Smart Label, QR Code Process:

By scanning the QR code on the smart label of a Knorr-Bremse packaging, you start the preparations for a product authenticity check.

This takes you to the mytruckservices.knorr-bremse.com website and makes the IP address of your smartphone available for communication use as part of the authenticity check and the product-relevant data for the authenticity check itself.

The IP address, which is categorized as personal information, is therefore only required to send the result of the authenticity check back to the smartphone.

For this purpose, we assert our legitimate interest as a legal basis.

Immediately after this dialog has been completed, the IP address is anonymized and is then no longer available as private information.

The anonymized IP address can only be used for a rough location estimate. This is used if the GPS data of the scanning smartphone has not been shared. This information would then be used as minimum information for analyses.

Location data / GPS:

You have the option of controlling the sharing of GPS data as location data yourself. When you first visit the mytruckservices.knorr-bremse.com website via a QR code scan, you set the availability or handling of the GPS data according to your wishes.

You can make changes to these settings at a later date directly on your smartphone.

This location information in connection with an anonymized IP address is no longer personal data and is therefore used for analyses of QR code usage.

If the GPS data is not available, the anonymized IP address described above is used for the analyses instead.

The location data is not used with reference to the mobile device.

Collaboration with our processor:

We transmit the IP address and GPS data (if made available) to our service provider or processor.

The processing explained above takes place there according to the instructions of Knorr-Bremse Truck Services GmbH. The processor is contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection requirements.
