3. Data we may process

Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from network information.
• Usage data such as pages viewed and interaction events (for example through analytics or server logs).
• Information you voluntarily provide (for example if you contact us by email or subscribe to a newsletter, if offered).

4. Why we use data

Typical purposes include operating and securing the website, understanding readership in aggregate, improving content and performance, and responding to enquiries. Where EU law applies, we aim to rely on appropriate legal bases such as legitimate interests, consent (where required), or contract — depending on the specific processing activity.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies or similar technologies. For a concise introduction to how cookies work and how browsers let you control them, reputable public guidance includes the UK ICO’s pages on cookies (helpful globally, not only for the UK). See also our Cookie preferences page for Bikefoods-specific choices where available.

6. International processing

Because our operations span Chile and Germany (and our audience is international), personal data may be processed in more than one country. When EU rules apply, we take into account requirements for transfers and safeguards. Specific mechanisms depend on our infrastructure and processors at any given time.

7. Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required by law.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing, and to object or withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. EU residents can also contact their local data protection authority. The European Data Protection Board publishes helpful information about the GDPR framework.

9. Children

Our content is aimed at a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate parental authority.

10. Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
