Affiliate Links and Third-Party Retailers
Cycling Indoor publishes product reviews, comparisons, and buying guides. Some links on the website may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and buy a product from a third-party retailer, at no extra cost to you.
When you click an affiliate link, the third-party retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or tracking technologies to record that Cycling Indoor referred you. Any purchase, payment, delivery, refund, warranty claim, or account activity is handled by the third-party retailer, not by Cycling Indoor.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party retailers, affiliate networks, manufacturers, or external websites. Please review their privacy policies before submitting personal information or making a purchase through those websites.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on Cycling Indoor may include embedded content such as videos, images, social media posts, maps, or other media from third-party websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into an account with that third-party service.
Advertising
Cycling Indoor may display advertising or sponsored content. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, or understand how users interact with ads.
Sponsored content, paid partnerships, or affiliate relationships will be disclosed where relevant. We do not accept payment in exchange for dishonest positive reviews.

- Analytics providers such as Google Analytics or similar services.
- Email services used to receive and respond to messages.
- Affiliate networks or third-party retailers when you click affiliate links.
- Embedded content providers such as YouTube, social media platforms, or similar services.
We only share information where necessary for the operation, security, measurement, or legal compliance of the website. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or website security.
How Long We Keep Data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required for legal, security, or administrative reasons.

- Analytics data may be retained according to the settings of the analytics provider.
- Security logs may be kept temporarily to detect and prevent abuse, spam, attacks, or unauthorised access.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal data from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, disclosure, or alteration. These steps may include HTTPS encryption, secure hosting, security monitoring, spam protection, password protection, software updates, and access controls.
