Where We Send Your Data

Using Our Website


We provide links to other websites, which are not operated and controlled by Cyclewise. We have no control over and are not responsible for the content of those sites or how the third parties responsible for them collect and use your personal information. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

For information about our use of cookies please see our Cookie Policy

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/ After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We are committed to protecting your personal information. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption, to protect your personal information and privacy, and review those regularly. We protect your personal information using a combination of physical and IT security controls, including access controls that restrict and manage the way in which your personal information and data are processed, managed, and handled. We also ensure that all of our staff are adequately trained in protecting your personal information.

Our procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we share your personal information with you. 
In the unlikely event that we do suffer a security breach, which compromises our protection of your personal information, we will inform you as soon as possible.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

Any personal information you provide will only be retained for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose for which it was provided, or for as long as is necessary and reasonable to enable us to fulfill any statutory or regulatory requirements. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

                 

Who We Share Your Information With

• Staff. We make sure that access to your personal information is limited to those of our staff who need it, and that all staff understands how and why we protect your personal information.
• Third parties that help us to provide services and responses to you.
• Third parties who help us to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions.
• Third parties that help us with mailing services, product services, and repairs, processing product purchases, financial services, audit services, administrative services, IT technologies  (e.g. data storage), security services, insurance claims & warranty claims.
