Purposes for which personal data is processed at flughafenexpress.deutschebahn.com
We collect and process your data only for specific purposes, which can be due to technical reasons, contractual requirements or explicit user requests.
1. Visit to the website
When you visit flughafenexpress.deutschebahn.com, certain data must be collected and saved for technical reasons (the date and the duration of your visit, the web pages used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used and the website from which you visit us).
Legal basis for data processing
If we ask for and receive your consent to perform processing operations on your personal data, your consent is considered, in accordance with point (a) of Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as the legal basis to perform such processing operations.
When personal data is processed that is required to fulfill a contract agreed with you, the legal basis, in accordance with point (b) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR, is the contract. Point (b) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR also applies to processing operations that are required to carry out precontractual measures, for example, in the case inquiries about our products or services.
If our company must process personal data to comply with legal obligations, for example, to fulfill tax obligations, the data is processed on the basis of point (c) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR.
3. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files in which personal data can be saved. When a page is accessed, cookies can be sent to this page to enable the user to be identified. Cookies make it easier for users to use web pages.

We want to give you the option of making an informed decision to accept or refuse the use of cookies that are not necessarily required for the website's technical functions. Please note that the advertising you receive will be less tailored to your interests if you refuse cookies that are used for advertising purposes.

6. Is data passed on?
Implementation of a contract normally requires the involvement of instruction-dependent data processors such as data center operators, printing or shipping service providers or other parties involved in fulfilling the contract.
External service providers that process data on our behalf are carefully selected by us and strictly bound by contract. The service providers work as instructed by us, which is ensured through strict contractual provisions, technical and organizational measures and additional checks.
Your data is otherwise transmitted only if you have given us your explicit consent or if this is required by law.
The data is not transferred to third-party states outside the EU/EEA or to an international organization unless adequate guarantees are in place. These include standard contractual clauses of the EU as well as adequacy decisions of the European Commission.
7. Updating with new functionalities
If functionalities or legal situations change, we shall adjust the data protection notice. For this reason, we recommend that you read the data protection notice at regular intervals. If your consent is required or if parts of the data protection notice contain provisions of the contractual relationship with you, these changes shall be made only with your approval.
