Privacy Policy

As you mount your trusty digital steed and navigate through the landscapes of our website, https://thepedalquest.com, the guardians of PedalQuest will honour and protect your privacy, as valiantly as the heroes of old protected the secrets of the Highlands.

Who We Are 

We are PedalQuest, the chroniclers of cycling sagas and the modern-day minstrels of movement and myth. Our digital abode is https://thepedalquest.com, a haven for all who quest for tales of adventure and the embrace of the outdoors.

Comments

Should you grace us with your wisdom in the form of comments, we shall collect the data displayed, your IP address, and browser agent string to keep away the relentless internet trolls (spam detection).

A hash of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to confirm your use (policy found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/). Once your comment wins our acclaim, your visage (profile picture) will be visible in the context of your comment, for all fellow adventurers to see.

Media

In sharing your illustrious images, take heed to shield them from containing EXIF GPS (location data)—lest your secret explorations be revealed to the navigating masses.

Cookies

As meticulous as a cartographer’s tools, cookies aid in recalling your details, sparing you from repetitious inscribing upon subsequent comments. These will accompany you for a year.

Should you beseech entrance through our login portal, cookies will be used to ensure your passage, discarded like a redundant map once your visit concludes.

Upon logging in, cookies shall preserve your credentials and visual preferences. They are steadfast companions for two days or a year, depending on their nature. Select “Remember Me,” and they shall remain for a fortnight’s time. Should you disembark from your account, these loyal cookies will withdraw.

Editing or decreeing a new tale? Another cookie shall highlight this event in your browser’s chronicles, dissolving after a day like morning mist.

Embedded Content from Other Realms

Like portals to distant lands, our site may contain embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.). These operate as if you had ventured directly to their origins.

These distant realms may seek to know you better, using cookies and tracking, and noting your engagement with their enshrined content, especially if you hold citizenship (are logged in) within their territories.

Sharing Your Data

In times when you must reclaim access through a password reset, know that your herald (IP address) shall be included in the dispatch (reset email).

Retaining Your Chronicles

The comments you bestow upon us will be held in perpetuity, allowing us to swiftly approve your future contributions without delay.

Should you enlist with us (register on our site), we shall safeguard the credentials you furnish within your user stronghold. You may gaze upon, refine, or dissolve them at your pleasure (though your title, username, remains unalterable). Our site stewards (administrators) can also view and adjust this information.

Your Sovereign Rights

Should you hold an account or have left commentary, call upon us to bequeath you a tome (exported file) of the personal data we harbour of yours. You may also decree the erasure of your data from our annals. Exceptions exist where administrative, legal, or security duties bind us.

Where Your Data Ventures

To stave off the spectre of spam, your comments may journey through the realm of automated detection services.

Should our policy shift like the winds over Scottish lochs, we pledge to signal clear as a beacon. Your continued alliance with PedalQuest shall be taken as assent to stand together against the winds of change.
