We use industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Data, including “firewalls” and Secure Socket Layers, including compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. We treat your Personal Data as an asset that must be protected against loss, alteration, destruction and unauthorized access and which our employees and representatives must keep confidential, and we use many different security techniques to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access by users’ inside and outside of Verona Bike. We also use internal protections to limit access to users’ Personal Data to only those employees or representatives who need the Personal Data to perform a specific function.

Transfers outside the European Union 

Non-European countries may have data protection laws that are less protective than the legislation where you live. Where this is the case (such as the United States), our transfers of Personal Data will be regulated by standard contractual clauses relating to the transfer of Personal Data outside of the European Union (or outside of jurisdictions deemed “adequate” for data privacy by the European Union). We will not transfer your data outside of the European Union for any other reason than described in this Notice, unless we are required to do so by operation of law.

In determining the appropriate retention period we consider the purpose for which we process your Personal Data, the volume, type and context of the Personal Data, local legal requirements, the risk of harm to the data protection rights of the individual and whether the purpose for processing Personal Data can be established through an alternative method.
