cyclingcompass is a free, public directory. We collect as little personal data as we can, and we don't sell or share it. This page explains, in plain language, what that means.
You can browse the entire directory without an account and without giving us any personal information. We do not require sign-up.
We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Apart from what's needed for the site to function, the only cookie we set is a first-party Google Analytics cookie used to measure aggregate usage. You can block or clear it at any time without breaking the site.
A few parts of the site rely on reputable third parties: traffic is measured with Google Analytics, photography is served from the Unsplash image CDN, and “Get directions” links open Google Maps or OpenStreetMap. Following those links, and the data Google Analytics processes, is subject to those services' own privacy policies.
Listings are compiled from public sources; see our methodology for the full list. If you're a shop owner and want your listing corrected or removed, just contact us through the listing form or email hello@cyclingcompass.com.
You can ask what information we hold about you, request a copy, or ask us to delete it. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal information, though we don't sell or share it in the first place.
