Liability for third party content and links

This information has been obtained from the relevant third party and does therefore not constitute “own” information within the meaning of Sec. 7 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). Although we apply our best efforts to assess the correctness of the third-party information, it is possible that some of the information related to facilities outside the VERS are or become incorrect before we can update the information. You should in any case liaise with the relevant third party before making any disposition or schedule with regard to your wagon fleet.

To the extent the operator implements links to the websites of third parties these are considered as third-party content within the meaning of Sec. 7 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). The third-party content was duly assessed for potential liability under criminal or civil law. However, it is possible that third party content was amended after implementation of the link by the third-party operator. The third-party content is not regularly and proactively controlled for any changes. If you are of the opinion that the third-party content violates applicable law or infringed third party rights, please reach out to the operator per

This data is solely used for enabling the access and use of the Platform and for the assessment and improvement of our offer without allowing a direct conclusion on the person of the User. This data is not matched to other sets of data provided by you. The processing of this data is necessary for fulfilling our contractual obligations towards the User and his employer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR as well as for the protection of our justified interest in the provision of our services and improvement of the Platform in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The personal information of Users will only be forwarded to technical service providers which support us in providing the Platform and process data only under the instruction of VERS (e.g. hosting provider). Currently, the Platform is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) on servers located in Ireland.

 

We use the services of AWS, a service of the Amazon Corporation, as identity provider for our Platform. For this purpose it is necessary to forward the User to a landing page of AWS during the login and AWS verifies the login data with our database. It may be necessary that AWS transfers the data to servers in the US. Amazon will use the data only in compliance with our instructions and for the purpose of verifying the identity for the access to the Platform. Amazon is certified under the EU / US Privacy Shield.

 

 

The Platform uses the mapping service of OpenStreetMap. For displaying the mapping functions on the Platform certain technical data (in particular IP addresses, browser and device type, operating system, referring web page, date and time of page visit) may be automatically transferred from the device of the User to the operator of OpenStreetMap, the OpenStreetMap Foundation in order to enable the User the use of the mapping services. The data may be transferred to servers located outside the European Economic Area. This transfer of data is required to provide the Functions of the Platform to the User which are based on the mapping service and are thus to fulfill our contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR).
