Privacy Policy

Bikealc is a personal project that provides cycling-related tools and calculators for informational purposes. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the site, how it is used, and what choices you have.

By using Bikealc, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should stop using the site.

Information Collected

Bikealc is designed to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible. The site does not require you to create an account, does not request sensitive personal data, and does not process payments.

When you use the site, some technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

• Basic device and browser information
• Approximate location derived from your IP address
• Pages visited and interactions with the site

This type of information is typically collected in an aggregated or pseudonymous form and is used to understand how the site is used and to improve its reliability and performance.

Cookies and Analytics

Bikealc may use privacy-friendly analytics or cookies to understand general usage patterns, such as which tools are most popular and how visitors reach the site. These tools are intended to avoid collecting personally identifiable information where possible.

You can usually control or block cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect how the site functions but should not prevent you from using the core tools.

Use of Information

Information collected through Bikealc may be used to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the site and tools
• Monitor performance, reliability, and security
• Understand aggregate usage trends
• Detect and prevent abuse or misuse of the service

Information is not sold or rented to third parties. Third-party service providers may be used for hosting, analytics, or similar infrastructure, and they may process limited data on behalf of Bikealc under their own terms and privacy policies.

Data Retention

Information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to operate and secure the site, or as required by applicable law. Aggregated or anonymized information may be retained for longer periods for analytics or service improvement.

Third-Party Links

Bikealc may include links to third-party websites or services, such as personal sites, repositories, or documentation. These third parties are not controlled by Bikealc, and their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. You should review those policies before providing any information to third parties.

Your Choices

You can choose not to use Bikealc if you are uncomfortable with this Privacy Policy. You may also configure your browser to limit or block cookies and other tracking technologies.

No Children's Service

Bikealc is intended for use by adults and is not directed toward children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through this site, you can reach out using the contact link so that any such information can be reviewed or removed where appropriate.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect technical, legal, or business changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page indicates when it was most recently revised. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
