Customer Charter: Responsible Digitalisation

As Europe's leading photo service provider and partner for online printing, CEWE wants to remain a technological pioneer and advance new opportunities of digitalisation for this purpose, including artificial intelligence. We represent reflected progress.

CEWE pursues a responsible and customer-oriented use of digital technologies. We have formulated our basic philosophy in this customer charter. Before drawing up the charter, we discussed the contents with users of our products in our customer forum. Owing to the fact that digitalisation and new technologies are developing rapidly, we will adjust this charter continuously. However, we will always pursue the values outlined here. Furthermore, we have founded an independent advisory council for digitalisation that provides support and assesses new technologies.

Prof. Wolfgang Wahlster (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence), Prof. Susanne Boll (Oldenburg University) and Ranga Yogeshwar (Physicist and TV Host)

Our values:

1. We protect your data.

Data protection always has the highest priority at CEWE (‘Privacy by Design’). We neither sell customer data nor do we forward it to third parties without our customers' consent. Comprehensive data analyses only take place with anonymised data or with the customer's express consent.

2. Our technologies are intended to help you.

For CEWE, the goals when using digitalisation technologies will always be ease of use by the customer and greater enjoyment of this use.

3. You have the control and the freedom.

At CEWE, customers stay in control. For example, recommendations from digital wizards in our software can always be modified, rejected or opted out of in advance.

4. We are open and transparent.

CEWE is transparent in the use of artificial intelligence. CEWE explains the mode of operation of artificial intelligence in customer products to the greatest extent possible. Before technologies of this nature are introduced, CEWE reviews them with the advisory council with regard to the criteria in this Customer Charter.

5. We want to define our future actively based on European values.

It is CEWE's belief that Europeans need to retain the ability to innovate in the area of new digitalisation technologies themselves. This is necessary not least to ensure that these technologies are handled in accordance with our values. CEWE therefore supports research and teaching in the area of artificial intelligence in Europe.
