Over 900 engineers and around 6800 researchers, some 250 trainees and students,
many thousands of employees in development, production and sales worldwide: They
are people with a real drive who work to ensure that SEW-EURODRIVE delivers the
solutions its customers need.

> 4.2 BILLION € IN SALES (2022)

A business that sells as much as we do also has a great deal of responsibility.
SEW-EURODRIVE actively accepts this responsibility with a clear commitment to
inclusion and diversity, fair treatment of partners and suppliers, and efficient
use of resources.

54 COUNTRIES

With 17 production plants and 88 Drive Technology Centers, SEW-EURODRIVE is

5 Processing of data - our mobile apps

We provide various mobile apps in the Apple App Store and the Google Play
Store. When you download the mobile app, the necessary information is
transferred to the App Store, i.e. in particular the user name, e-mail
address and customer number of your account, the time of downloading, payment

process the data if this is necessary for downloading the mobile app onto
your mobile device.

When using the apps, we process the personal data described below in order to

should this be required to provide the functions which you have accessed. The
legal basis here is also Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

6. Processing of online data at SEW-EURODRIVE (“cookie policy“)

a) Information concerning the use of technical aids (in particular cookies)

Our website (and some of our apps) use technical aids for various functions,
in particular so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored
on your end device and that are saved by your browser. They are used to make
our offerings more user-friendly, effective and secure. We use so-called
temporary cookies that are automatically deleted once you close your browser
("session cookies"), as well as persistent (permanent) cookies.

When accessing our website (or using the apps) and at any time subsequently,
you have the choice of whether you wish to permit the setting of cookies and
individual additional functions. You can carry out changes in your browser
settings or via our consent manager. Should you reject functions or cookies,
you may not be able to fully use our service.

When using cookies, we make a distinction between essential cookies (to
display and operate the website) and supplementary cookies, such as the
anonymous measurement of access numbers (functional cookies) and marketing
cookies (advertising purposes, display or relevant and personalized content).
Below, we wish to inform you of the various processing purposes and the
services which are used in concrete terms. We will also describe the data
processing which will take place.

b) Essential functions and cookies when using the website / apps

We use functions which are essential for the use of our websites / apps.
These include so-called session cookies, which enable us to recognize you
once again when you visit the site during an individual session. These
session cookies contribute to safe use of our offering by, for instance,
enabling you to use the online support functions. These functions can be
viewed in the cookie consent tool. The legal basis of the processing is
Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR..

c) Use of functions for the recording of use behavior (tracking) with right
to object:

The use of tracking functions which primarily gather information by means of
cookies enables us to analyze the use of our website and to improve it as a
result. For this purpose, we can either use utilization statistics (anonymous
results) or functions which enable us to recognize users once again when our
website is accessed, which allows us to assign utilization processes to an
internally allocated number (pseudonym). This allows us to record access to
our website and to analyze it systematically.

(1) Use of cookies to record user behavior (tracking):

The use of tracking cookies enables us to analyze how you use our website and
to make improvements. We can either collect anonymous usage statistics or use
functions to recognize users returning to our website and thus allocate user
processes to an internally assigned ID (pseudonym). This allows us to record
access to our website and to analyze it systematically.

Specifically, we use the following tracking functions:

(1) Creation of utilization statistics via etracker

Services from etracker GmbH based in Hamburg, Germany ( www.etracker.com) are
used on this website to analyze utilization data. In this context, cookies
are generally used to enable a statistical analysis of the utilization of
this website by its users, and to display utilization-related content or
advertising. etracker cookies do not include any information that would make
it possible to identify a user. In addition, we can also use etracker
variants without cookies, in which we carry out the data processing described
here to a lesser extent.

The data which is generated as a result is processed on our behalf by
etracker exclusively in Germany according to our specifications and is
therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and
standards. etracker does not carry out any data processing for its own
purposes and has been independently audited, certified and awarded the
ePrivacyseal data protection seal of approval with regard to compliance with
EU data protection standards.

The data processing takes place on the basis of the legal provisions of
Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Our concern under the GDPR (legitimate interest) is
to analyze the use of our website and to obtain statistics relating to its
use, in order to guarantee the regular optimization of our online service and
web presence, so that our website can be made more interest for you as a
user. Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, any data that may
allow for a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login
and device identifications, is pseudonymized or anonymized as quickly as
possible. There is no other processing or combination with other data of
etracker or transfer to third parties.

