Recommendations
Based on the above analyses, KTMconnect, Ride Husqvarna and GasGas Rider gives you recommendations to improve your lap times and riding style. KTMconnect, Ride Husqvarna and GasGas Rider analyses your riding behaviour and shows which parts of the route were driven particularly efficiently and which were not.

KTMconnect, Ride Husqvarna and GasGas Navigation is a navigation feature, which can show you the best route from one point to the next. We would like to point out that there are three different types of the Navigation Feature:
These different types of the Navigation Feature have different functionalities.The Basic versions (free and one-time-payment) are bound to the VIN. Therefore, you can only use them for one bike. The Premium subscription is independent from the VIN, but is bound to the mobile phone and can be used for several vehicles.
When you activate the Navigation Feature the following data will be processed as described below, depending on the package purchased. Please note, that if you activate or purchase the Basic free or Basic one-time-payment version you will be granted a two-week trial period for the Premium version of the Feature. This therefore means that during the first two weeks different data will be processed from you than afterwards (see below).

Please note that the link can also be passed on by these persons and therefore be careful to whom you send the link. The link expires as soon as the trip is completed, the driver cancels the navigation or the App is closed.

In addition, we further process your data listed above for the purpose of complying with legal obligations (Art 6 para 1 lit c GDPR), namely:
As part of our service provision, we might transfer personal data to other companies. We might transfer personal data to other companies within and/or outside our group of companies, including but not limited to external service providers as part of our services. In such a case, we contractually obligate these service providers to exercise the same care in processing personal data as we do ourselves.
In some cases, we may transfer personal data to recipients in third countries (see in each case the corresponding statement within our privacy statement). Third countries are countries outside the European Union (“EU”) and outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). These third countries also include the USA.
In the USA, there is no comparable level of data protection compared to the data protection level within the EU or within the EEA. In particular, it is possible that government agencies might access personal data without us or you are becoming aware of this. Legal prosecution may not be promising.
The legal basis for such a data transfer is generally your consent (Article 49 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR) or a respective contract performance (Article 49 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR) or the adequacy decision of the EU Commission (Article 45 (1) GDPR) or the use of EU standard contractual clauses (Article 46 (2) (c) GDPR; “SCC”).

We may also use another legal basis for a data transfer to a third country, in compliance with the requirements of the applicable data protection law.
We would like to inform you that no data processing within the meaning of Art 22 GDPR takes place. This means that we do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you; any decision with equivalent effect is made by a natural person.
We delete your personal data when no further storing is necessary with regard to the respective data processing purpose, and we do not need to comply with a statutory provision regarding the retention of certain personal data. If we cannot delete your personal data, we will restrict further processing of such personal data. Furthermore, the respective storage period also depends on the statutory limitation periods.
We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data we process against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against unauthorized access.
We use technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality of your personal data and to protect it against manipulation, loss and destruction. The storage and disclosure of personal data are subject to strict security procedures. We train our corresponding employees with regard to data protection law. Our employees only access personal data to the extent necessary.
You may have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data, subject to applicable law and in certain circumstances. Please refer to section 9 if you are based in California or Australia.
Certain data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. To do this, an informal notification to us by e-mail or via post is sufficient (see contact details below). The legality of the data processing that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to processing of your data that is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party. In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your data unless the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes (Art 21 GDPR).
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
In accordance with Art 15 GDPR, you have the right to request information which personal data is processed by us free of charge at any time. The right of access also includes the right to obtain a copy of the data, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons (Art 15 GDPR).
Furthermore, you have the right to request the correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (Art 16 GDPR).
In addition, you can request the deletion of your data at any time (Art 17 DSGVO). Please note that we cannot comply with an erasure request if the processing (storage) is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (e.g. legal retention obligations) or if we are entitled to do so due to overriding interests (e.g. assertion or defense of certain legal claims).
Additionally, you have the right to receive the processed data in a structured, common and machine-readable format. The right to data portability only exists if the data processing is based on your consent or on a contract (Art 20 GDPR).
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time at the address specified in point 5. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, except for storage, only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
