The operator of this app takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations, as well as with this privacy policy.
When you use this app, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use them. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that the transfer of data over the Internet (such as when communicating by email) may involve security risks. It is not possible to provide absolute protection against access by third parties.
Note on the data controller
The controller for data processing in this app is:
Verkehrsverbund Region Braunschweig GmbH
Frankfurter Strasse 2
38122 Braunschweig
Managing Directors:
Jörg Reincke and Ralf Sygusch
Phone: +49 (0)531-2 42 62 99
Email: datenschutz@vrb-online.de
The data controller is the individual or legal entity that, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means for the processing of personal data (such as names, email addresses and similar information).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing procedures can only be carried out with your express consent. You can revoke an already-granted consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this. The revocation does not affect the legality of data processing that occurred up to the time of revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases as well as to object to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1e,f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21[1] GDPR).
If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21[2] GDPR).
Right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process by automated means based on your consent, or to fulfil a contract, delivered to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to a different controller, this will only occur to the extent technically feasible.
Encryption during data transmission
Personal data transmitted when using the functionalities of this app, if applicable, will be transmitted in encrypted form, as far as possible.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, instead of deletion, you can request the restriction of data processing.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need these to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the processing of your personal data to be restricted instead of being deleted.
If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – with the exception of their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal entity or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal-notice obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby objected to. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as by spam emails.
