DB Cargo Logistics is active in the field of logistics services, in particular transport, forwarding, freight and warehousing services. 

The processing of your data may become necessary in various contexts and is based in each case on different legal bases within the meaning of Article 6 or 9 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  

These are in particular: 

• A prior consent obtained from us for specific purposes (e.g. for the receipt of advertising); 
• a contractual relationship or, at your request, pre-contractual measures (e.g. in case of executing an order, if your company works for DB Cargo Logistics), 
• legal obligations for data processing (e.g. in the case of a justified request for information from authorities such as the Federal Railway Authority), 
• in special cases, such as accidents, the legal basis that we process data to protect a person's vital interests, 
• the predominant legitimate interest of us or a third party (e.g. in the case of the processing of personal data in the context of video surveillance) or 
• the processing of special types of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO ("sensitive" data, in particular health data) shall only be carried out on the basis of the legal bases specified in Art. 9 DSGVO, i.e. in particular on the basis of the consent of the data subject or insofar as this is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. 

In principle, it is important for us to collect only the data which is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes. In addition, we may also collect data that promotes the purpose of the contract but is not absolutely necessary, e.g. in connection with certain comfort functions.  

We make this transparent by, for example, marking mandatory fields as such in online forms. 

For processing of contracts in general the engagement of a directive data processor is necessary, e.g. of data center operators, print or delivery services or other contractual parties. 

For data processing in the DB Group, you can find the information at: https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/konzern/konzernprofil/datenschutz/datenverarbeitung-1192224 

External providers, who collect data in our name, are carefully selected by us and are strictly bound by contract.  

These providers work in accordance with our instructions, which are ensured by strict contractual obligations, by technical and organizational measures as well as complementary checks. 

A transmission of your data will only be proceed in case you give us your explicit confirmation or according to a legal regulation. 

A transmission to third states outside of European Union / European Economic Area (EER) or an international organization will not be proceeding, except in case of appropriate guarantees. These include standard contractual clauses of EU as well as EU-Commission adequacy decisions. 

The data is only stored as long as it is needed. The duration of the storage depends therefore on the respective purpose. The purpose can result from the contract or also from legal regulations for the storage of business documents or other documents.  

Therefore no generally valid storage period can be indicated here.
