GENERAL DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT

Protecting your personal data is a particular concern of ours. We therefore exclusively process your data on the basis of statutory regulations (in particular based on the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, the national Data Protection Act and the Telecommunications Act). We wish to inform you of the most important aspects of data processing on our website in this Data Privacy Statement.

When does this Data Privacy Statement apply?

Our Data Privacy Statement applies to anyone who makes use of one of our products or services, vists our websites or makes contact with us. We have drafted separate data privacy statements for special services, which specifically govern data processing and the associated data protection issues.

There are special data protection statements for the online distribution of tickets or for the Postbus shuttle.

We are also continually developing our performance, provision and services. As a result we also continuously adapt the data privacy statement. However, we shall ensure that the latest effective version is always available to you.

Facts worth knowing about online sales

In designing our service,

we have paid attention to the fact that data is only collected and processed to the extent that is absolutely necessary.

The following are essential in this context

  • First name, surname, gender and user name incl. password
  • Customers and User ID,
  • Indication of age
  • Contact details (e-mail address, telephone number),
  • Role of the person concerned
  • Consents given to the GTCs,
  • Ticket and voucher information incl. type of purchase as well as information on the booked trip incl. information on the travellers,
  • Device information and IP address (when logging on and logging off as well as changing the data provided),
  • Favorites,
  • Details of consents given
  • Payment-relevant data including booking status and billing information
  • Real-time information before, during and after the journey (in particular change of departure and arrival times, total loss, exit information),
  • Location information for the purpose of ticket booking or connection enquiry, if the functionality has been approved,
  • logging data
  • Information on a communicated concern of the person concerned, assessment by the person responsible and outcome of the proceedings, including any compensation amount / voucher.
  • validation data

Ticket sales by third parties via external booking platforms

We have extended our distribution channels for you. This means that you can now also find our connections on partner platforms and can, in part, also book your ticket directly on the platform of our partner. If the booking is made through a partner, we exchange only the schedule and ticket information with the partner that is required for the creation of the ticket. The respective partner is responsible for the protection of the data processed on the partner platform of the partner.

Use of payment information

By payment information we mean information that we require for processing the payment. We will never store any payment information, such as credit or debit card numbers, expiry date, the card validation code (CVC) or user account and password data. We will only store payment information to a limited extent, i.e.

  • if we cannot implement cancellation automatically but have to transfer the cancellation amount retrospectively (in this case we will store the name of the applicant, IBAN, BIC, name of the bank and the address (postcode, city, country, street and house number);
  • in case of a specific booking, we will store the payment method (PayPal) or card type (VISA, MasterCard, etc.) and the last 4 numbers.

In all other cases, payment information (e.g. expiry date or the card validation code (CVC)) will be processed and used by a tested and certified payment service provider (Terminal Service Provider and Payment Service Provider).

In order to handle the payment process, we employ tested and PCI-certified payment service providers who process and use the payment information (e.g. CVC code or expiry date) to complete the booking. Data will be processed only for the purposes of com-pleting payments on certified payment terminals (e.g. ticket machine, ticket desk, etc.) or at tickets.oebb.at or via the ÖBB app. These payment service providers are usually independent entities and therefore process your data in accordance with their own privacy policy.

In order to clearly authorise a payment, the payment service provider will require various pieces of information from us, such as e.g. identification data for browser and operating system type, which are saved by us and forwarded to the payment service provider for processing the payment.

The European Banking Authority (EBA), Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) prescribe strict authentication methods for combating online fraud. PSD2 aims at preventing online fraud with strict customer authentication rules applied to an increased number of transactions.

So-called Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is an obligatory part of PSD2 and ensures a high level of customer protection and increased payment security. SCA is there-fore required whenever you, the customer, start an electronic payment process or perform a transaction that poses a risk of fraud or other misconduct. In this case, you will be required to complete an identification process by providing a password and another identification factor as determined by the payment service provider. In certain exceptional cases, this authentication can be dispensed with. The decision to apply SCA or dispense with authentication rests with the payment service provider.

besondereWe are required to provide the payment service provider with the relevant data requested in order to secure your payment transaction (see in particular https://doc.wirecard.com/CreditCard.html#CreditCard_PSD2).

More information on this can also be found on the payment service provider’s own website (see, for example, https://www.wirecardbank.de/DSGVO or https://www.wirecardbank.de/datenschutzbestimmungen/).

For the purposes of payment risk management, as required in the specific case and as part of the purchase transaction, personal data may be transmitted in the absolutely necessary extent to the payment service provider, which then uses these data to conduct a risk assessment. Payment-related data will also be consulted for anonymised analyses.

WiFi on the bus

In order to use the WiFi and the onboard portal with all its functions, you as the user must agree to the conditions of use when you connect to the WiFi. The conditions of use also inform you of the use of cookies in the Vienna Airport Lines onboard portal. In the course of the use of the Vienna Airport Lines onboard portal, no personal data of the customer is collected or used by us.

Technical support to maintain functions on our website

When using our website tickets.postbus.at your ticket purchase data is stored in your web browser by means of HTML storage. This ensures that all functions can also be used if you choose to use our software without registering. We will only store personal data for quicker processing of future purchases if you wish us to do so.

Market and opinion research / customer surveys

UIn order to improve our products and services and adapt them to customer requirements, we conduct surveys with different target groups. We thereby commission market research companies or conduct the surveys ourselves. Persons to be surveyed can be selected either completely randomly or based on social statistics or usage-specific factors. Contact with participants can be implemented via the pools of respondents for market research companies ‒ carried out without our input at the sole responsibility of partner operators. Or we invite interested persons in general, without individually addressing participation in the survey. In case of specific survey topics we also address customers of ÖBB PV AG.

Establishing personal reference is not intended for any surveys. All surveys are conducted completely anonymously. This is true even if we write to you directly as customer or you have declared your consent in advance to participate in a survey

We only receive or compile an overall evaluation of data, which do not show individual interviews or persons.

If we address our customers directly, we will then exclusively contact people who have given consent thereto.

Should we conduct the survey in cooperation with a market research company in specific cases, we shall conclude a separate confidentiality agreement with said company in advance of a customer survey, laying down the secure handling of your data specifically for the individual case. In particular this Agreement shall ensure that the company will not transfer your data to other market research institutions and other third parties for surveys for their own purposes.

In any case you are not obliged to take part in any of our customer surveys.

Direct marketing

We use personal data to send you information, offers and recommendations from us or our cooperation partners. This, however, only if you give us your consent in advance that we may contact you by e-mail, telephone, SMS or other channels (e.g. by post) in order to inform you about interesting offers, new developments and services in a timely manner. Depending on the content of your consent, you will receive offers and other information about the Vienna Airport Lines, our Postbus Shuttle, information about other services, competitions and customer surveys as well as information about the ÖBB Group, i.e. other affiliated companies (e.g. information about travel offers from Rail Tours Touristik GmbH or about car sharing offers from Rail Equipment GmbH or ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG) and our other cooperation partners. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons. In this case, we will not send you any offers or information by e-mail or SMS, or contact you by telephone for this purpose. To do this, please click on the unsubscribe link in a newsletter, and we will then no longer send you electronic mail. It can take up to 24 hours for the activation of a revocation in the systems to be completed.

In all other cases, please contact our ÖBB Customer Service at the following email address: postbus.datenschutz@postbus.at

Before employing a processor, we conclude a written agreement with it, in which special obligations are imposed on the processor and its employees, and they again are subject to a separate confidentiality obligation. We impose certain data security measures on the processor to ensure that customer data and data processing are sufficiently protected.

Information on the scope and consequences of incomplete data provision
