freezer to the Internet via a WLAN-enabled router. The SmartDeviceBox can be retrofitted to SmartDevice-enabled Liebherr refrigerators and freezers. Some Liebherr refrigerators and freezers already have the SmartDeviceBox integrated. In combination with the SmartDeviceBox, the Liebherr SmartDevice app allows you to control various functions of your Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, such as the cooling temperature, while on the move. With the Liebherr SmartDevice app, you can immediately see any important alarm messages, such as a door accidentally left open. The Liebherr SmartDevice app has a notification function that reminds you when the next air filter change is due or when the ventilation grille needs to be cleaned, for instance. The Liebherr SmartDevice app offers you more convenient food management through shopping and stock lists. With the Liebherr SmartDevice app, you can receive not only valuable ideas for perfect food preparation, but also recipes and inspirations for hobbyists and casual cooks. Ingredients required for a recipe that are not in stock can be added directly to the Liebherr SmartDevice app shopping list. With the help of a refrigerator camera (hereinafter referred to as "FridgeCam”), available as an accessory, the Liebherr SmartDevice app can show you the interior of your refrigerator and freezer at any time. This way, you always know what food you have in your fridge. This will help you avoid duplicating purchases, prevent food waste, and save money.

VI. Liebherr SmartDevice App Skill for Amazon Alexa

Amazon Echo is Amazon hardware for voice input and output. Amazon Echo devices allow Amazon to analyse, evaluate and execute voice commands. Amazon Echo devices require an Amazon user account to function and can be extended to include additional features by adding so-called "skills".

This requires you to activate the Liebherr SmartDevice app skill in your Amazon account and link your MyLiebherr Account to this skill. Through this link, voice commands given by you can be interpreted by Amazon and sent to the Liebherr SmartDevice app for execution via an anonymous digital signature. Except for the data indicating that you have an Amazon account and a MyLiebherr Account, no personal data will be sent by us to Amazon or by Amazon to us.

To use IFTTT, you will need to activate the Liebherr SmartDevice App Trigger in your IFTTT account and link your MyLiebherr Account to the Liebherr SmartDevice App Trigger. Except for the data indicating that you have an IFTTT account and a MyLiebherr Account, no personal information will be sent by us to IFTTT Inc. or sent by IFTTT Inc. to us.

E. How are my personal data secured against unauthorised access and loss?

We use technical and organisational security measures in order to secure your data against loss, incorrect modification and unauthorised access by third parties. Moreover, on our part, only authorised persons will ever have access to your data and they can only access it to the extent required within the framework of the purposes named above. All data is transferred in encrypted form.

I. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your terminal device. They can be used to determine if there has already been communication between your terminal device and our MyLiebherr Portal.

 to improve user-friendliness, traceability for our user customers and the online experience.

We do not use your cookies in order to track your Internet activity outside of the MyLiebherr Portal and connected modules.

III. What type of cookies do we use and what is their purpose?

a. Session cookies

Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed.

Our website uses so-called re-targeting technologies to make the website more interesting for you. This means your visit to certain websites is marked by cookies, which later identify visits to other websites.

This form of advertising takes place completely anonymously. No personal data will be stored and no user profiles will be merged with your personal data.

d. Conversion Tracking

II. Do you agree to our use of cookies?

The user concept of our MyLiebherr Portal includes some online features designed to make your visit as comfortable as possible. However, these only work with the help of cookies.

If you do not want us to recognise your terminal device, you can prevent the storage of cookies on your terminal device by selecting "Do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. Please refer to the instructions from your browser producer for more details.

G. Use of Google technology

I. How can I prevent the storage of Google technology (cookies)?

If you do not want Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH to collect and analyse data about your visit, you can object to this at any time with future effect (so-called "Opt-Out").

For the technical implementation of this objection, an "Opt-Out cookie" will be set in your browser. This cookie is only used to signify your objection. Please note that for technical reasons "Opt-Out cookies" can only be used for the browser from which they are set. If you delete cookies or use another browser or device, you will need to opt out again.

II. What is Google Analytics?

MyLiebherr Portal uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your device to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

We have activated IP anonymisation on the MyLiebherr Portal, so your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH, as the operator of the MyLiebherr Portal, Google will use the above information to evaluate your use of the MyLiebherr Portal, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH.

The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google information. You can prevent the storage of cookies through the corresponding settings in your browser software; however, please be aware that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You may also prevent Google from collecting the data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie in relation to your use of the website, as well as from processing such data with effect for the future, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?.

III. What is Google AdWords?

We use the Google AdWords online advertising program and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google-served ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.

If the user visits certain pages on the advertiser's website and the cookie has not expired, Google and the customer will be able to recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers.

The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive any information which would make it possible to personally identify users.

Google AdWords is only used if you expressly agree to this use through the so-called cookie canner. If you want to disable cookies for conversion tracking, you can set your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleadservices.com".

For more information on "Data Protection" in relation to the online advertising program Google AdWords, please visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

IV. What is DoubleClick?

DoubleClick by Google is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). DoubleClick by Google uses cookies to show you advertisements that are relevant to you. Your browser will be assigned a pseudonymous identification number (ID) to monitor which ads have appeared in your browser and which ads have been viewed. The cookies do not contain any personal information. Using the DoubleClick cookie allows Google and its affiliate websites to serve ads based on previous visits to our or other websites on the Internet. The information generated by the cookies is transmitted for evaluation by Google to a server in the USA and stored there. Google only transfers data to third parties due to legal regulations or in the context of order data processing. Under no circumstances will Google merge its data with other data collected by Google.

By agreeing to this through the banner displayed on your first visit to the Liebherr website, you consent to the processing of the data collected by Google about you, the manner of processing described above and the stated purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies through the corresponding settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of the Liebherr website in full.

You may also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies relating to your use of the Liebherr website and processing such data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://adssettings.google.com/ under the item DoubleClick Deactivation Extension.
