1. Ticket data The Chip card saves the acquired season ticket, that is, what is the ticket type, for which tariff zone it is applicable and for how long. In all, up to eight current tickets and tickets expired recently can be saved. For the purpose of data economy, the old entries are overwritten one after the other from the ninth entry onwards.
2. Personal data All personal data is only used for purposes that help in smooth functioning of the eTicket-RheinMain process. So, in case of personal tariff products, like the personal annual ticket or the student ticket Hesse, the name of the holder in masked form as well as the date of birth and the gender are saved in the Chip of the eTicket RheinMain. Saving in masked form means that only the first letter of the first name and the last name are saved in clear text. In case of all transferable tariff products, only the data of the ticket is saved in the Chip but no personal data is saved.
3. Transaction data for reasons of transparency, the last 10 transactions (checking processes and ticket purchases) are saved on the Chip card. The eTicket RheinMain offers highest security to its users with respect to data protection.
Processing of personal data occurs in compliance with the applicable Data Protection Act of the State of Hesse (HDSG) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The data protection supervisory authorities have also been involved right at the time of developing the procedure. All data protection regulation requirements like transparency, data economy and deletion options are fulfilled. And you can be very sure: Forming personal movement profiles is excluded!

No, the cheaper tickets to Frankfurt are applicable only to the Frankfurt “district fare zones” (5001-5010, 5012 und 5059), which are close to the start location or the start tariff zone. If you would like your ticket to be valid in the entire city area including the airport, please inform the sales staff about the same or enter the destination no. "5000" into the vending machine. Due to the bigger territorial validity, the ticket price will consequently increase, however.
No, the journeys to the airport are not affected by these benefits. An exception is the journey between Schwanheim and the airport – now city price level 3, Frankfurt.
