The proper handling of your personal data is of particular concern to us.

It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. If you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

1 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS

The privacy policy of Bikeline GmbH is based on the terms used in the European data protection basic regulation (DSGVO). In the following, important terms are explained for easy reading and better understanding.

Personal data
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing’ is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

Profiling
“profiling” means any automated processing of personal data carried out in order to analyse, predict and process certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, such as job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, location or change of location

Recipient
Recipient’ means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not that person is a third party However, authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation, in accordance with Union or national law, shall not be considered as recipients.

2 LEGAL BASIS

Art. 6 I lit. a DSGVO serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DSGVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If vital interests of the person concerned or of another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f FADP. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail.

3 DATA COLLECTION

When you visit our website for information purposes, without using the contact form or newsletter registration, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a number of general data and information every time you or an automated system calls up a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files.

The following information is recorded without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:

the IP address of the requesting computer
the date and time of access
the name and the URL of the accessed file
the website from which the access takes place
the operating system of your computer and the browser you use
the name of your Internet access provider.

This data is collected and processed for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (connection establishment), to permanently guarantee system security and stability, to enable the technical administration of the network infrastructure and the optimisation of our Internet offer, as well as for internal statistical purposes. The IP address is only evaluated in case of attacks on our network infrastructure and for statistical purposes. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the above-mentioned purposes for data collection.

Furthermore, we use cookies and tracking tools when you visit our website. You will find explanations on this under No. 5 and No. 6 ff. of this data protection declaration. Information about the social plug-ins we use can be found in section 12.

Bikeline GmbH will inform you at any time on request about which of your personal data is stored. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data on request or notification, as long as this does not conflict with any legal storage obligations. All our employees are available to you as contact persons in this context.

3.1 Use of the contact forms

You can send order enquiries about our products and general enquiries using the contact forms provided on our website. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide your name, a valid e-mail address and telephone number, as well as details of the desired product and, if applicable, the desired individualisation in the case of order enquiries. Further information can also be provided voluntarily. If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. The personal data you provide voluntarily will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you. The legal basis for the storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless you decide to purchase a product and expressly consent to the passing on of the data for the purpose of processing the purchase.

The collection of this data is done in order to know from whom an inquiry originates and to be able to answer it in the way you want (by mail, telephone or e-mail).

3.2 Pasculli Newsletter

If you have voluntarily and explicitly registered for the Pasculli newsletter with your name and e-mail address, we will use your e-mail address to send you news about Pasculli.

We inform our customers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about special offers and innovations relating to the Pasculli brand. The newsletter can only be received by you if you have a valid e-mail address, have registered for the newsletter mailing list, and are using the double opt-in procedure (a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address you first registered for the newsletter mailing list. To complete the newsletter registration, click on the link contained in the email to confirm that you are the owner of the email address and have authorized the receipt of the newsletter) have confirmed your email address.

When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The legal basis for the storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the possible misuse of the e-mail address of a person concerned at a later date and therefore serves as a legal safeguard.

You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which you have given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. At the end of each newsletter, you will find a link with which you can cancel the newsletter at any time. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending an e-mail to info@bikeline.net.

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded pixel-code, we can see whether and when an e-mail was opened and which links in the e-mail were called up. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimise newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. You are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard using the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation these personal data will be deleted by Bikeline GmbH. A cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter is automatically interpreted as a revocation.

We use CleverReach for sending newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. With this service, we can organize and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter to receive the newsletter, such as your e-mail address, is stored on the CleverReach servers. Server locations are Germany or Ireland.

Sending the newsletter with CleverReach allows us to analyse the behaviour of the newsletter recipient. The analysis shows, among other things, how many recipients have opened their newsletter and with what frequency links in the newsletter were clicked. CleverReach supports conversion tracking in order to analyse whether a previously defined action, such as a product purchase, took place after clicking on a link. Details about data analysis by CleverReach can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). A revocation of your already granted consent is possible at any time. For the revocation, an informal notification by e-mail is sufficient or you unsubscribe via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing procedures already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

If you do not want CleverReach to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. To unsubscribe, just send us an informal e-mail or use the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted from our servers and the servers of CleverReach in case of cancellation. Should this data have been transferred to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us.

Details on the CleverReach privacy policy can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

7 PLUG-INS & OTHER SERVICES

7.1 Google Maps
On our website we use Google Maps from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service to visually present geographical information with interactive (land) maps.

We use the service to show our address and to offer you the option to plan your route to Bikeline.

When you access the sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google’s servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. If you are logged in at Google with your Google Account, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile on Google, you must log out before using interacting with Google Maps on our website. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in the insertion of personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google within the framework of the use of Google Maps, there is also the possibility of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot then be used.

You can view Google’s terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html. The additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

7.2 Google reCAPTCHA
We use the reCAPTCHA feature of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). This function is designed to protect our website, in particular to distinguish whether input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The service also includes the sending of the IP address and any other data required for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. This is done in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining the individual willingness to act on the Internet and to avoid abuse and spam.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA as well as Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

7.3 Google Tag Manager
Our website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookie-less domain that does not collect personal information.

Through this tool, “website tags” (i.e., keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) can be implemented and managed through an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have disabled it at the domain or cookie level, it will remain disabled for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

The use of Google Tag Manager is in the interest of a comfortable and easy use of our website. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

7.4 Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”) for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do this, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This may also involve the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. In this way, Google obtains knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the Google data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

9 SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS

We use social media plug-ins from the social networks Facebook and Instagram on our website. The responsibility for data protection compliant operation is to be guaranteed by their respective providers. The integration of these plug-ins by us is carried out in such a way that the data protection of the users is guaranteed as comprehensively as possible.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friendship requests, among other things

Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta Button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the user’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a part of the corresponding component of Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram is informed which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.

If you are logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram will recognize which specific subpage you have visited each time you access our website and for the entire duration of your stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the user. If you click on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transferred with it will be assigned to your personal Instagram user account and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram will receive information through the Instagram component that you have visited our website whenever you are logged in to Instagram at the same time you access our website, whether you click on the Instagram component or not. If you do not want this information to be sent to Instagram, you can prevent it from being sent by logging out of your Instagram account prior to accessing our website.
