1.  SCOPE OF APPLICATION

As used in this privacy policy (the “Policy”), the terms “using” and “processing” of Personal Data (as defined below) include subjecting the personal information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling personal information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring as detailed in this Privacy.

Skipr (“we” or “us“) provides this Policy to inform you of our procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Data of any person who uses the Application and the services provided thereon or the Website or who participates in a contest organized by Skipr (the “Users” or “you”).

2.  WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Skipr collects and processes two types of information: (i) information you or your employer provide to us, and (ii) information relating to the User’s use of the Application and/or the Website (collectively the “Personal Data”). Personal Data shall have the meaning as ascribed to it in applicable Belgian and European law.

  1. Information you or your employer provide to us:

Account:

When you decide to sign up to our Application, we will ask you to provide your phone number and your email address. This is required by several of our partners to, for example, allow you to book a train ticket, receive your ticket or obtain a payment confirmation. We might also use your email address to send you more information about our services or to assist you in case of a problem. 

When you create an account, buy a transportation ticket, proceed to a booking, send us an email or communicate with our customer service, you are voluntarily providing us with certain individually identifiable information that we collect and process. Such personal information may include but is not limited to your name, date of birth, gender, physical address, email address, telephone number, past expenses, billing information, bank account or other payment details. Should you give us details about another person, you hereby confirm that you fully respect the GDPR doing so and that you received every necessary authorization therefor.

We may also process additional information you may choose to provide to us on your account (i.e. personal data which must not compulsorily be given through the subscription process), such as photos, descriptions of your interests, commuting habits, languages spoken, who you are, where you live and where you work.

Additionally, your account may contain other necessary information as detailed in the law of 17 March 2019 regarding the introduction of a mobility budget and the executive royal decrees. Said information might be provided directly by you or by your employer in the strict respect of the legislation in place concerning mobility budgets.

Location and travel timings:

In order to improve the Application and the services offered thereon and to help calculate distances and timing between two locations or the time needed to park in a given area, your location, places of departure and destination, the start and finish times, the date of the travel and the duration of the use may be collected.

Additionally, all necessary data that Skipr is obliged by law to collect and process shall be duly collected and processed (law of 17 March 2019 regarding the introduction of a mobility budget and the executive royal decrees).

Bancontact, Paypal and/or Credit card details:

We will ask for your payment details if you wish to buy a transportation ticket or proceed with a booking. Those details will not be stored by Skipr and will be exclusively processed by our external secure payment provider (Adyen whose Privacy Policy can be found here (article 9.2)).

Should you be part of our B2B program (meaning your employer is financing your usage of the Application) and should you benefit from a Skipr payment card, some additional personal data (mainly your identity details) might be processed by us to comply with our contractual and legal obligations in relation with the payment card.

Purchase details:

We might collect personal data relating to your bookings and purchases such as the purchased products, the date of purchase or your potential complaints. 

Besides, as provided by law, Skipr shall collect the necessary information as to enable you to have access to your booking history and to the amount left on your mobility budget as the case may be.

Correspondence:

When you contact our customer service or anyone of the Skipr staff, we may keep a record of that correspondence and collect the necessary information to classify your question, respond to it and, if applicable, investigate any breach of our Terms and Conditions or this Policy.

Contest:

When you participate in a contest organized by Skipr, we will ask you for the necessary Personal Data to manage the concerned contest such as a name, email address, phone number, age or place of residence.

(ii) Information we learn about you from your use of the Application and/or the Website:

We may process your IP address and certain non-personal information or aggregated data about how and when you use the Application and/or the Website. This information is usually of a technical nature (device settings and information, including but not limited to the type of browser, operating system, keyboard language, screen resolution, IP address, location, etc.) and of a behavioral nature (the actions taken by you on the Application and/or the Website, including but not limited to access times, pages requested, actions executed, etc.) and is used to compile statistical data about the use of our Application and/or Website.

We may also collect additional information in connection with your participation in any promotions offered by us and information you provide when giving us feedback.

