Analytics

We may collect and process  information about your use of the Website or Booking Service, such as some of the pages you visit and some of the searches you perform.  When we collect this information it will be your personal data because it all links to your IP address.  We will ask you for consent to set the analytics cookies relevant to this.  Then after that we will use a pseudonym and continue to process it for our legitimate interest of us better understanding our website users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like) and this enables us to build and maintain our website service better for the benefit of all users.  Such information is used by us to help us improve the contents of the Website or Booking Service and to compile, for internal market research purposes, aggregate statistics about individuals using it. Please see Section 3, 'Cookies' for more information on our use of cookies. We may also share anonymous information about your use of the Booking Service with third parties for analytical purposes.

Information we collect about you

With regard to each of your visits to either www.northernrailway.co.uk or www.buytickets.northernrailway.co.uk or if you register to use our Wi-Fi services we may automatically collect the following information;

  • Technical information, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform.
  • Information about your visit, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from our sites (including date and time); products you viewed or searched for; page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page and any phone number used to call our customer service number

Information we receive from other sources

Publicly available sources: We also collect your personal data from other organisations and sources, including publicly available sources, for example when you contact us through a social media company such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Instagram. Before providing personal data to us via these channels, you should check these companies’ privacy policies and settings to understand how they use your personal data.

Law enforcement agencies/rail station operators: We may also obtain or collect your personal data from law enforcement agencies (including the police and the British Transport Police) and from rail station operators if you are involved in any incidents when you are on our trains or otherwise at the train stations from where we operate our rail passenger services.

Collection from Arriva Rail North Limited: We (Northern) have taken over the rail franchise from Arriva Rail North Limited (as mentioned in either emails or letters to you (as relevant) and in all cases this information is on the Northern website). This means that we will have lawfully obtained your personal data from Arriva Rail North Limited if you were an active customer, hold an open season ticket and/or if you have provided consent to receive marketing communications from Northern Trains Limited. If you have open or active enquiries or complaints (not necessarily as a passenger) in relation to Arriva Rail North Limited, we will have received your personal data in order that we can manage these matters on behalf of Arriva Rail North Limited.

Collection via CCTV (and/or body-worn cameras). When your image is captured on CCTV (or body-worn camera) on our trains or in rail stations we will be able to view that image. More details below on this.

We may sometimes use other sources of information about our customers and prospective customers where you've given your permission for your data to be shared. We do this to help us understand more about our customers, to ensure that our messages are relevant, and to make sure that the marketing information we send you, with your consent, is also relevant. We take great care in sourcing this information, but if you prefer us not to use your data in this way, please let us know by contacting us as set out a Section 11.

We carry out general profiling such as segmentation for the purpose of providing you with a more relevant experience and for the purposes of our legitimate interests as a commercial organisation. Segmentation is never used in any way that produces a legal or similarly significant effect, is never based on sensitive personal data, and we make efforts to ensure any profiling is non-discriminatory.

Sensitive personal data

We will not intentionally or systematically seek to collect, store or otherwise use information about you classed as ‘special categories of data' or 'sensitive data' (for example, information relating to any trade union membership, ethnic origin or health) except as detailed below.

If you need help with things like getting on and off a train, you may choose to give us confidential information about medical conditions and the type of assistance you require.  All UK train companies use a system called Passenger Assist to book help on stations and on trains for all services. This makes sure that if you book help in advance, our staff on stations and on the trains know that you're travelling, where you are seated on the train, any connections you have to make, and the help you need.  You have the option to save those assistance details to your account, and can edit or remove them at any time.

If you commit or are suspected of committing or are the victim of a fraud or other crime or other serious incident on our trains or in railway stations or in relation to your delay repay claim or ticket purchase we will process information about that too in relation to you.

CCTV information

We employ CCTV on our trains and in our stations in order to:

  • prevent, deter and detect crime
  • apprehend and prosecute offenders, and provide evidence to take action in the courts
  • help provide a safer environment for our staff
  • protect public safety
  • monitor operational and safety-related incidents
  • assist with the verification of claims.

You have the right to make a request for access to CCTV images of yourself and to ask for a copy of them – as well as other rights as set out at Section 11. 

We reserve the right to withhold information where permissible by the applicable data protection laws, and we will only retain CCTV images for a reasonable period (this means 28 days or less) or for longer as is required by law or to protect our own legitimate interests. For more details please see below. In certain circumstances, we may need to disclose CCTV images to law enforcement agencies. When this is done, there is a statutory requirement for the organisation that has received the images to adhere to the relevant data protection laws.

 

3. Cookies

Our site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our sites. For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them see our Cookie Policy.

 

4. How we use your personal data and the legal basis for such processing?

The collection of some of the personal data described in Section 2, “What personal data do we collect?” is mandatory if you wish to be a passenger and, if such personal data is not provided, we will not be able to provide the information, products and services to you. Where the collection of any personal data is not mandatory, we will inform you of this prior to collection, as well as the consequences of failing to provide the relevant personal data.

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally process your personal information only:

  • Where we have your consent to do so.
  • Where the processing is necessary to perform our contract with you.
  • Where the processing is necessary for the exercise of our public task. As a public sector operator, our public task derives from section 30 of the Railways Act 1993 which requires us to provide, or secure the provision of, services for the carriage of passengers by railway where a franchise agreement in respect of the services is terminated or otherwise comes to an end but no further franchise agreement has been entered into in respect of the services.    
  • Where the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party and are not overridden you by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms – please note that we can rely on this processing ground when we are processing personal data for a legitimate reason other than performing our tasks as a public authority– this is why for example we mention in section 2 our legitimate interests of using information collected by cookies to enable our website to provide a better service to its users.
  • Where we have a legal obligation to process your personal information.
  • Where it is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or those of another natural person: If it is necessary for us to use and share your sensitive information with law enforcement agencies, next of kin who can be identified or medical professionals in order to protect your vital interests (for instance in an emergency situation where you are taken ill on a train or in a station or when a major incident has occurred), we will do so.
  • Reasons of substantial public interest: If it is necessary for us to use and share your sensitive personal data with law enforcement agencies, next of kin who can be identified or medical professionals, for substantial public interest reasons, we will do so; likewise in order for us to adhere to and deal with the system called Passenger Assist to book help on stations and on trains for all services; likewise in order for us to know information about fraud or other crimes or other serious incidents on our trains or in railway stations or in relation to your delay repay claim or ticket purchase.
