Privacy policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

This policy explains what ridesycle (ridesycle.com) does with your personal data. In short: we keep what is needed to run your account and your rides, we do not sell data, and we show no tracking ads.

Who is responsible

The controller of your data is [operator: name / company, address, company ID]. Contact: [contact e-mail].

Riding as a guest

As a guest you do not give us any personal data. Your settings, rides, routes and workouts are stored only in your browser on your device (browser storage). We cannot see them. Clearing your browser data deletes them.

With a free account

Heart rate and body data can count as health data. You give them voluntarily, they are optional (except weight, which sets your speed), and they are used only to calculate your ride and your zones in the app. By entering them you explicitly consent to this use (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR); you can delete them at any time.

Bluetooth devices

Your trainer and sensors connect directly to your browser. Their readings are only stored as part of your rides as described above.

Who processes the data for us

Some of these providers may process data outside the EU; in that case they are bound by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

Cookies and browser storage

We use no advertising or analytics cookies. The app uses your browser’s storage for your settings and rides, and – with an account – to keep you logged in. This is strictly necessary for the service you ask for. Sponsor banners in the app are images inside the game; they do not track you.

How long we keep data

Account data is kept while you have an account. When you delete the account (write to [contact e-mail]) your profile, rides and files are deleted within 30 days. Data in your browser stays until you delete it.

Your rights

You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, a copy in a portable format (FIT files can be downloaded any time in the app), and you can object or withdraw consent. Write to [contact e-mail]. You can also complain to the Slovak data protection authority (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov SR, dataprotection.gov.sk) or the authority in your country.

Age

Accounts are for people aged 16 or over.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update it here; important changes will be announced in the app.
