Commitment to Rider Privacy and Data Security

Community Engagement

When cyclists share feedback or race results on our platform, we collect the details provided in the submission forms, along with technical data to prevent spam and ensure the integrity of our community discussions.

An anonymised string generated from your email (hash) may be checked against the Gravatar service to display your profile image alongside your product reviews or forum contributions. The privacy policy for that service is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once verified, your rider profile picture is public.
