General Data Protections

in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the
statutory provisions (GDPR, DSG). In this data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing
concerning our website.

Features explanations
a. Personal data (Article 4(1) GDPR)
The provisions of the GDPR apply to the processing of personal data of an identifiable persons.
By definition, “personal data” means any information relating to distinguish an identifiable natural person (“data subject”).
A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be distinguished from others, directly or indirectly, through certain elements of information. These elements may include a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social characteristics.

b. Processing (Art 4 Z 2 DSGVO)
By “processing”, the GDPR means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, with or without the use of automated processes, such as collection, assembly, organisation, classification, recording, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, utilisation, dissemination or otherwise to making available, combination, restriction, erasure or suppression.

c. Accountable (Article 4(7) GDPR) and contract process representative (Article 4(8))
“Responsable” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other entity which alone or with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; if the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
A “contract processing representative“ means a physical or legal person, public authority, agency or other entity that processes personal data as representative of the responsable.

d. Agreements
“Consent” of the person concerned means any expression of will, in the form of a declaration or any other clear affirmative act, expressed voluntarily, with full knowledge of the facts and without equivocation, for a specific case, by which the data subject indicates his/her agreement to his/her personal data being processed.

e. Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, as long as this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to guarantee that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable physical person.

Recording duration
The criterion for the duration of personal data storage is the corresponding legal safeguard period.
At the end of this period, the corresponding data is systematically deleted, as long as it is no longer required for the performance or activation of the contract.

Access data and log files collected by Internet service provider
Our Internet Service Provider collects the information provided by your Internet Service Provider.
Specially of the data collected through this website is personal data, including the name of the website, the date and time of access, the amount of data transmitted, the IP address assigned to you, the HTTP status code, information about the browser and operating system you are using and, in part, the “referrer” (the source page from which you arrived at the website or the current file).
If an evaluation is carried out automatically by the host, it is for statistical purposes only, and the individual user remains anonymous.
The collection of this data is also necessary to understand (possibly) abuses and therefore serves as a legal guarantee.

Our website uses so called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device with the help of the browser.
They do not cause any damage. Cookies store information such as your preferred language or other personal page settings.
Another example is the online store of a website: the cookie stores the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you remove them.
They allow us to identify your browser the next time you visit our website.

Newsletter
You have the opportunity to register for our newsletter via our website. To do this, we require your e-mail address and your confirmation (via an e-mail with a confirmation link) that you consent to receive the newsletter.
In order to provide you with target-oriented information, we also collect and process volunteered information on areas of interest, date of birth and zip code […]. This information is not necessary for reception of the newsletter.
At the moment you have registered for the newsletter, we will send you a confirmation e-mail with a link to confirm your registration (so-called double opt-in procedure).
The only reason for this is to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorised the receipt of our newsletter.
You can cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time. To do so, enter your e-mail address in the ‘Unsubscribe from newsletter’ box at www.bicycle.at/de/newsletter/. We will then promptly delete your data in connection with the newsletter distribution.

Third services providers
Third-party services are also used on our website.
Regarding these services, personal data may be used by the providers named below, which are not the responsibility of the provider of this website.
These services always require your IP address to be able to display the content, because without the IP address, the third-party providers would not be able to send the content to your browser.
We make every effort to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the respective content.
However, we have no control over this if the third-party providers record the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Third-party providers can also send cookies to your web browser. If we are aware of this, we will provide you with information about it.

YouTube/YouTube Lyte
YouTube components are integrated on this website. YouTube is a video platform on which users can post videos and make them available to the public.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
YouTube LLC has been a subsidiary of Google LLC or Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland since 2006.
YouTube videos are integrated using a two-click function:
The use of YouTube Lyte means that only a preview picture of the video is uploaded.
The video itself will not load until you have clicked the play button (mobile double-click).
However, YouTube’s privacy policy applies. In addition, the incorporated YouTube videos are automatically loaded from the domain youtube-nocookie.com (i.e. no cookies are set).
By clicking the play button, the browser on your device is induced to download a reproduction of the video from YouTube.
As part of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google are informed of the specific subpage you have visited on our website.
This data is usually transmitted and stored on Google servers in the USA.
We would like to call attention to that the same level of data protection cannot be guaranteed in the USA as within the EU.
If you are simultaneously logged into your YouTube account when you visit our website, this collected information can be assigned to your YouTube account by YouTube and Google.
This takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video on our site or not.
If you do not want this information to be forwarded to YouTube and Google, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.
You can find YouTube’s published privacy policy at:

Your rights
In principle, you have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and contradiction.
We only store your relevant data for the period required to achieve the purpose of storage or for the duration of legally stipulated storage periods (e.g. tax retention obligation of 7 years according to § 132 para. 1 BAO).
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been infringed in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority.
In Austria it is the data protection authority.
