With this note we inform you about the data we collect from you, how we use it and how you can object to the use of your data.

Which data do we collect and how and why do we collect your data?

We collect and process your data exclusively for specific purposes. These can result from technical necessities, contractual requirements or explicit user requests.

For technical reasons, it is necessary to collect and store certain data when using this app (e.g. IP address).

The processing of your data may become necessary in various contexts and is based in each case on different legal bases within the meaning of Article 6 or 9 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These are in particular:

  • A prior consent obtained from us for specific purposes (e.g. for the receipt of advertising);
  • a contractual relationship or, at your request, pre-contractual measures (e.g. in case of executing an order, if your company works for DB Cargo)
  • legal obligations for data processing (e.g. in the case of a justified request for information from authorities such as the Federal Railway Authority),
  • in special cases, such as accidents, the legal basis that we process data to protect a person's vital interests,
  • the predominant legitimate interest of us or a third party (e.g. in the case of the processing of personal data in the context of video surveillance) or
  • the processing of special types of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO ("sensitive" data, in particular health data) shall only be carried out on the basis of the legal bases specified in Art. 9 DSGVO,
  • i.e. in particular on the basis of the consent of the data subject or insofar as this is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In principle, it is important for us to collect only the data which is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes. In addition, we may also collect data that promotes the purpose of the contract but is not absolutely necessary, e.g. in connection with certain comfort functions. We make this transparent by, e.g. marking mandatory fields, as such in online forms.
