Who we are

Electric Bike EU PLC ("EBE", "we"), 21B Kuklensko Shose, 4000 Plovdiv, Bulgaria, company registration TODO(paul): EIK / VAT number, operates www.ebike-eu.com. We are the data controller for the personal data described here. For any privacy question, write to contact@ebike-eu.com.

We do not sell personal data, we do not use advertising trackers, and we do not run third-party analytics cookies on this site.

Where your data goes

Our site and database run on Cloudflare, with the database located in Western Europe. Transactional and newsletter email is sent through Resend. Our AI assistant runs on our own hardware; if it is unavailable a request may be processed by Anthropic's API as a fallback. Sourcing requests are shared with the suppliers we approach on your behalf — we send them the specification and quantity only, never your identity, company or country.

How long we keep it

Account data: until you delete your account. Sourcing requests and quotations: seven years, because they are commercial records. Email delivery events: 24 months. Sign-in links: ten minutes. Chat transcripts are not stored beyond the live conversation unless they generate a sourcing request.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can withdraw newsletter consent at any time — every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and the toggle is in your account. You can delete your account and personal data yourself from your account page; commercial records are anonymised rather than erased where we are required to retain them.

To exercise any right, write to contact@ebike-eu.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Bulgarian Commission for Personal Data Protection (CPDP) or your local supervisory authority.

Cookies

We set one cookie: a session cookie that keeps you signed in. It is strictly necessary, so it needs no consent banner. We do not set advertising or analytics cookies.

Editorial content

Our industry briefs are original summaries written by our desk. Where a brief is prompted by another outlet's reporting we name that outlet and link to it. Brand names and trade marks mentioned belong to their owners; mention does not imply any partnership.
