At Snap Performance Cycling, accessible via https://snapperformance.co.nz, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you interact with our website.

Information We Collect
1. Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can find Gravatar’s Privacy Policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

2. Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., via comments), please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from such images.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year and allow you to avoid re-entering details for subsequent comments.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may include embedded content, such as videos or articles, from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you were visiting the originating website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into their website.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

Your Data Rights
If you have left comments on our site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us at [Insert Contact Email].
