About Your Privacy
This
document describes the practices of Bicycle Newswire
with respect to the collection of user information from
this website and the use and disclosure of such information.
This document only applies to this website and does not address
information we obtain from places other than this website.
In addition, other sites on the web (including those we link
to) have their own practices; and in all cases we encourage
you to ask questions and to provide data only to sites whose
practices you understand and trust.
Collection
of Information
We collect non-personally identifiable information about you
in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through
your IP address or most-recently-visited URL. However,
we do not collect any personally identifiable information
about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to
us, such as by filling out a form or survey, entering a contest
or sweepstakes, registering your e-mail address with us or
e-mailing us.
We do
not wish to obtain personally identifiable information from
children who are using our site unsupervised. Thus,
we ask children to obtain the consent of their parent or guardian
before providing us with any personally identifiable information.
Disclosure
of Information
Unless we tell you otherwise, we do not sell or rent your
personally identifiable information to any third parties.
However, we might share your personally identifiable information
with other Bicycle Newswire companies, and we may sell and rent aggregated
(non-personally identifiable) information about our users
generally.
Use
of Information
We use personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable
information for internal marketing purposes and for site administration.
However, unless we tell you otherwise, we usually do not use
personally identifiable information collected from the website
to send unsolicited mailings to you. Of course, if applicable,
we do use personally identifiable information to perform the
services for which such data was collected (i.e., if you sign
up for an e-mail newsletter, we will send the e-mail newsletter
to the address you provide us).
Review
and Removal of Your Personally Identifiable Data
If you provide us with personally identifiable information
to have us perform ongoing services to you we will do our
best to provide you with a way to review the information we
have on file and either change or remove such data; however,
to the extent that such information is also stored in other
databases, we cannot always ensure that such corrections or
deletions will reach the other databases.
Security
We use industry-standard methods to protect your personally
identifiable information from unauthorized access. Such
information is accessible only by designated staff or authorized
agents. Third parties should not be able to access it during
transmission. Among other techniques, we usually store such
information on a computer behind our firewall in a secure
location, and we often restrict the number of employees internally
who can access such data. Of course, there is no such
thing as “perfect security” on the Internet.
Further, please note that our servers are run by a third party
web host whose actions we do not control. In the unlikely
event of a breach despite out efforts, we shall not be responsible
for the interception. We do not sell, rent, or loan any personal
information about our customers to any unauthorized party
at any time.
Amendments
Amendments to this policy will be posted at this URL and will
be effective when posted.
