USE OF OUR SERVICES
To book a transfer we need your first and last name, your e-mail address, mobile phone number and specific payment information.

We only pass on or otherwise communicate your personal data to third parties if it is necessary (i) to perform our contractual obligations, (ii) to handle payment transactions, (iii) if STM RIDE or the third party has a legitimate interest, or (iv) if you have previously given your consent. This means that the transportation service provider or other external providers of services (external fleet partner), as well as their respective drivers executing the transfers, receive the necessary information (first and last name, mobile phone number, flight number, pickup address, destination address and time of arrival as well as information on extra requests) via the website. Moreover, for credit card payment purposes the payment processor Stripe receives the necessary information (first and last name, mobile phone number, credit card information).

To be able to use our services in a country outside the European Union (hereinafter referred to as “third country”) the transfer of your personal data to the respective fleet company or the external fleet partner as well as to the respective driver executing the ride in such a third country is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations.

After every trip, we will request you by e-mail to rate the driver and the vehicle. This rating only serves for quality assurance and improvement of customer satisfaction. The quality standards are important to us and we want to know if you are unhappy with the transportation service.
