Data Protection

DATA PROTECTION

  1. We are very pleased about your interest in our company. The protection of personal data is a particularly high priority for the management of the following provider of this website: Taxiteam Harburg. It is generally possible to use the Taxiteam Harburg website without providing personal data. However, if an individual wishes to use our specific services via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for this processing, we generally obtain the consent of the affected individual.
  2. The processing of personal data, such as name, address, email address, or telephone number of an affected individual, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the country-specific data protection regulations that apply to Taxiteam Harburg. With this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs the affected individuals about their rights.
  3. As the data controller, Taxiteam Harburg has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the maximum protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is free for any affected individual to transmit personal data to us through an alternative method, such as by phone.
  4. Definitions
    The privacy policy of Taxiteam Harburg is based on the terms used by the European legislator in the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.


We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

  1. Personal Data
    Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). A natural person is identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more specific characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
  2. Data Subject
    A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
  3. Processing
    Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation and use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
  4. Restriction of Processing
    Restriction of processing is marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
  5. Profiling
    Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data that involves using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, particularly aspects related to performance at work, economic situation, health, personal analysis, or prediction of preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements of that natural person.
  6. Pseudonymization
    Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  7. Controller
    The controller is the natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for their appointment may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

  9. Recipient
    The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation task under Union law or the law of the Member States are not considered recipients.
  10. Third Party
    A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that is not the data subject, the controller, the processor, or persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.

Cookies
The website of Taxiteam Harburg uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to assign the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Taxiteam Harburg can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

With the help of a cookie, information and offers on our website can be optimized in the sense of the user. As mentioned earlier, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login data every time they visit the website, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart through a cookie.

We also use cookies on our website that allow for the analysis of user browsing behavior.

The following data may be transmitted in this way:

Frequency of page views

Entered search terms

Use of website features

What personal data do we collect from you?

For reservations and inquiries, it is necessary to provide at least the full name, the place of residence, the email address, and the phone number of the person placing the order.

The payment details provided during payment, such as the name of the account holder or cardholder, as well as account numbers or card numbers, will be forwarded to the respective payment service provider or bank for payment processing.

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. For example, this may be data you enter into a contact form.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. As a result, the data can no longer be assigned to the accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.

When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes, and their consent for the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, this privacy policy is also referenced.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data through cookies for analysis purposes, provided that the user has given consent, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, any cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, some functions of our website may not be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information
The website of Taxiteam Harburg collects a range of general data and information every time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The data collected may include (1) the types and versions of the browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system comes to our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed through an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to protect against threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Taxiteam Harburg does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymized data and information are therefore evaluated statistically by Taxiteam Harburg with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

In addition, the following personal data is collected, provided that the explicit consent of the respective user is given and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations:

First and last name of the users

Email address of the users

Information about the place of residence (postal code, etc.)

The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offering.

You can also visit this website without providing personal information. However, to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). These access data include, for example, the file you requested or the name of your internet provider. The anonymization of the data means that no conclusions about your person can be drawn.

SSL Encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use modern encryption methods (e.g., SSL) over HTTPS.

Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of Taxiteam Harburg, users have the option to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller during the newsletter subscription is indicated in the input form used for this purpose.

Taxiteam Harburg regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company's offers via newsletter. The newsletter can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject has registered for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address first entered by the data subject for the newsletter subscription in a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that the owner of the email address has authorized the reception of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary to trace any potential misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later time and serves as legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected during the newsletter registration will only be used for sending our newsletter. Additionally, newsletter subscribers may be informed via email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, such as in the case of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected during the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to store personal data granted by the data subject for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link for revoking the consent can be found in each newsletter. It is also always possible to unsubscribe directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller in another way.

Some parts of our newsletter may contain promotional materials.

Newsletter-Tracking The newsletter from Taxiteam Harburg contains so-called tracking pixels. A web beacon is a miniature graphic embedded in HTML emails to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows for a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Through the embedded tracking pixel, Taxiteam Harburg can see if and when an email was opened by the affected person and which links in the email were clicked by the affected person.

