Name and address of the controller

The controller within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation and other national data protection legislation of the Member States and other data protection law provisions is:

General information on data processing

We as <cargonerds> GmbH, and our affiliate enterprises respect your privacy. We are aware that you trust us to be responsible in our handling of the personal information you disclose to us. Our policy aims at comprehensive protection of your personal data. Please read on if you want to know more about our data protection policy.

This Privacy Statement regulates the collection, processing and utilisation (hereinafter all together referred to as “processing”) of your personal data, if and to the extent that this is disclosed in your use of our website and / or our booking app, or to the extent that you make contact with us in the course of preparing or implementing a contract or request information from us. In handling this data we strictly observe the applicable legal privacy regulations and the derived principles. We apply the principles of data processing in line with Article 5 GDPR. Your data will only be used for established purposes, will be restricted to the necessary extent, be up to date, only stored for the specific purpose of its collection and processed with appropriate security.

Scope of the processing of personal data

We collect and use personal data from our users in principle only to the extent that this is necessary to execute our contracts. After fulfilment of the contractual duties we process this data only after consent has been given. An exception is made in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent or if the processing of the data is permitted on the basis of statutory provisions.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain the consent of a data subject for processing procedures on personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the processing of personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract of which the data subject is a contracting party, Art. 6 (1) ( b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies for processing procedures required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If the processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation incumbent upon our company, then Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is needed to protect a justified interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the data subjects do not outweigh the former interests then Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject is deleted or frozen as soon as the purpose of the storage is removed. Data may also be stored if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU law regulations, statutes or other provisions by which the controller is bound. Freezing or deletion of data can also occur if a time limit for storage imposed by the above-mentioned provisions expires, unless there is a need for continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Data processing in conjunction with provision of transport and logistics services

The provision of transport and logistic services by <cargonerds> requires some processing of personal data. We may be required to process personal data even before conclusion of a contract (e.g. in the course of preparing an offer) and during performance of the contract.

Personal and business contact data (e.g. family name, first name, company, physical address, e-mail address, telephone number and/or fax number), whose processing is essential for performing our services, may include the following data categories. In the specific case however the processing of other categories of data may be necessary, these are for instance:

Dispatch and transport information

e.g.: dispatch-related contact data of freight forwarders and recipients, their physical addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, signature of the receipt confirmation, account details, and further information which facilitates us in the performance of our services. And information disclosed to us with regard to the goods to be transported, but only to the extent that this is data of a personal nature.

Information which enables us to verify a person’s identity.

Name, e-mail address and telephone number of a third person if we are asked to send this person information on transport or other services.

Payment information and financial data (e.g. account details)

tax information if you receive services which require the processing of taxation data.

Other personal data which is disclosed to us by you or third parties in the course of providing our services.

If you send personal data to <cargonerds>, please ensure that this data is relevant, accurate and necessary for the preparation and implementation of the business relationship. In particular if you send data which relates to a third person you are legally obliged to apply the principles of general data protection legislation.

If we collect freight, deliver goods or provide other services, we may process address information. Such information to localise an address in an individual case may in specific cases contain GPS data, geo-codes, lines of latitude/longitude and graphic representations/images.

Certain transport information is sent to authorities in transit or destination countries perhaps for reasons relating to customs or import law, or to carry out safety checks. This transmission depends on the legal provisions in the transit or destination country.

As a rule such data contain the following individual details, whereby individual cases may contain deviations for legal reasons: name and address of the sender, name and address of the recipient, description of the good transported, if applicable the number of items, the weight and value of the consignment.

In the individual case we send personal data to a country other than that in which the data was collected. Data is transferred primarily for the purpose of performing our services, for instance to other companies, agents acting in the name of <cargonerds> GmbH or other enterprises affiliated with us. Please note that <cargonerds> GmbH cooperates with a range of partners to be able to provide you with the best possible service (e.g. sub-contractors such as transport and logistics firms, ports, warehouses, etc.). This can also require the transmission of personal information within the framework of what is legal permissible. To the extent necessary, order data processing contracts will be concluded with third parties.

Please also note that for technical and legal reasons <cargonerds> GmbH is not able to provide our services to you if you object to some or all of this data processing and data transmission.