You may object to the above data processing at any time, should this be
related to personal data:

I object to data processing by etracker on this website here
opt out successful.

You can find more information about data protection at etracker here.

(d) Functions with use of cookies following your consent

Below is an overview of the functions which we use on receiving your consent
when you start using our website. These are functions which are used for
advertising purposes and use cookies for this purpose.

Use of functions for advertising purposes

We use functions which deploy cookies for marketing purposes, for example in
order to tailor advertising to the interests of a website visitor. They are
also used to limit the frequency with which ads are displayed and to measure
the effectiveness of the adverts. They record which websites and which items
are clicked. This enables us to record information about user habits in order
to provide interest-based advertising. The advertising networks used may
share this information with third parties. In such cases, the advertising
partner regularly sets the cookies directly.

The following functions are used for advertising purposes in particular:

(1) Use of Google Ads /Google Remarketing

We use the service of Google Ads to draw attention on external websites to
our attractive products by using advertising tools (so-called Google
advertising). These advertising tools are delivered by Google by means of
so-called "ad servers." Ad server cookies that allow for the analysis of
performance parameters are used in this process, e.g. ad impressions, clicks
and conversations. This allows us to determine how successful individual
advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising
campaigns.

If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will save a cookie on
your end device. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally.
By means of the integration of the cookies, Google is informed that you have
visited the corresponding page of our website or have clicked on one of our
advertisements by including tracking tools. If you are registered with a
Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you
have not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the
provider finds out and saves your IP address. With the company's conversion
remarketing technologies, users who have already visited our website and
online services and shown interest in our products will see further related
advertisements on other websites in the Google Partners network. As a rule,
the following analysis values are also saved:

* Unique cookie ID
* Number of ad impressions per placement (frequency)
* Last impression (relevant to post-view conversions)
* Opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wants to be
contacted)

The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognize your Internet browser
once again in the future. If a user visits certain pages of a website of an
Ads customer and the cookie that has been saved on his or her end device has
not expired, Google and the customer can detect that the user has clicked the
advertisement and was forwarded to this site. A different cookie is assigned
to each Ads customer, so that cookies cannot be traced via the websites of
Ads customers. Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to
the Google server based on the marketing tools deployed. We ourselves do not
independently gather personal data during the named advertising measures,
rather we only provide Google with the possibility of obtaining the data. In
this respect, we are jointly responsible with Google for the data gathering
and transfer. Google is responsible under data protection laws for the
subsequent data processing. We are only provided with statistical analysis by
Google. This analysis allows us to identify which of the deployed advertising
measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from
the deployment of advertising measures, and, in particular, we are not able
to identify users based on this information. The legal basis for processing
your data is Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR.

8 SEW-EURODRIVE profiles on social networks

a) Facebook fan page

For the information services offered here, we use the technical platform and
services of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour,
Dublin 2, Ireland. We wish to inform you that use of our Facebook page at
https://www.facebook.com/sew.antriebstechnik and its functions takes place
under your own responsibility. This applies, in particular, to the use of
interactive functions (e.g. Comment, Share, Rate).

When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook records, among other things, your
IP address as well as additional information which is found on your PC in the
form of cookies. This information is used to supply us as the provider of the
Facebook pages with statistical information about the use of our Facebook
page (so-called Facebook “insights”). Facebook provides further information
via the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights. The
data collected in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be
transmitted to countries outside the European Union, in particular the US.
Your data may be transferred to the USA, whereby according to the information
provided by Facebook, it complies with a reasonable level of data protection
which corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield. Facebook describes
which information it receives and how it uses it in general terms in its Data
Use Guidelines. They also provide information about how to contact Facebook
and how to change your advertising settings. The data use policies are
available via the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
The full Facebook data use policy can be accessed here:
https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy. The following Facebook
support pages provide details on how to manage and delete existing
information about you: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy#.

Facebook does not conclusively and clearly state, nor do we know, the extent
to which Facebook uses data from your visit to the Facebook pages for its own
purposes, the extent to which activities on the Facebook pages are allocated
to individual users, for how long Facebook stores this data and whether data
from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties. Data
processing by Facebook may vary depending on whether you are registered with,
and logged into, Facebook, or whether you access the site as a non-registered
and/or not logged in user.

