5. Provision of the websites

When visiting Blacklane websites for information purposes, i.e. even without your registration, data is automatically collected regarding the usage through your browser (hereinafter “surf data”). This includes your IP address, the status code, the Blacklane websites visited, date and time of the server request, browser type and browser version, referrer (website visited beforehand), files transferred and data volume. The surf data is stored by Blacklane in so-called log files. If you visit Blacklane websites without having a Blacklane account, we will not know who you are.

We inform you about the cookies and analysis services used by Blacklane in section 6. Otherwise, your surf data will not be provided to third parties. The processing of surf data is mainly carried out to establish and maintain the technical connection when surfing the internet. This data is also used by Blacklane in a pseudonymized or anonymized form in order to analyze the use of our websites, to design and improve the Blacklane services to meet demand, to recognize and eliminate technical or process-related disruptions and problems and to prevent illegal use of the Blacklane services (e.g. fraudulent booking, cyberattacks).

Stored log files are erased or anonymized, provided they are no longer required to ensure the general functionality of Blacklane services. Blacklane retains the log files only insofar as you have consented to this or if there are legal retention obligations.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data when providing websites is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit f GDPR (Blacklane’s legitimate interest). Insofar you are a Blacklane user or customer, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract performance, see otherwise below number 9.). If you have consented to an extended usage of your surf data, the legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR (your consent). You can revoke your consent at any time.

As part of your use of Blacklane Services, Blacklane sets the cookies that are necessary for Blacklane to provide a feature you request (e.g., language, login status, cookie consent). Blacklane also uses, where you have consented, its own and third party cookies to analyze and improve the use of the Blacklane Services, to improve and personalize functionality to you, to detect and correct malfunctions and problems of a technical or process nature, to prevent unlawful use of the Blacklane Services (e.g. fraudulent booking, cyber-attacks) and for marketing purposes.

Additionally, you can prevent the storage of cookies and delete existing cookies at any time in the settings of your browser. However, this may lead to the fact that individual functions of the Blacklane Services are not or only partially available. The storage period varies per cookie and can be viewed in your browser in our Cookie Policy.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data when using cookies, pixels and similar procedures are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a (your consent) and lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interest of Blacklane in case of necessary cookies in connection with § 25 TTDSG).

7. Special Features for the Blacklane Apps

Blacklane’s apps are another access point to Blacklane services. Similar processing of personal data is generally carried out via the Blacklane apps as via the Blacklane websites (see number 5 above) or in the case of registered use of the Blacklane Services (see number 9).

When using the Blacklane apps, Blacklane may also access additional data in relation to the app or to your end device, such as e.g. the device name, device manufacturer, model, operating system, app or SDK version, mode.

There are also push notifications in the Blacklane apps, i.e. notifications provided by Blacklane in the app of your end device. You will only receive push notifications if you have given your consent to this on your end device. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit a GDPR (your consent).

__If you actively choose to log in via Facebook, you consent to Blacklane processing, in a personalized form, the data transmitted by Facebook to identify you in connection with your account. This consent may be revoked at any time without any additional costs and with effect for the future. __

You also have the option at any time to adjust the usage of Facebook Connect and log in to your Blacklane account in another manner.

The legal basis for processing personal data when using Google Customer Match is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (your consent).

We will inform you about cookies and similar procedures of Google, which are used by Blacklane, in our Cookie Policy.

9. Data Processing During Registered Use of Blacklane Services and Booking Rides

Blacklane processes the following personal data provided by you when you register and use Blacklane Services or when you book rides (hereinafter “customer data”).

  • Personal master data (form of address, title, first name, last name, company, address, zip code, place, country, password);
  • Contact data (e.g. telephone number, cellphone number, e-mail address);
  • Contract data (e.g. time and manner of registration, status)
  • Ride-related data (e.g. pickup location, destination, times, flight number, special requests).
  • Status (e.g. bonus program), customer history (e.g. previous rides);
  • Contract invoicing (e.g. invoices, status, invoicing address) and payment data (e.g. last 4 digits of the credit card number).

The customer data will be used for Blacklane services, i.e. for the personalized fulfillment of the framework agreement after registration (creation, storage, administration and support of your Blacklane account), for the procurement of booked rides and for the fulfillment of the contract of carriage for the benefit of the customer with the limousine service provider. Blacklane provides customer data to third parties, if necessary, in particular to the limousine service providers so that the customer can be transported in accordance with their booking and the transport can be processed. If the customer has indicated a bonus program supported by Blacklane, the data required in this regard is transmitted to the bonus program provider. The payment data collected is stored via a payment service provider and transferred to the intermediary financial service provider or bank (see Point 10).

