• Comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud or abuse.

5. Cookies and Consent

We use essential cookies for core site functions and optional marketing/analytics cookies only according to your consent preferences. You can change your preference any time via Cookie Settings in the site footer.

6. Sharing of Information

We may share information with service providers that help us run our business, such as:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Payment processors and order systems.
• Analytics and advertising platforms (subject to your consent where required).

We do not sell your personal information for money.

7. International Data Transfers

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for business, legal, tax, warranty, fraud-prevention, and operational purposes.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, but we work to maintain appropriate safeguards.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information, and to opt out of certain marketing activities. To make a request, email info@simpaticobikes.com.

If you are in Australia and believe your privacy complaint has not been resolved, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

11. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.
