EBikePeak (“we”, “us” or “our”) operates ebikepeak.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit this site, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect limited information in the course of running a content website. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to include, such as your name, email address and message. If you leave a comment, where comments are enabled, we collect the information shown in the comment form, together with your IP address and browser information for spam prevention.
We also collect aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device type and referring website. This helps us understand which guides are useful and where the site needs improvement.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device to remember preferences and to help the site work properly. WordPress may set cookies for site administration and, where applicable, for comments, so returning visitors do not need to re-enter details. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling them may affect how some parts of the site work.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or a similar service, to measure traffic in aggregate. These tools may set cookies and collect information such as pages visited, time on page and general location. This data is used only to improve content and is not used to identify individual readers.
Affiliate Links
EBikePeak participates in affiliate programmes, including the Amazon Associates programme. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer may set cookies to track the referral and pay us a commission. We do not receive your payment details, and the commission does not change the price you pay. Please see our Advertising Disclosure for more detail.
Third-Party Services
This site may use third-party services for hosting, security, spam prevention, analytics and advertising. These providers may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Articles may include embedded content from other websites, which may collect data, use cookies and track your interaction in the same way as if you had visited that website directly.
How Long We Retain Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically. Email correspondence is kept for as long as reasonably needed to answer your enquiry and to maintain a record of corrections or review requests. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form and is not linked to named individuals.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. You can also opt out of analytics and advertising cookies through your browser settings. To make a request, please contact us using the details below, and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. The updated policy will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
