We process data when people get in contact, use our services (e.g. register for our newsletter), as well as visit our website. Personal data is only used and processed by us for the purpose for which you supplied it, either by your consent or in order to fulfil our contractual obligations. In addition, data processing is carried out in order to safeguard our legitimate interests.
The processing of your data may also take place by other departments within Riese & Müller GmbH. In some cases, we also make use of external service providers for processing. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked.
We record your visits to our website. In doing this, the following data is processed: Name of the website visited in each case, date and time of the visit, the volume of data transferred, browser type as well as version, the operating system you use, the referrer URL (of the website you visited directly before), your IP address and the requesting provider. We collect this data on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1) f) GDPR.
If you get in contact with us using one of our contact forms or via email, your details will be used exclusively for the purpose of processing and resolving your query. The subject’s data are: Your email address, surname, first name, subject, message as well as other optional data you have entered. This data is processed by us on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1) a) GDPR.
If you register a bike with us after purchase, we will store your data for the purpose of providing the warranty service. From 1 September 2018 this data will be linked to an account to which you will assign a password yourself. This will allow you to view, modify and delete your data at a later date. Data affected are: your email address, full name, subject, message and other data given optionally. If registering a warranty, your address, dealer, frame number, serial number, purchase date and purchase price will also be stored. We will process this data on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
In order to receive press releases by email, you can register for our press mailing list. When registering for the press mailing list we use the data you have provided. The subject’s data are: Your email address, surname, first name, editor, as well as other optional data you have entered.
Inclusion in the press mailing list occurs exclusively on the basis of your prior consent in accordance with Article 6(1) a) GDPR.

When registering for the newsletter we use the data you have provided. The subject’s data are: Your email address, surname, first name as well as other optional data you have entered.
The newsletter is sent using the MailChimp service provided by Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, headquartered in the USA. Your email address, surname and first name, as well as other optional data you have provided are stored on MailChimp servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp may, according to its own statements, use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation of the mailing and the presentation of the newsletter or to determine from which countries the recipients come. MailChimp does not, however, use your data to contact our customers itself, nor does it pass the data on to third parties.
You can find further information on data protection at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. In order to maintain the European level of data protection “The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp” has been certified under the privacy shield agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active.
Sending of the newsletter occurs exclusively on the basis of your prior consent in accordance with Article 6(1) a) GDPR. If you are under 16 years of age, the registration for the newsletter requires the consent of your legal guardian.
Registration for our newsletter is carried out according to the so-called double opt-in procedure. In order to prevent fraudulent activity, we send you an email after registration, asking you to confirm your registration. In order to prove that the registration process has occurred in accordance with legal requirements, the newsletter registration will be recorded. This also includes storing the time of the registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes are recorded by the newsletter service provider employed by us.
You can withdraw consent to receive the newsletter by email at any time. At the end of every newsletter there is also a link for withdrawing consent. If you have registered purely for our newsletter and have then cancelled this registration, your personal data will be erased.
We have, however, implemented a solution which means your consent is required before data is transferred. You can provide this at the bottom of the page or in the dealer search itself. This means that the above-mentioned data is only sent to the Google server and relevant data (including map displays) is loaded from there after your consent has been obtained. Data is only transferred in this context if you have also chosen to use the dealer search function. If not, you can use the page search to find a dealer by another means. The results are displayed on the basis of your prior consent in accordance with Article 6(1) a) GDPR.
You can find further information on how Google uses data and may share it with third parties in the Google data protection statement, under the following link: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

This data will be deleted if an application is unsuccessful; if an application is successful, the data is transferred to your personnel file.

Our employees, as well as all external parties, are bound by their respective contractual obligations and data protection rules to treat your personal data confidentially.

The right to information, erasure, blocking, correction or transfer to another company of this data is only possible if you make additional information available to us which allows us to identify the data.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. Data used for the purposes of accounting and bookkeeping is not affected by termination/withdrawal of consent or erasure. Your withdrawal of consent shall not affect the legality of the prior processing.

