BERKELBIKE B.V. WEBSITE AND ONLINE SERVICES PRIVACY POLICY

 

1. Sites covered by this Privacy Policy
BerkelBike (BB) is an organization with business processes that cross borders. This Privacy Policy applies to all BerkelBike-owned websites and domains ("BB website"), except that a privacy policy or statement posted on BB websites specific to a particular BB service will apply instead of this Privacy Policy.

 

Links to non-BB websites
The BB website may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the BB website. BB does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from BB's practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by the BerkelBike Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information.

 

2. Collection of personal information
To serve you better and understand your needs and interests, BB collects, exports, and uses personal information with adequate notice and consent, along with required filings with data protection authorities, when applicable. For example, when you order products or services, request information, subscribe to marketing or support materials or participate in surveys, we will ask you to provide personal information to complete these transactions. The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include contact information such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address; financial information such as your credit card number; and other unique information such as user IDs and passwords, billing and transaction information, product and service preferences, contact preferences and information about your medical condition.

 

In addition to the information you provide, BB may also collect information during your visit to a BB website through our Automatic Data Collection Tools, which include Web beacons, cookies, embedded Web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at a BB website. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, clickstream behavior (i.e. the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with BB websites) and product information. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers use IP addresses to communicate on the Internet, allowing users to browse and shop. BB may also use some of these Automatic Data Collection Tools in connection with certain emails sent from BB and therefore may collect information using these tools when you open the email or click on a link contained in the email. BB also collects information from commercially available sources that it deems credible. Such information may include your name, address, email address and demographic data. The information BB collects from its commercial sources may be used along with the information BB collects when you visit BB’s websites. For example, BB may compare the geographic information acquired from commercial sources with the IP address collected by Automatic Data Collection Tools to derive your general geographic area.

 

3. How we use your information
The information BB collects to understand your needs and interests helps BB deliver a consistent and personalized experience. For example, BB may use your information to

 

- assist you in completing a transaction or order;
- communicate with you about products and services;
- provide service and support;
- update you on new services and benefits;
- provide personalized promotional offers;

4. How we share your information
BB will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others except as described in this Policy. BB shares personal information in the following ways: BB retains service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions and to assist BB with marketing and communication initiatives. These providers and suppliers include, for example, credit card processors, providers of customer support and live-help, email service providers, automated data processors, and shipping agents. Suppliers and service providers are required by contract to keep confidential the information received on behalf of BB and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for BB.

 

Except as described in this Policy, BB will not share the personal information you provide to BB with non-BB third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of BB or its subsidiaries; or (iv) protect the personal safety of BB employees and third parties on BB property.

 

Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, BB decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is BB’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

 

5. Your choices and selecting your privacy preferences
