Goal
The Sjees app is part of the bicycle impulse initiative of Brainport Bereikbaar. With this app you gain insight into your daily cycling movements and you can save nice gifts and discounts with those cycling miles. The Sjees app on the smartphone automatically registers where and when the bicycle is used in your daily travel and you as a user receive a reward for this. The Sjees app is also used for fun challenges to make cycling even more challenging. Of course, coupled with attractive prices.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to install the Sjees-app, create an account and allow the app to collect (detailed) data about, among other things, your movements by bicycle. We need this collected data to determine your movements and to award any associated rewards and, in the future, to make suitable traffic lights turn green more quickly for cyclists.

The data that the Processor collects and processes contains personal data. The data is collected to identify the user and the user shares this data with the Sjees-app to make optimal use of it. This privacy statement is an addition to the general privacy statement from the Sjees app. In the event of any conflict between these or other conditions declared applicable, these conditions shall prevail.

Full Privacy Statement
This privacy statement describes the guidelines for the information that the Processor or Sub-processor as well as the Controller (collectively “We”, “Us”) collect, process and store when you use the Sjees app.

As providers of the Sjees app, we think it is very important that users can rely on us. This means that we handle data and specifically personal data responsibly. The guidelines of this privacy regulation are in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU2016/679, hereinafter “GDPR”), and the guidelines of the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

The project is carried out by a project organization. Within this project organization, the company Mobidot BV is responsible for the development of the Sjees-app, the availability and the daily processing of the data used within the Sjees-app. This makes the processor within the meaning of the law Processor of the privacy-sensitive data processed via the Sjees-app. The Processor works closely together and shares information with the project partner and Sub-processor Keijzer BV for the purpose of running a support desk. To this end, the parties have signed a processing agreement with each other.

Collecting information
We collect your data on a voluntary basis through the use of the Sjees app. By using the Sjees app, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data in accordance with this privacy statement. If you do not wish this, we request that you do not use the Sjees-app (and your account) or immediately stop using the Sjees-app and entrust that we delete your data in the manner stated in this privacy statement.

The Sjees app is for personal use. You decide for yourself which data you want to provide to us and you are always in control of whether or not you give feedback and whether the Sjees-app should measure your movements.

The data that the Processor collects from you:
A. Account Information

  • Collection purpose: to provide access to the Sjees app. Filtering of appropriate challenges. Personalizing the Sjees app.
  • Data: first and last name, e-mail address, zip code residential address; interests (sustainability, travel time, health or cost aspect); setting preferences.

  • Data: e-mail address and/or telephone number
  • Sub-processor: Keijzer BV

C. Address data

  • Collection purpose: to be able to send a reward such as an entrance ticket or other prizes by post.

D. Mobility data

  • Collection purpose: to collect information on your travel behavior and travel experience. Support issuance of rewards for displayed travel behavior. To gain insight into travel behavior and effects. To provide travel advice. To be able to show all your rides on a map, the Sjees app needs permission to use your location. The Sjees-app uses location in the background to passively register rides, even when you are outside the Sjees-app, including at what time you start or stop moving.
  • Core data: smartphone sensor (GPS, WiFi and Accelerometer) traces linked to times (“rides”), collected feedback on questions in the Sjees app and via surveys on travel behavior, motivation, demographics and travel experience.

E. Log data

  • Collection purpose: to analyze and improve the performance and usage of the Sjees app.
  • Core data: usage data/analytical data of the Sjees-app and smartphone (type of smartphone, operating system and version, battery level, sensing events, log data on Sjees-app performance).

Processing information
If you use the Sjees app, we collect your rides in a personal overview (“my mobility”). The information derived by our concerns:

  • Start and end time of each ride;
  • Start and end point, route and infrastructure used during each ride;
  • Distance travelled, journey time and average speed;
  • Means of transport for each ride;
  • Purpose of the ride;
  • Frequently visited places;
  • Frequently chosen routes;
  • Modal share;
  • Weather conditions during the ride;
  • Estimate of costs, CO2 savings and calories burned per ride;
  • Any feedback given.

In addition, we ask for additional demographic background information, bicycle use in the past and motivation via the Sjees app. With this information the effects of the Sjees app are measured and evaluated.

The processing of data takes place in a well-secured data center in the Netherlands. Only a limited group of designated administrators has access to the data processing systems and the data. This data is used by us to offer the Sjees app to you, pursuant to the applicable terms of use. We will not change the goal in the meantime without your permission.

We do not knowingly process personal data of children under the age of 16. If it appears that we have collected personal data from someone under the age of 16 and no explicit permission has been given by parents or guardian, the subsequent account will be closed immediately and all personal data will be deleted.

We anonymize all your collected and processed travel data including the feedback you provide about travel experience by aggregating and randomizing it. After this, the data can no longer be traced back to you.

Anonymization is achieved by pooling information from multiple users and randomizing the information. Randomization includes:

  • Cut away 0-200 meters at the start and end of measured routes;
  • Removal of user information so that, for example, it can no longer be traced that the bicycle ride from A to B on Tuesday was carried out by the same person as the ride from C to D on Friday;
  • Shift data in time with a randomly determined offset of random -30 and +30 minutes.

We use a number of reward partners to be able to make the Sjees app valuable to you and to fulfill our obligations. These reward partners help us to provide rewards or additional services. These reward partners do not have access to your personal information or account.

Third party services from Google and Apple provide support services such as the availability of the Sjees-app in the app stores and the interaction of the Sjees-app with the iOS or Android operating systems on your phone, respectively. These services are not part of our privacy policy and you must separately agree to the terms of those parties.

If the latter is the case, we will inform you of this.
