Where you choose to do this:
a) The receipt typically accesses the shared link sent to the phone number or email address you provide;
b) we will process the phone number or email address you provide for the purpose of delivering the link and the one-time passcode, and will retain a record that the link was accessed and when;
c) you confirm that you have the recipient's permission to share their contact details with us for the sole purpose of sending this communication.
d) we process this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the sharing feature you have activated, and, where applicable, your instruction to us to send the link on your behalf.

The initial message sent to you will include a direct link to this Privacy Notice detailing how your data is handled and how you can exercise your privacy rights. We do not use recipient contact details for marketing or build profiles on non-registered recipients.
If you are a recipient of a shared link and have questions about how your data is processed in connection with it, you can contact us using the details shared in the “Contract Us” Section. If you call or message someone who has enabled their Bluetooth phone and communication feature, your name, number, or message content may be transiently displayed or read aloud on their vehicle's cluster. This data is not stored by us.

Some of these countries, including India, are not currently the subject of an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the UK Government and may apply different standards of data protection than your country of residence.
We will take appropriate steps to ensure that any transfer of your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom is carried out in accordance with applicable law, and we only transfer personal information to another country where:
a) We are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place to protect your information; and

7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our products and services to you, or as required by applicable law. The retention period applied depends on the nature of the data and the purpose for which it was collected; for instance, account and vehicle data is generally retained for the duration of your relationship with Flying Flea, while certain records may be retained for a longer period to comply with our legal, tax, or warranty-related obligations. Once personal data is no longer required for these purposes, we securely delete or anonymize it.
If you sell or otherwise transfer ownership of your motorcycle, you should notify us so that your account and data can be delinked from the vehicle. To do this, please contact our customer care team or write to us at support.emea@flyingflea.com [1] providing details of the vehicle and the change in ownership at:
For India: support.india@flyinglea.com
For EU & UK: support.emea@flyingflea.com
Once we receive your request, we will process the removal of the vehicle from your account and perform the necessary steps on our end to ensure that the new owner cannot view any of your historical data associated with that vehicle, including ride history, diagnostics, and location data.
Please note that we may retain certain data relating to the vehicle and its prior ownership where required to comply with our legal, regulatory, warranty, or safety obligations (for example, in connection with recalls, roadworthiness reporting, or dispute resolution), even after the vehicle has been delinked from your account. Any such retained data will continue to be handled in accordance with this Notice and our data retention practices.
8. Your Data Subject Rights
Depending on where you live, data protection law gives you a number of rights over your personal data. These rights are subject to certain exceptions and conditions under applicable law, and we will inform these to you if they apply to a specific request you make.
a) Right to Access: You have the right to confirm whether we hold personal data about you, and if so, to receive a copy of that data, together with information such as the purposes of processing, the categories of data concerned, and the recipients to whom it has been or will be disclosed.
b) Right to Rectification: You have the right to correct any personal data we hold about you that is inaccurate, and to have incomplete personal data completed.
c) Right to Erasure: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. This right does not apply where we need to retain the data to comply with a legal obligation, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
d) Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to limit the way we use your personal data in certain circumstances.
e) Right to data portability: Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent or to perform a contract with you, and the processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another organization, where technically feasible.
f) Right to object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis. If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
g) Right to Grievance Redressal: You have the right to seek redressing of any grievances regarding the processing of your personal data.
h) Right to Nomination (For Indian Users): You have the right to nominate any other individual who shall, in the event of your death or incapacity, exercise your data rights in accordance with applicable law.
i) Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data for example, for optional connected features such as location sharing, or for marketing communications you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal.
For location and connected-service data specifically, you can manage or withdraw your consent through two dedicated settings available in the App, under Vehicle Settings > Vehicle Mode:
● Privacy Mode — When enabled, your location data is not processed by us.
● Incognito Mode — When enabled, your motorcycle continues to monitor for a crash using onboard sensors, without this requiring the processing of your location or other personal data. This passive monitoring capability is retained so that, if a crash is detected or the SOS button is pressed, your motorcycle can immediately and automatically exit Incognito Mode and resume standard processing, including location data, so that we and emergency services can locate and assist you.
● The app will display a countdown showing how long Incognito Mode will remain active, and will notify you shortly before it is due to expire so that you can choose to extend it or turn it off.
j) Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe our processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
Country | Supervisory Authority |
India | Data Protection Board of India |
United Kingdom | Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) |
France | Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) |
Germany | The data protection authority of the relevant German federal state (Land) |
Spain | Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD - Agencia Española de Protección de Datos) |
Italy | Italian Data Protection authority ( Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) |
You may exercise any of the above rights by contacting us using the details in Section 13. To protect your personal data, we may need to verify your identity before responding to your request and may ask you for additional information for this purpose. We will acknowledge receipt of your request without undue delay and provide a substantive response within one month of receiving it.
Taking into account the complexity and number of requests, this period may be extended by up to two additional months where necessary. If an extension is required, we will inform you of the delay and the reasons for it within one month of receiving your initial request.
To protect your personal data, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request and may ask for additional information for this purpose. Exercising your rights is generally free of charge, though we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Our Digital Platforms are intended solely for use by individuals who are legally permitted to use the relevant service or Vehicle under the applicable laws.
