If you have questions about how we process your personal data, please contact us using the email address above.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect information such as:
 

• first and last name;

• email address;

• telephone number;

• date of birth;

• information provided in a membership application;

• information about your motorcycle where relevant to membership;

• messages and correspondence sent to us;

• membership information;

• photographs or other media where applicable;

• technical information generated when you use our website; and

• other information you voluntarily provide to us.
   

We only seek to collect information that is relevant to the purpose for which it is required.

We may process personal data in order to respond to enquiries; process membership applications; administer memberships; communicate with members; organize rides, meetings, and events; maintain appropriate membership and administrative records; manage the operation of the association; maintain the security and functionality of our website; and comply with applicable legal obligations.

We will not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected unless permitted by law.

Under the GDPR, personal data must be processed on a valid legal basis. Depending on the circumstances, our processing may be based on:
 

Consent — where you have freely given us permission to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
Contractual necessity — where processing is necessary in connection with your membership or a request you have made.
Legal obligation — where we are required to process or retain information under applicable law.
Legitimate interests — where processing is reasonably necessary for the administration and operation of the association, provided that those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

When you apply for membership, we collect the information necessary to assess and administer your application. Submitting an application does not automatically guarantee membership.

Information submitted as part of an application will only be used for legitimate purposes connected with the application, membership administration, or other purposes clearly communicated to you.

Sons of Cyrus may take photographs or videos during rides, gatherings, meetings, and events. Where consent or another appropriate legal basis is required before publishing identifiable personal information or images, this will be handled separately.

Applying for membership does not automatically constitute consent to unrestricted publication of your personal information. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent in accordance with applicable law

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for as long as required by applicable law. Different categories of information may therefore have different retention periods. Information that is no longer required should be securely deleted or anonymized where appropriate.

We do not sell personal data. We may share information with service providers where this is necessary to operate our website, communications, administration, or other legitimate activities. Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, appropriate data-protection requirements should apply. Personal data may also be disclosed where required by law or a competent authority.

Some website, communication, or technology service providers may process data outside Sweden or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards should be used as required by applicable data-protection law.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide functionality, understand website usage, improve the visitor experience, and support third-party services. Where required by law, non-essential cookies should only be used after the visitor has provided the appropriate consent.

For more information, please refer to our Cookie Settings.

Subject to the conditions and limitations provided by applicable law, you may have the right to:
 

• request access to your personal data;

• request correction of inaccurate information;

• request deletion of your personal data;

• request restriction of processing;

• object to certain processing;

• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;

• request data portability where applicable; and

• lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
   

To exercise your rights, contact us at sonsofcyrus.sweden@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

We take reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, but we aim to use appropriate safeguards in relation to the information we process.

Our website may contain links to external websites or social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of those services separately.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, website, services, or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this website together with the date of the most recent update.
