  1. GENERAL NOTES AND MANDATORY INFORMATION

DATA PROTECTION

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

NOTE ON THE RESPONSIBLE ENTITY

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

Office: Hong Kong Grundig Mobility Technology Co., Limited
Office 5, 8/F mega cube 8 wang kwong road kowloon bay

Phone: +49 176 1139 0220
E-Mail: service@grundig-bike.com

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, or similar).

STORAGE PERIOD

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE LEGAL BASES OF DATA PROCESSING ON THIS WEBSITE

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of an explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

NOTICE ON DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA AND OTHER THIRD COUNTRIES

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not have adequate data protection laws. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AS WELL AS TO DIRECT MARKETING (ART. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

RIGHT TO COMPLAIN TO THE COMPETENT SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

INFORMATION, CORRECTION AND DELETION

You have the right at any time, within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, to receive free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – apart from their storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this page uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address bar of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser's address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

OBJECTION TO ADVERTISING EMAILS

The use of contact details published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as through spam emails.

  1. DATA COLLECTION ON THIS WEBSITE

COOKIES

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is performed by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

SERVER LOG FILES

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • used operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP Address

A merging of this data with other data sources is not carried out.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

CONTACT FORM

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

REQUEST BY EMAIL, PHONE OR TELEFAX

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all personal data arising from it (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

COMMUNICATION VIA WHATSAPP

For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from accessing the communication content. However, WhatsApp does have access to metadata generated during the communication process (e.g., sender, recipient, and time). We also point out that, according to WhatsApp's own statements, it shares personal data of its users with its parent company Meta, based in the USA. Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in the fastest and most effective communication possible with customers, prospects, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If the corresponding consent has been obtained, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent; it can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The communication content exchanged between and on WhatsApp remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

  1. PLUGINS AND TOOLS

YOUTUBE WITH ENHANCED DATA PROTECTION

This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the sharing of data with YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video or not.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. In the process, the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.

If applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is carried out in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the corresponding consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about data protection on YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

GOOGLE FONTS (LOCAL HOSTING)

This page uses so-called Google Fonts for uniform font display, which are provided by Google. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google's servers takes place.

For more information about Google Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

GOOGLE MAPS

This page uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. When Google Maps is activated, Google can use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform font display. When calling up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is carried out in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and easy findability of the locations we specify on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

More information on how to handle user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

5. Our activities on social networks

In order to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we have our own pages there. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered thereby, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

 

We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

Therefore, we proactively point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as the safeguarding of your rights, e.g., to information, deletion, objection, etc., could be more difficult, and processing in social networks often occurs directly for advertising purposes or to analyze user behavior by the providers, without this being influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is assigned to the social networks' own member profile created by you.

 

The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider, in order to communicate with you in a contemporary manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

 

Since we do not have access to the providers' data inventories, we point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g., to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in social networks and the possibility to exercise your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) is provided below for each social network provider we use:

  1. Web Analysis

6.1 Facebook Pixel (Custom Audience)

This website uses the "Facebook Pixel" from Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Meta"). In the event of explicit consent being given, this allows the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future advertising measures.

 

The collected data is anonymous to us and therefore does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta and its partners to place advertisements on and off Facebook. Furthermore, a cookie may be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

To disable the use of cookies on your IT system, you can configure your internet browser so that no cookies can be stored on your IT system in the future or that already stored cookies are deleted. Please note that these measures may result in not all functions of our internet offering being available. You can also disable the use of cookies by third parties such as Meta on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

In addition, you can disable cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes by setting an opt-out cookie via the following websites:

  1. https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
  2. https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/

Please note that this setting will be deleted if you clear your cookies.

 

6.2 Google Analytics

On our websites, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see section "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

1. the browser type/version,

2. the operating system used,

3. the referrer URL (the previously visited page),

4. the hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),

5. Time of the server request,

are transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these websites. These information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process these data on behalf. In no case will your IP address be combined with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that assignment is not possible (IP masking).

 

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, not all functions of this website may be fully usable.

 

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent tracking by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Disable Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is valid only in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.