Personal data can be transmitted to limousine service providers in a third-party country outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area in which the transport is intended to take place. Blacklane cannot generally provide further information on the data protection level in the third-party country. An adequacy decision (see Art. 45 Paragraph 3 GDPR) or suitable guarantees (see Art. 46 GDPR) are not required for the transmission since the transmission is required for the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or to carry out pre-contractual measures upon request from the data subject (Art. 49 Paragraph 1 lit b GDPR) or because the transmission is required to enter into or to perform a contract concluded in the interest of the data subject by the controller with another natural or legal person (Art. 49 Paragraph 1 lit c GDPR).

Customers have the possibility to rate a ride arranged by Blacklane e.g. in the Blacklane App. Ratings are stored in the customer's profile and can be communicated to the respective driving service or provider or chauffeur in anonymised form. The customer can view his own reviews, other customers will not see these reviews. The purpose of the data processing within the evaluation system is the handling of the trip or the payment towards the driver or the dispatcher as well as the analysis and improvement of the Blacklane Services, e.g. to monitor the proper execution of trips, to increase the quality and to prevent or combat illegal use. Ratings are usually not stored for more than 2 years and then deleted or anonymised.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data during the registered use of Blacklane Services and during the booking of trips is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract performance). If the data subject provides additional, voluntary information (e.g. flight number, frequent flyer programme, special requests, rating), the legal basis is their consent according to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit a GDPR and our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR.

In addition, Blacklane processes customer data in order to analyse the use of the Blacklane Services, to design and improve them in a demand-oriented and personalised manner, to advertise the Blacklane Services, to detect, limit and eliminate malfunctions and problems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal use of the Blacklane Services (e.g. fraudulent booking, cyberattacks). In this respect, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest of Blacklane). Data will not be passed on to recipients in this respect unless to Blacklane's data processors (see Art. 28 GDPR) or as far as otherwise permitted by law.

10. Payment & Fraud Prevention

10.1 Payment

All Blacklane bookings can be paid by credit or debit card. The credit card information only has to be stored once upon the first booking and is protected against unauthorized access. For this purpose, a certified payment provider is used whose systems meet the applicable security standards, such as the PCI DSS standard (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). For recurring transactions, the card data is stored with our assigned PCI DSS-certified payment provider. In this respect, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of contract).

Blacklane itself does not store credit card data or only in abbreviated form for analysis purposes or to prevent fraud. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit f GDPR (Blacklane’s legitimate interest).

Card payments are provided by the payment service provider Braintree. The privacy policy for the use of the Braintree service can be found at: https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal.

Information on new security and verification procedures in connection with the so-called Payment Services Directive ("PSD2") can be found at our payment service provider Braintree (https://www.braintreepayments.com/de/legal).

In addition to card payment, you can pay for your bookings via PayPal in our mobile apps (Android / iOS). In this case, on the basis of Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR, personal data such as the e-mail address of your PayPal account and information about your mobile device (e.g. Device ID) will be transmitted by us to PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, for the purpose of fulfilling the contract. For more information on data processing by PayPal, please visit: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

10.2 Fraud Prevention

To ensure that a payment instrument is used by its rightful owner and to prevent fraud, IP addresses, e-mail addresses, payment data and card information may be transmitted to one or more external fraud prevention service providers. This transmission may also contain additional personal data. The external fraud prevention service providers process these personal data on behalf of Blacklane. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest of Blacklane).

Blacklane currently uses the service provider Ravelin (Ravelin Technology Ltd., 5th Floor, 174 - 180 Old Street, London, England, EC1V 9BP) for fraud prevention purposes. For more information about Ravelin's privacy practices, please visit https://www.ravelin.com/privacy-policy.

In the course of the authentication of the cardholder, it may also be necessary for individual transactions that Blacklane requires a copy of an additional identification document (e.g. identity card, passport, drivers’ licence) or a copy of the credit card. Blacklane will ask you to black out any data that is not required (e.g. the credit card number except the last four digits). In this respect, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfilment of contract), your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

11. Communication with Blacklane

If you contact Blacklane (e.g. by phone, contact form, feedback form, chat, messenger, e-mail or social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)), the data you provide will be processed to handle your request and to answer your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfilment of contract and initiation of contract).

Contact data is also used by Blacklane - pseudonymised or anonymised if possible - to design and improve Blacklane services according to your needs, to identify and eliminate malfunctions and problems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal use of Blacklane services (e.g. fraudulent booking, cyberattacks). In this respect, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR (legitimate interest of Blacklane).

Blacklane also uses external services and tools, e.g. messenger services or chat support tools, to communicate with the customer. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest of Blacklane). Agreements on commissioned data processing exist with the respective providers - where necessary.

