Pedaling.com understands that your right to privacy is a serious matter. This Policy explains the privacy practices for this website (the “Site”). This Policy will tell you: what personally identifiable information of yours is collected; the organization collecting the information; how the information is used; with whom the information may be shared; what choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information; the kind and efficacy of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under the licensee’s control. Questions regarding this Policy should be directed to spoke@pedaling.com

When and where Pedaling.com ask for/require/gather personal information.
In order to submit rides to Pedaling.com submitters must provide certain information as part of the submission process. We ask, for your name, address and email address. This list is not exhaustive. If, however, you do not supply the information we need, we are unable to compensate or credit you for the submitted ride. Of course, even if you want to remain completely anonymous, you are still free to submit rides and take advantage of the content available on the Site.

Pedaling.com will use information posted on the Pedaling.com bulletin board to learn about our users, provide information to advertisers and to contact users. Do not put any information on the bulletin board that you do not want to be available to Pedaling.com, our advertisers or the general public. Further, we may in the future invoke a standard feature of browser software, called a “cookie,” to assign each visitor a unique, random number. This “user ID”, if you will, resides on your computer. The cookie does not actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply and a cookie cannot read data off of your hard drive. Our advertisers may also assign their own cookies to your browser, a process over which we have no control.

Lastly, our web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you visit the Site. Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send data to you -- such as the web pages you view. Your IP address does not identify you personally.

Pedaling.com use of this information?
User contact information is also used to send orders, information about our company, and promotional material from some of our partners to users.

In addition, we allow access to information to third-party technical service providers, but only to the extent necessary to provide you with the applicable service. In such instances, the third-party is bound by this Policy.

We use cookies to help us deliver a better, more personalized service. For example, we use cookies to avoid repeatedly showing you the same ad during a single visit and to track the pages on the Site visited by our users. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to the Site.

We use your IP address to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor the Site to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within the Site.

Lastly, obviously we will disclose information about you in our possession as required by applicable law or legal process.

Pedaling.com’s privacy policies concerning advertisers and third-party service providers
The Site contains banners and links that allow you to leave our content areas and visit “mini-sites” on our computer that contain information from other organizations and companies. In addition, we offer some features in conjunction with third-party service providers. Remember that when you provide personal information to such organizations, companies, and providers, such as asking to be placed on their mailing lists, you are providing information to them independently of us. Once you leave our servers (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours. We have no control, responsibility, or liability over the use that other companies or organizations make of information that you provide to them directly. If you cannot find the privacy policy of any of these organizations via a link from its homepage, you should contact the organization directly for more information.

Inherent risks of the Internet
All information gathered on the Site is encrypted for storage within a Pedaling.com -controlled database. However, as effective as encryption technology is, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Of course, any information you include in a message you post to any message board, forum or other public posting area is available to anyone with Internet access. If you do not want people to know your email address, for example, do not include it in any message you post publicly.

A note regarding the privacy of children
Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We will not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to provide Pedaling.com with Personal information or access our Bulletin Board

Changes to this Policy
The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the future, we will post the changes before they take effect. Of course, our use of information gathered while the current policy is in effect will always be consistent with the current policy, even if we change that policy later.