When you access a Facebook page, or make a contribution, the IP address
allocated to your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to
Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for “German” IP addresses) and
deleted after 90 days. In addition, Facebook saves information about the end
devices of its users (e.g. as part of the “Log-in notification” function);
this may allow Facebook to allocate IP addresses to individual users. If you
as a user are currently logged into Facebook, a cookie containing your
Facebook ID is currently saved on your end device. This enables Facebook to
track that you have visited this page and how you used it. This also applies
to all other Facebook pages. With the help of Facebook buttons embedded in
websites, Facebook can record your visits to these websites and allocate them
to your Facebook profile. Based on this data, contents or advertising can be
tailored to you.

If you want to avoid or restrict the data processing described above by
Facebook, you should log out of Facebook or disable the “remain logged in”
function, delete any cookies on your device and restart your browser. This
deletes Facebook information, which can be used to identify you. You can
thereby use our Facebook page without disclosing your Facebook ID. If you try
to use the page's interactive functions (Like, Comment, Share, Messages,
etc.), a Facebook login screen is displayed. After you log in, Facebook can
again identify you as a specific user.

In addition to this, we as the provider of the information service only
process the data from your use of our service which you provide and which
requires interaction. For example, if you ask a question which we can only
answer by e-mail, we will save your information in accordance with our
General Data Protection Principles, as described in our Data Protection
Information. The legal basis for processing your data on the fan page is
Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

You can contact either us or Facebook to exercise your rights as the data
subject. If a party is not responsible for providing a reply, or must receive
information from the other party, we or Facebook will forward the query to
the relevant other party. Please contact Facebook directly for any queries
concerning the setting up of your profile, the processing of your data when
using the website and insights (see above for the link). If you have any
questions regarding how we process your interaction with us on our site,
please do not hesitate to contact us at Datenschutz@sew-eurodrive.de . If you

To provide these information services, we access the providers’ technical
platform and services. We hereby inform you that use of our sites on social
media platforms and their functions is at your own risk. This applies, in
particular, to the use of interactive functions (e.g. Comment, Share, Rate).
When you visit our pages, the social media platform providers record, among
other things, your IP address as well as additional information found on your
PC as cookies. This information is used to supply us as the provider of the
accounts with statistical information about the interaction with us.

The details relating to Facebook described above also apply here. In
particular, your data may be transmitted to the USA; all of the above
providers state that they comply with a reasonable level of data protection
which corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield (with the exception of
Xing, as this provider’s head office is located in the EU). We do not know in
what way the social media platforms use the data from your visit of our
account and from the interaction with our contributions for their own
purposes, for how long they store this data and whether they pass on the data
to third parties. Data processing may vary depending on whether you are
registered with, and logged into, the social network, or whether you access
the site as a non-registered and/or not logged in user. When you access a
contribution or the account, the IP address assigned to your end device is
transmitted to the provider of the social media platform. If you are
currently logged in as a user, a cookie on your end device can be used to
track how you surfed the internet. If you want to avoid this, you should log
out, delete any cookies on your device and restart your browser.

You can contact either us or the provider of the social media platform to
exercise your rights as the data subject. If a party is not responsible for
providing a reply, or must receive information from the other party, we or
the provider of the social media platform will forward the query to the
relevant other party. Please contact the provider of the social media
platform directly for any queries concerning setting up your profile or the
processing of your data when using the website. If you have any questions
regarding how we process your interaction with us on this site, please do not

the link). These also provide information about how to contact them and how
to change your advertising settings. For more information on social networks
and how you can protect your data, see www.youngdata.de.

III. Data protection information for customers and interested parties of
SEW-EURODRIVE

1 Scope of data processing and designated uses
a) Contract performance
SEW‑EURODRIVE processes the data that we receive from you as part of your
inquiries or existing contractual relationships. In addition to your business
contact details, this comprises all information that is exchanged, such as
e-mails, orders, requests for our products, and payment details. If you have
business relationships with us, you must provide the personal data that is
necessary for the preparation or performance of the contracts or that we are
legally required to process; otherwise we cannot fulfill the contracts.