As you may know, the Court of Justice of the European Union (“ECJ”) recently ruled that Facebook and operators of Facebook pages are jointly responsible for data processing for purposes of data protection law (ECJ, Judgment of 05/06/2018); for more information, see http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=202543&pageIndex=0&doclang=DE&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=298398).
To the extent we are able to do so, the purpose of this Privacy Notice is to inform you about how personal data is processed when you use our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/rieseundmueller/ “(“Fan Page”).
We use the “Facebook Insights” function provided by Facebook as the operator of the Fan Page. Facebook Insights provides us with statistical data from Facebook (e.g. total number of page views, “Like” information, page activity, etc.). This statistical data is only transmitted to us in anonymous form, i.e. we cannot associate this data with any particular visitor to our site, nor do we have access to the data on which the statistics are based.
Facebook stores cookies on devices you use to view the Fan Page so that Facebook is able to provide us with this information. These cookies are small text files that contain a unique user code. The cookies are active for a period of two years, unless you delete them at an earlier time. To the best of our knowledge, Facebook uses data collected by the cookies to provide you with advertising and to enable Facebook-affiliated companies and other advertising partners of Facebook to provide advertising as well.
Facebook also uses data collected by Facebook for market research and advertising purposes, in particular to analyse your behaviour, to create user profiles and to provide personalised advertising (including on behalf of third companies).
We do not share your data with third parties. We cannot rule out the possibility that Facebook may transmit personal data to Facebook Inc. based in the United States, or other companies outside the EU, where it may be subject to further processing, and the associated risks for data subjects. Facebook Inc. is certified under the so-called “Privacy Shield” and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection regulations. You may find information about Facebook’s Privacy Shield status here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active.
We maintain this Fan Page to promote our products and to communicate with you. Personal data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in effective communication and interaction with users as well as the ideal presentation of our products and services.
From a practical standpoint, the most effective means of requesting information or asserting any other data subject rights is to communicate directly with Facebook as the provider of the platform. This is also bolstered by the agreement we concluded with Facebook and the fact that only Facebook has direct access to the information and the database from which the statistics transmitted to us are compiled. You may contact us at any time should our support be necessary.
Upon request, you have the right to obtain from us at any time information about personal data we have processed that concerns you within the scope of Art. 15 GDPR. You can submit such a request by post or e-mail to the address given below.
You have the right to ask us to rectify your personal data without undue delay if it is inaccurate. You may submit such a request using the contact details provided below.
Subject to the requirements set out in Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request that we erase your personal data. In particular, these conditions provide for a right of erasure if personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, or in cases of unlawful processing, the submission of an objection or if the data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which we are subject. To exercise your right to erasure, please use the contact details provided below.
Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request us to restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met: This right applies, in particular, if the accuracy of the personal data is disputed between the user and us, for the period of time required to verify the accuracy, and in the event that the user requests a restriction of processing instead of erasure in the case of an existing right to erasure; or in the event that the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued by us, but the user requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and if the user has objected to processing, pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override those of the user. To exercise your right to restriction of processing, please use the contact details provided below.
Pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to obtain your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. To exercise your right to data portability, please use the contact details provided below.
Pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out, among other things, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. We will cease the processing of your personal data, unless we can establish compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
You have the right to withdraw your consent pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR with future effect. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authorities.
We maintain an online presence on the Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/riesemuller/?hl=en) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7IPIhyMOUzKIDrRv1XpMJA) platforms.
A. Our own processing of personal data from these online platforms (user comments, news, page statistics) is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, in order to inform you about our goods and service, to make contributions more user-friendly, to determine the correct time for publication and to communicate with customers, potential customers and users who are active on these platforms. We have no influence on any additional processing by the respective providers.
B. Furthermore, user data is generally processed by the provider for market research and advertising purposes. Thus, for example, user profiles can be created from user behaviour and the associated user interests. The user profiles can, in turn, be used, for example, to display advertisements that presumably correspond to the interests of the users both within and outside of the platforms. To this end, cookies are usually stored on the user’s computer that contain the user’s usage behaviour and interests. Furthermore, data can also be stored in user profiles separate from the devices used by the respective user (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in).
C. When accessing the respective online platform, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of the respective provider, over which we have no control, apply. Data may also be processed outside the European Union.
D. For a detailed description of the respective processing and the opportunities to object (opt-out), please refer to the information made available by the respective providers indicated below.
E. Please note that requests for information and the assertion of user rights may be directed most effectively to the providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. You may nevertheless contact us should you need further assistance.
F. The Instagram/Facebook Privacy Officer can be reached via the contact form at https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970.
