5. Purposes and legal bases

·                   App user measurement and usage analysis (applicable for all Apps):

We analyse the performance of our Apps and Services content in order to understand how users interact with them and improve them accordingly.

We rely on your consent to process your Personal Data for this purpose, see Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. In case you withdraw your consent, we will stop processing your Personal Data for this purpose.

 

·                   App user measurement and usage analysis (applicable for all Apps):

We analyse the performance of our Apps and Services content in order to understand how users interact with them and improve them accordingly.

We rely on your consent to process your Personal Data for this purpose, see Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. In case you withdraw your consent, we will stop processing your Personal Data for this purpose.

We further aggregate user data collected in our database in order to provide data analysis services (e.g. regarding bike model usage (for example terrain information, battery use history, errors, etc.), gender ratio, average speed/distance/riding time, firmware status) to manufacturers of bikes, to bike brands and to bike dealers. In order to provide each party with the relevant aggregated data, as a first step, we match on our servers the serial number of Shimano components registered by users in the Apps with the serial numbers from our factory database. In a second step, by way of data aggregation, all Personal Data is anonymized by aggregation before it is included in the respective statistics so that it is not possible for the manufacturer or dealer to directly or indirectly identify you.

For this purpose, we rely on our legitimate interests to provide the added services to our cooperation partners and on the legitimate interests of our cooperation partners to be able to analyze model usage, see Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.
