Moreover, our employees are obliged to maintain confidentiality with regard to the handling of personal data.
The controller as defined by data protection law is the MAN company that processes your data as part of an existing or incipient contractual relationship.
In the event of questions relating to data protection, please contact the data protection officer/data protection coordinator at the MAN company with which you have or are initiating a contractual relationship.