SEW-EURODRIVE processes the data provided during order placement for use in
fulfillment of the contract and may employ specialized and monitored service
providers for this purpose. Processing of the data for the purpose of
contract fulfillment comprises using the data to render the service
stipulated by the contract, including rendering of services defined in
service agreements or handling of any warranty claims. In addition, if a
request for financing is made, the data required for generating a quotation
may be used by SEW-EURODRIVE and, if necessary, passed on to contractual
partners. Further details regarding the purposes of use can be found in the
relevant contractual documents. This data processing is carried out on the
basis of Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

Data collected by SEW-EURODRIVE regarding the purchase of our products or use
of our services may also be passed on to the external auditors and/or tax
consultants of SEW-EURODRIVE for consulting and auditing purposes.
SEW-EURODRIVE saves the data collected for fulfillment of the contract in its
operative system as long as warranty claims or other purposes of use laid out
in this declaration still apply. Thereafter, data that is subject to the
retention obligations specified in sections 146 et seqq. German Fiscal Code
or Section 257 German Commercial Code is archived and then deleted once these
retention obligations expire. All other data is deleted immediately, unless
this declaration specifies other designated uses for this data. Data is
processed for warranty claims on the basis of Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, and
for the fulfillment of legal obligations in accordance with Article
6(1)(1)(c) GDPR.

b) Verification of address and credit worthiness

To verify your address and credit rating, SEW EURODRIVE accesses databases
from external agencies in order to gather address details and credit data
about your company, including data that was calculated using statistical
methods (scoring). This is done as long as SEW-EURODRIVE is undertaking a
commercial risk in concluding the contract and seeks to safeguard itself
through this credit check. This information is used by SEW-EURODRIVE to grant
trade credit for goods or services.

The following agencies provide addresses and credit data to SEW-EURODRIVE:

* Bisnode D&B Deutschland GmbH
* Deutsche Bank AG
* German Debtor's Register (Deutsches Debitorenregister, DRD), a payment
records pool from the Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V. organization
* Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V.

The information provided by the agencies and the internal information
regarding payment behavior is internally evaluated by SEW-EURODRIVE, which
then creates its own rating for use as the basis for granting a credit limit.
The credit data is deleted 5 years after the last delivery of goods. This
mode of data processing is performed in accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(f)
GDPR in order to grant you trade credit for goods and services.

c) Promotional use of data by SEW-EURODRIVE
SEW-EURODRIVE and engaged service providers (printing companies, lettershops,
etc.) use your name and address as a contact person in ongoing business
relationships or of interested persons for additional measures for entering
into and activating business partnerships.

This includes the sending of advertising by post in relation to interesting
products and services, so that potential customers and business partners can
become aware of products which may be of interest and in order to form a
long-term business relationship. Last but not least, we would like to stay in
touch with you on special occasions and send you Christmas greetings, for
example. SEW-EURODRIVE uses your telephone number for promotional purposes
only if you have given your consent or if consent can be reasonably presumed
– for example, within an existing business relationship or after previous
contact. SEW-EURODRIVE also uses your e-mail address which was obtained from
the contact persons during the conclusion of contracts in order to advertise
similar products and services. In all other cases, we only use your e-mail
address for advertising purposes with your separate consent. Of course, you
have the right to refuse these promotional contacts. We notify you of your
right to object to advertising in each separate case.

Furthermore, SEW-EURODRIVE processes the data collected within the framework
of the business relationship (contact information, product purchases,
services ordered) and obtained when the services on the website are used, at
trade fairs or during other advertising campaigns (use of data when accessing
the website or when participating in advertising campaigns, as well as the
voluntary information which you disclose when using the website) in order to
provide you with offers which are tailored to your interests. By means of the
above, we use the data which is collected over the course of the business
relationship and the data which is obtained when using products / services in
order to inform you of offers, information and current developments in
relation to our products and services which may be of interest. Thereby
SEW-EURODRIVE provides further information concerning products and services
of the SEW-EURODRIVE Group. By means of this data processing, we can showcase
the products and services which we think may be of interest to you by means
of personalized offers (website, e-mail or postal advertising).

We may also send you - as an existing customer or if we have otherwise
received your contact details - information in relation to special
promotions, events or trade fair events by post within the framework
described above. In this case, you will receive post from us with information
about the specific campaign and how you can participate and what information
you must issue us with. We will then often register your participation via an
event-related website and process your data for the stated purposes
indicated, for example to provide the products offered or send you
information. We may use the information received as part of the processing
described here. At the time of selection and sending of the initial
information, your data is processed on the basis of a consideration of our
interests, Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR; when you participate in a campaign and
register, your data is processed for the performance of the contract, in
accordance with Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR.

