4 What information do we collect and what is the purpose of the processing
Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S processes the information you provide when creating your account in the Self-Service Solution, at the transport companies’ sales points, or via the Rejsekort Customer Center, as well as the information you provide when purchasing a Basic Card. When you start using your Basic Card as valid travel documentation, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S records information about your journeys and/or purchases.
General information about creating a customer account in Basiskort and the Rejsekort app:
You create a unique account that will be used across Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S’s two products, Basiskort and the Rejsekort app, if you use both products.
This means that if you use both Basiskort and the Rejsekort app, you only need to create one account. If you update your information, the changes will apply to your account and both products.
4.1 Information when creating your profile
The information you provide in connection with creating your account is:
-
Your emailaddress
-
Your first and last name
-
Your address
-
Your birthdate
-
Information about the payment method linked to your account
Additionally, a system-generated unique user ID is created and linked to your account, and a customer type is assigned based on your date of birth.
4.2 Information required when creating anaccount for a user under 18 years of age
The adult legal guardian or custodian must, when creating anaccount for a user under 18 years of age (the child), provide the following information:
-
The child’s first and last name
-
The child’sbirthdate
When creating anaccount for a child, the adult must confirm via MitID lookup or by submitting documentation that the adult is at least 18 years old. No other information is collected from MitID or during age verification, apart from the confirmation that the adult is at least 18 years old.
Information about the adult’s payment method is automatically linked to the child’s account.
4.3 Information required when applying for and creating the customer type “Pensioner under 67 years of age
When applying to be registered with the customer type “Pensioner under 67 years of age,” Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S needs to process additional personal data about you.
Your identity must be verified either through a MitID lookup or by submitting other documentation. Through the MitID lookup, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S receives your first name, last name, and date of birth from MitID, which are recorded on your account. If identity verification is successful, your account will be marked as identity-verified, while a failed verification will not result in any registration on your account.
As part of the application for the “Pensioner” customer type, you must consent to Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S collecting and processing your CPR number. Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S processes your CPR number to check whether you are already registered with the “Pensioner” customer type in the system linked to the physical Rejsekort, so that the customer type can be transferred to your Basiskortaccount. If you do not have a physical Rejsekort with the “Pensioner” customer type, your CPR number will be processed to determine whether you are registered as a recipient of early, senior, or partial pension from Udbetaling Danmark. If Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S can identify you as a recipient of these benefits, the “Pensioner” customer type will be registered on your account. Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S does not receive information about which specific pension benefit you receive, only general confirmation from Udbetaling Danmark.
You can withdraw your consent from the processing of your CPR number at any time. Once the application process is completed, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S deletes your CPR number. Therefore, in practice, withdrawing your consent after the process is completed will have no effect.
4.4 Information required when applying for and creating the customer type Disabled
When applying to be registered with the customer type “Disability,” Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S needs to process additional personal data about you beyond what is processed for an age-based customer type.
As part of the application for the “Disability” customer type, you must consent to Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S collecting and processing your CPR number and the information that you have the “Disability” customer type, as this is considered health-related information.
You can withdraw your consent to the processing of the “Disability” customer type information at any time. However, this will mean that you cannot travel with the “Disability” customer type for future journeys.
Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S will temporarily process your CPR number to identify you in the system linked to the physical Rejsekort to check whether you are already registered with the “Disability” customer type and can therefore have this customer type transferred to your Basiskortaccount.
You can withdraw your consent from the processing of your CPR number at any time. Once the application process is completed, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S deletes your CPR number. Therefore, in practice, withdrawing your consent after the process is completed will have no effect.
Your identity must be verified either through a MitID lookup or by submitting other documentation. Through the MitID lookup, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S receives your first name, last name, and date of birth from MitID, which are recorded on your account. If identity verification is successful, your account will be marked as identity-verified, while a failed verification will not result in any registration on your account.
4.5 Information when purchasing a Basiskort
The information you provide when purchasing a Basiskort includes:
-
Delivery address (including C/O name on mailbox)
-
Acceptance of card terms
-
Information about linked payment method
-
When purchasing a Basiskort via the Self-Service solution or the Rejsekort Customer Center, the system generates an order number to process your request. The system also creates a card number, which is printed on your Basiskort and linked to your account.
4.6 Information when using the Basiskort as valid travel entitlement
Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S register the following in connection with your travels:
-
Time and place of check-in and check-out
-
Start and end station/stop, as well as intermediate stations/stops on your calculated route
-
For journeys where route calculation is not possible, only check-in and/or check-out time and location are registered
-
Selected customer type and price, including any number and type of accompanying travelers
The travel information is registered to provide you with valid travel entitlement while checked in and to serve you as a customer and document the travel cost. Additionally, the travel data is used to detect and prevent misuse of the Basiskort and to comply with applicable laws such as accounting and payment legislation.
4.7 Travel and purchase history
You can view your travel history and complete payments by logging into the Self-Service solution once you have started using your Basiskort. If you have checked in multiple travelers, you will also be able to see them here.Since you have the right to review and, if necessary, dispute the calculation of your journeys, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S stores your travel history and completed payments for 36 months.
If you pay for a user under 18 years of age in Basiskort and/or the Rejsekort app, you will also be able to see the payment and an overview of their travel history (start and end station/stop). As users under 18 cannot add a payment method in Basiskort, they do not have access to completed payments but can view their travel history in the Self-Service solution.
4.8 Information when contacting the Rejsekort Customer Center
If you contact Rejsekort Customer Center by phone, via the contact form in the Self-Service solution, or through the website www.rejsekort.dk, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S will also store the personal data you provide in connection with this contact, insofar as it is relevant to your customer relationship.
When contacting Rejsekort Customer Center by phone, your calls will be recorded if you give consent. The recordings are used for documentation and training purposes and are deleted after 30 days. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting Rejsekort Customer Center.
Profiling for the purpose of detecting and preventing misuse.
5 Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S uses profiling to find and prevent fraud
Profiling takes place when the system identifies behavior resembling misuse in completed journeys. Each journey is automatically checked for signs of misuse. The system assigns a point value to each individual journey as an indicator of whether the travel pattern for that journey shows signs of misuse. The system calculates the point value separately for each journey. The system stores all the generated point values per customer, and these values are used as part of any specific manual case handling in the event of suspected misuse.
A more detailed description of the handling of misuse can be found in the Terms and Conditions for the Basiskort, which you can access directly in the Self-Service solution and on www.rejsekort.dk under Legal documents.
In the Basic Card system and the Rejsekort app, profiling serves as decision support for caseworkers, and therefore no automated decisions are made.
5.1 Information on possible account blocking
Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S may, under certain circumstances, block your account in cases of misuse-like behavior, preventing you from using both Basiskort and the Rejsekort app. In such cases, Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S will store information about this.
A detailed description of how misuse is handled can be found in the Terms and Conditions for Basiskort, which you can access directly in the self-service solution and onwww.rejsekort.dk under Legal documents.
