1. Information we may collect from you

As “controller” of your personal data, GTR is responsible for making decisions about how and why we process this data, and for ensuring that we do so in accordance with Privacy laws.

“Processing” in this case means the collection, storage, use and sharing of your personal data.

  • visit our stations or car parks
  • use our website or apps
  • use our onboard WiFi
  • buy a product from us or make a sales enquiry

We collect information such as your contact details, ticket purchases, stations visited (for example for charging the correct fares on smart cards), payment and refund details. We may require additional details for some services, such as your age for age restricted tickets. This information is generally provided by you.

Sometimes we obtain details from third parties, for example if we have taken over a franchise or a complaint is passed to us from another operator.


2. How we use your information

We will only use the information you provide to process your data as set out in this privacy policy or otherwise permitted under Privacy Laws.

The lawful bases for processing your personal data include:

  • where you have given us your consent to process your personal data for one or more specified purposes. You can withdraw this consent at any time. You can find more information on this below

Where it is necessary for:

  • the performance of a contract to which you are a party
  • compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject
  • our legitimate interests, as long as these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms as a data subject

Our legitimate interests include data processing which allows us to:

  • run our services in a safe and socially and environmentally responsible manner, efficiently, to provide sustainable and high quality, locally focused passenger transport services
  • improve and expand our services and be a leading employer in the transport sector
  • enhance our customer services

Special Category Personal Data

In limited situations, we may process special category personal data, which includes information revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, information concerning your health or information concerning your sex life or sexual orientation.

This will only be done where at least one of the above purposes/justifications, and one of the following additional purposes apply:

  • where you have given us your explicit consent to process that special category personal data for specified purposes (for example, Passenger Assist); or
  • where it is necessary:
    • to allow us to comply with our legal obligations under employment, social security and social protection law, including health and safety and equalities legislation;
    • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity;
    • for reasons of vital interests (e.g. emergency situation concerning your health when you are travelling on our trains);
    • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with specific laws; or
    • for reasons of substantial public interest, as set out in the Privacy Laws. This includes processing of special category personal data for the prevention or detection of crime.

Criminal convictions and offences data

In limited situations we may process criminal convictions and offences data, which includes information about actual or suspected crimes such as about fraudulent ticket use and incidents happening on trains. This will only be done where at least one of the purposes/justifications outlined above apply, and when one of the substantial public interest reasons in Privacy Laws (as mentioned directly above) applies – e.g. prevention or detection of crime.

We may use your personal data in the following ways:

  • To provide you with the service - things like carrying out our obligations arising from any contracts such as selling tickets, and making and taking payments. We mostly rely on the legal ground of contractual performance to process your data
  • To provide you with details of our services and information about travelling, and customer service
  • To contact you to take part in a survey in order to enable us to review, develop and improve our services
  • To provide you with details of promotions and offers which we feel may interest you when you have given consent for us to contact you. You have an absolute right to ask us to stop sending marketing emails or SMS. We use information like the tickets you buy and stations you use to make communications to you more relevant
  • To run our services and improve them - things like monitoring passenger numbers and popular stations, improving technology to help plan journeys, running our services safely and being a good employer
  • To comply with our legal obligations, including providing information to the Department for Transport and Regulators
  • To run interoperable services, which allows you to use a ticket on a train and the tube or use a rail Discount card. In the Rail Industry this is overseen by the Rail Delivery Group
  • To ensure safety and security
  • To provide additional assistance to you when you use our services, for example, for Passenger Assist which is a service offered by all Train Operators to help older and/or disabled passengers when travelling
  • To detect and prevent fraud and crime
  • To enhance your experience of our website, as described in our cookie policy
  • To run competitions, promotions and marketing exercises, and study the effectiveness of these

3. Sharing or disclosing your information

We will only share or disclose your information as set out in this Policy or in accordance with Data Protection Law and will obtain your consent where we are required to do so. We will only use third parties to process information where we are satisfied that they comply with these standards and can keep your data secure. We may share or disclose information for the following reasons:

