You purchase products or services from Hemco Invest and you download the Strollo app

We process your personal data for the purpose of customer management, based on the performance of the agreement with you regarding the delivery of the smart bike.

This includes processing your name/email/reference to your pram/personal key to open your personal Strollo account and to start/stop the pram; processing the location of your stroller in order to track and record the duration/distance/speed of the journeys with your stroller; the processing of the information (including photos) that you may send us regarding the maintenance and repair service of the stroller; the processing of the location of your stroller in connection with the function of retrieving the stroller.

The functionalities mentioned above are essential features, inherent to our strollers and necessary to meet your expectations as a user. We cannot fulfil the agreement concluded with you without your personal data. This processing may include compiling a profile. Creating a profile has no effect on you, except that it allows you to have convenience of the functionalities involved.

We may process your personal data for our legitimate business interests.

“Legitimate Interests” are the interests of our business in conducting and managing it to provide you with the best services and products and the best and most secure experience. It also applies to processing that is in your interest.

Processing for our legitimate interests may include processing for (i) fraud prevention and compliance; (ii) certain direct marketing and promotional activities; (iii) offering and operating referral marketing programs; (iv) security of networks and information systems; (v) data analysis; (vi) improve or customize our service; (vii) identify usage trends; or (viii) determining the effectiveness of promotional campaigns or advertising.

When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests, we make sure we consider and balance the potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests. We will not use your personal data for activities where our interests outweigh the impact on you (unless we have your consent or it is required or permitted by law).

You have the right to object to this processing if you wish. Please contact info@Hemco-invest.com for this.

In each case:

We may process your personal data to comply with applicable laws and regulations and for the management of disputes (e.g., prevention/detection/sanctioning unlawful acts and/or misuse of Hemco Invest resources, defence against legal claims), based on our lawful interests. We believe that complying with laws and regulations and managing disputes contribute to safeguarding and advancing our economic, commercial, social and financial interests. The processing may include compiling a profile. Creating a profile has no effect on you, except for the purposes of regulatory compliance and dispute management. We may anonymise your personal data and use aggregated data for research and development, based on our legitimate interests (e.g., revenue statistics, market analysis, user statistics and use of our products and services, development and improvement of our products and services). We believe that research and development can lead to improved customer experience, improvement and innovation of the product, which benefits the persons involved in our products and services (such as customers, distributor, suppliers). Research and development may involve the compilation of a profile. All identifying elements such as your name, address, etc. are omitted. This profiling has no effect on you, except that this processing activity could lead to the improvement of the customer experience, improvement and innovation of the product, which gives you an advantage.
