Privacy Policy

Rider Street View ("we", "us", "our") operates riderstreetview.com and the editorial content published on it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to run and improve the site:

• Information you give us. Your email address when you subscribe to the newsletter or contact us, and the content of any message you send.
• Information collected automatically. Standard server and analytics data such as the page you requested, the referring page, your approximate location, browser type and device category.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Small files stored by your browser that keep the site working and help us measure how articles are read.

How we use information

• To publish and deliver our articles, route guides and travel stories.
• To answer questions you send through our contact channels.
• To understand which content is useful so we can improve it.
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.

Advertising and third-party vendors

We display advertising to keep the site free to read. We use Google AdSense, a service of Google, and we may use other third-party advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Depending on your settings and your location, ads may be personalised. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Your advertising choices

• Turn off personalised advertising in your Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of personalised advertising from many third-party vendors at optout.aboutads.info or www.youronlinechoices.eu.
• Use your browser or device settings to block or delete cookies (this can affect how sites, including ours, work).

Opting out does not stop ads appearing; it means they are no longer based on your browsing behaviour.

Cookies and consent

Cookies are allowed by default so the site works as designed from your first visit. The cookie banner therefore opens with the "Allow cookies" option already selected: keep it to accept, or untick it to decline non-essential cookies. You can revisit your choice at any time by clearing the stored data for this site in your browser, which makes the banner appear again.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share data with the service providers that host the site, deliver our content, measure traffic and, where used, serve advertising (such as Google AdSense), and only as far as needed to provide those services. See the advertising sections above for how to control advertising cookies.

Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as long as the law requires. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Contact us and we will respond within the period required by applicable law.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices. The date of the latest revision is shown on this page.
