Hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", or "RIDE.GEORGIA".

2. General Information on Data Processing
We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our services, particularly the organization of guided motorcycle tours in Georgia.
As a rule, personal data is processed only with the user's consent or, where consent cannot be obtained and processing is legally permitted, on one of the following legal bases (where the GDPR applies):

  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – Consent (e.g. for optional cookies)

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – Performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (e.g. processing a booking request)

  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate interest (e.g. ensuring the secure and uninterrupted operation of our website)

For users residing in Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) also applies, where relevant.

3. Website Hosting (Wix)
This website is hosted on the Wix.com platform.
The provider is Wix.com Ltd., 40 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv, Israel (for users in the EU/Switzerland: Wix.com, Inc. or the respective affiliated company as specified in Wix's Privacy Policy).
On our behalf, Wix processes technical data that is automatically collected when you visit our website, including:

  • IP address

  • Date and time of the request

  • Browser type and version

  • Operating system

  • Visited pages / referrer URL

These server log files are necessary for the technical operation and security of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website).
Further information about Wix's data processing can be found here:
https://www.wix.com/about/privacy
As Wix may process data outside the EU and Switzerland, data transfers are based on appropriate safeguards provided by Wix, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). We have no influence over Wix's specific technical server infrastructure.

4. Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are technically necessary (for example, to remember your language preference or preserve the status of forms), while others are used for analytics or convenience features.
To obtain and manage your consent, we use the Usercentrics Consent Management Platform (CMP) provided by:
Usercentrics GmbH
Sendlinger Straße 7
80331 Munich
Germany
When you visit our website, Usercentrics displays a cookie banner allowing you to accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences. Until consent has been given, non-essential cookies and scripts are not loaded.
Usercentrics stores your consent choices for legal documentation purposes, including:

  • the time of your decision

  • a pseudonymous identifier to recognize your device

  • where applicable, a shortened IP address

This processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligation to document user consent (Art. 6(1)(c) in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR) and serves our legitimate interest in maintaining a legally compliant and user-friendly consent management system (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
More information is available here:
https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/
You can reopen the cookie banner and change your preferences at any time.
Apart from Wix's technically necessary cookies (e.g. language settings and session management), we currently do not use any additional analytics or advertising services such as Google Analytics or the Meta/Facebook Pixel. Should additional services be implemented in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
