3. Legal basis and purposes of data processing at passify

3.1 Downloading, installing and general use of the passify app

Purposes of the processing

In order to download and install our app from an app store (e.g. Google Play Store or Apple App Store), you must first register for a user account with the provider of the app store and conclude a corresponding user agreement with them. We have no influence on this; in particular, we are not a party to such a user agreement. When downloading and installing the app, the necessary information is transmitted to the respective app store, in particular your user name, your email address and the customer number of your account, the time of the download and the individual device identification number. We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We only process the data provided to the extent that this is necessary for downloading and installing the app on your mobile device (e.g. smartphone, tablet).

As a registered and verified user, you can gain access to logistics locations (e.g. terminals) via digital mechanisms if you have the appropriate authorization (e.g. a transport order), drive on the premises and, if necessary, perform other actions before or after access (e.g. slot booking).

Legal basis for the above processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR

The processing of the data is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (provision and use of the app).

3.2 Setting up a passify account

Purposes of the processing

In order to obtain the status of a registered and verified user and thus have the possibility to use passify's services, including (and possibly) those of operators of logistics locations (e.g. terminals), the creation of a passify account in the App is required ("Registration").

Surname, first name, e-mail address and telephone number are mandatory for registration. The data is stored in the user account. You will also be asked for the haulage company you work for, whereby you can select "no details" here.

Registration with the above-mentioned data already gives you limited access to the passify app's functionalities and allows you to get an impression of the "look and feel".

When you register, we check whether there are already registrations with the registration information provided (e-mail address and telephone number).

Legal basis for the above processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR

The processing of the data is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (provision and use of the app) and enables users to obtain a limited overview of the app. Furthermore, we ensure that multiple registrations of users are avoided.

3.3 Verification of identity upon registration

Purposes of the processing

1. In order to be able to use the essential functionalities (e.g. driving to the logistics locations) of the passify app, we verify your identity within the passify app using an app identification procedure of the external service provider IDnow. For this purpose, (parts of) your master data, contract data (ID document and photo/selfie) as well as special data categories (biometric data) are processed in the app identification procedure due to the comparison of photos/selfies with the person. We use a multi-stage procedure consisting of a check of the person and a check of the identification documents.

2. The external service provider IDnow verifies and processes the biometric information. The service is only integrated into the passify app. Passify itself does not store, process or receive biometric data at any time.

3. Verification procedure:

4. In order to be able to use the main functionalities of passify, you will be asked to verify your identity in the app.

5. Verification is started via a button in the 'Verify ID' app, which takes you to the verification environment of the service provider IDnow; by clicking on the 'Verify ID' button, you give your voluntary consent for your personal data to be processed for the purpose of validating your identity. (Note: You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In the event of revocation, the app can no longer be used to its full extent).

6. Before starting the verification process, you have the opportunity to view IDnow's terms of service (https://go.idnow.de/terms/de) and privacy policy (https://go.idnow.de/privacy/de).

In order to proceed with the verification, please confirm that you agree to IDnow's terms of service and have read IDnow's privacy policy by checking the box.

If not already done, the authorization to access the camera is then requested via a pop-up; the authorization is mandatory for verification.

The verification process then starts.

A photo/selfie must be taken within the app as part of the person check. In the so-called 'liveness' check - which may be used - a short video is created in which, for example, you move your head back and forth slightly to show that you are actually in front of the end device. In both cases, the verification of ID documents includes checking security features (e.g. holograms) in order to rule out the possibility of forged documents being used. Successful verification is only possible with a valid, non-expired ID document.

To ensure that you only use a validated passify account, we check our user database after successful verification as part of the registration process to see whether a user account already exists for the registration information (consisting of parts of the master, communication and contract data). Furthermore, we compare the name and first name given during initial registration with the information on the ID document to check whether the information matches (high match required).

After successful verification, relevant data (surname, first name, date of birth, issuing authority) is stored in the passify user account. If necessary, the surname and first name are automatically adjusted according to the information provided on the ID document.

The data processed for verification (surname, first name, date of birth, ID number, type of ID document, issuing authority, period of validity of the ID document), the copy of your ID and your selfie are generally deleted by the external service provider after verification has been completed, but after 30 days at the latest. Passify itself does not store a copy of your ID, your selfie or biometric data at any time.

Note: A verification is valid for one year. At the latest after expiry of the validity period, but if necessary also randomly and randomly earlier, passify carries out re-verifications with the help of the app identification procedure of the external service provider in order to guarantee and additionally increase the security of the system, up-to-dateness, correctness and protection of the data.

Legal basis of the above processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a), 7 GDPR

Processing takes place on the basis of your voluntary consent. We compare the registration information with the existing user data in order to optimize the customer database, prevent abusive multiple registrations and thus increase security for the operators of the logistics locations and the users.

3.4 Validation of identity when using the app

Purposes of the processing

Access to the passify app after registration includes password protection or the use of authentication methods of your end devices ('Face ID' or other individual features using information stored on the end device). In order to be able to use certain functions in the passify app (e.g. terminal access, hereinafter referred to as 'Gate Access'), successful authentication of this type is mandatory. For this purpose, passify uses the service provided by your device. At no time, however, are features or data of the authentication methods processed by passify itself, stored by passify or transmitted to passify. Passify only receives the information whether the authentication was successful or not.

Authorization is required to enable authentication. The authorization can be managed in the authorization settings of the app. Further information on this can be found under 'Requested authorizations'.

