      2. In the event of a breakdown report, data is forwarded to MAN Service and Support GmbH (Mobile24).
      3. When using the parking space search function (TruckParkingEurope), data is transferred to LOGPAY Transport Services GmbH.
  6. Transmitting the data to third parties
    Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary in order for us to provide our services or if you have given your consent.
  7. Contract data processing
    For the collaboration with cooperation partners required in order to provide the app and use the functions, we have concluded corresponding data processing contracts.
  8. Transfer to third countries
    Usage data which is collected when the app is in use is processed on the Solera platform of Audatex Schweiz GmbH for the purposes of preparation for the app and, if applicable, forwarding to RIO and/or Mobile24.
    An adequacy decision has been made by the Commission (Switzerland).
  9. Data storage time limits
    Your personal data will be deleted if the data is no longer required to be stored in order to fulfil the intended purpose, provided this does not contradict any legal retention obligations, or if the storage of such data is not permitted for any other legal reasons.
    Personal data is automatically erased after 12 months of inactivity (non-use of the Driver App).
  10. You have the following rights:
    • In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you can obtain information from the data controller in relation to the personal data concerning you that is being processed (e.g. the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data involved, the categories of recipient or the planned storage period).

  14. App-specific data protection information
    • App’s access to device functions
      The device’s camera/photo function is accessed in order to record damage to the vehicle, to identify barcodes (VIN) and to identify switch symbols, etc. for the quick guide function.
      The device’s telephone/SMS function is accessed when contact is established with Mobile24.
      The device’s GPS function is accessed in order to establish the location when sending your location to
      • Mobile24 for use of the breakdown service
      • LOGPAY for use of the parking space search
      • Google for use of the ServiceFinder
      The device’s WiFi function is accessed when transmitting data (WiFi use if available).
      The device’s memory is only accessed for the purposes of temporary storage of the recorded data.
    • Data recording when registering as a user
      Within our app, we can provide functions which require you to register before you can use them. This involves us collecting your contact details where necessary. This personal data is only passed onto third parties provided this is required to perform the service or if you have explicitly agreed to it.
    • Data recording without registering as a user
      You can use our app without registering or providing personal information. In this case, alongside the location and device data required for use of the app functions, we will store only access data, such as the name of your Internet service provider, where applicable. The access data is data which is analysed in the form of usage profiles in order to improve the app. It does not provide any information about you personally.
    • Location determination (only via GPS)
      In conjunction with the use of certain functions, we will determine your current location via GPS so that we can quickly give you information about your immediate environment.
      You can deactivate the transmission of the GPS position on all conventional mobile devices (usually in the settings menu). Please understand that, in this case, not all of our app’s functionalities may be available.
    • Location determination (via GPS, GSM or WiFi hotspots)
      In conjunction with the use of certain functions, we will determine your current location so that we can quickly give you information about your immediate environment.
      You can deactivate the transmission of the GPS position or the signing in to WiFi hotspots on all conventional mobile devices (usually in the settings menu). Please understand that an imprecise location might be sent via the mobile phone network (GSM positioning) in this case, meaning that not all of our app’s functionalities may be available.
    • Data security in the app
      We take technical and organisational security precautions in order to protect your personal data against accidental or premeditated manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our data processing and security precautions are constantly improved in accordance with technological developments.
      All data transfers – between the app and our backend as well as to external interfaces – are encrypted (TLS 1.2).
    • Changing our data protection provisions
      We reserve the right to change our data protection and security precautions if this should become necessary due to technical developments. In such cases, we will adapt our data protection provisions accordingly and inform you appropriately and – if required – request your consent for this.
  15. Web analysis

    In order to constantly improve the user-friendliness and quality of the services that we offer and to adapt them to your needs, we use MixPanel and Pendo to analyse the use of our app. MixPanel and Pendo facilitate the evaluation of pseudonymised user behaviour (how often is a feature used, how much time is spent on it). In addition, we collect hardware and system data in order to be able to analyse possible faults in the app and, for example, to draw possible conclusions about the impact of the use of the app on driving behaviour.

  16. Surveys

    You have the opportunity to participate in product satisfaction surveys. The survey is anonymous and voluntary.
