Where we electronically communicate with you (e.g. by instant messaging, SMS/IM/MMS, and other mobile phone messaging (but excluding voice to voice communications)) for the purpose(s) mentioned above, we comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) as amended from time to time. We take steps to ensure that our electronic communications meet the following conditions, they:
- will only be sent with your consent, which you either provide expressly, or in very limited circumstances, that consent is inferred by your conduct or an existing ongoing business relationship;
- contain accurate information about us and how to contact us; and
- contain a functional unsubscribe facility to allow you to opt out of receiving electronic messages from us in the future.
2.4.2 Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth)
The Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth) allows telephone numbers to be registered if they are used primarily for domestic or private purposes in order to allow you to opt out of receiving most telemarketing calls or marketing faxes. If you have registered your private or domestic number on the register, then we will not contact you for telemarketing purposes for example, offering to sell you goods or services except if you have expressly opted in to receive direct marketing phone calls from us of which you can opt out of at any time.
However, we will still contact you for purposes that are not telemarketing purposes, including but not limited to the following:
- product recall, issue and fault rectification calls;
- appointment reminder and rescheduling calls;
- calls relating to payments;
- calls relating to a contract or the subject matter of contract we have with you; and
- solicited calls.
2.4.3 Opting out - Direct marketing, electronic communications and telephone calls
If you do not wish to receive direct marketing, electronic communications or telephone calls from us for direct marketing purposes, you can opt out at any time. When you opt out, we will stop sending the material until such time as you change your preferences.
If you elect not to receive any direct marketing material from us, you are likely to miss out on special product and service promotions, invitations to events, publications and other items that fall into this category.
You can opt out by contacting our Privacy Officer as per the details set out in item 4.3 of this Privacy Policy.

3. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
3.1 Integrity and quality of personal information
We take reasonable care to ensure that personal information we use, store and subsequently destroy/delete (where relevant) meets certain quality requirements, in that the personal information is accurate, up to date and complete.
3.2 Security of personal information
While care is taken to protect your personal information, unfortunately no data transmission over the internet is guaranteed as being 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us or receive from us online. That is particularly true for information you send to us via email as we have no way of protecting the information until it reaches us. Once we receive your personal information, we are required to protect it in accordance with the Privacy Act.
MBAuP follows the Mercedes-Benz Group global policies, guidelines and standards to secure your information. We continually train and remind our staff of the importance of keeping information safe and secure.
We have adopted active security measures to ensure that your personal information is kept safe from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, disclosure and modification, such as:
(a) System security: Our application systems are password protected and can be accessed only by people authorised to do so. Our policies require us to encrypt confidential information, for instance, when you provide information to us using our website or when you send information from your computer to us. Security is inbuilt into the design and operations of our systems through the use of firewalls, ethical hacking and virus scanning tools.
(b) Physical security: Our premises are protected against unauthorised access by way of access card for entry, cameras, alarms and security services.
(c) Data retention: If personal information is no longer required for the purpose for which we are permitted to use, disclose or legally retain it, then we will permanently remove from a record any information by which an individual may be identified in order to prevent future re-identification from the data available. We retain information as long as needed to comply with the law or our own corporate policies and procedures.
Whilst we seek to keep your personal information secure, errors may occur from time to time and we will act quickly to investigate them and implement measures to avoid them from happening again (where possible).
We will at no time sell, rent or trade your personal information to or with any other unrelated entity.
4. ACCESS, CORRECTION, COMPLAINTS AND ENQUIRIES
We take reasonable steps to ensure that information we collect, hold or disclose about you is accurate, complete and up to date.
4.1 Access to information we hold about you
At any time you can request access to information we hold about you. We aim to respond to your request within 30 days. We may charge a reasonable fee for information requests.
Whilst we are obliged to provide you with access to your information, there are exceptions and those are outlined in the Privacy Act. If one of the exceptions applies to your access request, we will (if reasonable in the circumstances) work with you and attempt to provide you with access in a way to meet both of our needs. If it is reasonable in the circumstances, we will also notify you in writing if we have determined to refuse access to your personal information due to one of the exceptions listed above and the reasons for that refusal.
4.2 Correction of information we hold about you
We also encourage you to actively engage with us and let us know when your details change or if your personal information needs correction or updating via our contact information provided below.
