This privacy policy describes which information is collected by us, how we use this data and with whom and under what conditions this data could be shared with third parties.

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are erased as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and legally stipulated retention obligations are no longer in effect.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.
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.

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.

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.