The personal data collected through the tracking pixels in the newsletter is stored and evaluated by the controller to optimize the newsletter distribution and tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the affected person. This personal data will not be shared with third parties. Affected persons are always entitled to revoke the corresponding separate consent given in the Double-Opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter will be automatically interpreted by Taxiteam Harburg as a revocation.

Registration on our Website The affected person has the option to register on the controller's website by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller depends on the specific input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the affected person will be collected and stored solely for internal use by the controller and for their own purposes. The controller may transfer data to one or more processors, such as a package service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use related to the controller.

By registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the affected person's Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, will also be stored. This data is stored to prevent misuse of our services, and to enable the clarification of criminal offenses if necessary. Therefore, the storage of this data is required for the security of the controller. This data will not be shared with third parties unless required by law or if sharing serves criminal prosecution.

The registration of the affected person with voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller's purpose of offering content or services that can only be offered to registered users by their nature. Registered persons are free to modify or completely delete the personal data provided during registration at any time from the controller's database.

The controller will provide every affected person with information upon request about which personal data is stored about them. Furthermore, the controller will correct or delete personal data upon request or notice of the affected person, unless there are legal retention obligations. All employees of the controller are available as contacts in this regard.

Contact Option via the Website The Taxiteam Harburg website contains legally required information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and immediate communication with us, including a general electronic post address (email address). If an affected person contacts the controller via email or contact form, the personal data provided by the affected person is automatically stored. Such voluntarily provided personal data will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the affected person. This personal data will not be shared with third parties.

Comment Function on the Blog on the Website Taxiteam Harburg offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on specific blog posts on the controller's website. A blog is an online portal, usually publicly viewable, where one or more individuals, known as bloggers or web bloggers, post articles or thoughts in blog posts. Blog posts can generally be commented on by third parties.

If an affected person leaves a comment on the blog posted on this website, in addition to the comment left by the affected person, the time of comment submission and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the affected person will also be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the affected person's Internet Service Provider (ISP) will be logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in case the affected person violates third-party rights or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest, to defend against potential legal claims. This personal data will not be shared with third parties unless legally required or for

Subscribing to Comments on the Blog on the Website The comments posted in the Taxiteam Harburg blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commenter may subscribe to the comments following their own comment.

If an affected person decides to subscribe to comments, the controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify in the Double-Opt-in procedure whether the owner of the provided email address actually made the selection. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data The controller processes and stores personal data of the affected person only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as required by European directives and regulations or other applicable laws and regulations.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by European directives and regulations or another responsible legislator expires, the personal data will routinely be blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements. In any case, personal data will be deleted within a maximum period of 24 months.

Taxiteam Harburg wird die personenbezogenen Daten im Falle eines Widerspruchs nicht weiterverarbeiten, es sei denn, wir können zwingende schutzwürdige Gründe für die Verarbeitung nachweisen, die die Interessen, Rechte und Freiheiten der betroffenen Person überwiegen, oder die Verarbeitung dient der Geltendmachung, Ausübung oder Verteidigung von Rechtsansprüchen. Wenn Taxiteam Harburg personenbezogene Daten verarbeitet, um Direktwerbung durchzuführen, hat die betroffene Person das Recht, jederzeit Widerspruch gegen die Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten zum Zweck der solchen Werbung einzulegen. Dies gilt auch für das Profiling, soweit es mit solcher Direktwerbung verbunden ist.

  • **Automatisierte Entscheidungen im Einzelfall, einschließlich Profiling**

    Jede von der Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten betroffene Person hat das vom europäischen Gesetzgeber gewährte Recht, nicht einer Entscheidung unterworfen zu werden, die ausschließlich auf automatisierter Verarbeitung – einschließlich Profiling – beruht, die rechtliche Auswirkungen auf sie hat oder sie in ähnlicher Weise erheblich beeinträchtigt, es sei denn, die Entscheidung (1) ist für den Abschluss oder die Erfüllung eines Vertrags zwischen der betroffenen Person und dem Verantwortlichen erforderlich, oder (2) ist durch das Unionsrecht oder das Recht eines Mitgliedstaats, dem der Verantwortliche unterliegt, erlaubt und dieses Gesetz sieht geeignete Maßnahmen zum Schutz der Rechte und Freiheiten sowie der berechtigten Interessen der betroffenen Person vor, oder (3) erfolgt mit ausdrücklicher Einwilligung der betroffenen Person.