4.3 Complaints and enquiries
If you are not happy with the way we have handled your personal information or believe that we have breached the Privacy Act or the APPs, please contact us and we will try our best to resolve the matter with you. For security reasons, we request that complaints, requests for access to or correction of personal information or any enquiries or questions concerning privacy matters be put in writing and either e-mailed or posted to:
The Privacy Officer
Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd
44 Lexia Place
Mulgrave, Victoria
Australia 3170
By phone: 1300 300 896
By email: mbaupprivacyofficer@mercedes-benz.com

5. INFORMATION RELATING TO PROSPECTIVE, CURRENT AND FORMER EMPLOYEES
Due to the employee records exemption in the Privacy Act, this Privacy Policy does not apply to our past or current employees. However, we recognise that employee records should be handled with the utmost care and we therefore will comply with any obligations that may apply to employee personal information under other applicable laws.
If an employee has any questions or requests relating to their employee records, then the employee should contact MBAuP’s human resources department.
This Privacy Policy applies to independent contractors, job seekers, secondees and work experience students.
6. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OBTAINING A COPY OF THIS POLICY
We make our Privacy Policy available on our websites and will provide a copy of this Privacy Policy to anyone who requests it free of charge.
We review and update this Privacy Policy from time to time to ensure it is current. If such a review or update does occur, the most current version of the Privacy Policy is placed on our websites.

Privacy Statement on shared analysis and marketing activities in relation to this Mercedes-Benz website by Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd (MBAuP); Mercedes-Benz AG (MBAG) and Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG (MBM)
This Privacy Statement is to be read in conjunction with the MBAuP Privacy Policy which can be found here.
This privacy statement describes how the three entities listed above process your personal data for the purpose of shared analysis and marketing activities on this specific website. Protecting your personal data is a high priority for all of the entities listed above, and is taken into account for all business processes. This privacy statement provides you with a detailed summary regarding the processing of your personal data in relation to the analysis and marketing activities mentioned below.
"Personal data", according to the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR), means all information that relates to a natural person who has been or can be identified. You will also find information on what rights you are entitled to regarding the processing of your personal data according to the GDPR.
The way Mercedes-Benz entities process personal data within, or related to individuals within, the European Union and European Economic Area is always based on the Mercedes-Benz Group Data Protection Policy EU.
Who is responsible for processing my personal data, and whom can I contact on the topic of data protection?
The (joint) controllers responsible for processing your personal data for shared analysis and marketing activities on this specific website are:
Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd
44 Lexia Place, Mulgrave,
Victoria 3170, Australia
Email: mbaupprivacyofficer@mercedes-benz.com
Mercedes-Benz AG
Mercedesstr. 120
70372 Stuttgart, Germany
Email: dialog.mb@mercedes-benz.com
Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG
Siemensstr. 7
70469 Stuttgart, Germany
Email: mbm@mercedes-benz.com
Data protection officer for MBAG and MBM:
Mercedes-Benz Group AG
Group Data Protection Officer
HPC E600
D-70546 Stuttgart, Germany
Email: data.protection@mercedes-benz.com
MBAuP and MBAG as well as MBAG and MBM have concluded joint controllership agreements according to Art. 26 GDPR. For more information, please see the table below.
Where does my data come from and what data is processed?
Whenever you visit this specific website and if you have consented the following categories of data are stored and shared with MBAG and MBM:
Server-Logfiles: Certain information about the browser, operating system and IP address (only very short-term) you are using; the date and time of your visit; the status of the interaction (e.g. whether you were able to access the website or received an error message)
Clickstream Data: Your usage of the website and its features; any search phrases you entered; how often you visit the website and the campaign from which you accessed this specific website
Online identification features: Your Cookie ID, Web Client or/and App ID
Geo-location data: The country and the city from where you accessed our website (derived from the IP address)
Payment information: Payment method you used while purchasing something on this specific website
MBAuP processes that data about your visit on this specific website together with the other controllers -depending on your consent- using the following technologies:
• For analysis purposes:
- Google Analytics 360
• For marketing purposes:
- Salesforce Interaction Studio
- Salesforce Audience Studio
- Adobe Target
For what purpose and on what legal basis is your personal data processed?
The personal data collected during your visit on this website is used for conducting personalization and targeted advertising measures. Moreover, the website usage behavior is analyzed to improve website usability and enhance digital products and campaigns. In addition, that data is used for statistical reports.
Within the scope of the joint controllership, your personal data is processed based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your consent is optional and may be withdrawn at any time through the Consent Management Platform of this specific website. The lawfulness of data processing before such withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Will my data be sent to a third country?
