  1. Data Processing During Registered Use of Futurelimo Services and Booking Rides

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

  • Personal master data (form of address, title, first name, last name, company, address, zip code, place, country, password);
  • Contact data (e.g. telephone number, cellphone number, e-mail address);
  • Contract data (e.g. time and manner of registration, status)
  • Ride-related data (e.g. pickup location, destination, times, flight number, special requests).
  • Status (e.g. bonus program), customer history (e.g. previous rides);
  • Contract invoicing (e.g. invoices, status, invoicing address) and payment data (e.g. last 4 digits of the credit card number).

The customer data will be used for Futurelimo services, i.e. for the personalized fulfillment of the framework agreement after registration (creation, storage, administration and support of your Futurelimo 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. Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo, 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 9).

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. Futurelimo 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 suitaFLe 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 Futurelimo e.g. in the Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo 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, Futurelimo processes customer data in order to analyse the use of the Futurelimo Services, to design and improve them in a demand-oriented and personalised manner, to advertise the Futurelimo Services, to detect, limit and eliminate malfunctions and proFLems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal use of the Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo). Data will not be passed on to recipients in this respect unless to Futurelimo’s data processors (see Art. 28 GDPR) or as far as otherwise permitted by law.

  1. Payment & Fraud Prevention

9.1 Payment

All Futurelimo 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 applicaFLe 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).

Futurelimo 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 (Futurelimo’s legitimate interest).

Card payments are provided by the payment service provider Stripe. The privacy policy for the use of the Stripe service can be found at: https://stripe.com/ae/privacy

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

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

In the course of the authentication of the cardholder, it may also be necessary for individual transactions that Futurelimo requires a copy of an additional identification document (e.g. identity card, passport, drivers’ licence) or a copy of the credit card. Futurelimo will ask you to FL 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).

  1. Communication with Futurelimo

If you contact Futurelimo (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 Futurelimo – pseudonymised or anonymised if possiFLe – to design and improve Futurelimo services according to your needs, to identify and eliminate malfunctions and proFLems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal use of Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo).

Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo). 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 puFLicly availaFLe 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.

Futurelimo also offers customers different feedback channels, also via external platforms. Such customer feedback is also used to process your request and also – if possiFLe pseudonymized or anonymized – to design and improve Futurelimo Services according to your needs, to recognize and eliminate malfunctions and proFLems of a technical or process-related nature and to prevent illegal use of Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo). 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.

  1. E-mail Advertising, Newsletter

If you have agreed to receiving advertising or if Futurelimo 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 Futurelimo to inform you regarding current offers and to draw attention to features of Futurelimo 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, Futurelimo 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 (Futurelimo’s legitimate interest) in conjunction with Section 7 Paragraph 3 of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG).

Futurelimo 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 chargeaFLe booking, to directly advertise its own, similar products or services. If you do not wish to receive advertising from Futurelimo 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).

  1. Involvement of Data Processors by Futurelimo

As far as Futurelimo involves third parties in its data processing, e.g. technical service providers or other Futurelimo subsidiaries, this is always done on behalf of Futurelimo and only if these processors offer sufficient guarantees that suitaFLe 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 estaFLished 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).

13 Rights of Data Subjects

If your personal data is processed by Futurelimo, you are the data subject (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR). As the data subject, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data affecting you:

13.1 Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)

13.4 Right to the restriction of data processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

The data subject has the right to demand from the controller the restriction of processing when one of the conditions mentioned in Art. 18 GDPR applies, namely the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject or the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data.

13.5 Right to objection (Art. 21 GDPR)

Insofar as the data processing is based on a legitimate interest from our side (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR) or is direct advertising, the data subject has at any time the right to lodge an objection to the processing of personal data affecting them for the reasons mentioned in Art. 21 GDPR. The controller will then no longer process the personal data, unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing serves for the estaFLishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

  1. Automated decisions

In the case of Futurelimo, you are only subject to an automated decision process (see Art. 22 GDPR) in exceptional cases if you re-enter a payment method via which a payment has already previously failed or when current indications justify the suspicion that it is a fraudulent booking. In these cases, your request to book a ride with Futurelimo will be refused. Such an automatic decision is required to conclude the contract (Art. 22 Paragraph 2 lit a GDPR). The data subject has the option of contacting us using the mentioned contact data (see section 2) in order to have an explanation or an intervention by a person or to express their point of view.

  1. Data Erasure and Storage Duration

We will erase your personal data as soon as the legal basis for its processing lapses. However, legal bases may also exist in parallel or a new one may intervene with the lapsing of a legal basis, such as for example the duty to store determined data to fulfill a legal retention oFLigation (e.g. according to commercial or tax law).

  1. Amendment or Update of this Privacy Policy

Futurelimo 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.