    The controller for the processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of conducting the application process. The processing may also occur electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents electronically to the controller, for example, via email or through a web form on the website. If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the notification of the rejection decision, unless the deletion conflicts with other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this context include, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

    1. Payment Method 1) PayPal: The data controller has integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via PayPal accounts, which represent virtual personal or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option to process virtual payments via credit cards in case a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no traditional account number. PayPal allows initiating online payments to third parties or receiving payments. PayPal also provides escrow functions and buyer protection services.

      The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl & Cie. SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

      If the data subject selects "PayPal" as the payment option during the order process in our online shop, the data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data necessary for payment processing.

      The personal data transmitted to PayPal typically includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, phone number, mobile phone number, or other data required for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary to process the purchase contract.

      The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The data controller transmits personal data to PayPal, especially if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the data controller may be passed on to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to verify identity and creditworthiness.

      The data subject has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time with PayPal. A withdrawal does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

      The applicable privacy policy of PayPal can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
    2. Klarna: The data controller has integrated Klarna components on this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchases on invoice or flexible installment payments. Klarna also offers other services such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks.

By selecting one of these payment options, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data necessary to process the invoice or installment payment or to verify identity and creditworthiness.

      The personal data transmitted to Klarna typically includes first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, phone number, mobile phone number, and other data required to process the invoice or installment payment. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary to process the purchase contract. Specifically, a mutual exchange of payment information such as bank details, card number, expiry date, and CVC code, quantity of items, item number, data related to goods and services, prices, and tax charges, as well as information about previous purchase behavior or other financial situation details may take place.

      The purpose of transmitting the data is especially for identity verification, payment management, and fraud prevention. The data controller transmits personal data to Klarna, especially if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Klarna and the controller is passed on to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to verify identity and creditworthiness.

      Klarna also shares personal data with affiliated companies (Klarna Group) as well as service providers or subcontractors to fulfill contractual obligations or to process data on their behalf.

      To decide on the establishment, implementation, or termination of a contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses data and information about the data subject’s previous payment behavior, as well as probability values regarding their future behavior (so-called scoring). The calculation of scoring is based on scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedures.

      The data subject has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time with Klarna. A withdrawal does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

      Google Ads This Website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

      As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad displayed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's computer by their web browser. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits specific pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

      Each Google Ads customer gets a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted into conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, no information is provided that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to the use of the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by disabling it in your web browser under the user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

      The storage of "conversion cookies" and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both their website and advertising. If explicit consent has been obtained (e.g., consent to store cookies), the processing will be based solely on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be withdrawn at any time.

      For more information on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

      You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

      Google Remarketing This website uses the remarketing feature of Google Inc. This feature is used to display interest-based advertisements to visitors of the website within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the visitor's browser, which enables the visitor to be recognized when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these sites, ads may be shown to the visitor that are related to content they previously viewed on websites using Google's remarketing feature.

      Google states that no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you do not want to participate in Google's remarketing feature, you can disable it by adjusting the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can object to the use of cookies for interest-based advertising by the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

      Legal Basis for Processing Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing where we have obtained consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as in processes required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or benefits, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing required for the performance of pre-contractual measures, e.g., inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, e.g., to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In exceptional cases, processing personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case if, for example, a visitor to our company is injured, and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information need to be shared with a doctor, hospital, or another third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Ultimately, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Processing that does not fall under any of the above legal bases is based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. We are authorized to carry out such processing, particularly because it is explicitly mentioned by the European legislator. In this context, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest should be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

      Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

      Duration of Storage of Personal Data The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the retention period expires, the relevant data will routinely be deleted unless they are required for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

      Provision of Personal Data as a Legal or Contractual Requirement; Necessity for the Conclusion of a Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision We explain that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual arrangements (e.g., details about the contractual partner). Occasionally, it may be necessary to provide personal data in order to conclude a contract, which will then be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, required to provide us with personal data when we enter into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the inability to conclude the contract with the data subject.

      No Automated Decision Making We refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
