You can get more information on each of the rights we’ve summarised below by taking a look at the glossary in the bottom section of this privacy notice:

• The right to request access to your personal data.

• The right to request correction of your personal data.

• The right to request erasure of your personal data.

• The right to object to processing of your personal data or to withdraw consent. Remember, you can always stop direct marketing messages via the preference centre in your account, by clicking on an unsubscribe link in any of our emails or getting in touch via email, phone or post.

• The right to request restriction of processing your personal data.

• The right to request a transfer of your personal data to another service provider.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above or if you have any questions or a complaint, please contact us.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

GLOSSARY

We recognise that some of the privacy law terminology can be a bit complicated so we have included a Glossary at the end to provide a bit more detail on the meaning of some of the terms used in this privacy notice.

LAWFUL BASIS:

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract. For example, where we are sending you products you have purchased from us or where you have entered a competition on our website, we will be processing your personal data on the basis that it is necessary for us to do so in order to perform a contract between us.

Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS:

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Disclaimer

Any information found on our website is intended for guidance purposes only. The website, price and availability of information is subject at our discretion to change without notice to you. Any such changes will apply subsequent orders by you. However we provide a service to you as well as links to other websites on an "as is" basis. We make no representations or warranties of any kind (except when we are dealing with you as a consumer as defined in section 12 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), express or implied, with respect to our website or the information, content, materials or products included in our site including without limitation, warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In addition we do not represent or warrant that the information accessible via this website is accurate, up to date, uninterrupted or error free. You hereby expressly warrant that you are satisfied as to the suitability of the goods for your own specific purposes and that they are not sold to you on a trial basis.

We do not guarantee that this website will be compatible with all hardware and software which may be used by visitors to our site. In no event shall we be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages, or for interrupted communications, lost data, loss of profits, reverses or viruses which may affect your computer equipment, software, data or other property as a result of you accessing, using or browsing our website or you downloading any of the materials, data, text or images contained thereon.

Security Statement

E-Bike Barn has taken extensive steps to ensure that any data transmitted by our users cannot be intercepted, viewed, or blocked by unauthorized parties. We also have established policies telling our users how we use and store their information, such as addressing information and credit cards. See our Privacy Statement for further details.

E-Bike Barn ensures the security of all protected data transmitted to and from our site through the use of a server-based encryption technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). As you enter personal information (such as your password, address and phone number, or your credit card number), SSL encodes it so that it is available only to you and E-Bike Barn, who will help ensure your purchasing goes smoothly. This security protects you from impostors, eavesdroppers and vandals that might otherwise access your information as it travels from one computer to another. With this security, you can send your credit card number to us without risk of interception. SSL security makes shopping over the Internet safer than shopping by telephone.

Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator browsers have built-in security mechanisms to prevent users from unwittingly submitting sensitive information over insecure channels. If a user tries to submit information to an unsecured site, these browsers will, by default, show a warning. By contrast, if a user attempts to submit information to a site without a valid digital ID and SSL connection, no such warning is sent.

E-Bike Barn is Secure

Here at E-Bike Barn we take your online security very seriously. We use high-level 128 bit encryption technology, the most advanced security software currently available for online transactions on our website. Rest assured that we take the privacy and security of your personal and payment details very seriously.

This security technology encrypts your personal information including your credit card number, name and address, ensuring that nothing can be read as it travels over the internet.

You can always check to see whether a page is secure as 'https' will replace 'http' in your browser address window. For example: 'https://www.e-bikebarn.com'. A small padlock will then appear in the bottom bar on the left hand side of your browser window.

Verified By Visa and Mastercard® SecureCode™

To give you even more confidence in shopping online with e-bikebarn.com, we have introduced Verified by Visa and Mastercard® SecureCode™. These services enhance your existing card account against unauthorised use when you shop with us.

To use this service, you must first register with the bank or other organisation that issued your card. To find out more about these services:

How Do You SecureMy Payments?

We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions on our site.

Our payment area is secured using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL). You'll know when you enter this area because the small yellow padlock appears in the bottom right hand corner of your browser. The other indication is in the address bar. You'll notice that http:// is replaced by https:// (the 's' standing for 'Secure').

Your Internet browser provides visual indications that you are inside a secure site and that all data transferred is securely encrypted.

What Is SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure. This system is used by literally millions of websites worldwide to secure Internet transactions between the server and the customer.

In order to be able to generate an SSL link (signified by the gold padlock in the information tool bar), a web server requires an SSL Certificate.