  • We use data processors to provide or assist with some of our services. Where we do so, they must agree to strict contractual terms and to keep your data secure
  • Where we share data across our Group Companies, this is only in accordance with a written data sharing agreement
  • To run interoperable services- this includes use of some shared systems and processors, by the rail industry generally and overseen by the Rail Delivery Group
  • To respond to your complaints or administer requests you have made, either to us or another regulatory body such as the Department for Transport; Passenger Focus; the Rail Ombudsman, or other train operating companies;
  • To comply with requests from the police or other law enforcement agencies for the purposes of crime prevention or detection. These are dealt with on a case-by-case basis, to ensure that any disclosure is lawful;
  • Where we share data with law enforcement agencies or other Train Operating Companies for the purposes of preventing Anti-social behaviour, or in order to identify and help people deemed to be vulnerable
  • To comply with other legal obligations for example, relating to crime and taxation purposes or regulatory activity;
  • To protect our legitimate business interests, for example, for fraud prevention or revenue protection;
  • Where required as a result of the sale, merger, or acquisition of business assets. As the Railway Industry is run on a system of franchises, we are required to transfer our customer data to a successor franchise, or the Secretary of State, this is so that they can take over and continue the running of the railway service. In respect of information provided to us for marketing purposes only, to the Department for Transport and/or any successor operator of the rail franchise in order that they may contact you for marketing purposes in the event that we cease to operate this rail franchise;
  • If you have agreed to receive information for competition, promotion, survey or research purposes, we may share your contact details with a limited number of parties, but only for the reasons you have agreed to in the terms and conditions of the purpose;
  • Where you have consented, to share with other members of the Go-Ahead Group ltd (registered in England, company number 02100855) (“Go Ahead”), of which we are a member, where Go-Ahead has any services, promotions and offers which we feel may interest you;
  • We have a policy in place for one off sharing of data, such as a request from an insurance company.

4.5 Customer Help and Information Points

On our stations, we maintain Customer Help and Information Points and calls are linked directly to our Control Centre or to National Rail Enquiries. Calls are recorded and monitored, but no advance notice is given as this could result in a delay in providing assistance.


4.6 CCTV

Camera systems we operate

Our CCTV is used to capture, record and monitor images of what takes place at our stations, car parks and on our trains, in real time. In limited circumstances, we use body worn cameras which make audio visual recordings. Depending on the type of camera, images are recorded on video tape (analogue) or as digital information. Cameras can be fixed or set to scan an area. In some circumstances, they can be operated remotely by controllers. Why we operate CCTV cameras

We operate CCTV for the following purposes:

  • Health and safety of employees, passengers and other members of the public;
  • Crowd management; and
  • Prevention and detection of crime and anti-social behaviour

Camera locations

We operate cameras at the stations and car parks we manage and on some of the trains that we run. There are certain stations where our trains call at, but where we do not operate any CCTV cameras.

Network Rail operates CCTV cameras at the following stations:

  • London Bridge
  • Kings Cross
  • St Pancras International
  • Victoria
  • Clapham Junction

If you need to see images of yourself recorded by a CCTV camera at one of these stations, you will need to contact Network Rail.

Length of time CCTV footage is kept

CCTV footage at stations is generally held for a maximum of 28 days from the time of the recording. CCTV footage on trains can vary depending on the type and model of the train. On train CCTV footage may be held between 7 days and a maximum of 28 days from the time of recording

Disclosing personal data to the police

At our discretion, we may disclose personal data in response to valid requests from the police and other statutory law enforcement agencies.

Before we authorise any disclosure, the police have to demonstrate that the personal data is necessary to assist them in the prevention or detection of a specific crime, or in the apprehension or prosecution of an offender.

Requests from the police are dealt with on a case-by-case basis to ensure that any such disclosure is lawful in accordance with the Data Protection Law.

Sharing CCTV footage with other third parties

Some of our CCTV infrastructure is shared with the British Transport Police.

In certain agreed circumstances, they may take control of a limited number of cameras and use them for activities such as the prevention and detection of crime and anti-social behaviour, policing major events and crowd control. We are not responsible for the CCTV when it is in the control of a third party.

We may also disclose personal data to third parties, if required to by law or it is necessary for a legitimate purpose such as defending or bringing legal action. Data Protection Law allows us to do this where the request is supported by:

  • Evidence of the relevant legislation
  • A court order
  • Satisfactory evidence and assurances of a legitimate interest

Legitimate interest may include a request to assist in defending or making a legal claim, for example from insurers following a vehicle collision in a car park. When we are not required to provide CCTV, we will take into account the circumstances and any potential harm to individuals, we will also charge an administration fee and seek indemnity for any use beyond which it is requested.

CCTV on replacement buses

We use a number of companies to provide replacement buses during disruption or planned engineering. Any CCTV on these buses is the responsibility of the company that runs that particular service.

If you require access to images of yourself recorded by a CCTV camera inside a replacement bus, you should contact the company that operates the service. You can find this information from signage displayed inside each vehicle. 

