How long do we store personal data?
We generally delete your data after the purpose has been fulfilled. The exact deletion rules are defined in our regional deletion concepts. Different deletion rules apply depending on the purpose of the processing. Within our deletion concepts we have defined various data classes and assigned rule deletion periods to them. When the retention period is met, the stored data will be deleted accordingly.
Under certain circumstances, any requests for deletion may be opposed by legal retention periods, which prevent us from deleting the stored data for a fixed minimum period of time. In order to comply with these legal requirements, we block the relevant data after the purpose has been fulfilled and thereby guarantee data completeness and data integrity.
With which data processors and why do we share personal data?
We never give your data to unauthorized third parties. However, as part of our work we obtain the services of selected service providers and give them limited and strictly monitored access to some of our data. However, before we forward personal data to these data processors for processing on our behalf, each individual company undergoes an audit. All data recipients must meet the legal data protection requirements and prove their data protection level with appropriate proofs.
In the following we would like to inform you in a transparent and understandable way about all our data recipients with the respective reasons:
| Data recipient | Reason |
|---|---|
| External service provider | They support our business activities by providing us with IT solutions and infrastructure or by ensuring the security of our business operations, for example by identifying and rectifying faults. Furthermore, personal data may also be disclosed to external tax consultants, lawyers or auditors if they provide services for which they have been commissioned. |
| Members of the Delivery Hero SE Group | Within a group it is sometimes necessary to use resources effectively. In this context, we support each other within our Group in optimizing our processes. In addition, we provide joint content and services. This includes, for example, the technical support of systems. This is a joint controllership within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. The employer is fully responsible for fulfilling the data protection requirements together with Delivery Hero SE. Within the framework of joint regulations, both the employer and Delivery Hero SE have agreed that both will guarantee their rights equally. You can therefore address any requests both to the local entity that has engaged you as a rider, and to Delivery Hero SE, Oranienburger Straße 70, 10117 Berlin. You can reach the data protection officer at [email protected]. |
| Prosecuting authorities and legal proceeding | Unfortunately, it can happen that a few of our riders and service providers do not behave fairly and want to harm us. In these cases we are not only obliged to hand over personal data due to legal obligations, it is of course also in our interest to prevent damage and to enforce our claims and to reject unjustified claims |
Data processing outside the EU and EEA
We process your data mainly within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, some of our service providers mentioned above are based outside the EU and the EEA. The GDPR has high requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries. All our data receivers have to measure up to these requirements. Before we transfer your data to a service provider in third countries, every service provider is first assessed with regard to its data protection level. Only if they can demonstrate an adequate level of data protection will they be shortlisted for service providers.
Regardless of whether our service providers are located within the EU/EEA or in third countries, each service provider must sign a data processing agreement with us. Service providers outside the EU/EEA must meet additional requirements. According to Art. 44 ff. GDPR personal data may be transferred to service providers that meet at least one of the following requirements:
a. The EU Commission has decided that the third country ensures an adequate level of protection (e.g. Israel and Canada). b. Standard data protection clauses have been accepted. Contractual clauses which cannot be modified by the contracting parties and in which they undertake to ensure an adequate level of data protection are recognized by the GDPR as a suitable transfer mechanism. c. Further appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR have been implemented. The GDPR also permits data transfers in other situations, e.g. where a recipient has accepted the terms of binding corporate rules or approved certification mechanisms, or where a data subject has granted their consent. We will only transfer your data to service providers who meet at least one of these requirements. If we transfer data to third countries, these are mainly companies based in the USA or Israel.

However, during this time you will not be able to use our services, otherwise we will process your data again. |

Please write an email to [email protected]. In this case we will review the processing activity again and either stop processing your data for this purpose or explain to you our reasons worth protecting and why we will continue with the processing. |
| Automated decision making | We also process your personal data in the context of algorithms in order to simplify our processes. You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing. If you believe that we have denied your access in an unjustified way, you can always contact us at [email protected] In this case, we will examine the case separately and decide on a case-by-case basis. |