When passing on data to third parties based on your consent, personal data may be provided from within the European Union ("EU") or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to recipients in countries outside the EU or EEA, i. e., in a so-called third country.
In some third countries, from the EEA's point of view, an adequate level of personal data protection (so-called "adequacy") exists, in compliance with EU standards. With recipients in other third countries, MBAG and MBM agree on the use of EU standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules or other applicable instruments to create an "adequate level of protection" according to legal requirements. For more information, please contact one of the controllers.
To the extent that you consent within our Consent Management Platform, you also consent to transfer data to recipients in countries outside of the EEA where no “adequate level of protection” exists. You may find information on data transferred, data recipients or categories of data recipients, and the relevant countries in our Consent Management Platform under a (cookie) settings link in the footer at the bottom of the website. Data protection law in these countries may not be fully comparable to that in the European Economic Area. In this case, international data transfer to recipients outside of the European Economic Area (if any) is based on your consent according to Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.
How long will my data be stored?
Your personal data will be stored until the purpose for which it was collected and processed has been fulfilled. Beyond this period, data storage only takes place to the extent made necessary by applicable legislation, regulations or other legal provisions in the European Economic Area or in third countries if these have an adequate level of data protection. If personal data must be retained on such basis, the relevant personal data are flagged to restrict their further processing.
In addition to the rights available to you under Australian law, you also have the following rights under GDPR
According to GDPR, you have certain rights regarding the processing of your personal data. Making you aware of these rights is very important to Mercedes-Benz:
Right of access: You can request access to your personal data processed by us (Art. 15 GDPR).
Right to correction of inaccurate data: You have a right to request correction of your personal data, in case it is inaccurate (Art. 16 GDPR).
Right to deletion: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data. The criteria allow you to request the deletion of your personal data if, for example, it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. You can also demand the deletion of your personal data if it is unlawfully processed, or if you have rightfully objected to the processing of your data, revoked your consent to the same or there is a legal obligation to delete it (Art. 17 GDPR).
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your data. This right especially applies for the duration of the review if you have disputed the accuracy of your personal data, as well as in the case that, for an existing right to deletion, you request restricted processing instead of erasure. Furthermore, there will be restricted processing if the data is no longer required for legitimate purposes, but you still need the data in order to assert, exercise or defend legal rights, as well as if the successful assertion of an objection is in dispute between you and MBAG and/or MBM (Art. 18 GDPR).
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, common, machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR), insofar as the data has not been deleted already.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: If you feel that processing of your data is not in line with the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in an EU member state, e.g., a data protection agency responsible for your place of residence, workplace or location where the alleged data protection violation occurred (Art. 77 GDPR).
If you wish to assert one of your rights or receive more information, please contact one of the controllers stated above. Preferably, please contact MBAuP.

Data Protection and Collection Statement – for Online Appointment Booking (‘Privacy Statement’)

E-mail: mbaupprivacyofficer@mercedes-benz.com
1. Data Protection
We appreciate you visiting our website and your interest in the products we offer. Protecting your
personal data is very important to us. In this Privacy Statement, we explain how we collect your
personal data, what we do with it, for what purposes and on what legal basis we do so, and what rights
you have on that basis. For more details, please also refer to the Mercedes-Benz Data Protection Policy:
Mercedes-Benz Data Protection Policy (English).
This Privacy Statement applies exclusively to the process of online appointment scheduling. The
privacy statements for the use of our websites and the Mercedes-Benz Data Protection Policy do not
apply to your activities on the websites of social networks or other providers that can be accessed
using the links on our websites. Please read the data protection provisions on the websites of those
providers.
The Privacy Statement below applies in addition to the Privacy Policy on use of our website and app,
to which you have already consented.
2. Collecting and Processing Your Personal Data
You have two options when scheduling an appointment online:
a. You can book an appointment as a guest on our website.
b. You can book an appointment with your Mercedes me account.
We will collect and process your personal data regardless of whether you schedule the appointment
as a guest or using your Mercedes me account. If you book an appointment using your Mercedes me
account, you may see various input fields automatically prepopulated with your information.
If you book a service appointment using the online scheduling process, we will collect and process, in
particular, the following personal information belonging to you:
- Customer's master data – in particular, the customer's name
- Contact data belonging to the customer – in particular, the customer's address, telephone
number and e-mail address
- Vehicle data – particularly, the vehicle identification number (VIN), model, license plate
number and kilometer reading
- Any other data you send us using the comment field
You are neither legally nor contractually required to provide us with the data specified above.
