When you visit one of our websites, information from your browser is automatically sent to our server. We only need this information to ensure that you can access our site properly. This relates to the following information, which we temporarily store in a so-called log file until it is automatically deleted:
● IP address of your computer,
● Date and time of your access,
● Name and URL of the file you have retrieved,
● Website from which you gain access (referrer URL),
● The browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.
We will only process this data in order to make your visit to our website as simple as possible for you from a technological point of view, specifically:
● to ensure a smooth connection to our website,
● to ensure that you can use our website in comfort,
● to evaluate how secure and robust the system is and
● for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for processing data is Art. 6 Para. 1 (1) (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under no circumstances will we use the data collected to identify you as an individual.
We also use our website cookies and analysis services when there is a visit to our website.
Having an account with bc means you can order even more easily and quickly. You will have all your orders, account and user data, your address book, password, newsletter subscription and your reviews at your fingertips.
To ensure that you can also use and access your account benefits, we store your registration data with each log-in in addition to the data mentioned under 2.:
● Date and time of your log-in
● First name and surname
● Password
● Our current terms and conditions
We take care of your data, which is why our registration form is so encrypted that the data entered there cannot be viewed by third parties. Of course, you always have the right to change your log-in data.
We process your data strictly in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (1) (b) of the GDPR and we need this data in order to be able to process your orders and subscriptions properly, as well as to mutually fulfil obligations arising from our order contracts.
If you place an order with us while you are logged in, we will store the data for as long as is set out under 4. If you were logged in without placing an order, we will store your registration data for as long as, from experience, we would expect you to place an order, but not for longer than three months.
We will make sure that you receive all you need for your escooter as soon as possible. And this is why we need data.
You can order from us either by using a customer account so that we store the data set out under 2. and 3. in order to process your order or you can order as a guest, meaning we will only store the data set out under 2. and the data from our order form. To prevent third parties from viewing your data, we have also encrypted our order form. To process your order, we store the following information:
● Title, first name, surname,
● Email address
● Address
● Phone number (if specified)
● Date and time of the order
● Ordered goods
● Information about the payment method
We also save the text of the contract and our general terms and conditions in force at the time the contract is concluded.
Why do we need this data:
● To make sure that you are our customer,
● To be able to deliver the ordered goods to you and to be able to fulfil the contract,
● To issue you with your invoice,
● To process our entitlements to payment from you and to assert any other claims against you and
● To keep you informed about your order.
Your data will be processed at your request and is required in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (1) (b) of the GDPR for the purposes outlined for our mutual fulfilment of the obligations arising from the sales contract.
We store the data that we collect for the purposes of processing the sales contract until the statutory period of limitation has expired (three years after the end of the calendar year in which the claim arose and we became aware of the circumstances substantiating the claim and of your identity or would have become aware without gross negligence, Section 199 Para. 1 of the BGB (German Civil Code)). After that we delete it, unless we are obliged to store it for longer in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 (1) (c) of the GDPR due to retention and documentation requirements under tax and commercial law (arising from the HGB (German Commercial Code), StGB (German Penal Code) or AO (German Fiscal Code)) or you have consented to your data being stored for a longer period in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (1) (a) of the GDPR.
We will send your email address and phone number (if provided) to the delivery company. The company will inform you about the shipment status. In this case, the company acts as an independent responsible party. Our legitimate interest in this transfer is to enable you to receive your order as quickly as possible, transparently and without any problems. You can object to the transfer of data by contacting us directly.
As our customer, you will receive recommendations for products from our shop as well as customer surveys via email (hereinafter referred to as “mailings”). You will receive some of these mailings regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter. We have received your email address from you as part of your purchase in our online shop. We use this for our product recommendations. In the mailings you will find the latest information about products from our range that you might be interested in based on your recent purchases with us. If you no longer wish to receive mailings from us, you can object to this at any time. To do this, simply click on the unsubscribe link included in every mailing we send. When unsubscribing, it is possible to unsubscribe only from specific mailings or from all categories of mailings. The legal basis for sending mailings can be found in Art. 7 para. 3 UWG (Act Against Unfair Competition) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In the case of mailings requiring consent, these will only be sent if you have given your consent (e.g. newsletter subscription).
In addition, we use services and functions for web surveys on our website. The order ID, breakpoint, guest or registered user, survey responses and the email address are collected. The purpose of conducting surveys on our website is our legitimate interest in responding efficiently to customer enquiries and in checking satisfaction with our products and the website.
6.2 Trustpilot
We use the Trustpilot review platform on our website. This service is provided by Trustpilot A/S, Pilestræde 58, 5,1112 Copenhagen, Denmark. If you have given consent to being sent newsletters or have given separate consent for being contacted for feedback, you will receive a request from us or Trustpilot to leave a review on Trustpilot. If there is an exception in accordance with the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG), we will send you a request to leave a review on the basis of our legitimate interests.

We collect your e-mail address when you sign up for our newsletter. This is necessary in order to be able to send you the newsletter. After subscribing, you can voluntarily tell us your first name, date of birth and interests (mountain biking, road biking, gravel biking). In addition to storing the required e-mail address when you sign up for the newsletter, we store the IP address which you used to subscribe, as well as the date and time of registration and confirmation, in order to be able to trace possible misuse at a later date. We also collect information regarding your selected language and the country you are logging in from via your browser.
We use the double opt-in method for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you our newsletter by e-mail if you confirm your subscription. In the first step, you will receive an e-mail with a link that you can use to confirm that you, as the owner of the corresponding e-mail address, would like to receive future newsletters. By confirming, you give us your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO that we may use your personal data for the purpose of sending the newsletter as requested.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link included in each newsletter or by e-mail. After unsubscribing, your e-mail address will be immediately deleted from our distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to the continued use of your collected data or if continued data processing is permitted by law.
Our e-mail newsletters are distributed via Optimizely from service provider Episerver GmbH, Wallstraße 16, 10179 Berlin (“Optimizely”), to whom we pass on the data you provided during registration for the purposes of sending the newsletter, displaying interest-based content and anonymised statistical analysis and the reach measurement on our behalf. You will receive our newsletter after you have given your consent via the double opt-in procedure according to art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Processing is carried out for statistical analysis purposes, namely how often are newsletters are read as well as the optimisation of our e-mail advertising. We record when you read our newsletter, which browser you use, your IP address and which links you click on in the newsletter. We also use the data from your last purchases to better adapt the newsletter to your interests and make it more relevant for you.
If you have any questions, such as about your order or one of our items, we are always happy to help you via email. You can, of course, also contact us via our contact form.