The countries to which we send data may have data protection laws which differ from the standards of the legal order under which you sent the data to us. If we send data to other countries data transmission is done in line with this Privacy Statement.

In the case that personal data is sent between legal systems whose level of protection differs from one another, we will be guided by the stricter legal provisions. We apply specific contracts for the protection of personal data (e.g. the sample contracts of the EU Commission for data transmission to third countries) and we collaborate regularly with our partners and contractors to jointly ensure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

Further information with regard to the data processed in the course of installation or use of our website or the <cargonerds> GmbH app can be found in the relevant section of this Privacy Statement.

Data protection in the case of job applications and in the application process

The processing controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants in order to carry out the application process. The processing can also be done electronically. This is the case in particular if an applicant submits application documents electronically, for instance by e-mail or through a web form on the Internet page, to the processing controller. If the processing controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data sent is stored for the purpose of settling the employment relationship observing the legal regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the processing controller, then the application documents are automatically deleted at the latest 6 months after the decision to turn the applicant down, provided such deletion is not prevented by any other justified interests of the processing controller. Another justified interest in this respect is, for instance, an evidential duty in proceedings under the German General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).

Third party access to your personal data

The collection, processing and utilization of personal data is done by us ourselves and – provided we have not expressly excluded this – also by other companies or by external service providers commissioned and under a contractual and legal obligation to protect the data. In both the latter cases we will ensure that group companies and external service providers comply with the applicable statutory data protection provisions and the obligations arising from this Privacy Statement. In so doing we are guided by the legal stipulations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation provided no more stringent legal regulations are applicable which take priority.

Beyond this no third party has access to your personal data. We will not sell this data or exploit it in any other way. We will only transmit data to responsible authorities upon official or statutory request and in the case of statutory transmission duties. This also applies in the case of a court order for transmission. In the case of an official, statutory or judicial duty we will check in each specific case whether transmission is in line with the principles of the GDPR and / or other applicable national law and, if applicable, initiate legal steps.

Security

We have taken technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, alteration, misappropriation or access by unauthorised third parties. Our IT systems are set up in such a way that <cargonerds> GmbH conforms to the requirements of Articles 32 et seq. of the European General Data Protection Regulation.

Deletion and freezing

We delete your personal data when the business purpose connected with the data is removed or the applicable statutory data protection rules require this. In the case of consent we will delete your data after revocation or removal of the reason for the consent (No. 2.).

At your request we will freeze your personal data partly or completely provided this does not violate an overriding legal interest of <cargonerds> GmbH in the data processing. In this respect please let us know to what extent and for how long the data should be frozen. To the extent technically possible, you can in this way exclude the processing and use of your data for certain areas.

Children and minors

We do not knowingly process any personal data relating to minors under 16 years of age if we are not legally obliged to do so. If we become aware that data has been transmitted to us outside such a statutory obligation without the consent of the parents or other legal guardians, we will delete this data immediately.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with any other personal data of the user.

Legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the websites to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this the IP address of the user must be stored for the duration of the session.

The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the websites. In addition we use the data to optimise the websites and ensure the security of our information systems. No evaluation of the data for marketing purposes is done in this connection. These purposes also represent our justified interest in the data processing in line with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected to provide the website this is the case when the relevant session is ended.

If the data is stored in log files this is the case at the latest after seven days. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised so that allocation to the accessing client is no longer possible.

Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for operation of the Internet page. Consequently there is no possibility of objection for the user.

BOOKING PORTAL

Description and Scope of Data Processing

On our booking portal we offer you – the users – the possibility of setting up a customer account and to initiate, conclude, process and manage via said account contracts against payment with <cargonerds>. In order to do so, your consent will be obtained and your attention drawn to this data protection declaration. The data will be entered by the user into an input mask, transmitted to us and stored. Any forwarding of these data shall be effected according to the conditions described under III. 4. of this data protection declaration. Access to third parties is possible according to the specifications described under III. 6 of this data protection declaration.

Upon registration the following contact data will be collected: e-mail address, first and last names, company name, company address, telephone number, fax number.

These will be entered by the user himself. Should thereafter a contract be concluded concerning the performance of transport and logistics services, Section III 4. of this data protection declaration shall apply.

