Definition of Personal data

Under the General Data Processing Regulation (GDPR) and Dutch Data Privacy legislation personal data is considered any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute personal data.

With respect to the previous paragraph the Rail Planner App may use your device-unique ID in order to provide you with the tailored features explained further below.

Personal data used for Service and Additional notifications

In order to take advantage of the “Relevant service notifications” and “Additional notifications” functions, tailored to your location, you must enable the application to retrieve the device’s location data and device-unique ID address and share it with Eurail’s systems.

By enabling either of the notification services you agree to the collection and processing of your device’s location data.

Disabling the sharing of your device’s location data* or disabling the GPS on your device means that it is impossible to obtain the requested function.

*  This data is not necessary for the basic functioning of the Rail Planner App and it’s sharing can be switched on and off, at any time, through the App settings.

 You agree that if you enable your device’s GPS and the notification function, your personal information will be processed.

Log data

Enabling “Share app statistics” allows us, in a case of an error in the app, to collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your, device name/model, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Status of involved entities

In accordance with GDPR and Dutch Data Privacy laws Eurail is considered a Data Controller in relation to processing the aforementioned private data. All processing carried out by trusted third-party (Processor under the relevant law) is subject to a Data Processing Agreement between Eurail and the respective entity.

We value your trust when providing Us with your Personal Information, thus We are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. Personal data is processed with automated equipment, for the time strictly required to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. Specific security measures are observed to prevent loss of data, unlawful and improper use and authorized access.

All personal data extracted by the Rail Planner App remains temporarily in the internal memory of the application.

Your device-unique ID address is automatically erased from the application’s internal memory, once the “Relevant service notification” and the “Advanced notification” functions have been switched off.

Your device’s location data is automatically deactivated/erased from the application’s internal memory, once the “Relevant service notification” and the “Advanced notification” functions or your device’s GPS have been switched off.

We handle personal data with confidentiality. We will not provide your data to third parties for direct marketing purposes by such parties. Nor will We provide the data provided by you to third parties, if you have not given your consent, unless this is necessary for performing the agreement you have concluded with us or is required by law.
