The copyright of such content belongs to its author, who warrants such authorship. However, sending us this content or placing it on our website or social media channels implies the assignment of the right to reproduce and publish this content, with the author reserving their right to exploit it in any way that does not conflict with the normal exploitation of the work by the aforesaid means.

- The sender warrants that they are the owner of the content or that they have all of the rights, capacity and/or permissions necessary to license said content and that it does not infringe the rights of any third parties, including any industrial and intellectual rights, and they are responsible for obtaining any public or private authorisations and making any payments for the rights to use any intellectual and industrial property rights that may be necessary.

Obtained automatically when visiting our website:

When you visit our website, data is sent from your browser to our server, to optimise our services and improve your experience as a user, e.g. when you access a page or when you log into our Services through third-party services such as social media sites or Google. This data may be automatically collected and stored by us or by third parties on our behalf. This data may include:

- The user's IP address

- The time and date of the visit

- The URL of the site from which the user came

- The pages visited on our website

- Information about the browser used (type and version of browser, operating system, etc.) 

We may process and record such uses, sessions and related information, either independently or with the assistance of third-party services, including through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies such as flash cookies and web analytics.

In relation to the above, we offer location services in some of our mobile applications, e.g. Google Maps and Bing Maps. If you use these mobile applications, they may receive information about your actual location (e.g. using GPS signals sent by your mobile device) or information that can be used to determine your approximate location. You can generally enable or disable the location services on your device or in your browser's settings.

We use the Google Maps or Bing Maps service to help you to find the nearest BH Bikes store. To facilitate this process, we load an image of Google Maps or Bing Maps and we store the route data and the map image on our server.

For further information about Google Maps and Bing Maps and their Privacy Policy, view their privacy policies.

Our website and mobile application use online retargeting technology. We believe that displaying personalised advertising, based on the user's interests, is more interesting for our customers than advertisements with no personal connection to them and this technology allows us to show our visitors - who were interested in our store and our products - our advertisements on other third-party websites. For this purpose, we work with companies that use tracking technologies to display online advertisements on our behalf. These companies may collect information about your visits to our website or mobile applications and your interactions with the messages that we send, including advertising.

Retargeting technologies analyse your cookies and show advertisements based on your browsing behaviour, but we do not store your personal data with this technology and it meets the applicable Data Protection requirements.

When you apply for financing for the items purchased, the financial institution may inform us whether or not the financing was granted.

Communication of third-party data by the interested party:

Regarding the data of third parties, you must respect their privacy, taking special care when disclosing or publishing their personal data.

6.- What legal authorisation do we have to process your data?

The legal basis upon which we are authorised to process your data may vary:

- The relationship arising from the contract between us if you are a current customer/supplier, or the tender, quote, request or pre-contractual relationship of any kind existing between the parties if you are a potential customer/supplier, or, for example, your consent if you have sent us a request via our website, if you are simply a user of said website. To give us your unequivocal consent when you provide us with your data, whether online or offline, with the provision thereof deemed to be a clear affirmative action that expresses your consent.

It is obligatory to provide the requested data as it is necessary for the aforementioned purposes; if you do not provide it, we will not be able to fulfil such purposes.

- For example, fulfilling a legal obligation to comply with the consumer protection regulations.

- Our legitimate interest: Given the pertinent and appropriate relationship that you maintain with us as a current or potential customer/supplier, a user of our website, etc., we have a legitimate interest in processing your data so that, for the purpose of maintaining and managing said relationship, we may conduct opinion and/or satisfaction surveys and send you information about our activities, products and/or services (including marketing and/or commercial messages, pursuant to art. 21 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSICE)). Such ends are compatible with the original purpose for which we collected your data (managing contact and communication with you and maintaining the relationship between us) but, in any event, providing your data for the purposes referred to above, arising from our legitimate interest, is always voluntary and your interests, rights and freedoms shall always prevail over our legitimate interest, so if you want us to cease sending you commercial information by email, SMS, telephone or any other electronic means and to cease processing your data for these purposes, please send us an email to inform us of this to info@bhbikes.com and we shall do so. The data may remain blocked for filing, bringing and defending claims. This removal of data does not affect the processing of your data for the other purposes described

7.- Who are the potential recipients of your data?

We hereby inform you that the data that you provide to us may be communicated to third parties for purposes directly related to the legitimate functions of the assignor and assignee, for example:

To other companies from the BH business group, for internal administrative purposes, including the processing of customers' personal data.

To stores and dealers, for the assembly and delivery of the purchased bicycle.

To the entities or organisations to whom we are legally obliged to communicate the data (tax authority, etc.).

To the various entities that may be necessary at any given time in order to provide the various payment services and manage the charges and payments made through this website and any obligations arising from the payment systems that they provide for us; the foregoing enables these entities that provide such services to fulfil their inherent functions.

To insurance companies in the case of credit and surety insurance, to ensure the collection of payments, or insurance for public liability or defective products, in the event of any claims by end users.

We may also use suppliers who may need to process data on our behalf to provide us with a service, (e.g. hosting, housing, software as a service, remote backups, computer support or maintenance services, email clients, sending of emails and email marketing, file transfers, logistical services for the delivery of goods, payment transaction management, etc.). We sign a contract with these suppliers who provide us with a service that obliges them to process and protect the data in accordance with Spanish and European data protection regulations and to refrain from using it for any purpose other than the provision of the contracted service and to return it to us or destroy it without retaining any copy of it when the contractual relationship ends.

Those companies may change and vary over time but, in any event, we shall choose companies that adhere to the Privacy Shield agreement between the USA and the EU, or that are based in countries that have been declared countries with an adequate level of protection, meaning that they are obliged to meet data protection requirements equivalent to those in Europe. In any event, by accepting this data protection policy, you expressly and unequivocally authorise the communication of the data to those companies, with the knowledge that this implies an international transfer of data to a country that does not belong to the European Economic Area and giving your unequivocal consent for said transfer.
