Why do we need to collect and store personal data?

In any event, we are committed to ensuring that the information we collect, and use is appropriate for this purpose, and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.

The security of our customer data is a significant concern to Ride On. Ride On has a legal obligation to keep your data safe and to handle it with care. Ride On stores your personal data securely, electronically in password protected applications or in locked repositories in the case of paper-based communications.

How do we use your information?

The GDPR says that Ride On can use and share your personal data only where Ride On has a proper reason for doing so.

The permitted Legal Bases for processing are set out in article 6 of the GDPR. Ride On applies to the following;

  • Consent: you have given clear consent for Ride On to process your personal data for a specific purpose (for example, marketing)

If we wish to pass your sensitive personal data onto a third party we will only do so once we have obtained your consent, unless we are legally required to do otherwise.

How long do we keep your personal data?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
