Newsletter
This website uses HubSpot Ireland Limited, 2nd Floor 30, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland to send out newsletters. Hubspot is a service that can be used to organise and analyse newsletter distribution. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on Hubspot’s servers.
Our newsletters sent with Hubspot allow us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, it can be analysed how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analysed whether a predefined action (e.g. download whitepaper) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
If you do not want any analysis by Hubspot, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from Hubspot’s servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members’ area) remain unaffected by this.

Data processing when using the SLYNX portal and app
The data listed below will be stored and, if necessary, processed by or on behalf of SLYNX when using the services or registering for one of the services at SLYNX in addition to the data mentioned so far.
Data provided by customers when booking the transport of goods
These include the customer’s profile data and the transport data when booking a transport. We collect data when users make use of the SLYNX platform service. In the final step, a user account is created and the following data is collected:
When entering the order, the customer can use the services of Google Autocomplete. Therefore Google collects the following data: unique identifiers, the type and settings of the browser, the type and settings of the device, the operating system, information about the mobile network such as the name of the mobile provider and the phone number as well as the version number of the app, data about the interaction of the apps, browsers and devices with Google services. This includes, but is not limited to, the IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and referring URL of the request.
The data will not be passed on to third parties. When using the online account, the customer is obliged to store the access data for the user account carefully. He shall ensure that no unauthorised third party gains knowledge of the password. The customer is obliged to keep the password secret and – if possible – to change it immediately or have it changed by SLYNX if he suspects that unauthorised third parties have gained knowledge of it. The customer is liable to SLYNX for any damage caused by the breach of these obligations.
Data collected by the transport partner
We collect data when transport partners create or update an account for the company/for an individual transporter with SLYNX. The following data is concerned:
Data arising from the use of the SLYNX App by the transport partner
In the context of transport execution, location sharing, motion detection and push notification must be enabled with the use of the SLYNX app. And the SLYNX app transmits the following information to SLYNX:
Location data
During the period of order execution and use of the SLYNX Driver App, we require access to the location in order to be informed about the current transport progress. The GPS data will only be collected by us from the time of departure to the place of collection of the goods. This data is collected when the app is running in the foreground (app open and on screen) or in the background (app open but not on screen) of the mobile device. Location data will not be transmitted without an order.
For example, the SLYNX customer only sees the order-related transport progress between the pick-up and delivery address and status messages such as the Estimated Time of Arrival. The Estimated Time of Arrival is constantly updated based on GPS information.
Transaction data
SLYNX collects transaction data related to the use of the services, including the type of services requested or provided, order details, delivery information, the date and time the service was provided, the invoice amount, the distance travelled and the payment method.

In addition, when using the app for transporters, photos related to the transport can be transmitted and captured by the driver. For the confirmation of collection and delivery by the carrier, the signature of the customer and the recipient is also recorded in the SLYNX app in each case.
During the transport, the user has the option to send SLYNX order/transport-related messages and images via the SLYNX Driver App.
Device data
SLYNX may collect data about the devices used to access the SLYNX services, including hardware models, device IP address, operating systems and versions, software, preferred languages, unique device identifiers, promotional identifiers, serial numbers, device movement data and mobile network data.
