data processing principles

Below you can read how we process your data, where we save it, what security techniques we use and to whom the data is visible.

All items of information that refer to an identified or identifiable natural person are personal data. For example, this includes information such as your name, your age, your address, your telephone number, your date of birth, your email address, your IP address or the user behaviour. Information, with which we can make no reference (or only with a disproportionately large expense) to your person, e.g. by anonymising the information, is not personal data.

The processing of personal data (for example, collecting, questioning, using, storing, or transmitting) always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data are erased as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and legally stipulated retention obligations are no longer in effect. If we process your personal data for preparing specific offers, we will subsequently inform you concerning the specific procedures, the scope, and the purpose of the data processing, the legal basis for the processing and the respective storage duration.

Individual processing procedures

In the case of calling up and using our website, we collect the personal data automatically, which your browser transmits to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. When you use our website, we collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us, in order to display our website to you and to assure the stability and reliability.

– IP address of the requesting computer
– date and time of the access
– name and URL of the requested file
– website, from which the access takes place (referrer URL)
– browser used, terminal used, and, if appropriate, the operating system as well as the name of your access provider.

Article 6, paragraph 1, letter 1 GDPR serves as the legal basis for the specified data processing. The processing of the specified data is necessary for preparing a website and thus serves for supporting a justified interest of our company. As soon as the specified data are no longer necessary for displaying the website, they are erased. The recording of the data for preparing the website and the storage of the data in logfiles is absolutely required for the operation of the internet page. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Further storage can take place in individual cases, if this is legally stipulated. On our internet page, we offer users the possibility of purchasing goods with the specification of personal data. The data required for this are input into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. Transfer of the data to third parties does not take place.

The following data are collected within the framework of the ordering procedure:

– Salutation
– Name
– Address
– Telephone number
– Email address
– Payment information
– Type of shipping

Your data are transferred to the shipping company in charge of the delivery, in so far as this is necessary for delivery of the goods.

If you purchase goods on our internet page and enter your email address at that time, it may be used subsequently by us for sending a newsletter for our own similar goods or services. In processing your personal data  that are required for fulfilling a purchase agreement concluded with us, Art. 6, paragraph 1, letter b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies for processing procedures that are required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

With complete settlement of the agreement and complete purchase price payment, your data are stored for further use and erased after expiry of the legal tax and commercial law retention periods, if you have not expressly agreed to the further use of your data. Further storage can take place in individual cases, if this is legally stipulated.

No transfer of your data to third parties takes place in connection with the sending of the newsletter. We use the so-called double opt-in method for sending the newsletter, that is, we will send you the newsletter only if you confirm your request beforehand via a confirmation email sent to you for this purpose per link contained therein. Thus, we want to make sure that only you can subscribe to the newsletter yourself as holder of the indicated email address. Your confirmation concerning this must take place soon after receiving the confirmation email, since otherwise your newsletter subscription is automatically erased from our database. The processing of your email address, salutation, your date of birth, and the bicycle and news category of interest for you for sending the newsletter is based on Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a GDPR on the consent statement issued by you on the basis of a double opt-in.

Your email address is stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After cancellation of sending the newsletter, your email address is erased. Further storage can take place in individual cases, if this is legally stipulated. On our website we invite you to get in contact with us via a prepared form.

Within the framework of the procedure of sending your inquiries via the contact form, reference is made to this data protection statement for obtaining your consent.

If you make use of the contact form, the following personal data from you are processed via the contact form:
– Name
– Email address
– Address
– City
– Country
– Phone

The specification of your email address is so that your inquiry can be associated with you and that you can be answered. If the contact form is used, your personal data will not be transferred to third parties. The previously described data processing for the purpose of making contact takes place according to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a GDPR on the consent statement voluntarily made by you below:

Consent statement: with the entry of my data and the confirmation of the “send” button, I declare my consent that my email address and my name will be used for answering my contact inquiry. I can revoke the consent for the acquisition of the personal data acquired during the request procedure at any time. As soon as the inquiry made by you has been dealt with, and the matter concerned is finally clarified, your personal data processed via the contact form will be erased. Further storage can take place in individual cases, if this is legally stipulated.

We transfer your personal data to third parties only if: You have granted your express consent for this in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter a GDPR, this is legally permissible and required for fulfilling a contractual relationship with you in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter b GDPR, if there is a legal obligation for the transfer in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter c GDPR, the transfer is required in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f GDPR for supporting justified company interests as well as for enforcing, exercising, or defending legal claims and there is no basis for the assumption that you have an overwhelming interest in non-transfer of your data that is worthy of protection.
