Information We Collect

We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it via our contact form. Information you submit (e.g., name, email, message) is used to respond to you and is not stored elsewhere or repurposed.

Log Files

Like most websites, our servers generate logs when you visit. This may include IP address, browser type, ISP, date/time, referring/exit pages, and click activity. We use these logs to maintain security, diagnose issues, and understand aggregate usage. Logs are not linked to information that directly identifies you.

Cookies & Consent

We use cookies to keep the site reliable and to understand aggregate engagement. Some cookies are essential (e.g., to remember basic preferences). We use the CookieYes consent tool so you can control optional cookies. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure aggregate, non-personal site usage (such as page views and general engagement) so we can improve content and reliability. You can opt out with Google’s browser add-on: Google Analytics Opt-out. For details on how Google handles data, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

Children’s Privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please reach out via our Contact page and we will delete it.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to object or request portability. California residents have additional rights described below. To make a request, use our Contact page.

Data Retention

  • Contact form messages: Kept long enough to respond and follow up, then deleted or archived.
  • Server logs & diagnostics: Retained short-term for security and performance, then aggregated or deleted.
  • Analytics data: Stored by our analytics provider in aggregate form per their retention policies.

Security

We use SSL/TLS encryption to protect data in transit between your browser and our site. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to our practices or applicable laws. We update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.

California Privacy (CCPA/CPRA)

Under California law, residents have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and limit certain uses of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your rights, use our Contact page.

Do Not Sell or Share

The Cyclist Choice does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, this page will be updated and any required opt-out mechanisms will be provided.
