Privacy policy

Collection, processing and use of your data

You can use our website without providing any personal data. We only store access data, such as the name of your internet service provider, the website from which you visit our site, or the name of the requested file on an anonymous basis. This data is used solely to improve our website and does not contain any references to your identity.

Personal data is only collected when you provide such data voluntarily when placing an order, opening a customer account or registering for our newsletter. Your data will only be used without your express permission for processing your order and for distributing our catalogues/mailings. When you register for our newsletter, we will use your e-mail address for advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

We will store your personal information insofar as is necessary for conducting business and to the extent permitted under the German Federal Data Protection Act (EU GDPR).

Transfer of personal data

We will only process personal data for order processing purposes and only transfer it to third-party service providers where necessary for this purpose. In order to provide delivery tracking information, we will transfer your email address to the parcel service for that purpose only. Thus, the parcel service may inform you about the current status of your delivery. The delivery tracking information is sent by e-mail. If you are resident in Germany and request for a purchase by invoice, a purchase by direct debit or purchase order financing, we may request a credit check on the basis of statistical methods from Creditreform Boniversum GmbH, 41460 Neuss, Germany (www.boniversum.de or www.meineauskunft.org) for the protection of our legitimate interests. For the purpose of this credit worthiness check, we'll transfer all personal data needed to the company Creditreform Boniversum GmbH, 41460 Neuss, Germany, and use the information we receive concerning the statistical likelihood of non-payment as the basis for deciding whether to enter a contractual relationship. The credit information may contain score values which are calculated on the basis of approved statistical methods and in the calculation of which address data etc. is also involved. Your interests will be protected in accordance with the legal requirements. We may only pass your data on to contractual partners and service providers with express notification, if necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations (e.g. orders or prize draws). Our contractual partners may not pass your data on to third parties for advertising purposes. They may exclusively use your data to fulfil their task.

Google Display Network

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.)

Use of Google +1 plugins

Our website uses the “+1” button of the Google Plus social network, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). This button is identified by a “+1” sign on a white or coloured background.

If you open a page of our website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Google's servers. The contents of the “+1” button are transmitted from Google directly to your browser and integrated into the website. We do not have any influence over the amount of data collected by Google via this button, but we assume that your IP address is stored.

The aim and extent of this data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and possible settings to protect your privacy can be found in Google’s +1 button privacy policy.

If you are a member of Google Plus and you do not want Google to collect information about you on our internet site and to link this with your membership data stored by Google, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our website.

Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge

We have integrated the Trusted Shops Trustbadge on this website in order to display our Trusted Shops Trustmark and offer the Trusted Shops products to customers after placing an order.
This serves the protection of our legitimate interests in the optimal marketing of our offer according to art. 6 (1) 1 lit f GDPR that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests. The Trustbadge and the advertised trust badge services are offered by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany.
With every use of the Trustbadge, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file which contains e.g. your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the request. Those access data are not analysed and are automatically overwritten no later than seven days after the end of your website visit.
Other personal data are transferred to Trusted Shops only if you decide to use or have already registered to use Trusted Shops products after placing an order. In such a case, the contract concluded between you and Trusted Shops applies.

EMAIL NEWSLETTERS AND ADVERTISING MAIL

With our free newsletter you can stay-up-to-date on our latest offers, customer events, prize draws and trade shows. We use the ‘double opt-in’ process for newsletter subscription, which means that we will only send you a newsletter, if you click the confirmation link in the confirmation email to confirm your subscription.
Please note that we need your email address for subscription. You will only receive a personalised newsletter, if you share your personal data when registering as a new customer. We only ask for your title and name to personally address you in the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time. You can find a respective unsubscribe link in every newsletter email. 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. In this way, we try to continuously improve our newsletter and to provide you with more individual topics about ROSE Bikes.
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. You may unsubscribe from receiving advertising mail or magazines by phone or in writing.
