AVL SET Privacy Policy
The protection of your privacy is important to AVL SET.
This AVL SET Privacy Notice is designed to help you understand how we collect, use and safeguard the information you provide. It explains how we handle your personal information and how you can access and update your preferences. The AVL SET Privacy Notice applies to all of your interactions with AVL SET through:
• avl-set.com
• subsites to avl-set.com
• sister sites if these include this Privacy Notice by reference
Personal data you share with us through these sites will be processed by AVL SET and the AVL group according to the principles set out below:
Personal Data include, for example, your email, contact and company address information etc. that you provide us (e.g. through a registration process on www.avl-set.com or through other channels).
Areas of the AVL SET Website
Anyone may visit the public areas of the AVL SET website www.avl-set.com without disclosing his or her name, address, etc. Such information is only requested by AVL SET if needed to provide services to you or to fulfill requests you may have (such as ordering documents, subscribing to a newsletter, registering for an event, etc.).
When you use our website for informational purposes, only, and for as long as you do not provide us with any information about you, then we only collect data that is technically necessary for us to show you our website and to ensure its stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Such data are:
If you want to enjoy content on our website in a user-targeted manner you are required to register into secure areas, made available as part of our website. The content and applications in such secure areas are selected according to your account settings and access rights.
Interests and Preferences (your interests and preferences related to our products and solutions and what you have downloaded from avl-set.com)
The purpose of collecting Personal Data in such secure areas, is to make it possible for you, as an AVL SET website user, to influence the content we will serve you with (by reflecting your own personal needs and preferences). Also, you enable us to provide you with information on specific topics via your preferred channel (website, email, postal, phone), if you have opted to receive such information. Further, the objective is to make it easier for you to engage and interact with our products and solution portfolios, receive offerings, and purchase products via the AVL SET website.
According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR the processing of your data is necessary for fulfilling a contract with us or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, since without this we cannot conclude the contract or take pre-contractual measures.
Information about the collection of Personal Data when you email us
When you contact us by e-mail, through a form on our website (such as the registration form for the participation to an event, or to download a publication), or through other areas on the website made available to you to fill information, the information you provide (your e-mail address and, if applicable, your first name and last name, plus information explicitly asked for, or further information you provide us with) will be stored by us to answer your questions, to process transactions that you have requested or to pass on information about AVL SET products and solutions (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
Information about the use of Personal Data when you send us a Letter of Application
When you send us an application (i.e. by e-mail, through a form on our website, mail etc.) we use the Personal Data provided by you to process your application. We collect this data directly from you and receive and store it when you send it to us or otherwise provide it. When doing so, you are explicitly expressing your interest in working for AVL SET. You are responsible for ensuring that this information is accurate and truthful. You have the possibility to apply for one specific position only, by referring to the specific position in your application (i.e. in your cover letter, in an e-mail you send us etc.).
The provision of your Personal Data is necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures, and a possible later conclusion of a contract (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). If you would not provide such information, it would mean, that the implementation of pre-contractual measures and any conclusion of a contract would not be possible.
In addition, it is possible for you to provide us with your Personal Data independently of a specific position by mentioning this in your application (i.e. in your cover letter, in an e-mail you send us etc.). You thereby agree, that we process your data independently from a specific application procedure and we may contact you for another suitable position that seems to match your preferences. In the case mentioned we process your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The Controller for the application process, pursuant to Art. 4 para. 7 GDPR, is the company identified as the prospective employer in the job advertisement. If no such information is given in the job advertisement, the Controller is mentioned in the imprint, as per section “Responsible Body (“Controller”)”.
The information collected within the application process will never be shared with third parties outside the AVL group, but we use third party service providers to provide you with our website. As part of the application process, your data may also be forwarded to the relevant line managers (within the AVL group of companies) if this is necessary to carry out the application process.
After the end of the application process or if you withdraw your application, your data will be deleted in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, unless you agree to be considered for further positions. We will then store your data until you revoke your consent or the retention time specified by you has lapsed.

Cookies are small files that are stored on a user’s computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and they can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script that is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next (see http://www.whatarecookies.com/).
Cookies help to improve your experience with our website by helping you resume where you left off, remembering your login, your preferences, and or providing you with various tailored functions, such as showing you content targeted to your interests. We use information derived from cookies to improve the navigation structure of the AVL SET website and optimize their user-friendliness (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). A large part of the AVL SET website may also be viewed without cookies.
Some of the cookies which are used on our website are necessary, while others help us to improve your experience by providing insights into how the site is being used. Necessary cookies enable core functionality. The website cannot function properly without these cookies; they can only be disabled by changing your browser preferences. Analytical cookies help us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on its usage.
To constantly improve and optimize our AVL SET product and service offerings, we are using web tracking technologies. For this we are using Google Analytics, a Web analytics tool offered by Google Inc. (“Google”, www.google.com) that provides statistics and tracks web traffic.
Google Analytics requires the placing of “cookies” on the device from which you access the web pages. These cookies enable us to analyze the use of our web pages by you. In addition, for the purpose of identifying trends and improving our online offer, usage data, like the page last visited, the browser used, date, time, etc. are being evaluated. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the web pages are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US Framework.
AVL SET uses Google’s services by enabling the IP anonymization feature. This leads to Google storing the user’s IP address only in a shortened format, resulting in anonymization / masking. The anonymization or masking of the IP takes place after the IP addresses arrive in the Google Analytics data collection network, but before any storage or processing of the data takes place. For more information, see: IP Anonymization in Google Analytics.
On behalf of AVL SET, Google will use the information obtained from cookies to evaluate the use of the web pages by you, to compile reports on web page activity and to provide other services related to web page activity and internet usage to SET Power Systems. This is our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
In addition, data submitted to Google via the Google Analytics service is linked by Google with third-party cookies associated with visits to other websites, such as when an advertiser uses their Google Analytics data to create more relevant ads or would like to more accurately analyze their traffic. More about this can be found under the explanatory page about Google Analytics provided by Google.
