Sect. 2 Data processing for the performance of contracts
(1) Purpose of data processing
Your personal data you provide us during the ordering process are necessary for the conclusion of a contract with us. You are not obliged to provide your personal data. However, we would not be able to send you the goods without your address. For some payment methods we ask for the necessary payment data in order to pass them on to a payment service provider commissioned by us. Hence, the processing of your data collected during the ordering process is soley for the purpose of contract performance.
If you send us a request by e-mail or by using the contact form, etc. before concluding the contract, we process the obtained data to carry out pre-contractual measures and answer your questions about e.g. our products.
(2) Legal basis
The legal basis for such processing is set out in Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR.
(3) Recipient categories
Payment service provider, shipping service provider, hosting provider, if necessary merchandise management system, suppliers if necessary (drop-shipping).
(4) Duration of Storage
We store the data required for contract execution until the statutory warranty and, if applicable, contractual warranty periods expire.
We store the data required under commercial and tax law for the statutory periods, generally ten years (cf. § 257 German Commercial Code (HGB), § 147 Regulation of Taxation (AO)).
The data processed for the execution of pre-contractual measures will be deleted as soon as the measures have been carried out and the contract cannot be concluded.

(1) Purpose of data processing
This website uses technically necessary cookies. These are small text files that are stored in or by your Internet browser on your computer system. These cookies enable, for example, the inserting of several products in a shopping basket.
(2) Legal basis
The legal basis for such processing is set out in Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

If you do not wish these cookies to be stored, please deactivate the use of cookies in your Internet browser. However, this may cause a functional limitation of our website. You can also delete persistent cookies at any time by changing your browser settings.
Sect. 6 Newsletter
We will only send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of a newsletter are specifically described within the scope of a registration, they are decisive for the consent of the users.
(1) Double-Opt-In and logging
The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary that nobody can log in with other e-mail addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Also the changes of your data stored with MailChimp are logged.
(2) Use of the dispatch service "MailChimp"
The newsletter is sent via "MailChimp", a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their further data described in this information, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp can use this data according to its own information to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes, in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write them down or pass them on to third parties. We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus commits itself to comply with EU data protection regulations. Furthermore, we have concluded a data processing agreement with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process them on our behalf in accordance with their data protection regulations and in particular not to pass them on to third parties. The data protection regulations of MailChimp can be viewed here.
(3) Registration details
To subscribe to the end customer newsletter, please enter your e-mail address, your first and last name and your preferred motorcycle brand. This information is used to personalise the newsletter and to adapt the contents of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.
To subscribe to the dealer newsletter, please enter your e-mail address, your first and last name and the name of your company. This information is used to personalise the newsletter and to adapt the contents of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.
(4) Statistical surveys and analyses
The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", this is a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our endeavour, nor that of MailChimp, to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.
(5) Online access and data management
There are cases where we forward the newsletter recipients to the website pages of MailChimp. For example, our newsletters contain a link with which the newsletter recipients can call up the newsletters online (e.g. in case of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, e.g. their e-mail address. Likewise, the data protection declaration of MailChimp is only available on their website. In this context we point out that cookies are used on the websites of MailChimp and thus personal data are processed by MailChimp, its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection.
Further information can be found in the data protection declaration of MailChimp. We would also like to draw your attention to the possibilities of objecting to the collection of data for advertising purposes on the websites www.aboutads.info/choices/ and www.youronlinechoices.com (for the European area).
(6) Cancellation/Revocation
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. At the same time your consents to its dispatch via MailChimp and the statistical analyses expire. A separate cancellation of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical evaluation is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. You can also simply unsubscribe by replying to a newsletter.
