Kuehne+Nagel acknowledges and protects the security and privacy of personal data of Kuehne+Nagel’s customers, subcontractors, suppliers and other business partners (“Partner”). Therefore, Kuehne+Nagel processes personal data in compliance with applicable laws on data protection and data security, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).With this privacy notice we would like to inform you about how we process your data in connection with the Data Protection Management System of Kuehne+Nagel - OneTrust - and your rights in this regard. The OneTrust platform is Kuehne+Nagel´s central data protection management system, which is used, among other things, to maintain the vendor management and risk assessments processing directory in accordance with Article 28 and 32 of the GDPR.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b and c GDPR.

If you access the OneTrust platform as an employee of Kuehne+Nagel or another group company, we process your data for the purpose of documenting your information in the course of the legal obligation to maintain a register of processing activities (Art. 30 GDPR). The legal basis for processing your employee data is Section 26 Paragraph 1 Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG) in conjunction with Article 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR.

3. Transfer of data and Categories of recipients

In general, your data will not be transferred to third countries. For maintenance purposes and to resolve interruptions at short notice, it may be necessary for employees of our service provider OneTrust to access our environment, which may be located in third countries. In these cases, data will only be accessed if we have ensured compliance with an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR. However, your data will not be stored in third countries.

5. Right to withdraw consent

In case a Partner declared its consent for the processing of certain personal data by Kuehne+Nagel, the Partner has the right to withdraw the consent at any time with future effect, i.e. the withdrawal of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent before its withdrawal.
