Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

The Big Ring Report (bigringreport.com) is a cycling news aggregator that collects and displays links to articles published by third-party cycling media outlets. We do not host or reproduce the full text of any third-party article.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal data to operate the site. When you visit The Big Ring Report, our server logs your IP address and browser user-agent string for security and analytics purposes. We do not use this data to identify you personally. We store a hashed (one-way encrypted) fingerprint derived from your IP address and user-agent solely to count unique daily visitors — no personally identifiable information is retained.

If you create an account (optional), we store your name and email address as provided via Manus OAuth. We use this information only to authenticate you and to display your name within the site.

3. Cookies

We use a single session cookie to keep you logged in if you have created an account. This cookie is strictly necessary for authentication and is not used for tracking or advertising. We do not use third-party tracking cookies.

4. Third-Party Links

All article links on this site point to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit.

5. Advertising

We may display third-party advertisements on this site. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve relevant ads. Please refer to each advertiser's privacy policy for details on their data practices.

6. Data Retention

Visitor analytics data (hashed fingerprints and page view counts) are retained for up to 90 days. Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account data at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the address below.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
