About VeloDecide
VeloDecide (https://velodecide.com) publishes research-based electric bicycle comparisons and buying guides. This policy explains how information may be collected and used when you visit our website.
Information We May Collect
When you browse the site, our hosting and security services may process technical information such as IP address, browser details, requested pages, and timestamps. If you voluntarily contact us, we may process the name, email address, and message you provide. We do not ask visitors to submit payment information through our editorial pages.
Analytics and Cookies
We use Google Site Kit to connect Google Analytics 4. Subject to applicable consent requirements and site configuration, Analytics may measure visits, page views, and interactions, including outbound link clicks. Cookies or similar identifiers may be used for these purposes. We aim to provide appropriate choices regarding non-essential tracking; until consent controls have been fully verified, visitors may also manage cookies through their browser settings. Browser controls do not necessarily prevent all non-cookie analytics processing.
Product and Affiliate Links
Our pages may link to third-party manufacturers or retailers. Following these links takes you to websites with their own privacy and cookie policies. Not every product link is an affiliate link. If affiliate tracking becomes active, relevant disclosures will appear near affected content and in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Embedded and Third-Party Services
Embedded videos, media, maps, fonts, and other third-party resources, if used on a page, may connect to providers outside VeloDecide. Their collection practices are governed by their own notices. Google services and our hosting provider may process data on our behalf or as independent providers according to their applicable terms.
Purpose and Legal Basis
Information may be used to operate and secure the website, respond to inquiries, understand content performance, maintain services, and meet legal obligations. Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or analytics, we will seek that consent before using the relevant technologies.
Sharing and International Processing
We do not sell information submitted through our contact channels. Service providers involved in hosting, website security, email delivery, and analytics may process information to deliver their services. Data may be handled in countries other than your own, with safeguards required by applicable law.
Retention and Security
We retain information only as reasonably necessary for website operations, inquiries, security, and legal purposes. Retention periods may vary by service and data type. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no online system is completely secure.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise applicable rights, use our Contact page. You can also manage or clear cookies in your browser.
Children
VeloDecide is intended for general audiences researching e-bikes, not specifically for children. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children.
Policy Updates and Contact
We may revise this policy when our practices or legal requirements change. The updated date identifies the current version. For privacy inquiries, please use our Contact page. Related information: Affiliate Disclosure.
