2. Overview of processing

bikesetting.com is a free suspension and tyre pressure calculator. No registration is required. What you enter in the calculator (e.g. body weight, bike model) is processed exclusively in your browser and is not transmitted to us. We only process personal data as part of the technical operation of the website (hosting), when you contact us and – with your consent – to deliver advertising via Google AdSense. Also only with your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to evaluate the use of the website statistically. We do not load external fonts; the font used is hosted on our own server.

3. Hosting with IONOS

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. When the website is accessed, IONOS processes the data listed in section 4 on our behalf on servers in Germany or the EU. We have concluded a data processing agreement with IONOS pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, which ensures that the data is only processed in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely, quickly and reliably. Further information: IONOS privacy policy.

4. Server log files

Each time the website is accessed, the following information is automatically recorded and stored in server log files:

This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and to ensure stability and security (e.g. defence against attacks). It is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The log files are only stored for as long as necessary for these purposes and are then deleted or anonymised.

5. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

6. Local storage in the browser (localStorage)

If you actively click “Save locally” in the calculator, create your own bike model, switch between light and dark mode or choose a language, this information or your chosen view is stored in your browser’s local storage (localStorage) so that it is available again on your next visit. This data does not leave your device and is not transmitted to us or third parties. It is stored solely at your express request and is strictly necessary for the function you have requested (Section 25 (2) no. 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, TDDDG). You can delete the data at any time in your browser settings (“Clear site data”).

“My bike”: if you add a bike in “My bike” or save a setup, a ride or a service entry, this information (e.g. the bike’s name, air and tyre pressure values, ride hours, kilometres, notes) is likewise stored only in your browser’s localStorage. There is no user account; the data is not transmitted to us. With “Back up (export)” you can save it as a file on your device. As above, the legal basis is Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG.

Offline use (service worker): so that the calculators also work without an internet connection, your browser uses a so-called service worker to store copies of our pages, program files and the bike database in the browser cache. No personal data is stored or transmitted in the process; content from Google (advertising, analytics) is not cached. You can remove the cache at any time via “Clear site data” in your browser.

To obtain and manage your consent to advertising and statistics cookies, we use Google’s consent management (“Privacy & messaging” in Google AdSense), a Google-certified consent management platform based on the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF). The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

On your first visit, a notice is displayed in which you can give, refuse or individually adjust your consent. Your decision is stored in a cookie (e.g. FCCDCF, FCNEC) so that you are not asked again on every visit. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 (1) GDPR (obligation to provide evidence) and Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future: Open cookie settings. The link is also in the footer of every page.

8. Google AdSense

To finance this free service, we display advertisements via Google AdSense. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Nature and purpose of processing

Google uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g. pixels, local storage, device identifiers) to deliver ads, limit their frequency, prevent fraud and measure the effectiveness of the ads. If you have consented, personalised ads based on your interests, which Google derives from your usage behaviour across different websites, are also shown. The data processed may include in particular: IP address, device and browser information, date and time of the visit, page visited, interactions with ads and cookie identifiers (e.g. __gads, __gpi, __eoi, IDE). In addition to Google, other advertising partners may be involved in delivering ads; they are listed individually in the consent management.

Legal basis

Information is only stored on or accessed from your device with your consent (Section 25 (1) TDDDG). The subsequent processing of personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Without consent, only limited ads without personalisation are delivered, where legally permissible.

Transfer to third countries

Google may also transfer data to servers of Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR). In addition, Google has concluded the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 GDPR).

Storage period

The storage period of the cookies is determined by Google and is generally up to 13 months. You can delete cookies in your browser at any time.

Further information and objection

9. Google Analytics 4

If you have agreed in the consent management, we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This tells us which pages and functions (e.g. selecting a bike model, calculating a setup, switching the view or language) are used and how often, so that we can improve the service.

Data processed

Device and browser information, approximate location (country/region, derived from the IP address), pages visited, time spent, origin of the visit (referrer) and interactions on the page. Google Analytics 4 does not store complete IP addresses. Data sharing for Google signals and advertising purposes is deactivated. Entries in the calculator such as body weight are not transmitted.

Cookies and storage period

Google Analytics uses the cookies _ga and _ga_<ID> with a maximum lifetime of 13 months. The event data collected is automatically deleted after 14 months.

Legal basis, third-country transfer and withdrawal

Google Analytics is only loaded after you have given your consent (Section 25 (1) TDDDG, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. Transfer to the USA is possible; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time via cookie settings. Further information: Data privacy in Google Analytics.

10. Contacting us by email or phone

If you contact us by email or phone, we process your details (e.g. name, email address, phone number, content of the request) to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract or is pre-contractual, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries). The data is deleted as soon as the enquiry has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations (e.g. under commercial or tax law) apply.

11. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with regard to your personal data:

To exercise your rights, an informal message to the contact details above is sufficient.

12. Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR

Where we process data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest), you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

13. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data violates the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is:

Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg (State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg)
Lautenschlagerstraße 20, 70173 Stuttgart, Germany