As a rule, your data is saved in the EU for advertising purposes. Thereby we
can use service providers whom we have carefully inspected and audited.
Should data be transferred to and processed on servers in third countries
outside the EU/EEA in individual cases, i.e. in particular the USA and, where
applicable, the United Kingdom (UK), we use engaged and monitored service
providers who have undertaken to guarantee an reasonable level of data
protection and with whom the EU standard data protection clauses of the EU
Commission have been agreed in principle. In individual cases, permission for
data transfer may also arise under Article 49 GDPR, for example fulfillment
of a contract with an international focus or if you have issued your consent.

To achieve the goals associated with this promotional usage, we process your
data over the service lives of our products and as long as you remain a
customer. Exceptions are made if you consent to a longer period of usage
and/or if the data is subject to statutory retention obligations. In the
latter case, the data is deleted after the retention period has elapsed. The
processing period may be shorter if you exercise your right to object, of
which we inform you in Section V.

The legal basis for this promotional usage is Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR or, if
you have given your consent, Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR. We will inform you
below of your rights regarding use for advertising purposes, in particular
your right to object.

d) Processing of personal data due to legal obligations
SEW-EURODRIVE, like every other company in Germany and Europe, is subject to
various legal obligations to verify the data of our customers and business
partners. In such cases, we process your personal data only to the extent
legally required. To fulfill these legal obligations, it may be necessary to
process some of your data automatically in order to evaluate personal aspects
(profiling). Unless you are expressly notified, automated individual
decision-making is conducted. The legal basis for this processing is Article
6(1)(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with the applicable statutory provisions.

These statutory provisions relate to, in particular:

* Prevention of fraud and money laundering
* Tax auditing and reporting requirements
* Evaluation and management of risks in the Group
* Sanctions lists
* Export control, customs regulations
* Auditing, in particular by tax consultants and auditors

2 Distribution of data within the SEW-EURODRIVE Group
SEW-EURODRIVE may pass on your master data (company name, contact persons,
address and contact details such as telephone number and e-mail address) to
other companies within the SEW-EURODRIVE Group and possibly update it in
order to ensure that all SEW-EURODRIVE companies involved with you in a
transaction (for example fulfilling a contract) have the same master data.
This is intended to simplify our processes and may help you avoid having to
provide the master data again when contacting another company within the
Group. The legal basis for this mode of data processing is Article 6(1)(1)(b
or f) GDPR. Your rights are safeguarded by internal contractual policies that
ensure a high standard of data protection.

Furthermore, in addition to master data, data relating to a concrete order
(order data) or data for the preparation of such an order in case of your
inquiry can be passed on to other EURODRIVE companies, should this be
necessary due to your order. For example, different SEW-EURODRIVE products
are manufactured by different SEW-EURODRIVE companies, so data may need to be
transferred to simplify order processing and delivery. In such cases, you
will be informed of this transfer upon conclusion of the contract. The legal
basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR.

If your company is based outside Germany, an SEW-EURODRIVE subsidiary
associated with us will be responsible for managing and processing your
contracts or inquires. Therefore, if you wish to receive contract offers or
additional information about SEW-EURODRIVE and our products, the personal
information we have stored for you (in particular: name, contact details,
associated company, products in which you are interested) must be transferred
to the SEW-EURODRIVE subsidiary that is responsible for your company's
location. This international representative of ours will use your personal
data unless you object to the dissemination or saving of your data in these
subsidiaries.

The processing procedures referred to above may result in your master data
being processed by SEW-EURODRIVE companies outside of the European Union (EU)
or European Economic Area (EEA). In cases where the EU Commission has not
specified an reasonable level of data protection, we have made contractual
commitments; generally, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses
and checked the level of protection of the country in detail. You can find a
list of the companies belonging to the Group here. This data is subject to
the same deletion policies described above.

