• Rental of Gjøvik municipality’s city bikes: When you create a user profile and rent a bike from us, we enter into an agreement with you. To fulfill the agreement, we must know who you are. We also need your contact information to send you information about and related to the rental. To manage and operate the service, we also need information about where the bike is located, which we get through GPS tracking of the bike. We can also use such position data to troubleshoot equipment and in connection with the implementation of the rental. To charge for the service, we need your payment information.
• Administration of your user profile and customer relationship. In order to be able to manage the customer relationship, we need to process your personal information registered when creating your user profile with us, including, among other things, to be able to respond to inquiries from you as a customer via our channels. We must also be able to check your activity in the ShareBike-app to respond to inquiries about these services, for example by troubleshooting.

If you contact us to report a bug or make suggestions for improvement, we can collect your contact information, as well as information about your use of our app.
• Customer insight. Your feedback and input about our services is important to us. Therefore, we conduct market research, make customer surveys and contact customers directly to hear what they think about our services. To conduct high-quality surveys, we use personal information to select who to contact. To provide you with improved and new services, we have the right to conduct such surveys.
• Development of new and existing services. We also process personal data to identify demand for new products and services and to improve existing products and services.
• We use cookies to give you a better user experience when you use the ShareBike-app. You can decide for yourself whether you want to allow the use of cookies.
• Sharing of personal information. We may share certain personal information with our partners and suppliers. With our partners, it is relevant to share information that is relevant to the improvement of or the development of new products and services. With suppliers, we can share information they need to carry out an assignment they have received from us. These can be consulting companies, advertising agencies, suppliers of analysis tools and the like. When sharing as mentioned above, we always enter into agreements that limit the supplier’s access to the use of the information, including that the information cannot be shared further. We may also share data with relevant research projects in which we participate. Personal data may be disclosed to public authorities upon request, for example when there is a suspicion that a crime has been committed in connection with the use of our services. We will not share or disseminate personal information in any other way than described here. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
• How long is the personal information stored? We do not store your personal information longer than necessary. This means, for example, that personal data that we process based on your consent will be deleted, if you withdraw your consent. Personal information we process to fulfill an agreement with you is deleted when the agreement has been fulfilled and all obligations arising from the contractual relationship have been fulfilled. For example, profile data is retained if you are an active customer with us and deleted after 3 years without activity. Order history is deleted 3 years after the last purchase (rent), but accounting information is retained for 5 years in accordance with Bokføringsloven (The Accounting Act). Information on position history is anonymised, normally after three months, when there is no longer a need for a full history.
