Privacy Policy DHL Connect App
The DHL Connect app enables freight service drivers to use their mobile devices to enter departure and arrival times for loading and unloading. The app can also be used to confirm loading equipment containers and report delays (including the reason and duration of the delay and a photo). The app’s document photo function can be used to create a digital image of freight documents and other paperwork. DHL uses this data to optimize the flow of information and to offer transport service providers a mobile option for submitting transport data.
Data for validating departure and arrival times is processed for a specific purpose: carrying out the contract between DHL and the transport service provider, i.e., for the performance of the agreement; Article 6(1) letter (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
DHL has a legitimate interest in processing data to improve business and service processes; Article 6(1) letter (f) GDPR. You can object to the processing of this data anytime by e-mail (datenschutz@dpdhl.com). No formal procedure is required.
Categories of Data
- GPS data: Allow the DHL Connect app to access your location (in the app’s location services settings for the particular operating system). The location function must be turned on for location-related services – such as validating departure and arrival times at specific checkpoints and changes resulting from delays – to be offered. To determine locations, we process location data through the device’s GPS function. The location of the shipment will only be used at set checkpoints for the reasons already described. The GPS location will not be not tracked continuously in order, for example, to generate a movement profile.
- The truck license plate number, which was entered beforehand to confirm the planned route, is used for logging in.
- Device data is recorded (and analyzed where necessary) for maintenance purposes and improving services. That data consists of the device ID, the device model and the operating system and version number currently in use.

- Contractual partner’s e-mail address