However, you will not be able to schedule a service appointment unless you enter and transmit the
data.
No automated decision-making or profiling will take place on the basis of the data transmitted.
3. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties, Use of Service Providers
a. We use processors (especially ‘Mercedes-Benz AG’) to perform our services. The disclosure of your
data to these organizations takes place under strict confidentiality obligations and in accordance with
the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended) and specifically, the Australian Privacy Principles contained in
Schedule 1 of that Act (‘APPs’).
b. If you book a service appointment online, your personal data will also be shared with your selected
Mercedes-Benz partner for additional planning and preparation for your service appointment.
4. Purpose of Use
a. When you book a service appointment online, your personal data will be used for the following
purposes:
- Once your reservation is completed, the data will be shared with selected Mercedes-Benz
partners so they can schedule and prepare your service appointment.
- The services and prices offered will be matched with your vehicle so they can be displayed on
the scheduling page.
- You will be provided with an alternative vehicle selection based on your license plate number
instead of the VIN.
- To enable simplified login based on your VIN (when booking via your Mercedes me account)
and the associated sending of a TAN as a security feature.
- To enable simplified booking by prepopulating the scheduling page using an offer from the
preferred Mercedes-Benz partner so that all you need to do is pick a service date.
b. Your data can also be processed for purposes of product development, product monitoring and
safety, product defense and quality assurance as well as for risk and cost control.
Mercedes-Benz AG will also process the collected data for the purpose of analysis as part of the
development and improvement of products (particularly vehicle parts, vehicle software and services
such as Mercedes me connect) as well as of internal processes and systems for the purpose of risk and
cost control and purposes of product monitoring and safety and quality assurance.
Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz AG will use your data to conduct typical after-sales and business
analytics evaluations (e.g. to verify the cost effectiveness of the services and products offered by
Mercedes-Benz AG or to determine how many products of a certain type have been sold in a country
or to validate its pricing models).
To enable Mercedes-Benz AG to perform the described analyses and evaluations, your data may be
combined with other information on the vehicle being serviced, its model, series, features, parts and
components already known to Mercedes-Benz AG as well as data collected by Mercedes-Benz AG for
the same purpose (e.g. Mercedes me connect, production and delivery information, plus services
provided by Mercedes-Benz AG).
The data transmitted may also be used by Mercedes-Benz AG in anonymized form for other purposes
of processing – for example, statistics, business analyses and analyses of business and cost control,
billing and product improvement in addition to improving our internal and sales processes. In this
instance, it will no longer be possible to attribute the data to a specific individual.
Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz AG reserves the right to use the data to defend itself when facing claims
asserted against Mercedes-Benz AG or one of our affiliated companies by you or third parties on the
basis of a warranty, warranty rights or other (alleged) defect in our products or services (e.g. so that
we can prove that a product was not defective, referred to as "product defense").
5. Security
We take technical and organizational security measures in order to protect your information managed
by us from being tampered with, lost, destroyed or accessed by unauthorized individuals. We are
continuously improving our security measures in line with technological advancements.
6. Legal Bases for Data Processing
a. We collect and process your personal data described in more detail in section 2 in order to initiate
a contractual relationship and to fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
b. We also process personal data for the purpose of exercising our legitimate interests and the
legitimate interests of third parties. As part of the consideration of interests required in each case, we
take into account various aspects – in particular, the type of personal information, the purpose of
processing, the circumstances of processing, and your interest in the confidentiality of your personal
information.
7. Deleting Your Personal Data
We delete your personal information as soon as the purpose for which it was collected and processed
has been fulfilled. Beyond this time period, data storage only takes place to the extent made necessary
by the legislation, regulations or other legal provisions to which we are subject. Should it not be
possible to delete the data in individual cases, the relevant personal data is flagged to restrict its further
processing.
8. Rights of the Data Subject
a. As a data subject affected by data processing, you have the right to information (APP 12) and
correction (APP 13)
b. If you have consented to the processing of your personal data by us, you have the right to revoke
your consent at any time. Your revocation does not affect the legality of the processing of your
personal data that took place before your consent was revoked. It also has no effect on the continued
processing of the information on another legal basis, such as to fulfill legal obligations (see section
titled "Legal Bases for Data Processing").
c. If you have any questions, claims or complaints about the handling of your personal information
please contact us: mbaupprivacyofficer@mercedes-benz.com.
d. If your concerns are not resolved to your satisfaction, or for information about privacy generally,
please contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au and on 1300
