Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, it should be noted that the use of the website may be limited in this case.

We also process the data that you share with us when you contact us or rent a bike. We process both the data that is absolutely necessary for contacting us and for renting a bike, as well as data that you provide to us on a voluntary basis.

Finally, we receive data from publicly accessible sources, authorities or other third parties (e.g. social media, credit card companies, internet analysis services, etc.) to the extent permitted by law.

Why do we process personal data?

We process the data for various purposes. These are as follows:

  • Provision of this website;
  • Provision and rental of our bicycles and accessories;
  • Processing of reservations and bookings, including the dispatch of bicycles and accessories to the agreed pick-up and return locations, as well as booking and reservation confirmations and invoicing;
  • For customer correspondence in connection with bookings by telephone, e-mail, text and voice messages;
  • Organization and implementation of competitions, prize draws or marketing campaigns, including notification and publication of winners via our communication and advertising channels.
  • Anonymized evaluation of current customer and purchasing behaviour when booking on our website;
  • Statistical evaluation of customer behavior on the basis of anonymized customer data;
  • For the evaluation of processes and their simplification for the continuous improvement of our booking offer;
  • Sending individualized and personalized advertising via e-mail, if agreed;
  • Use of customer photos sent to us, e.g. during the bike tour, for our website and social media. These photos are used to present our services and provide our customers with a platform to share their experiences. However, we will not use photos of our customers without explicit consent. Therefore, we ask our customers to give us explicit and written consent before using their photos for such purposes;
  • Security purposes;
  • Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Who do we share your personal data with?

For the purposes mentioned above, we also transmit your data to service providers such as IT providers, payment providers and providers of tools used on this website. We also transmit data to authorities if we have a legal obligation to do so.

For the processing of your bike rental, we pass on your data to the Swiss Federal Railways SBB, depending on your choice of offer. We also pass on your data to Ski+Velo-Center SVC AG, which takes care of the maintenance and service preparation of the bikes for us, as well as the delivery of the bikes to our customers. For the latter point, your first name and surname will be compared with the Pedalmondo order submitted by presenting an ID card.

When we disclose data abroad

In connection with the transfer of data to third parties, it is possible that your data will not only be processed in Switzerland. If the statutory data protection in the relevant recipient country does not correspond to the level of data protection in Switzerland, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that a transfer may take place, e.g. by concluding the standard contractual clauses of the European Union or that another option provided for by law exists, e.g. by fulfilling a contractual obligation for you or by you giving us your consent.

How long do we retain data?

We will retain your personal data for as long as we deem appropriate to comply with applicable laws or as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

What rights do you have in relation to your personal data?

You can assert your data protection rights at any time and obtain information about your stored personal data. You can correct or amend it, object to its processing or request the deletion of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability, i.e. under certain conditions, to request the handover of certain data in a commonly used format. You can contact us using the contact form. We reserve the right to correspond with you electronically in this context.

How do we protect your personal data?

We have taken technical and organizational measures, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technical progress, to protect your data from loss, access, misuse and alteration.

However, you should always be aware that the transmission of information via the Internet and other electronic means involves certain security risks and that we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted in this way.
