If you do not log your rides, we do not track your location. You can disable tracking at any time if you do not activate the manual logging function on your motorcycle or turn off the automated logging in KTMconnect, Ride Husqvarna and GasGas Rider.

In addition, we further process your data listed above for the purpose of legitimate interests of our company or on the basis of legitimate interests of third parties (Art 6 para 1 lit f GDPR), namely:

  • for the purpose of asserting and defending any legal claims,
  • to prevent cases of abuse and to block user accounts that violate the terms of use of the KTMconnect, Ride Husqvarna and GasGas Rider and
  • for anonymizing data collected in the KTM connect App and any additional Feature in the App that you might be using so that this anonymized data can be used by us and third parties (e.g. other PIERER Industrie group companies, suppliers, research institutions) for statistical evaluations to better understand how customers use our motorcycles, market research purposes and the improvement of our products. Once the data is anonymised it is no longer considered personal data relating to you. As part of the required balancing of interests, we have weighed up your interest in confidentiality against our interests in providing the Rider Feature. Your interest in confidentiality recedes. Otherwise, we would not be able to provide you with the Rider Feature.

Data analysis

The following analyses, among others, are performed with your data:

Please note, that if you activate or purchase the Basic free or Basic one-time-payment version you will be granted a two-week trial period for the Premium version of the Feature.

In a roadside incident case, it is possible that you will need to provide further data to third parties like local breakdown services that is necessary for the processing of the request. This could include, for example data such as private address, nationality, gender, breakdown address, credit card or bank details, hotel booking information, data/place of birth, data concerning personal document (ID, passport etc.) which are necessary for the booking of hotels, the towing of your vehicle, your transport or other services you need. However, we do not receive and therefore do not process this data ourselves, which you may entrust to third parties or processors. However, this does not preclude processing by these third parties or processors on our behalf if they receive any of the aforementioned data from you. In special circumstances, this data may also be given to Pierer Industries AG. This could be, for example, if the costs for the corresponding service are particularly high or there are other complications in the processing.

Some data categories are mandatory in order to use the App and its feature as intended (see above), while others are not. We process mandatory data for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations (Art 6 para 1 lit b GDPR), namely the fulfilment of the usage contract for the use of the "KTMconnect, Ride Husqvarna and GasGas Mobility Service", and as necessary for this service specifically requested by you. Not providing your data would have the consequence that we would not be able to fulfil our contractual obligations. We process the not mandatory data based on your consent (Art 6 para 1 lit a GDPR). Please see the information above on how to activate and deactivate the collection of non-mandatory data.

In addition, we further process your data listed above for the purpose of legitimate interests of our company or on the basis of legitimate interests of third parties (Art 6 para 1 lit f GDPR), namely:

  • for the purpose of asserting and defending any legal claims,
  • to prevent cases of abuse and to block user accounts that violate the terms of use of the KTMconnect, Ride Husqvarna and GasGas Mobility Service, and
  • for anonymizing data collected in the KTM connect App and any additional Feature in the App that you might be using so that this anonymized data can be used by us and third parties (e.g. other PIERER Industrie group companies, suppliers, research institutions) for statistical evaluations to better understand how customers use our motorcycles, market research purposes and the improvement of our products. Once the data is anonymised it is no longer considered personal data relating to you.

As part of the required balancing of interests, we have weighed up your interest in confidentiality against our interests in providing the Digital Property. Your interest in confidentiality recedes. Otherwise, we would not be able to provide you with the Digital Property.

3.     Recipient Categories

As part of our service provision, we might transfer personal data to other companies. We might transfer personal data to other companies within and/or outside our group of companies, including but not limited to external service providers as part of our services. In such a case, we contractually obligate these service providers to exercise the same care in processing personal data as we do ourselves.

In some cases, we may transfer personal data to recipients in third countries (see in each case the corresponding statement within our privacy statement). Third countries are countries outside the European Union (“EU”) and outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). These third countries also include the USA.

In the USA, there is no comparable level of data protection compared to the data protection level within the EU or within the EEA. In particular, it is possible that government agencies might access personal data without us or you are becoming aware of this. Legal prosecution may not be promising.

The legal basis for such a data transfer is generally your consent (Article 49 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR) or a respective contract performance (Article 49 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR) or the adequacy decision of the EU Commission (Article 45 (1) GDPR) or the use of EU standard contractual clauses (Article 46 (2) (c) GDPR; “SCC”). You can access these SCC here:

https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en.

We may also use another legal basis for a data transfer to a third country, in compliance with the requirements of the applicable data protection law.

4.     Automated individual decision making

We would like to inform you that no data processing within the meaning of Art 22 GDPR takes place. This means that we do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you; any decision with equivalent effect is made by a natural person.

5.     Data Retention

We delete your personal data when no further storing is necessary with regard to the respective data processing purpose, and we do not need to comply with a statutory provision regarding the retention of certain personal data. If we cannot delete your personal data, we will restrict further processing of such personal data. Furthermore, the respective storage period also depends on the statutory limitation periods.

 6.     Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data we process against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against unauthorized access.

We use technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality of your personal data and to protect it against manipulation, loss and destruction. The storage and disclosure of personal data are subject to strict security procedures. We train our corresponding employees with regard to data protection law. Our employees only access personal data to the extent necessary.

7.     Your rights

You may have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data, subject to applicable law and in certain circumstances. Please refer to section 9 if you are based in California or Australia.

7.1     Revocation of your consent to data processing

Certain data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. To do this, an informal notification to us by e-mail or via post is sufficient (see contact details below). The legality of the data processing that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

7.2     Right to object to data processing in specific cases and to direct advertising

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to processing of your data that is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party. In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your data unless the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes (Art 21 GDPR).

7.3     Right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.

7.4     Information, erasure and rectification

In accordance with Art 15 GDPR, you have the right to request information which personal data is processed by us free of charge at any time. The right of access also includes the right to obtain a copy of the data, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons (Art 15 GDPR).

Furthermore, you have the right to request the correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (Art 16 GDPR).

In addition, you can request the deletion of your data at any time (Art 17 DSGVO). Please note that we cannot comply with an erasure request if the processing (storage) is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (e.g. legal retention obligations) or if we are entitled to do so due to overriding interests (e.g. assertion or defense of certain legal claims).

7.5     Right to data portability

Additionally, you have the right to receive the processed data in a structured, common and machine-readable format. The right to data portability only exists if the data processing is based on your consent or on a contract (Art 20 GDPR).

7.6     Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time at the address specified in point 5. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data is/has been unlawful, you may request that we restrict the processing instead of erasing the data.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasing it.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Art 21 para 1 GDPR, your interests must be weighed up against our interests. Until it has been established whose interests are overriding, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, except for storage, only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

8.     Contact

If you have any questions that are not answered by this Privacy Policy, or if you require more detailed information on a particular point, please feel free to contact us. You can find the contact data in the imprint section of the respective Digital Property, or, as otherwise provided by the provider of the website, as indicated in the Digital Property.