External guidelines and best practice

We operate our CCTV systems in compliance with the CCTV Code of Practice issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office in 2014. The Code describes best practice standards which should be followed by organisations operating devices which view or record images of individuals. It also covers other information derived from those images that relates to individuals (for example vehicle registration marks).


5. Where we store your Personal Information

The information that we collect from you will be stored in the UK or a country which UK GDPR (see section 9)  has deemed provides an adequate level of protection (“permitted countries”)

Where your personal data is transferred from the UK to a recipient outside the UK in a country not recognised by the United Kingdom as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, such transfer shall be covered by a framework recognised by the relevant authorities or courts as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data including but not limited to Standard Contractual Clauses.


6. Information Security

We use a range of technical and organisational measures to safeguard access to and use of, your personal information and to ensure it retains its integrity and availability. These include structured access controls to systems, network protection, intrusion detection, physical access controls and staff training. We also consider anonymising or pseudonymising personal data where practical.


7. Your rights

Object to direct marketing

To prevent marketing to you, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you before collecting your information if we intend to use or disclose it for such purposes. If you do not want us to use your information for marketing purposes either:

  • Indicate this by NOT ticking the box to be sent marketing emails (or offers)
  • If you have an account with us, by logging in and changing your contact preferences;

You are entitled to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

Please contact us at privacy@gtrailway.com

We may need to ask for some further information, such as checking who you are. You can download and send this form which will help us deal with your request more efficiently.

Please let us know if you want to receive the information electronically.

We aim to get the information to you without undue delay and within one calendar month. If we have any trouble with this timeframe we will let you know within one calendar month and explain what the problem is. Sometimes we may hold information that we don’t have to provide, for example it would prejudice a police investigation or contains someone else’s personal data.

In most cases we provide the copy of your data to you for free. We have set out some information about when it might not be free, or provided below.

Rectification / restriction

If you believe the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete you can contact us and ask us to correct it. You may also request any data processing we are carrying out on your data is halted whilst a request for rectification or objection or a dispute over the lawfulness of processing is being considered.

Deletion – right to be forgotten

You can request deletion or removal of personal information in some circumstances, such as when there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.

We will provide a response to you without undue delay and within one calendar month, confirming whether/what personal data we have deleted and/or explaining why some data does not need to be deleted.

Withdrawal of consent

If we relied on consent as the ground for processing your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. It does not affect the processing carried out beforehand. You can withdraw consent by contacting Customer Relations, our Privacy team or the Group Data Protection Officer. Where you have consented to receive direct marketing communications, you can withdraw your agreement at any time by updating your preference centre or clicking on the appropriate link in the communication or contacting us as above.

Portability

Where you have provided us with personal data and the reasons we are processing it are based on consent or our contract with you, and the processing is automated, you have a right to ask for that information be provided to you or another data controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The right may be restricted if it is not practical for us to provide the information in this way or it adversely affects the rights of others.

If we are able to provide your personal data in this way, we will do so in one calendar month or we will let you know within one calendar month if we require more time or there are any issues with carrying out the request.

If you have registered a Key Smartcard then you will be able to access your journey information by logging on to your account.

Information about profiling and automated decision making

If you have signed up to receive marketing communications from us, we will use information such as the type of tickets you buy or the stations you use, to send communications which are more relevant to you. We will try and make the communications compatible with the device you are using.

We use automated decision making to calculate the validity and value of Delay Repay claims made through one of our brand websites and/or app. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the claim, you can request it to be manually reviewed by a member of the Delay Repay team. If you remain dissatisfied, you can escalate to our Customer Relations team.

How we deal with rights requests

We will try to deal with your request without undue delay and at least within one calendar month. In exceptional circumstances, we may need to extend the time to respond fully, if the request is particularly complex or there are multiple requests. But we will let you know within one calendar month.

We will not charge you a fee for dealing with rights requests unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive or in circumstances where copies have been provided previously. We would always let you know if we thought this was the case, so that you can make a decision about what you wanted to do next.

There are various limitations and exemptions in relation to the exercise of rights in Privacy Laws - for example if it would affect another person’s rights and freedoms or if we need to retain the information to make or defend a legal claim. We intend only to rely on limitations and exemptions where it is fair to do so and always bearing in mind that it is your personal data.

Complaints

If you are not happy with the way in which we deal with your data or have dealt with a rights request, then please let us know. Our Privacy team is the first point of contact for dealing with Rights Requests and complaints, and they are assisted by Customer Relations.