An automatic decision-making process including profiling shall not take place in this context.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is, providing the user has granted his consent, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679). Should the registration serve the purpose of fulfilling a contract to which the user is a contractual party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR is an additional legal basis for the processing of the data.

Purpose of Data Processing

Registration is necessary for the viewing and usage of the booking portal. Data entered by the users will first and foremost be stored and processed for the technical administration of the booking portal, establishing contacts and dealing with customer enquiries. Beyond that, processing is undertaken for the compiling of statistics, needs-based advertising and purposes of quality assurance, process optimization and planning security.

Period of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the achievement of the purpose for which they had been collected. The customer account on the booking portal may be cancelled at any time by the user concerned. Until then the data will be stored without any temporal restrictions so that the user may be able to access them at any time (e.g. the order history).

the processing is illegal and you decline the deletion of the personal data and instead demand restriction of the use of the personal data;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
if you have lodged an objection to the processing in line with Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been established whether the justified grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.

If the processing of the personal data concerning you is restricted, this data may only be processed – apart from its storage – 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 person or on the grounds of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

If the processing is restricted under the above-mentioned preconditions you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to deletion

Duty to delete

You can demand from the controller that the personal data concerning you is deleted immediately and the controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following grounds applies:

The personal data concerning you is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

You revoke your consent upon which the processing is based in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, und there is no other legal basis for the processing.

You lodge a complaint to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding justified grounds for the processing, or you lodge an objection to the processing in line with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

The personal data concerning you was processed illegally.

The deletion of the personal data relating to you is necessary to fulfil a legal duty under EU law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and if he is obliged to delete it under Art. 17 (1) GDPR, then he shall take the measures which are appropriate with regard to the available technology and implementation costs, also of a technical nature, in order to inform the controller of the data processing that you as the data subject have demanded from them the deletion of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

Exceptions

There is no right to deletion if the processing is necessary to exercise the right of free expression and information;

to fulfil a legal obligation which requires the processing under EU law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject, or to complete a task which is in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority which was bestowed upon the controller;
for reasons of public interest in the field of public health under Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
for archiving purposes which are in the public interest, for academic or historic research purposes or for statistical purposes in line with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, to the extent that the right stated under section a) foreseeably makes it impossible or more difficult to achieve the goals of this processing, or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to be informed

If you have asserted against the controller the right of rectification, deletion or restriction of processing, this latter is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of this rectification or deletion of the data or restriction of the processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate efforts. You have the right against the controller to be informed of these recipients.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you provided to the controller in a structured, standard and machine readable format. In addition you have the right to send this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was sent, provided that

the processing is based upon consent in line with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or upon a contract in line with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and
the processing is done by way of automated means. In the exercise of this right you also have the right to effect that the relevant personal data is sent directly from one controller to another controller to the extent that this is technically possible. Rights and freedoms of other persons may not be affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply for the processing of personal data which is required for completion of a task which is in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority which was bestowed upon the controller.

Right of objection

You have the right, for reasons resulting from your particular situation, to lodge an objection at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you which is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies for profiling based on one of these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can prove essential grounds for the processing which are worthy of protection, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to lodge an objection to the processing of the personal data relating to you at any time for the purposes of this type of marketing; this also applies for the profiling, to the extent that this is connected to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, then the personal data concerning you shall no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the possibility in connection with the use of services of the information company – irrespective of Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right of objection by way of automated processes in which technical specifications are used.

The right to revoke the declaration of consent under data processing law

You have the right to revoke your consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing done on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.

Automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to decision-making based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – which takes legal effect over you or which considerably hinders you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision-making

is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller,
is permissible under legal provisions of the EU or of the Member States to which the controller is subject, and these legal provisions contain suitable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your justified interests or
is done with your explicit consent.

However these decisions must not be based on particular categories of personal data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR, if Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR does not apply and appropriate measures were taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your justified interests.

With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), all necessary measures are to be taken by the controllers to comply with your rights under the GDPR.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Regardless of any administrative law or judicial legal remedy to the contrary, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, your workplace or the place of suspected violation, if you are of the opinion that the processing of the personal data concerning you is in violation of the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint is lodged is to inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
