Use of Facebook plugins

www.rosebikes.com uses Facebook social plugins for a more personalized shopping experience. Among others, we use the "LIKE" button. This is an offer provided by the American company Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA).

When you visit a page of www.rosebikes.com that contains a plugin, your browser establishes a connection to Facebook and the content is loaded by Facebook. It may therefore be possible for Facebook to track your visit if you have a Facebook account or have already visited a page with Facebook social plugins. Facebook also gathers information about you directly when you use such a social plugin (for example by clicking the LIKE button). This is necessary so that the information can be shared with your friends. ROSE Bikes has no influence over the content of the plugin and the transfer of information to Facebook.

Facebook's privacy policy provides detailed information about the amount, type, purpose and further processing of your data (Facebook privacy policy). This policy also contains information about your rights and options for protecting your privacy on Facebook.

You can prevent Facebook from collecting information about you during your visit to www.rosebikes.com by logging out of Facebook and deleting any cookies. (You will find more information about cookies here.)

Alternatively, you can get in touch with us using the provided contact data. By confirming your newsletter subscription, you also agree to the analysis of your newsletter usage behaviour. For the analysis of such usage data, our emails have an embedded tracking pixel to track open rates. A tracking pixel is an image file measuring one pixel by one pixel and creating a link to our website to allow us to analyse data on the usage of the newsletter. Therefore, we use the data entered for newsletter subscription as well as the tracking pixels that are assigned to your email address and linked to a unique ID. This data is combined with data about your use of our website.
To make sure the newsletter is displayed correctly, we collect information about the kind of device you use to open the newsletter. Based on the links you click and the open rates of the newsletter emails, we can determine which topics you are interested in. The data collected serves to create personal user profiles.

The information collected is stored by the newsletter provider Inxmail GmbH, Wentzingerstr. 17, 79106 Freiburg, Germany (“Inxmail”) on their server in Germany. The tracking mechanism is not supported when images are disabled in your emails by default. However in this case, the newsletter is not displayed correctly and you may not be able to use all functions. If you manually click on ‘display images’, tracking is supported, unless you have objected to the analysis of usage data. The legal ground for processing personal data is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1) of the GDPR. You may object to the analysis of your newsletter usage data in writing at any time. Simply use the contact information provided.
In addition, our customers will automatically receive our customer magazine and further offer mailings by post.
