This storage takes place on the legal basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, provided that no further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data is completely or partially excluded from deletion until the final clarification of an incident.

Cookies

a) Session cookies/session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, since the processing enables, for example, our website to be displayed in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to process data for contract initiation or contract execution.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, the processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player in this respect.

MyTransport.One or MyT.One application, value-based routing and route planning service

In order for the products to function correctly, certain data must be processed. In all products, contact and address details of the entered data are used, e.g. freight orders, Home Depot, etc., to resolve addresses into geolocations and to enable route and tour planning including optimization. The data is stored in a database and partially cached, i.e. temporarily stored, to increase the calculation speed and enable basic functionality. Further data that is sent to the backend includes the entered vehicle parameters, cost factors of the vehicle and driver, freight parameters, driving and rest times of the drivers.

In addition, when the app is used, the MyTransport.One or MyT.One application continuously sends a beacon, i.e. a message, to the backend with information about the current location of the smartphone and the time stamp. In addition, status changes to the transport orders and the tour are sent to the backend. This enables continuous planning, control and comparison of planned and actually occurring events, e.g. number of freight, shortfalls or excess quantities, stops not made, and other real arrival times and a display of historical tours or tours that have started or have been completed. Precise and estimated geolocations of the vehicles are also required for planning. The IDs of the users and smartphones are transmitted to enable traceability and assignment of events. The data is saved in a database and can be reloaded later by the user.
