Data security explanation (DSE)
Sale of tickets via MVVswipe (CheckIn-CheckOut system) of MVV GmbH

Status: October 2024

1. General Information

(1) MVV GmbH offers the function of a CheckIn-CheckOut system (hereinafter referred to as the InOut system or MVVswipe) in the MVV app. This is a smartphone-based sales system with automatic ex-post fare calculation. Using location information (GPS), the smartphone recognizes a check-in actively initiated by the customer, the route travelled on MVV via local public transport and the check-out initiated by the customer. The system then calculates the correct fare for the route traveled in the background based on this location data. If several journeys are made per day, the maximum applicable daily fare (depending on the zone and number of passengers) is charged. Depending on the number of journeys per day, the customer's previously created means of payment will be debited.

(2) MVV GmbH uses the IT service provider Mentz GmbH (hereinafter referred to as MENTZ), Grillparzerstraße 18, 81675 Munich, Germany, and the financial company LOGPAY Financial Services GmbH (hereinafter referred to as LOGPAY), Schwalbacher Straße 72, 65760 Eschborn, Germany, to process the e-payment service (e.g. InOut system). MENTZ is responsible for the technical operation of the software components. The infrastructure is located in certified data centers in Germany. As part of commissioned data processing, the service providers use software instances at the data center operator Amazon Web Services (AWS). These components are operated exclusively in the eu-central-1 region (Frankfurt am Main).

(3) The controller within the meaning of data protection law is MVV GmbH, represented by the management. It can be contacted by e-mail via info@mvv-muenchen.de or by post via MVV GmbH, Management, Thierschstraße 2, 80538 Munich. MVV GmbH has an external data protection officer. This can be contacted by e-mail via datenschutz@mvv-muenchen.de or by post via DSBOK, Data Protection Officer for MVV GmbH, Untergasse 2, 65474 Bischofsheim. If the deletion of the customer's personal data is desired, this must be requested by e-mail to datenloeschung@mvv-muenchen.de.

(4) The German version of the General Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy shall apply. In the event of a conflict between the German and English language versions, the German version shall take precedence.

 

2. Data required for the use of MVVswipe

(1) MVVswipe respectively the MVV app requires access to the following data and services in order to perform the function of the InOut system in accordance with Section 1, paragraph 2:

  • Location data (GPS): following express access permission by the customer, the InOut system accesses the location data (GPS) of the mobile device in order to be able to locate the customer's current location, stops, transfers and destinations as well as the itinerary and trip length.
  • Mobile Internet: The InOut system requires Internet access in order to exchange necessary information between the app and the background system (e.g. for the purpose of trip recognition and fare calculation).
  • Motion sensors (motion data): The InOut system draws on the end device's motion sensors to improve journey recognition. For example, it can distinguish whether the customer is on public transport or walking.
  • WLAN and Bluetooth: In order to increase the location accuracy for determining the billing-relevant stops during the customer's journey, the InOut system can process existing WLAN or Bluetooth signals. Bluetooth signals are generated by so-called Bluetooth beacons. This can significantly improve location determination in underground stops or vehicles, for example.

(2) The above-mentioned data is required by the InOut system in order to be able to correctly identify the public transport journey. No personal movement profiles are created. Recording of the journey only begins once check-in has been successfully completed. The MVV app does not need to be permanently open for recording. Recording ends when the customer successfully checks out. The system services mentioned above under paragraph (1) can be deactivated at any time outside of an active InOut journey via the settings of the mobile device, but must be reactivated before a new journey is started with MVVswipe. The customer will receive a corresponding system message. The customer explicitly consents to the InOut system or the MVV app accessing their personal data (see sections 3, 4 and 5), including the above-mentioned data (see section 2, paragraph 1) - also for the purpose of clarifying customer inquiries. Otherwise it will not be possible to use the InOut function.

11. Forwarding of data

(1) In the course of using the functions and processing the contract, it is usually necessary to involve processors. These include:

  • Technical service providers for the operation and maintenance of IT systems and server infrastructure, e.g. for the InOut system
  • Customer support
  • Payment service providers
  • Other parties involved in the fulfillment of the contract
  • External service providers for market research purposes (see section 7)
  • Authorities or other state institutions, insofar as MVV GmbH is legally obliged to do so

All processors and external service providers have been or will be carefully selected and are subject to strict data protection agreements. They are safeguarded by contractual regulations, technical and organizational measures and supplementary controls.

  • it is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract,
  • legal regulations must be complied with or
  • the customer has given MVV GmbH consent.

In addition, MVV GmbH transfers the customer's personal data to the technical service providers used by MVV GmbH, which support MVV GmbH in operation and maintenance and are based in the USA. The customer's personal data is stored exclusively on servers within the EU/EEA. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the customer's personal data may be transferred to the USA (e.g. in the case of support inquiries). To this end, MVV GmbH and the technical service providers it uses have taken suitable measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for the customer's personal data. In addition to the conclusion of the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses, this also includes the implementation of additional technical, organizational and contractual protective measures. The customer's other personal data is not transferred to countries outside the EEA.

If personal data is processed for the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR) or for the purposes of legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR), the customer may object to the processing of their personal data concerned at any time with effect for the future.