In this context, we use Intercom as a communication medium, either by e-mail or by messages within our products. The Intercom Messenger apps and apps in inbox products can also give you access to other third-party applications such as Stripe. You should consult the privacy notices of these third parties for more information about how they use your personal information. As part of our service agreements, Intercom collects publicly available contact and social information about you, such as your email address, gender, company, job title, photos, website URLs, social networking sites and physical addresses, to improve your user experience. For more information about Intercom's privacy practices, please visit https://www.intercom.com/terms-and-policies#privacy.

Blacklane also offers customers different feedback channels, also via external platforms. Such customer feedback is also used to process your request and also - if possible pseudonymized or anonymized - to design and improve Blacklane Services according to your needs, to recognize and eliminate malfunctions and problems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal use of Blacklane Services (e.g. fraudulent booking, cyberattacks). The legal basis for the data processing is, if you have separately and explicitly agreed, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) and otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest of Blacklane). With the respective providers of feedback tools there are again - as far as necessary - agreements on commissioned data processing. The respective feedback tool may contain additional information about which data is collected and in which way data is processed.

12. E-mail Advertising, Newsletter

If you have agreed to receiving advertising or if Blacklane otherwise has the right, we will use your customer data to send you personalized advertising or general newsletters. The following data is mainly affected: Form of address, name, e-mail address. The purpose of the data processing is for Blacklane to inform you regarding current offers and to draw attention to features of Blacklane services.

E-mail advertising and newsletters may contain pixels. In this case, a graphic file is inserted into the e-mail sent in HTML format, based on which a statistical evaluation may be carried out. By using pixels, Blacklane can detect whether and when e-mails have been opened and links contained therein clicked. The legal base for the data processing is, insofar as you have separately and expressly consented, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit a GDPR (consent) and otherwise Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit f GDPR (Blacklane’s legitimate interest) in conjunction with Section 7 Paragraph 3 of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG).

Blacklane has the right, in context of legal permission according to Section 7 Paragraph 3 UWG, to use the e-mail address, which you have provided regarding a chargeable booking, to directly advertise its own, similar products or services. If you do not wish to receive advertising from Blacklane for similar products or services, you may at any time revoke the corresponding use of your e-mail address without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs in accordance with the base tariffs. To this end, you can use the unsubscribe link contained in any mail or you can write an e-mail to us using the above-mentioned e-mail addresses (see section 2).

13. Involvement of Data Processors by Blacklane

As far as Blacklane involves third parties in its data processing, e.g. technical service providers or other Blacklane subsidiaries, this is always done on behalf of Blacklane and only if these processors offer sufficient guarantees that suitable technical and organisational measures are carried out in such a way that the processing is in accordance with the data protection requirements, in particular Art. 28 GDPR, and guarantees the protection of the rights of the data subject. If processors are located in third countries, the data protection requirements for the transfer pursuant to Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are complied with in each case. As a rule, the appropriate guarantees in third countries are established by means of an adequacy decision (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR) or the agreement of standard contractual clauses (see Art. 46 para. 2 c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 93 para. 2 GDPR).

14 Rights of Data Subjects

If your personal data is processed by Blacklane, you are the data subject (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR). As the data subject, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data affecting you:

14.1 Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)

The data subject has the right to obtain a confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data is processed; if this is the case, they have a right of information about this personal data and further information on the data processing.

14.2 Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification or completion of inaccurate personal data.

14.3 Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)

The data subject has the right to demand from the controller the erasure of personal data without undue delay and the controller is obliged to erase personal data without undue delay, provided the data is no longer required, the data subject revokes their consent or lodges an objection to the processing, the personal data was processed unlawfully or there is otherwise a ground for erasure within the meaning of Art. 17 GDPR and the controller does not have the right to object to erasure.

14.4 Right to the restriction of data processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

The data subject has the right to demand from the controller the restriction of processing when one of the conditions mentioned in Art. 18 GDPR applies, namely the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject or the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data.

14.5 Right to objection (Art. 21 GDPR)

Insofar as the data processing is based on a legitimate interest from our side (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR) or is direct advertising, the data subject has at any time the right to lodge an objection to the processing of personal data affecting them for the reasons mentioned in Art. 21 GDPR. The controller will then no longer process the personal data, unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing serves for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

14.6 Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

The data subject has the right within the meaning of Art. 20 GDPR to receive the personal data, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided.

14.7 Right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77 GDPR)

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority according to Art. 77 GDPR.

