Privacy statement for Autonomous Buses

Whilst using our autonomous buses, we process two different types of personal data.

On the outside of the bus there are LiDAR sensors. These sensors capture a three dimensional image of the environment it is able to scan. Based on the scans by the LiDAR sensor, a three dimensional image might be seen by the sensor. The sensor can only see a silhouette of a person, but it doesn’t see a person like a typical camera. The LiDAR image of you is unlikely to lead to an identifiable image of you.

On the inside of the bus there is a security camera. This is a typical camera that captures a typical image and it can see all the passengers in the bus.

The LiDAR image is processed, because the bus needs these images to find the right path to its destination. When the LiDAR sensor recognises an object or a person, then the bus will react accordingly so that the object or person is avoided.

We process the camera images inside the bus so that we can ensure your safety inside the bus.

We process your personal data based on our legitimate interests.

We retain your personal data only inside the LiDAR sensor and the camera. We don’t retain any personal data outside of these devices. The images will not be stored longer than one month on both these systems.

The personal data will not be shared with other systems, applications or other organisations.

Schiphol doesn’t process process your personal data outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

Access to, amendment and deletion of your personal data
You have the right to know what personal data of your are processed by Schiphol. If we have not obtained the data directly from you, you also have the right to know from what source they derive and to receive a copy thereof.

If your personal data proves to be incorrect, you can ask us to amend your data. You can also request us to delete personal data and to discontinue their use.

Restriction of processing and right to transfer your data
If Schiphol, according to you, doesn’t process your personal data in a correct manner, then you can request a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

You can also ask us to transfer your digital personal data to you or to another party in a readable and usable form.

Lodging an objection
Naast een verzoek om verwijdering of beperking van de verwerking, kan je ook bezwaar maken tegen de verwerking van persoonsgegevens door Schiphol. Besides requesting or restriction of the processing of your personal data, you can also object to the processing of personal data by Schiphol. If you lodge an objection, we can temporarily discontinue or restrict the processing. If your objection is accepted, then we will definitively discontinue or restrict the processing.
