We know how important it is to you that your personal data are handled carefully. Data are only ever processed for specific purposes. This could be out of technical necessity or due to contractual requirements, legal provisions, overriding interest, i.e. for legitimate reasons, or if you have granted your express consent. We collect, store and process personal data where necessary. This includes for the purposes of managing customer relationships, preparing information on and marketing our products and services, assisting with technical issues and evaluation and further developing products and services.

Using the www.tilo.ch website:

When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store each access in a log file. The following technical data are collected in the process and stored until it is automatically deleted after fourteen months at the latest:

• IP address of the computer requesting access
• The date and time of access
• The website from which our website is being accessed, including the search term where applicable
• The name and URL of the file being requested
• Any search queries performed (timetable, webpage’s general search functions, products, etc.)
• The operating system on your computer (provided by the user agent)
• The browser you are using (provided by the user agent)
• The type of device when accessed via mobile phone
• The transmission protocol being used

These data are processed and collected for the purposes of system security and stability and for analysing errors and performance as well as for internal statistical purposes. It enables us to optimise our website.

The IP address is also used to preset the language of the website. Furthermore, it is analysed together with other data when there is an attempt to access the network infrastructure or in the event of other unauthorised or improper use of our websites for information and defence purposes and, where applicable, is used for the purposes of identification during criminal proceedings and in civil and criminal procedures against the data subject.

Finally, when you visit our websites, we use cookies and other applications and tools which are based on cookies. You can find further details in the cookie guidelines.

Within the scope of the applicability of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest.

We do not accept any guarantee for compliance with data protection regulations for external websites that are linked to our webpages.

We do not resell personal data. A transmission of personal data therefore takes place only to selected service providers and only to the extent necessary for the provision of the service.

With regard to service providers based abroad, please also consider the information contained in the “Where are data stored” section.

Furthermore, transmission of personal data may take place if we are required to do so by a legal obligation or if this is necessary for the exercise of our rights, in particular the assertion of requests arising from the relationship with the user.

Personal data will not be disclosed to other third parties outside of public transport.

To ensure a needs-oriented design and continuous optimisation of our Internet pages, we use the web analysis tool Matomo. For the data processing activities described below, the legal basis is our legitimate interest.