IV. Data protection information for suppliers and subcontractors

a) Establishment, performance and termination of the supply contract /
transaction

SEW EURODRIVE procures goods and services from various suppliers and
subcontractors around the world for the execution of both internal and
external tasks, projects and transactions. In order to establish, perform and
terminate these supply/support transactions and to carry out their
professional tasks, it is necessary (purpose of the processing) for the
employees of SEW EURODRIVE and the contact persons of the
suppliers/subcontractors to exchange information by post, telephone or
electronically, e.g. by e-mail, and to process and store this information in
their respective analog and digital supplier management systems and
databases.

The following data is processed: last name; first name; (business) e-mail
address; telephone number; cellphone number; role in the company; delivery
and postal address; information from quotations, order confirmations,
contracts and invoices; your qualifications and certificates; the contents of
the supplier's self-disclosure; notes from conversations; and information
from our verbal, telephone or electronic correspondence.

SEW EURODRIVE processes the specified information in paper form and digitally
on servers in Bruchsal (Germany). All data is processed according to the
need-to-know principle. Auditors, tax advisors, lawyers, social insurance
agencies and supervisory/investigative authorities shall have access to this
information only to the extent and for the duration required by law and
necessary for the fulfillment of their tasks. Access may also be granted to
service providers who have been carefully selected and who are needed to
properly manage the supplier relationship (e.g. supplier surveys, supplier
audits, supply chain monitoring).

The data will be stored only to the extent and for the duration necessary to
establish, perform and terminate the services and to comply with legal,
contractual or internal retention periods.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1(b) and (f) of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The aforementioned purpose of the
processing also constitutes our legitimate interest.

If the cooperation between suppliers and SEW EURODRIVE constitutes a data
processing agreement or a joint controllership, we shall conclude
corresponding agreements with these suppliers.

b) Due diligence in supplier selection / regular supplier surveys

EU regulations (e.g. EU Conflict Minerals Regulation 2017/821/EU from May 17,
2017) and both national (e.g. the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG)) and
international (e.g. the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act of 2010) standards and laws
regarding transparency require us to exercise due diligence in selecting our
worldwide suppliers and to regularly review our supplier relationships,
including the supply chains, on both a legal and ethical level. In addition
to the applicable legal provisions, we comply with our internal Code of
Conduct in all SEW EURODRIVE subsidiaries worldwide. Key tenets of our
corporate philosophy include respecting human rights worldwide, ensuring fair
working conditions, combating corruption, mitigating armed conflicts,
monitoring supply chains and protecting the environment.

We conduct annual supplier surveys in order to prevent the use of conflict
materials, conflict resources and conflict minerals in our supply chain
(purpose of the processing). We conduct the surveys ourselves or commission a
specialized service provider to do so.

Section 1502 of the 2010 U.S. Dodd-Frank Act prohibits the use conflict
materials. To survey our suppliers regarding such materials, we employ the
specialized service provider Assent Inc., based in Ontario, Canada. Assent
Inc. sends internationally standardized questionnaires, known as Conflict
Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRT), to the contact persons of our suppliers,
which the suppliers then fill out directly online or upload to Assent Inc.'s
servers, which are located in a data center in Frankfurt. Assent receives and
processes the following information about and from the employees of our
suppliers: last name, first name, (business) e-mail address, telephone
number, company name, quotation number, order confirmation number, invoice
number, and contents/information from the questionnaire (CMRT).

Data is stored by Assent Inc. only to the extent and for the duration
necessary to fulfill the purpose of processing and to comply with legal,
contractual or internal retention periods.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1(f) of the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legitimate interest in surveying
suppliers' employees whether by us or external service providers—prevails, as
this is the only way to uniformly inspect supply chains and materials to
ensure that they are "conflict free." This also constitutes our suppliers'
interest.

V. Data protection information for visitors of SEW-EURODRIVE

We are pleased when you visit us on site - whether as a contact person of a
company (such as a customer or supplier), as a prospective customer,
applicant or employee from our SEW locations around the world. In order to be
able to quickly identify the respective location in the event of an accident
in our plant facilities or in the company and business premises and to be
able to track your visit to us, e.g., due to the assertion of claims for
damages and to protect our business and trade secrets (processing purposes),
we record the following information about you digitally in an internal IT
visitor system:

- Last name, first name

- Name of your organization or company and its location

- Your contact person at SEW-EURODRIVE

- Date and time of your arrival and departure

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The above purposes of processing
constitute our "legitimate interests". We store the information about you
that is registered in our internal visitor system for a period of three
years.