3.  PURPOSES OF DATA PROCESSING

Skipr only processes Personal Data for the following purposes:

                 a. Execution of a contract (art. 6, § 1, b) of the GDPR):

We process certain Personal Data (name, phone number, gender, email address, date of birth, driving license number, location, travel timings) to execute the contract between you and us allowing us and the concerned service providers to process your purchases and bookings on the Application, to allow you to use your tickets through the Application, to confirm purchases and bookings, to inform you in case of problem, to offer you a summary of your travels in the framework of a mobility budget or other reward program organised by your employer, to enable you to know the remaining of the mobility budget you have, to treat your requests through our customer service or troubleshoot any problems. 

In case you are participating to a contest organized by Skipr, we also process certain Personal Data to allow us to manage said contest.

For the execution of our services, we rely on third parties’ providers:

  • Data processors: we may rely on third party service providers to offer our Services and enhance your experience. Only to the extent required (i.e. to perform specific tasks on our behalf such as the storage of data, the order of a transportation ticket, the processing of a booking, targeted communication on the Application or calculation and suggestions concerning possible travel journeys), such third-party service providers (including some located outside of the European Union) will have access to your Personal Data. Once such third-party service provider has completed its specific task and their legal relationship with Skipr, they will no longer have access to your Personal Data except as required by law.

Our subcontractors are listed in a register of processing activities (kept internally). We ensure that all our subcontractors provide the same level of protection for your Personal Data as we do (including subcontractors located outside the EU).

  • Joint controllers: other parties (our mobility partners) may rely on the Application. In such case, such third parties act as controllers or joint controllers along with Skipr and are responsible for the process of your personal data and you should refer, along with this Privacy Policy, to their specific Privacy Policy in this respect. As such, for example, the privacy policies of De Lijn (point 6 of the General terms and conditions) or NMBS/SNCB shall also apply.

In such a case, Skipr may transfer your Personal Data to the third party that offered the services you used (such as your email address, name or phone number) in the extent it is necessary to enable you to use the services provided by the concerned third party (confirmation of purchase or booking; tickets/codes necessary to travel; requests or claims you make; information in case of problem; control of your tickets/codes; etc.) and/or in case of illegal use of the third-party services.

Should you wish to know in more details to which third parties your Personal Data and which Personal Data have been disclosed, please refer to section 6 below (“your rights”).

b. Compliance with legal obligations (art. 6, §1, c) of the GDPR):

We may also process your Personal Data in order to comply with the law, to complete all legally obligated paperwork in each country/region in which either the User or Skipr is active or in case of illegal use, when we receive orders from legal authorities. 

Skipr is working with employers to offer their employees an application that enables them to handle their mobility budget. As such, employers will be granted access to some Personal Data of their respective employees as provided by the law of 17 March 2019 regarding the introduction of a mobility budget and the executive royal decrees.

c. Legitimate interests (art. 6, § 1, f) of the GDPR):

Beyond the collection of your Personal Data to provide our services to you, to organize a contest or to comply with legal obligations, we may collect and use your Personal Data for the following purposes:

                 ii. Provide customer service:

We may collect additional Personal Data to perform general customer administration of your account by providing you with specific information on available services and by sending you communications about the Application (e.g. upcoming changes or improvements) as well as our other products and services and respond to your questions, treat your requests or troubleshoot any problems.

We may also verify the respect of your obligations set out in our Terms & Conditions and our Policy and investigate fraud and infringements on all applicable rules and regulations.

                 iii. Perform marketing actions:

We may process your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, tailored suggestions and information exclusively about Skipr, such as events, app updates, contests or information about our Website or Application. We will not contact you regarding third parties and we will not provide your data to third parties for marketing purposes.

You can always choose to opt-out, at any time, of marketing promotions from Skipr and/or email correspondence from Skipr if you do not want your Personal Data to be used anymore for any of the aforementioned marketing purposes. If you do not want to receive commercial communications from us anymore, you can choose to unsubscribe from such commercial communications at any time by sending us an email at privacy@skipr.co.
