Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis
Visitor Capture:
Visitors who wish to enter the logistics centre must register at the guard's office and sign a visitors’ list. The visitor's surname, first name, company, signature and time of arrival are recorded here. When leaving the premises, the time of departure is recorded.
Purpose of Capture:
Legal Basis
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as the visits serve to initiate or implement a contractual relationship with a natural person.
In addition, the legal basis for visitors is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, because the processing is carried out in our legitimate interest. This legitimate interest derives from the fact that we need the data to establish security on the company premises as a preventive measure to avert danger (theft) and control on-site presence in the event of escalation (e.g. fire, evacuation).
Yard Management:
Yard Management is used to document the data of persons (surname, first name, company, business address, mobile phone number, e-mail address, start and end of stay) and of vehicles (vehicle registration number, type of vehicle/truck, routes/routes) on the premises of a Rhenus site.
Yard Management consists of two components:
1. People Management
2. Vehicle Management
In people management, visitors and employees of external companies can be registered when arriving on the premises as well as when leaving the premises.
In vehicle management, appointments for deliveries and collections can be booked directly by the executing freight forwarders and transport service providers. Vehicles are also registered upon arrival at the logistics centre. Yard management can then also call registered vehicles to a free gate via SMS, where they are then loaded or unloaded. If the vehicle leaves the premises again, it is also deregistered by the system.
Purpose of Collection
Yard management offers the possibility to gain an overview of the people, visitors and vehicles on the premises and to control deliveries and collections from the system. This is particularly necessary for the timely processing of contracts and the planning of time windows for deliveries and collections. In addition, emergency lists are created for emergency evacuation.
Legal Basis
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as the data is processed for the initiation or implementation of a contractual relationship.
The legal basis for persons with whom no direct contractual relationship exists or is to be established is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, as the processing is carried out in our legitimate interest. This legitimate interest derives from the fact that the data is required to establish security on the company premises and for the smooth and timely execution of business operations. In addition, damage caused by improper driving or accidents caused by the vehicles used can be documented and used to prove claims.
Safety Briefing
Data Collected from Visitors
Employees of external companies and, if applicable, their subcontractors must receive a safety briefing before starting work. To carry out the corresponding brieifing, a form is filled out and signed by both the employee of the external company/visitor and the responsible Rhenus employee. The surname, first name and company as well as the signature and date of the safety instruction are all recorded here.
The aforementioned regulation applies to visitors or other external persons if they do not move around the company premises in the constant company of a Rhenus employee but on their own.
The signed proof is scanned by the person responsible for maintaining the R.I.S. safety database and archived in the safety database. The original is then destroyed.
Purpose of the Collection
Fulfilment of the legal obligation to provide safety instruction, such as the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Instruction §12), Ordinance §9 on Industrial Safety and Health and DGUV Regulation 1, "Principles of Prevention" Instruction § 4. In addition, the safety instruction serves to avert dangers and regulate the behaviour of visitors/external persons or external companies in case of emergencies.
Legal Basis
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para 1c) GDPR, as it is carried out to fulfil the legal obligations arising from the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health, among others.