14.8 Revocation of consent (Art. 7 para. 4 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on the consent of a data subject, the data subject has the right to revoke his or her consent at any time. You can do this by sending an e-mail to: dataprotection@blacklane.com. The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

15. Automated decisions

In the case of Blacklane, you are only subject to an automated decision process (see Art. 22 GDPR) in exceptional cases if you re-enter a payment method via which a payment has already previously failed or when current indications justify the suspicion that it is a fraudulent booking. In these cases, your request to book a ride with Blacklane will be refused. Such an automatic decision is required to conclude the contract (Art. 22 Paragraph 2 lit a GDPR). The data subject has the option of contacting us using the mentioned contact data (see section 2) in order to have an explanation or an intervention by a person or to express their point of view.

16. Data Erasure and Storage Duration

We will erase your personal data as soon as the legal basis for its processing lapses. However, legal bases may also exist in parallel or a new one may intervene with the lapsing of a legal basis, such as for example the duty to store determined data to fulfill a legal retention obligation (e.g. according to commercial or tax law).

17. Amendment or Update of this Privacy Policy

Blacklane reserves the right to update or amend this privacy policy at any time without giving reasons, as far as this should become necessary, e. g. due to developments in legislation, jurisdiction or regulatory actions or due to further technical developments.

Blacklane Cookie Policy

Blacklane uses cookies, pixels or similar technologies (e.g. by means of tags, web beacons or gifs). These are small files which are stored on your end device so that we can recognize you or collect information better when you use Blacklane websites or a Blacklane app.

Cookies may be distinguished according to their operating life between session cookies, which are deleted automatically after ending the browser session or permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual browser session and enable subsequent recognition of the end device. A distinction is also made between Blacklane’s own cookies and those of third parties.

You may prevent the storage of cookies at any time using your browser settings or delete any cookies present. However, this may mean that some functions of Blacklane services may not be available or available only to a limited extent. The storage duration is different depending on the cookie and can be inspected in your browser.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data when using cookies, pixels and similar technologies is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit a (consent) and lit f GDPR (Blacklane’s legitimate interest).

In the context of your visit, Blacklane will set the required cookies, which are technically necessary, to improve functionality or make the use of Blacklane services more user-friendly. This concerns, for example,

  • Your identification and authentication,
  • Storage and user preferences and settings (e.g. language settings), which you have made,
  • the inclusion of information already provided so that repeated input of information is not necessary,
  • security-related cookies or
  • cookies for using multimedia players

Blacklane also uses its own cookies in order to analyze and improve the usage of Blacklane services, to detect and remedy interruptions and problems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal usage of Blacklane services (e.g. fraudulent booking, cyberattacks). Evaluations by Blacklane take place in pseudonymized or anonymized form as far as is possible.

Additionally, Blacklane uses its own cookies, pixels or similar technologies or those originating from advertising partners (e.g. search engine providers, advertising networks or distribution partners) in order to improve Blacklane services or to measure, evaluate, design and improve advertising measures. Blacklane uses different analysis tools in this regard. In this respect, an evaluation by Blacklane takes place in pseudonymized or anonymized form as far as is possible.

The following cookies, pixels and similar technologies may be used in the context of Blacklane’s services:

Adjust

Blacklane uses the provider Adjust GmbH, Saarbrücker Str. 37A, 10405 Berlin, Germany (“Adjust”).

Adjust provides mobile analytics and attribution services for app providers. As part of these services, Adjust may collect, process and use certain data from the users of these apps (jointly the “end user” or “you”) and at Blacklane’s instruction.

The Adjust SDK and APIs (jointly the “Adjust technology”) may collect and use some of the following data from you as the end user:

  • Hashed IP address mobile identifiers such as the advertising ID for iOS (IDFA),
  • Google Advertising ID or similar mobile identifiers,
  • Installation and initial opening of an app on your mobile device,
  • Your interaction within an app (e.g. in-app purchases, registration),
  • Information on which adverts you have viewed or clicked.

Adjust uses the collected data to provide mobile analytics and attribution services for their customers and thereby enables Blacklane to track its marketing performance to compare them with their campaigns and to understand how you use the Blacklane app. Adjust also enables Blacklane to track your interactions in their apps in real time in order to see how you behave during your entire time using the app. The collected data is thus used to analyze the performance of marketing campaigns and to provide Blacklane with performance reports. Adjust does not combine the collected data with other data, which would allow Adjust to personally identify you.

You can find more information on Adjust Technology here: https://www.adjust.com/privacy-policy/

If you would like to opt out of the Adjust Technology tracking, please open the following page: https://www.adjust.com/opt-out/, please choose the device you would like to turn off and enter your device identifier. We will then immediately remove the behavior tracking from apps using our technology. If you have any questions regarding this opt-out, please send an e-mail to privacy@adjust.com or legal@adjust.com and Adjust will get back to you as soon as possible.

Adnxs (AppNexus)

If you would not like to participate in tracking, you may block its usage by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
