When you register with Cycle2max, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender, any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.

In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Cycle2max. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.

When you use Cycle2max, you may set up your personal profile and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view courses you have created, forum posts, hill climb and circuit times you have posted. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

You post User Content (as defined in the Cycle2max Terms of Use) on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to certain areas of your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages and search engines or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.

Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on Cycle2max is a violation of the Cycle2max Terms of Service and should be reported to [email protected].

We will automatically send your friend a one-time email or instant message inviting him or her to visit the site.

If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for Cycle2max or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on Cycle2max. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].

We recommend that minors over the age of 15 ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

When you register with Cycle2max, you create your own profile. Your profile information, as well as your name and photo, are displayed to people to enable you to connect with people on Cycle2max. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Cycle2max that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by Cycle2max primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others to view that information. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (e.g., posting to your ride times), other Cycle2max users may be able to supplement your profile.

Profile information you submit to Cycle2max will be available to both users of Cycle2max and the general public. Your name, nick names, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across the Cycle2max network and may be made available to third party search engines. People who see your name in searches are able to access all your profile information except your individual ride times if you have set them to private. If you are sensitive about any personal information please do not put this information on your Cycle2max profile as it will be visible for others to see.

Cycle2max may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a forum topic you have participated in is updated, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.

Generally, you may opt out of such emails, though Cycle2max reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Cycle2max is about sharing information with others both in the Cycling community and general public - while providing you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your ride times. It is up to you to make informed choices about what other information you provide. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:

• We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Cycle2max, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, to offer an online job application process, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Cycle2max-specified purposes.
• We occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a glimpse into the Cycle2max world. Such accounts have only limited capabilities and passwords are changed regularly to limit possible misuse.
• We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Cycle2max service or using the Cycle2max name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
• We may provide services jointly with other companies on Cycle2max. You can tell when another company is involved in any service provided on Cycle2max, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.
• Like many other websites that interact with third party sites, we may receive some information even if you are logged out from Cycle2max, or that pertains to non-Cycle2max users, from those sites in conjunction with the technical operation of the system. In cases where Cycle2max receives information on users that are not logged in, or on non-Cycle2max users, we do not attempt to associate it with individual Cycle2max accounts and will discard it.
• If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Cycle2max business, or individual business units owned by Cycle2max Pty Ltd were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use Cycle2max, certain information you post or share with third parties e.g. members of the Cycle2max community or the general public, such as personal information, comments, photos, videos, marketplace listings or other information, may be shared with other users. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other items , this information may become publicly available.

Cycle2max may contain links to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Cycle2max.

Advertisements that appear on Cycle2max are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. Cycle2max does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on Cycle2max unless you choose to share it with them.

This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Cycle2max and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

Access and control over most personal information on Cycle2max is readily available through the profile editing tools. Cycle2max users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their Cycle2max account may do so by contacting [email protected] and requesting their account be removed. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of Cycle2max or the general public.

Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on Cycle2max, however, such as commenting on posted times and forum topics, you generally cannot remove such communications.

Cycle2max takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). (To learn more about SSL, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the security of Cycle2max Web Site, please contact us at [email protected]

Your use of Cycle2max, and any disputes arising from it, is subject to this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Use and all of its dispute resolution provisions including arbitration, limitation on damages and choice of law. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Non-material changes and clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will post them and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's new effective date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or through notice on our home page. We encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