Legal basis of the above processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b), 32 GDPR

The processing of the data is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (provision and use of the app) in order to protect critical infrastructures from criminal acts and to increase security for the operators of logistics locations (e.g. terminals) and users.

3.5 Gate Access / Check-in

Purposes of the processing

If the authorization is available (e.g. pick-up order for a specific terminal) and provided that the identity is validated, the Gate Access function can be used. It is important for Gate Access that the current license plate number is stored. This is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, as it allows a comparison to be made as to whether the driver is in the correct lane, the license plate number matches the order data transmitted to passify by the terminal operator and thus an assignment of vehicle and order can be made.

Furthermore, when the gate access function is triggered, the current location of the terminal device is checked to ensure that the terminal device, and therefore the authorized driver, is in the immediate vicinity of the logistics location. This ensures fast and efficient handling and increases security by preventing the gate from being opened remotely.

To compare the information in the operating system of the operator of the logistics location (e.g. terminal), the anonymized trucker ID and the previously communicated vehicle license plate number are transmitted to the operator of the logistics location (e.g. terminal). The entry and exit times are stored at passify for logging entries and exits. The assignment of trucker ID and license plate number is deleted after 12 hours.

During the stay at the logistics site (checked-in status), the location is determined and saved every 5 minutes in order to increase security on the site and prevent access to prohibited areas.

Note: To be able to access a logistics location at all, the access instructions for the respective logistics location (individual for each logistics location and provided by the operator) must be accepted in the passify app by pressing a button. Acceptance of the access instructions must be repeated at regular intervals (validity of acceptance) or after an adjustment has been made according to the operator's individual specifications and is documented in the system. As soon as the driving instructions are accepted and as long as this is valid, your trucker ID as well as your surname and first name will be listed in the "Driver list" of the respective terminal.

Legal basis for the above processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR

The legitimate interest in processing the data of us and the operators of logistics locations is to increase security for the operators of logistics locations (e.g. terminals) and to protect possible critical infrastructures from criminal acts.

3.6 (Temporary) blocking of user accounts

Purposes of the processing

In the event of a violation of applicable law or the terms and conditions of the operators of logistics locations or disregard of access instructions (e.g. of the terminals), reasons for this can be stored, which are associated with a (temporary) blocking of access or restriction of use of the app.

The entry is made in a free text field by the operator of the logistics location (e.g. terminal) and can only be viewed by the operator. Passify itself has no access to the encrypted information.

Legal basis for the above processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR

The legitimate interest in the storage of violations that lead to the (temporary) blocking of user accounts is justified by the right of the operators of the logistics locations to take measures for building and plant security, measures for business management and measures to prevent criminal offenses.

3.7 Technical data

When you access our app, we process data that your device sends to enable you to use the app. This is a technically necessary process during which data is transmitted. In the event of malfunctions, the data is used to analyze and rectify errors in order to optimize the app. The data (database ID and version of the operating system) is stored for a limited period of time in so-called protocols or log files until the data is completely anonymized. In the case of anonymization, the data is changed in such a way that information relating to identified or identifiable persons can no longer be assigned to a person or only with a disproportionate amount of time, cost and manpower.

Legal basis for the above processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR

The processing of the data is necessary for the performance of the contract (provision and use of the app) in order to keep our app available (i.e. stable and secure), to optimize it, to develop it further and thus to offer our customers the best possible services and to increase customer satisfaction.

4. Requested authorizations

For some functions, the app must be able to access certain services and data on your mobile device. Below we explain which authorizations the app may request and for which type of functions these authorizations are required for the different operating systems.

You can regularly manage the permissions via your operating system, i.e. view, activate and deactivate them. To do this, you can open the 'Settings' application in iOS. In the following menu, you will find an overview of all apps installed on your device. Select the passify app there and manage your permissions. In Android, you can also open the 'Settings' application and select the 'Apps' menu item. In the following menu, you will find an overview of all apps installed on your device. Select the passify app there and manage your permissions. The names may differ slightly depending on the iOS or Android version you are using.

Please note that deactivating/denying certain authorizations can lead to functional restrictions in the passify app.

Location

When you open the app for the first time, you will be asked via a pop-up whether the app may access the location of your device - either once or when you use the app. If you agree to this, the app can determine your exact location using various technologies (GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi). If you have only given your consent once, you will be asked for authorization again when you activate certain functions. In general, the location is only retrieved when certain functions are activated and is never determined continuously. During an active visit to a logistics location (e.g. terminal), your location is automatically determined and saved every 5 minutes.

• Camera access

  When you open the app for the first time, you will be asked via a pop-up whether the app is allowed to use your device's camera. In order to enable the use of essential functions of the app (e.g. gate access), we require authorization to access the camera for some functions. Access is necessary, for example, to take photos to validate your passify account or to authenticate yourself for certain functionalities (e.g. Gate Access). The camera is also required to scan QR codes at the check-in stations at the logistics sites in order to verify the actual position and the existence of an order. If the authorization is not granted when the app is opened for the first time, the query is asked again when certain functions are triggered.

• "Face ID" or other authentication methods

  When you open the app for the first time, you will be asked via a pop-up whether the passify app is allowed to use the Face ID function (when using devices with the iOS operating system) or similar authentication methods on your device. To enable the use of essential functions of the app (e.g. Gate Access), the corresponding service must be set up on the end device and authorization must be granted. If authorization is not granted when the app is opened for the first time, you will be asked again when certain functions are triggered.

• Messages

  When you open the app for the first time, you will be asked via a pop-up whether the passify app can send you messages.
