ActiveLinx – our distributor in the UK

Consumers mostly take our products and services through ActiveLinx. This distributor is not part of BerkelBike BV. BerkelBike BV is not responsible for the handling of consumer data by ActiveLinx. ActiveLinx is responsible for the consumer data they provide to BerkelBike regarding the sale of BerkelBike products.

Consumer Data

When completing forms on our website or phone us (for the purchase of a BerkelBike product), consumer data at BerkelBike BV can be registered by ourselves, ActiveLinx or the consumer himself. When visiting one of BerkelBike’s websites, data is also collected. This data includes IP address, the data of the device used, and the viewed items. Even if you contact BerkelBike, this will often lead to the processing of personal data. Consider the request for a free test ride, information requests for service and warranty requests.

Which personal data do we collect?

BerkelBike uses personal data for:

• Support and service to the consumer and distributor, as well as for the execution of various agreements including those between the consumer and distributor and, where applicable, the agreement between BerkelBike and the consumer.
• Marketing, such as newsletters and the targeted display of advertisements and products via Google Adwords, social media channels, and third-party websites.
• Carrying out analyses to optimise products and services.

How long do we store consumer data?    

BerkelBike B.V. processes data as long as is necessary for the purpose of the data. This may depend on the consumer cancellations, such as our newsletter. In principle, data is not erased so that we can assess any complaints or new contact recordings based on applications from the past. If you want your data erased from our system, please contact calvin@berkelbike.com.
