OUR PARTNERS
At UK Cycling Events, accessible from https://www.ukcyclingevents.co.uk, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by UK Cycling Events and how we use it.
This Privacy Policy explains how UK Cycling Events LTD collects and uses your information and how you can influence this. UK Cycling Events LTD is a company established in England with its registered address at Unit C10a, Admiralty Park, Holton Heath, Dorset, BH16 6HX.
We will collect various types of information about you through your use of our site to process your requests and orders, to provide a more personalised web-surfing and shopping experience and to help us improve the services we offer. In doing this we also collect information about you through the use of cookies and similar technologies.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information. An example of this is when purchasing an event entry via our online shop. You will need to provide information about each rider so we can arrange for your entry to the event. Riders will be sent email information regarding their entry regardless of their marketing preferences. Those completing the order will also be asked to opt-in to our marketing channels should they wish to receive news, offers or information about our products and services. We will use this information to send you the relevant communications depending on those opt-ins. Anyone can unsubscribe from our marketing options at any time.
If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.
When you register for an Account, we may ask for your contact information, including items such as name, company name, address, email address, and telephone number.
We use the information we collect in various ways, including:
UK Cycling Events follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
Like any other website, UK Cycling Events uses 'cookies'. These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.
We use Google Analytics which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with our sites. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to collect information about how users interact with our sites, which is used to compile reports for improvements to our services. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. Data from Google Analytics could be combined with our first-party data and third-party cookies (like Google’s advertising cookies) to deliver appropriate advertising to you.
Cookies are also used when you share information using a social media sharing button on the sites. The social network will record that you have done this. This information can be linked to targeting/advertising activities. We also market our own products and services on social media and use cookies to help with this. For example, we place a pixel on our sites that allows Facebook to place cookies on web browsers. When a visitor to our site who uses Facebook returns to Facebook, Facebook can identify them as part of a group of our site visitors and can serve them with marketing messages from us on our behalf. The types of cookies used by these third parties and how they use the information generated by them will be governed by those companies’ privacy policies.
