Privacy Policy

Account Information: When you register, we collect your email address, username, and password (stored as a secure hash). If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account email and profile name — we do not receive or store your Google password. You may optionally provide your location (city/country).

User Content: Photos, videos, text, and other materials you upload to the Platform are stored on our servers and third-party storage providers. This includes content posted on moto club walls. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to any content you upload; RiderDNA acts only as a host and removes infringing content upon valid notice — see our Terms of Service.

Club Membership: When you join, create, or interact with moto clubs, we store your membership status, role, and activity (wall posts, join requests). Club owners and admins can see the member list of their clubs.

Usage Data: We collect basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used solely for security purposes and improving the Platform.

Device & Security Data: To protect the Platform from abuse and enforce account bans, we collect a browser fingerprint (a hash derived from your browser's technical characteristics such as screen resolution, timezone, and graphics capabilities) and a randomly generated device identifier stored in your browser. We also use your IP address to determine your approximate geographic location (country/city) via a local GeoIP database. This data is used exclusively for security and abuse prevention — never for advertising or tracking.

Cookies & Local Storage: We use session cookies for authentication and "remember me" functionality. We use browser localStorage, IndexedDB, and Cache API to store your theme preferences (dark/light mode, color accent) and a device identifier for security purposes. These are strictly functional — we do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics cookies.

We use your information exclusively to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Platform
• Authenticate your identity and secure your account
• Display your content to other users as intended (based on your visibility settings)
• Send you service-related emails (password resets, friend requests, notifications you opted into)
• Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security threats
• Improve the Platform based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns

We do NOT use your information for advertising, profiling, or behavioral targeting.

RiderDNA does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Period.

We will never monetize your data. Your information exists on our platform to serve you, not to be packaged and sold.

We use the following third-party services to operate the Platform:

• Cloudflare R2 — for storing uploaded photos and videos (EU jurisdiction)
• Cloudflare Turnstile — to protect forms from automated abuse. This service may collect limited technical data subject to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy
• Google Identity Services — for optional "Sign in with Google" authentication. When used, Google provides us your email and profile name. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy
• MaxMind GeoIP — a locally hosted database to determine approximate geographic location from IP addresses. No data is sent to external services for this purpose
• Email delivery providers — for sending transactional emails (password resets, notifications)

These services process data only as necessary to provide their specific function. We do not share your data with any other third parties.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information, profile data, and uploaded content within a reasonable timeframe.

Some data may be retained in anonymized form for aggregate statistics, or as required by law (e.g., for legal compliance or dispute resolution).

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection — object to the processing of your personal data
• Restriction — request restriction of processing under certain conditions

To exercise any of these rights, contact us. We will respond within 30 days.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

RiderDNA is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we discover that a child under 16 has created an account, we will take steps to delete the account and associated data promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
