Privacy Policy

1. Overview

BikeGrid is committed to handling your information transparently. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used. By using BikeGrid, you agree to the practices described here.

2. What we collect

• Usage data: Pages visited, search filters applied, links clicked, and general browsing behaviour on the site, collected via analytics tools.
• Device and connection data: Browser type, device type, operating system, and IP address, collected automatically by our hosting and analytics infrastructure.
• Cookies and browser storage: We use browser localStorage to remember your selected region and any deals you have pinned. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time from the filter sidebar or by clearing your browser's site data.
• Email addresses (if provided): If you sign up for deal alerts or contact us, we collect the email address you supply.

3. How we use your data

• Email addresses are used only to send the alerts or responses you specifically requested. We do not sell or share your email address with third parties.
• Analytics data is used to understand how the site is used and to improve its content and performance.
• We display ads through Google AdSense (see Third-party services below), which may use cookies to serve relevant ads. We ourselves do not build individual user profiles or sell any personal data.

4. Data we do not collect

BikeGrid only scrapes public, non-personal product information from retailer websites — bike models, prices, specifications, and publicly available images. We explicitly filter out and discard any personal identifiers that may appear in source listings, such as private seller names, phone numbers, or addresses.

5. Third-party services

BikeGrid may use third-party tools such as analytics platforms and hosting providers. These services may collect usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We select providers that meet reasonable data protection standards.

Advertising: BikeGrid uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may set and read cookies on your device to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can learn how Google uses this data and manage your ad preferences at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

6. Data retention

Analytics data is retained only as long as necessary to improve the service. If you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence for a reasonable period to handle your enquiry.

7. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you by contacting us. We will respond to all valid requests promptly.

8. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated at any time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
