This Data Privacy Notice explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (including communication by e-mail) may involve security vulnerabilities. Complete and absolute protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. 

Note on the Controller
The Controller or entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

Bikeleasing-Service GmbH & Co. KG
Ernst-Reuter-Straße 2
37170 Uslar
Phone: +49(0) 5571 9168231
E-mail: info@bikeleasing-service

The Controller is the natural or legal person who determines alone, or jointly with others, the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses and so forth).

Retention period
Unless a more specific retention period has been set forth within this Data Privacy Notice, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing such data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible or mandatory reasons for retaining your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing shall be subject to Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Note on the transfer of data to the USA and other third countries
The tools we use include tools supplied by companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not deemed secure under data protection law. When such tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please be aware that no level of data privacy protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed for these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against such measures. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (including intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. Such processing activities are beyond our control. 

Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work together with various external organisations. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external organisations. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in passing on data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the passing on of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations and procedures are permissible only with your express consent. You are free to revoke your consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until your revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING IS SPECIFIED IN THIS DATA PRIVACY NOTICE. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR WHERE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (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 RELATING TO YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. THE SAME APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS PERFORMED IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (RIGHT TO OBJECT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority
In the event of any breaches of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically – subject to your consent or for the fulfillment of a contract – handed over to you 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 technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion
Subject to the pertinent legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. In this regard, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, feel free to 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. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of a major public interest of the European Union or one of its member states.

SSL or TLS encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for protecting the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon displayed in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising e-mails
The use of contact data, published within the framework of the legal notice obligation, for the delivery of advertising content and information material not expressly requested is hereby prohibited. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited delivery of advertising and related content such as spam e-mails.

Meta Pixel (formerly known as Facebook Pixel)
This website uses the Facebook/Meta visitor action pixel for conversion tracking. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. This allows the behavior of page visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of the Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized. The data thus collected remains anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we are not able to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a link to the respective user profile may be established and Facebook may use this data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://facebook.com/about/privacy/). This allows Facebook to enable the placement of advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. Such use of data is beyond our control as the site operator. The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Art. 25 (1) TDDDG. Any such consent may be revoked at any time. We use the advanced matching feature within Meta Pixels. Advanced matching allows us to transmit to Meta (Facebook) various types of data (e.g. city of residence, federal state, zip code, hashed email addresses, names, gender, date of birth, or phone number) of our customers and prospects that we collect via our website. This activation allows us to more precisely tailor our advertising campaigns on Facebook to people who are interested in our offerings. In addition, the enhanced matching improves the assignment of website conversions and extends Custom Audiences.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described herein and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for such data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). This joint responsibility is limited to the collection and forwarding of data to Facebook. The processing by Facebook following the transfer is not part of our joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement addendum. You can find this agreement addendum at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement addendum, we are responsible for providing the data privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for the data privacy compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data privacy compliance of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward these to Facebook. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.

By means of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we obtain information about the visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze things such as key professional data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors, enabling us to better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight tags to track whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take any other action (conversion tracking). Conversion tracking works across multiple devices (e.g., from PC to tablet). Also, the LinkedIn Insight tag provides a retargeting feature that enables us to display targeted off-site advertising to visitors to our website. According to LinkedIn, this is done without any identification of the advertising addressee. LinkedIn itself also collects a number of log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct IDs of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days. The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be associated with specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it in the context of its own advertising measures. For details, refer to the LinkedIn privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

YouTube with extended data privacy
This website draws on videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established, telling the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, YouTube may save various cookies on your terminal device after starting a video or may use similar identification technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used for purposes such as collecting video statistics, improving the user experience, and preventing fraud attempts.