VI. Data protection information on the processing of personal data in
connection with trade fairs and other events

If you visit us at a trade fair or other networking event, we may exchange
information about our products or about existing or future collaboration, or
for the purpose of contacting each other for future business affairs, i.e. to
initiate, carry out or conclude business.

We will process the following information about you, depending on the
individual situation/case or what information you share with us:

• First name, last name.

• address.

• Title.

• (Business) phone number.

• (Business) e-mail address.

• Contents of your e-mail/messenger messages in connection with our
correspondence before, during or after a trade fair or event.

• Name and address of your company.

• Department in which you work.

• Your role at the company.

• Your industry.

• Information contained on the business cards that we exchange or that you
give us.

• Information taken from your (public) website or (public) social media
profile.

• Your likeness/appearance on foto, audio recording or video recording, if we
make and publish recordings as part of the event. If you are the focus of the
foto/recording, i.e. you are specifically to be seen or heard, we will obtain
your consent in advance.

• The information you enter in the Process Modules Questionnaire. In addition
to your name and contact details, this consists mainly of our questions and
your answers about products and processes (see Process Modules
Questionnaire). If you answer the questions on site using a tablet, the date
and time will also be recorded.

• The information that is recorded and documented in the conversation note.
In addition to your name and contact details, this includes but is not
limited to information about your industry, project planning, your visitor
category (customer, OEM, potential customer, supplier, press, student,
applicant, other service providers), main topics of the conversation, notes
from the conversation, excerpts of your statements (original audio) from the
conversation, your requested contact method (telephone, mail, e-mail,
messenger), interest in advertising, your planned orders.

• Other information from our correspondence before, during and after the
trade fair.

• Documentation/comment on the conversation note that you have objected to
the processing and storage of your data in our IT systems and files.

If you are a new customer, existing customer or prospective customer, the
information listed here will be entered into our Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) system and processed. The information is processed on SEW
EURODRIVE servers (on premises) in Bruchsal, Germany and in the cloud
environment of external cloud providers. To protect our IT systems from cyber
attacks and hackers, we do not publish the names of the external system
providers directly, but on request we will provide you with the (company)
names of the external recipients, system providers and/or cloud providers.
The data centers of SEW EURODRIVE and the external cloud providers are
located in the EU. The CRM can be accessed by employees working in sales and
customer support, as well as by those who maintain the IT systems and provide
support services.

If you are a supplier, the information presented here will be entered and
managed in our supplier management system.

If you contact us in a professional capacity, i.e. in the performance of your
job at the trade fair or event, the data processing will be based on Art. 6
para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, as the data processing (exchanging contact details,
initiating business/projects) is necessary for you and our employees to
complete your/their tasks.

The legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Managing contacts,
initiating business and conducting business constitute both our and your
legitimate interest.

For the purpose of public relations, we may make and publish still images,
audio recordings and video recordings of the event or our trade fair booth.
If you are the focus of the image/recording, i.e. you are specifically to be
seen and/or heard, we will obtain your consent. We will also obtain your
consent if we interview you and publish this interview or a statement
(original audio) from you in the media. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1
lit. a) GDPR. If you are not the focus of the recording but rather a
peripheral person, e.g. one person among many, then our legitimate interest
in making and publishing the recordings takes precedence. The legal basis is
then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Please read our data protection information
on the creation and publication of fotos, audio recordings and video
recordings. in Section VIII. of the data protection information .

If you participate in an on-site survey/questionnaire, we will obtain your
consent in advance. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The information is stored insofar and as long as is necessary to fulfill the
aforementioned purposes and/or to comply with legal retention obligations.

If you are a customer or potential customer, we will also process your data
as described in Section III.

If you take part in an on-site survey, the data protection information in
Section III.3 also applies.

If we connect on a social network such as XING or LinkedIn in connection with
the event, the privacy policy of the social network in question must also be
observed.

