What the forms on this site collect
Two forms run on this site: the interest list, which opens from every “Be First to Ride” button, and the form on the contact page. Both ask for a name, an email address, and a phone number, and both carry a few questions about the riding you have in mind — which country, whether a passenger travels with you, roughly when you could go. You decide what to answer. The email address is the field the company relies on to reply.
The forms also record what every web form records: the date and time you sent it, the page you sent it from, and any advertising or referral parameters carried on that page’s address, so the company can tell which link brought you here.
Where that information goes
Submissions land in the customer system Gentleman Biker uses to keep track of riders, hosted by the company’s technology provider. The founder is alerted to each one by text message and by email, so a message does not sit unread while the company is on a road somewhere. Access is limited to the people who run Gentleman Biker and the provider’s staff who maintain the system.
Records are kept for as long as the company has a reason to keep them — answering you, and telling you when departures open. Ask for deletion and the reason ends that day.
How the site measures itself
Two measurement tools run on these pages. Google Analytics 4 counts visits, pages read, and where visitors arrived from. Microsoft Clarity records session analytics and heatmaps — which links get clicked, how far a page is scrolled, where a layout sends people back the way they came — so the site can be fixed rather than guessed at.
Neither tool is given your name, email address, or phone number. Both set their own cookies and are governed by Google’s and Microsoft’s privacy policies as well as this one.
Cookies and the choices your browser gives you
Cookies on this site do three jobs: they let the analytics tools recognise a returning visitor as the same visitor, they remember the advertising parameters that brought you here so a form submission can be credited to the right link, and they keep the site behaving as you move between pages. Blocking or clearing cookies in your browser will not stop you reading the journal or sending a form.
What Gentleman Biker will not do with your information
Your information is not sold, rented, or traded. It is not passed to other tour operators, to hotels, or to advertisers. It is used to reply to you, to tell you when a departure opens, and to run the company. Every message the company sends can be stopped by asking, and asking once is enough.
Two exceptions exist, and both are ordinary: the technology providers that run the customer system, the email and text alerts, and the analytics described above process data on the company’s behalf under their own agreements; and the company will hand over records where the law requires it.
Asking for a copy, a correction, or deletion
Write to interest@gentlemanbiker.com and say what you want: a copy of what the company holds about you, a correction to it, or deletion. Include the email address or phone number you used, so the record can be found. Deletion removes the record from the customer system and takes the name off the interest list. Email the company already sent you stays in your own inbox, where only you can delete it.
Children
This site is built for adults who ride motorcycles, and the forms are not aimed at anyone under eighteen. Gentleman Biker does not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has sent information through this site, write to interest@gentlemanbiker.com and the record will be deleted.
Changes to this policy
This policy will grow as the company does: the first departures bring a booking system and a payment processor, and both will be described here before they take a rider’s money. The revision date at the top of the page moves whenever the text does, and the current version always lives at this address.
