Privacy Statement

Swapfiets B.V. considers the protection of personal data of vital importance. Therefore, we process your data with the utmost care. With this Privacy Statement, we would like to inform you about how we handle personal data.

1.Who is responsible for processing your data?

In this Privacy Statement, Swapfiets B.V. (hereinafter"Swapfiets" ,"we, "us" or "our") describes how it handles your personal data in its capacity as data controller.

2.What is personal data?

All information about an identified or identifiable natural person is personal data. This means that information can be traced to you either directly or indirectly.

3.What personal data do we process?

We process personal data about you when you use one of our services, such as purchasing a subscription to use a bicycle, visiting one of our websites, or using the Swapfiets app (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Services").

A) Data generated by your use of our Services When you use Services of Swapfiets or otherwise interact with us, we process the following (personal) data as part of our services, depending on the specific use you make of them:

B) Data processed with an e-bike subscription If you enter into an e-bike subscription at Swapfiets, the last known location of the bicycle may be processed to recover lost or stolen e-bikes and to retrieve e-bikes in case of default. In case of default, Swapfiets is entitled to retrieve the bike, if you have (repeatedly) failed to comply with the written request to return the e-bike to us.

The processing of this data is necessary for our services and Swapfiets has a legitimate interest due to the high replacement costs of the bikes. In this way, Swapfiets aims to be able to offer e-bikes to you at the sharpest possible rate.

Only from the moment you personally declare that the bicycle is lost or stolen, or in case of default, location data is collected on a constant basis.

C) Data processed on the use of the e-bike

When you enter into an agreement with Swapfiets and take out a subscription for the use of an e-bike, you can choose from different types of subscriptions suitable for the specific use of the bicycle. To determine whether you have chosen the right subscription, Swapfiets can process (technical) data of the bicycle. This gives Swapfiets insight into your use of the bicycle, such as the number stops, the average speed, and the average distance you ride per day.

Processing this (technical) data is necessary for our services and to prevent fraud. Swapfiets aims to offer e-bikes at the lowest rate possible. Intensive use leads to higher costs for Swapfiets. You will be informed by Swapfiets if you require an upgrade.
