Privacy Policy
We collect minimal data of our own and never sell it to third parties.
This Privacy Policy describes how eBikeLocal.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information when you use our website.
Information We Collect
Analytics data. We use a privacy-focused analytics tool (Plausible or similar) to understand aggregate traffic patterns - pages viewed, referral sources, and general geographic regions. This data is anonymous and not linked to any individual. No cookies are set for analytics.
Search queries. When you use the shop search feature, your search query is processed to return results. We do not store individual search queries linked to user identities.
No accounts required. eBikeLocal does not require account creation. We do not collect names, email addresses, or personal information unless you voluntarily contact us.
Cookies
We set no cookies for our own analytics or functionality. However, we do use Google AdSense to serve advertising, and Google sets cookies (including the __gads and __gpi cookies) to serve and measure ads, and - where permitted - to personalize them based on your visits to this and other sites. Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use these cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this site.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are shown a consent message before personalized ads are used.
Affiliate links may additionally result in a cookie being set by the destination retailer's website - this is outside our control and governed by their privacy policies.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may process data:
- Google Maps Embed API - for displaying shop location maps. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google AdSense - for serving advertising. Google may set cookies (including
__gads/__gpi) to serve and measure ads and, where consented, to personalize them - see the Cookies section above. Governed by Google's Ads Technologies policy. - Vercel - for website hosting. May collect standard server logs (IP addresses, request headers). Governed by Vercel's Privacy Policy.
- Affiliate networks (AvantLink, ShareASale, Impact, Amazon) - when you click affiliate links, these services may set cookies. Each is governed by their own privacy policy.
Data We Do NOT Collect
- We do not build individual user profiles of our own
- We do not sell personal data to third parties
- We do not collect payment information (all purchases happen on brand/retailer sites)
Note: Google AdSense, as described in the Cookies section above, may serve personalized advertising to visitors who consent or have not opted out. If you would like to opt out of personalized ads, use Google's Ads Settings.
Your Rights
