1.3 Data collection
When you use the lbase Driver app, various personal data is collected and transmitted to the lbase application server.
This includes:
- Master data
- Driver name
- Usage data / technical data
- Operating system
- Battery level
- Device type
- Energy saving mode
- Device identification number
- Location data
- GPS
- Tour positions
- Time stamp
- Tour data & operational process data

1.4 Purpose and legal basis of processing
We use the collected data to display tours in full, plan them, and process them properly. The GPS data enables us to track the route traveled and display the current driver position. When installing the app, users are informed that GPS recording will take place and that the relevant permissions are required for this. GPS recording starts automatically at the beginning of the tour and runs in the background. From this point on, the user receives a notification in the notification center; on iOS devices, an additional display appears in Dynamic Island. When the tour ends, GPS recording stops automatically. Location processing does not take place outside of active tours.
Photos, documents, and signatures are used to document pickups, deliveries, and any damage. Status messages help to map transport processes completely and comprehensibly.
Technical log and device data are used to ensure the stability of the app, analyze sources of error, and support technical support.
To provide offline capability for the app, collected information is stored in the local store until a connection to the backend is established.

1.7 Storage location and duration
Server-side storage
The data is stored in log files on the customer's application servers. Depending on the contractual agreement, these servers are either under the control of the customer or are operated in the Axians ICT Austria GmbH data center in Vienna.
The data collected in the lbase Driver App is stored in accordance with the statutory retention periods and the customer's contractually agreed deletion or archiving concept. This applies in particular to tour, documentation, and verification data that is relevant for tax or commercial law retention obligations.
In general, the following periods may be relevant:
- Tax retention obligation pursuant to Section 132 of the Austrian Federal Tax Code (BAO): 7 years
- Austrian commercial law retention obligation: 7 years
- Special provisions: In certain cases (e.g., ongoing official proceedings, tax audits, or in connection with claims for damages), the retention period may be extended accordingly until the respective proceedings have been concluded.
After the applicable retention periods have expired, the data will be deleted in accordance with the customer's deletion policy so that personal information is not stored longer than necessary. Depending on the customer's agreement, the data may be anonymized or archived on a separate archive system for the agreed period.
Local storage on the end device
To ensure the offline functionality of the lbase Driver app, certain data (e.g., tour data, photos, status messages) may be temporarily stored locally on the device until it has been successfully transferred to the server.
After you have finished using the app (ended your trip) or after successful synchronization, all locally stored data is automatically deleted.
No further local storage of personal data takes place.
1.8 Technical and organizational measures
Appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented to ensure a level of protection commensurate with the risk. These include, in particular, measures for access control, encryption, ensuring availability, and regular review of our security mechanisms.
In addition to the technical and organizational measures agreed with the customer, an ACL-based authorization system (Access Control List) can be used to further segment and secure access to data and functions.
A detailed description of these measures is included in the respective data processing agreement with our customers.