VII. Data protection information for the creation and publication of photo,
audio and video recordings as well as press and advertising texts

If you attend one of our events or training sessions or visit us at a trade
fair or for other reasons and make contact with us in person, we or an
authorized external agency may for the purposes of public relations work or
employer branding create and publish photo, audio and video recordings of the
proceedings and the people at our events (training sessions, trade fairs
etc.), in which you are either the focus of the photo/recording or are
recognizable as a peripheral person, i.e. one person among many and not in
the focus of the respective photograph/recording. In individual cases, you
may talk to us or we may ask you specifically about the particular event, our
products or our cooperation, for example, and we may process and publish a
quote or statement from you in a press release. In addition to your outward
appearance (photograph and video recording), voice and language (video and
sound recording), we may in certain circumstances also collect – depending on
the situation – your name, position in the company, e-mail address, phone
number, for example, if we mention you in a press release, social media post
or in an image caption. If you are the focus of the photographs/recordings,
we will assign a tag ID to enable us to subsequently identify you on the
photographs/recordings.

Depending on how and where the images/recordings and the press releases in
which you are mentioned are published, they may be seen, heard, saved,
evaluated or reproduced internally within SEW EURODRIVE and externally, that
is, worldwide by anyone who has access to the particular medium. Media are,
for example, the worldwide web, local, regional, national, global online and
print media, printed advertising materials, such as brochures and fliers from
SEW EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG and its affiliated companies
(https://www.sew-eurodrive.de/meta-pages/contacts_worldwide.html), on the
websites, mobile apps and blogs of SEW EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG and on the
websites, mobile apps and blogs of its affiliated companies
(https://www.sew-eurodrive.de/meta-pages/contacts_worldwide.html), in
regional, national and international trade magazines, on the local, regional
and national radio and television stations, online journals, social media
platforms, in digital media, on the pages/profiles of SEW EURODRIVE GmbH & Co
KG and its affiliated companies, in social networks such as YouTube,
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, XING as well as in internal SEW
EURODRIVE media (e.g. the global SEW EURODRIVE intranet DriveNet, SEW
EURODRIVE company magazines such as EURODRIVER/Direkt, News Center,
mitarbeiterinfo.sew), in newsletters or e-mails from SEW EURODRIVE GmbH & Co
KG and in newsletters or e-mails from its affiliated companies. If we publish
images/recordings and press releases, for example, in our EURODRIVER employee
magazine, the images and, for example, your statements and quotes may be read
by SEW EURODRIVE customers worldwide or by former SEW EURODRIVE employees who
receive the magazine. If we publish images/recordings and press releases on
our Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn or Instagram channels, all
users of these social media platforms can access them. If we publish
recordings on the radio and television, everyone who receives these channels
can watch and listen to them.

If you are the focus of an image/recording and can be clearly and
unambiguously recognized or heard and/or are mentioned by name in a press
release/advertising text, for example, together with a quote and your
position at the company and are published in the stated media, we will obtain
your informed consent in advance. When we obtain your consent, we will also
assign a tag ID. The purpose of this is to enable us to subsequently identify
you in the images/recordings. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6(1)(a), 7
GDPR. In accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR, you can withdraw your consent at any
time without stating the reasons for doing so. You can do this, for example,
by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@sew-eurodrive.de.

If you have granted us unlimited consent, we will publish and save the press
releases/advertising texts and images/recordings for an unlimited period of
time. If you withdraw your consent within one month, we will delete the
images/recordings in which you alone are the focus. Passages in press
releases/advertising texts in which you are specifically mentioned will be
deleted within one month provided that this is legally, technically and
economically possible and reasonable for us.

If you are not the focus of the images/recordings, but are merely a
peripheral person in a recording or depicted group, then our legitimate
interest (for example public relations work and employer branding) in the
publication of this image/recording may in certain circumstances also
outweigh your interest in non-publication. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR. In accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR, you can raise an objection to this
at any time without stating the reasons for doing so. You can do this, for
example, by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@sew-eurodrive.de. If you have
raised an objection, we will try to make you unrecognizable and/or inaudible
in the texts and/or images/recordings within one month by pixelating (image,
photograph, video) and/or distorting them (voice, sound) and/or deleting the
text, provided that this is legally, technically and economically possible
and reasonable for us.

We also wish to inform you that we cannot exclude the possibility that press
releases/advertising texts or images/recordings that were published on the
Internet with your consent or based on our overriding interest, may continue
to circulate on the Internet even after they have been deleted or made
unrecognizable (for example, by pixelating) by us and the media/portals for
which SEW EURODRIVE is responsible. We also cannot exclude the possibility
that they may have been previously downloaded, copied and further processed
by third parties in their original "uncensored" state.
