Purposes for which personal data is to be processed

The use of the Hafas Fleet App by rail replacement transport contractors enables actual data to be determined on the basis of geo-coordinates and entry and exit reports. In addition, the position of the vehicles involved in the rail replacement service (hereinafter “RRS”) is transmitted electronically and used for the following purposes:

1. Real-time calculation of RRS journeys

2. Operational control based on the actual situation of RRS operations (e.g. scheduling of RRS operations)

3. Delivery of actual information to the timetable information systems and to RRS clients

4. Anonymous analysis and reporting for quality management purposes

5. Exchange of information between RRS drivers and dispatchers for operational control (e.g. notification that a stop is to be approached differently)

6. Signalling a callback request to the app user (currently inactive)

The first time you open the application on your device, the Android permissions “Location”, “Phone” and “Notifications” must be checked. The app cannot be used without these permissions. This does not constitute consent within the meaning of Art. 7 GDPR.
