Privacy Policy

Information we collect

When you submit a contact, buy-bike or sell-bike enquiry, we may collect the details you provide, such as your name, phone number, email address, location and message. We also receive limited technical and usage information, such as pages viewed, browser or device type, IP address and cookie identifiers.

How we use information

We use enquiry details to respond, confirm bike availability, provide buyer or seller support and improve our website. We do not sell personal information. We may use service providers that help us host the website, measure website use, show advertising or communicate with customers.

Google services and advertising

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate website use and may use Google AdSense to support our website with advertising. Google and other advertising partners may collect or receive technical information, including page URLs, IP address, browser or device details, cookies and similar identifiers. This information may be used to serve and measure ads, limit repeat ads, prevent fraud and, where allowed by your settings and applicable consent, personalize ads.

We do not send the contents of enquiry forms or WhatsApp messages to Google Analytics. We use aggregate website events to understand which pages and contact methods are useful to visitors.

Third parties, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser or use web beacons and similar technologies when ads are served on this website. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services.

Cookies and your choices

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functions, analytics and advertising. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also manage Google ad personalization through My Ad Center. Blocking cookies may affect some website features, and you may still see non-personalized ads.

Service providers

We use trusted service providers to operate Old Bikes Hub. This includes Vercel for website hosting, Firebase and Firestore for enquiries and alert subscriptions, Cloudinary for seller-uploaded bike photos, Google for analytics and advertising services, and WhatsApp or Meta when you choose to contact us on WhatsApp. Information is shared only when it is needed to provide the relevant service.

Data sharing and security

We share information only when needed to operate the service, respond to your request, comply with law or protect our rights and users. We use reasonable safeguards, but no online service can guarantee complete security.

Your choices and contact

You can ask us to update or remove your enquiry information, subject to legal and operational requirements. You can also ask us to withdraw a WhatsApp alert subscription at any time. For privacy questions or requests, email admin@oldbikeshub.com or use the contact details on our Contact page.
