2. Personal data

We collect, process and use your personal data only in accordance with the GDPR and other applicable data protection laws and regulations. Please be aware that within the app (e.g. shipment data), we act as a (sub-)processor, handling your data on behalf of your contractual partner.

3. Use of the app

Your personal data is processed to enable the free use of the Going Forward app (in accordance with our contractual obligations under Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR). The data will be processed only for as long as you use the app and will be deleted afterwards, unless legal retention is required for tax purposes (due to a fee-based contract or our role as a processor for a contractual partner), in which case a seven-year retention period applies.

The following data may be processed:

Registration: Upon registration, your login credentials and email address will be processed. After completing your registration, you can save your preferred myflexbox location and indicate whether you prefer compartments that are easier to access.

Parcel storage: After scanning the collection code, you can choose the nearest available myflexbox location and reserve a compartment in advance.

Location sharing: By granting permission for location sharing on a mobile device (you will be asked to allow it during use), we can show you nearby myflexbox locations. You can disable location access at any time in your device settings. The app remains fully functional even without location sharing.

4. Rights as a data subject

As a data subject, you have the right to access your stored personal data, as well as the rights to rectification, data portability, objection, restriction of processing, blocking, anonymization or deletion of your data, unless exceptions apply (such as statutory retention obligations) and in accordance with applicable laws.

Should you believe that our processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection laws or infringes upon your rights,  you are entitled to file a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority. In Austria, the Data Protection Authority (www.dsb.gv.at) is responsible for this.

5. Data security

We protect your personal data by implementing appropriate organizational and technical measures. These measures help to ensure protection against unauthorized access, unlawful processing, data loss, misuse and manipulation.

6. Transmission of data to third parties

Data may be disclosed to processors who are involved in fulfilling contractual obligations or supporting general IT services. These typically include IT service providers such as email providers, hosting providers, cloud providers and other external IT consultants and providers.

Whenever data is transferred to third parties for specific processing purposes that require additional information, this will be clearly outlined under the relevant purpose.

7. Storage of data

In accordance with applicable data protection regulations, Article 5 (1)(e) of the GDPR requires us to promptly delete personal data once the purpose of processing has been fulfilled. However, we would like to emphasize that statutory retention obligations and retention periods constitute a legitimate reason for the continued processing of personal data.
