Privacy Policy
The protection of personality and privacy is very important to us as a public transport company. We ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the law and in accordance with the applicable provisions of data protection law.
With the following principles, public transport companies are opening a new way for trust-based data management:
You decide on the processing of your personal data.
You can at any time refuse to process your data in accordance with the legal framework conditions or withdraw your consent or have your data deleted. You can always travel anonymously, i.e. without collecting your personal data.
We offer you added value in the processing of your data.
Public transport companies use your data exclusively for the purpose of providing services and to offer you added value along the mobility chain (e.g. tailor-made offers and information, assistance or compensation in the event of disruption). Your data will therefore only be used for the development, provision, optimisation and evaluation of our services or for the maintenance of customer relations.
Your data is not sold.
Your data will only be disclosed to selected third parties listed in the Data Protection Notice and only for the purposes expressly stated. Where we entrust the processing of data to third parties, they must contractually undertake to comply with our standards based on data protection law.
We guarantee you security and protection for your data.
