For what purposes and on what legal basis is your data processed? From whom / where do we receive your data?

We process your personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and all other applicable laws.

Lufthansa shares are registered shares with restricted transferability. In accordance with Section 67 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) in its currently applicable version and the requirements of the German Aviation Compliance Documentation Act (LuftNaSiG), which is applicable to Lufthansa, the name, date of birth/incorporation, postal address, electronic address, nationality and number of shares acquired are required to add a shareholder to the share register.

The intermediaries involved in the acquisition or custody of Lufthansa registered shares within the meaning of Section 67 (4) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) (e.g. credit institutions)

forward the information of the shareholders to us, which are relevant for the maintenance of the share register (e.g. in addition to the aforementioned data, also gender and submitting bank) and, if applicable, their legal or legal representatives. This is done via Clearstream Banking AG, which, as the technical central depository, is responsible for the technical processing of securities transactions and the safekeeping of shares on behalf of the banks. If you sell your shares, the credit institution also notifies us of the purchaser via Clearstream.

We use this personal data and other information that you provide to us as shareholders and, if applicable, shareholder representatives, in particular via our electronic shareholder portal (e.g. questions or voting instructions for the Annual General Meeting), for the purposes stipulated in the AktG, the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1212 and the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). These are, in particular, the maintenance of the share register, communication with you as a shareholder and, if applicable, representatives and intermediaries acting on your behalf, as well as the handling of Annual General Meetings; this also includes the preparation of statistics, such as for the presentation of the shareholder structure (pursuant to Section 6 LuftNaSiG) or for overviews of the largest shareholders (compare Section 40 WpHG). The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is §§ 67 to 67e AktG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

In the context of the Annual General Meeting, we process your personal data in order to enable you the exercise of your shareholder rights at the Annual General Meeting. The processing of your personal data is necessary for you to cast your vote or exercise your other shareholder rights in accordance with the provisions of AktG (Section 118 et seq. AktG; Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR).

In addition, we may also process your personal data to fulfill other legal obligations, e.g. due to capital market and other regulatory requirements, obligations under stock corporation, commercial and tax law to retain data, or to compare your data with sanctions lists in order to comply with anti- terrorism legislation (e.g. EU Regulation 2580/2001). In order to comply with stock corporation law, for example, when authorizing the proxies appointed by the Company for the Annual General Meeting, we must record the data used to prove the authorization in a verifiable manner. In this case, the legal basis for processing is Section 134 (3) sentence 5 AktG and Article 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

Furthermore, we offer you as a shareholder the opportunity to register for our online service in order to communicate with you electronically. Please refer to section 2.3.3 of our data protection information (https://www.lufthansagroup.com/en/service/privacy.html) for more information on data protection.

How long do we store your data?

As a matter of principle, we anonymize and/or delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes and insofar as we are not obliged by law to continue retaining it (e.g. under AktG, the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung)).
