Klein Online (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website home-kleinonline.club. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit our site or contact us. We aim to process only what is necessary to run an informative cycling website.
1. Who is responsible
The data controller for this website is Klein Online, reachable at [email protected]. If you have questions about privacy, please use that address or our contact form.
2. What information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
When you send a message through our contact form or email, we may receive your name, email address, selected topic, and message content. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and to keep a record of correspondence where needed for follow-up.
2.2 Technical and usage data
Like most websites, our hosting environment may automatically process technical data such as IP address, browser type, device category, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data helps us maintain security, diagnose errors, and understand aggregate traffic patterns.
2.3 Cookies and similar technologies
We may use essential cookies required for basic site functions (for example, remembering cookie consent preferences in local storage). Optional analytics cookies are used only if you accept them. Details are described in our Cookie Policy.
3. Purposes and legal bases
Depending on applicable law (including the GDPR where it applies), we process personal data for:
- Responding to messages — legitimate interest or steps prior to a contract / your request.
- Operating and securing the website — legitimate interest in a safe, reliable service.
- Understanding aggregate audience trends — consent where required for non-essential analytics.
- Complying with legal obligations — when retention or disclosure is required by law.
4. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers who host the website, deliver email, or provide security monitoring — only as needed to perform those services and under appropriate safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of users and the site.
5. International transfers
If our hosting or tooling processes data outside your country, we take steps consistent with applicable law to protect that information (for example, standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms where required).
6. Retention
Contact messages are kept as long as needed to complete the conversation and for a reasonable period afterward for reference or legal compliance, then deleted or anonymized. Server logs are typically retained for a limited security window defined by our host. Consent records for cookies are stored until you clear site data or withdraw consent.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise rights, email [email protected].
8. Children
Our content is general audience information about cycling. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us so we can delete it.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; please use strong unique passwords for any accounts you maintain with third parties linked from our site.
10. Third-party links
Our articles may link to external websites. Their privacy practices are their own. We encourage you to read their policies before sharing personal information.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect operational, legal, or technical changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will change accordingly. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy where permitted by law.
