Applicable to Urban Arrow connected services

If your Connect bike is stolen, it is possible to report the bike as stolen in the app. Your insurer will then contact the tracking agency. The detective agency will then try to trace your bike and retrieve it. When you use this service, the detective agency will make an advance notification to the police. In the event that the bicycle is not recovered, you must confirm the notice by filing a police report for financial processing purposes. Before the law enforcement agency can consult the data of your Connect bike, you have to agree with the processing of location data of the module mounted in the Connect bike for the purpose of tracing the stolen Connect bike. After delivery to the law enforcement agency, the processing of location and vehicle data by the law enforcement agency falls under the Police Data Act (Wpg). If your Connect bike is not found, you need to disconnect it in the app.
