The SMS is transmitted to your named contact via the cellular radio SIM card integrated into the bike. The use of the emergency number will not incur any additional costs.
2. Setting up and using the emergency feature
In order to use the emergency feature, you must store a valid cell phone number of a contact person in the Stromer OMNI app under Profile/My Omni account/Emergency contact. The cell phone number must contain the country code (e.g. +41 xx xxx xx xx).
myStromer will not check that the number provided is valid. It is your responsibility to update the number provided if it changes and to notify the owner of the number that you have entered their cell phone number in the Stromer app in case of emergency.
3. Storage and processing of personal data
In order to use the emergency feature, your personal details and the cell phone number of your named contact person must be stored and forwarded to telecommunications service providers in the event of a crash. Your location will be identified with the help of a GPS signal and, provided that a signal is available, communicated to the contact person.
myStromer will process these data in compliance with the data protection laws applicable in Switzerland and the EU, and with the Stromer data protection statement.
4. Disclaimer
The emergency feature is an automated channel in order to notify your designated contact person that a crash has been detected. A crash is detected with the help of the acceleration sensor if the bike gets into an atypical position after being in motion immediately beforehand (i.e. a speed was measured), regardless of the cause or severity of the incident. Other accidents, e.g. side-swipes, are not detected and do not trigger a message.
It is important for you to be aware that the emergency feature is only a help feature, and that the message triggered by it will only be sent to the cell phone number provided by you. myStromer is not able to view the automated messages or to intervene in any way.
We cannot rule out the possibility that crashes will not be detected as such in individual cases, e.g. due to damaged sensors, or that messages will not be triggered due to external circumstances, e.g. there is no cell phone connection or it is not working.
myStromer will not be in any way liable if no message is triggered in the event of a crash, if the report fails to reach the contact person and/or if an appropriate response fails to ensue.
5. Subject to change
We reserve the right to adapt the mode of operation of the myStromer emergency feature and/or the present regulation as and when required.
