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

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

The customer data will be used for World Tour services, i.e. for the personalized fulfillment of the framework agreement after registration (creation, storage, administration and support of your World Tour 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. World Tour 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 World Tour e.g. in the World Tour 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 World Tour 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 World Tour 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, World Tour processes customer data in order to analyze the use of the World Tour Services, to design and improve them in a demand-oriented and personalized manner, to advertise the World Tour Services, to detect, limit and eliminate malfunctions and problems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal use of the World Tour 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 World Tour). Data will not be passed on to recipients in this respect unless to World Tour’s data processors (see Art. 28 GDPR) or as far as otherwise permitted by law.

10. Payment & Fraud Prevention

10.1 Payment

All World Tour 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).

World Tour 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 (World Tour’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 World Tour. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest of World Tour).

World Tour 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 World Tour requires a copy of an additional identification document (e.g. identity card, passport, drivers’ licence) or a copy of the credit card. World Tour 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 World Tour

If you contact World Tour (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 World Tour – pseudonymised or anonymised if possible – to design and improve World Tour 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 World Tour 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 World Tour).

World Tour 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 World Tour). 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.

World Tour 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 World Tour 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 World Tour 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 World Tour). 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 World Tour 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 World Tour to inform you regarding current offers and to draw attention to features of World Tour 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, World Tour 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 (World Tour’s legitimate interest) in conjunction with Section 7 Paragraph 3 of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG).

World Tour 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 World Tour 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 World Tour

As far as World Tour involves third parties in its data processing, e.g. technical service providers or other World Tour subsidiaries, this is always done on behalf of World Tour 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).

17. Amendment or Update of this Privacy Policy

World Tour 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.

Google Ads (former Google AdWords Conversion Tracker)

Blacklane uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and as part of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

We use the Google AdWords service to bring attention to our services with the help of adverts (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. The cookie for conversion tracking is placed when a user clicks on an AdWords advert placed by Google. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer system. These cookies generally become invalid after 30 days and do not allow personal identification. If you visited a certain site and if the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that you have clicked on the advert and were taken to this site. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The collected information by use of the conversion cookie serves to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers find out the total number of users who have clicked on their advert and were taken to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information by means of which users can be personally identified. The data collected will be stored and processed in the USA.

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.
