9. Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal effects against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This is not the case if the decision

  • (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller.
  • (2) is admissible under European Union legal regulations or those of the member states to which the data controller is subject and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
  • (3) is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9 paragraph 1 GDPR, unless Article 9 paragraph 2 (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the data controller, to state his/her own position, and to challenge the decision.

10. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state where you reside, your place of work, or the location of the suspected infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the appeal is submitted will inform the appellant about the status and the results of the appeal, including the option of effective judicial remedy in accordance with Article 78 GDPR.

C-Cheq App for vehicle handovers and returns – A modern success story

Within no time plenty of our Customers decided to use the App in order to benefit from the automated process as well as the improved damage management, to name only two advantages. The smartphone / tablet usage ratio is almost equal, but the tablet is about to take the lead. The significance of digitalisation increases day by day, in order to simplify the communication with the customer or make it even possible.

March 2018

C-Share – the latest product from CX9 opens the door to the future of online car reservations.

What only intrepid visionaries dared to dream just a few years ago has now become reality: the way the Internet is used has changed fundamentally. Ever since the smartphone became available, sporadic surfing on a PC has been superseded by uninterrupted Internet use by means of mobile end devices.

Companies need to respond to these changes, including ones in the car rental industry. CX9 has embraced the change, and will soon be extending its product range accordingly. Having already introduced our online reservation module, which allows our customers’ online reservations to be made by the end users straightforwardly and transparently, this service will be extended to reservations by smartphone in the future as well.

The “C-Share” app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store, allows end customers to reserve vehicles of their own accord using their cell phone. And that’s not all. If the vehicle is equipped with the right kind of receiver unit, such as a Cloud Box, then the car can be unlocked by the customers themselves by sending a PIN. Furthermore, the customer can work their way through a checklist stored in the app in order to complete their own check-out, including reporting and documenting any damage. Once the checklist has been completed, then the customer can start their journey. The app is also used to check in, and to lock the vehicle. And full transparency is guaranteed at all times. The customer can view their previous rentals and reservations at any time.

C-Share will make it possible for car rental companies to respond to customers’ changing patterns of Internet usage in the future, and to continue to optimize internal processes. And this CX9 product can, of course, be customized to cater to your personal preferences and requirements.

If you’d like to learn more about C-Share, or are interested in purchasing it, please contact CX9.

tekom (the industry conference for ‘technical communication’) is organized for professionals working in the industry and at service providers that deal in technical communication. One of the 24 presentations held at the conference was about our C-Rent web module “Mobile Handover and Return of Rentals”! Our colleague, José-Luis Muňoz and Prof. Dr. Volkert Brosda from the Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts were the expert speakers presenting the talk, which was titled “Web-app Development Needs the Right Technology Mix!”. And this is exactly what we’ve found!
