Last updated: June 2026

BikeID is a Digital Bicycle Passport ecosystem based on blockchain technology, designed for the creation, management, verification and preservation of bicycle certificates.

BikeID.eu operates primarily as a demonstration and presentation website of the BikeID technology.

Public visitors may access certain informational and read-only sections of the website. Certificate issuance, NFT minting, administrative functions and platform management tools are restricted to authorized personnel.

Production deployments of the BikeID platform may be independently licensed and operated by third-party customers under their own domains, infrastructure, privacy policies and terms of service.

BikeID may process limited technical information necessary for the operation and security of the website, including:

• server logs;

• technical security records;
• contact information voluntarily provided through email communications.

BikeID does not require public user registration and does not collect personal profiles for website visitors.

6. Blockchain, Polygon and IPFS

BikeID technology utilizes blockchain infrastructure including Polygon Network and ERC-721 smart contracts. Blockchain transactions are public, immutable and independent from BikeID once confirmed by the network.

Content, metadata, images, videos, PDF certificates and 3D models may be stored using IPFS, CIDGate gateways and related decentralized storage technologies.

Due to the nature of blockchain and decentralized storage systems, some information may remain publicly accessible and may not be removable or modifiable once published.

7. IPFS Pinning and Content Availability

BikeID may utilize dedicated gateways, CIDGate infrastructure and pinning services to improve the accessibility and availability of content stored on IPFS.

Pinning services improve content availability but do not guarantee perpetual storage, permanent preservation or continuous accessibility on decentralized networks.

8. Third-Party Infrastructure

BikeID may rely on third-party infrastructure providers including:

• hosting providers;
• cloud services;
• email providers;
• RPC providers;
• Polygon Network;
• IPFS infrastructure;
• CIDGate services;
• security and monitoring services.

BikeID is not responsible for outages, interruptions or failures originating from third-party infrastructure.

9. Cookies

BikeID may use strictly necessary technical cookies required for website functionality, security and performance.

If analytics, marketing or non-essential tracking technologies are introduced in the future, consent will be requested where required by applicable law.

10. Data Retention

Technical logs, security records and communications are retained only for the period reasonably necessary to operate the website, maintain security and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Blockchain records remain subject to the technical rules of the respective blockchain networks and may remain publicly accessible indefinitely.

11. Security

BikeID implements reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the website and its infrastructure.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

12. Customer Deployments

Organizations that license or deploy BikeID technology operate independently and are solely responsible for the processing of personal data within their own implementations.

Each deployment may operate under its own domain name, infrastructure, privacy policy and terms of service.

BikeID.eu does not act as controller of data processed by independently operated customer deployments.

13. User Rights

Where applicable under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), individuals may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability.
