A. Overview

In order to operate the Project Velo Racing service and to reduce the risk of fraud, Project Velo Racing may ask you to provide us information about yourself and your credit card and/or bank account. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect and how we use that information.

Project Velo Racing takes the privacy of your personal information very seriously and will use your information only in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information or a list of our customers to third parties. However, as described in more detail in Part C below, there are limited circumstances in which some of your information will be shared with third parties, under strict restrictions, so it is important for you to review this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies to all services that are hosted on the projectveloracing.com Web site.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should contact Project Velo Racing at support@projectveloracing.com.

Project Velo Racing will hold and transmit your personal information in a safe, confidential and secure environment. If you object to your personal information being transferred or used as described in this Privacy Policy, please do not register for the Project Velo Racing service.

Notification of Changes

This policy may be revised over time as new features are added to the Project Velo Racing service or as we incorporate suggestions from our customers. If we are going to use or disclose your personally identifiable information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time we collected the information, you will have a choice as to whether or not we use or disclose your information in this new manner. Any material changes will be effective only after we provide you by e-mail with at least 30 days' notice of the amended Privacy Policy (if you have closed your Project Velo Racing account, you will not be contacted to notify you of the amended Policy and your personal information will not be used or disclosed in this new manner).

We will post the amended Privacy Policy prominently on our Web site so that you can always review what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone.

Because of the way that World Wide Web communication standards work, when you arrive at or leave the Project Velo Racing Web site, we automatically receive the Web address of the site that you came from or are going to. We also collect information on which pages of our Web site you visit while you are on the Project Velo Racing site, the type of browser you use and the times you access our Web site.

Our Use of "Cookies"

"Cookies" are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us to recognize you as a Project Velo Racing member if you return to the Project Velo Racing site using the same computer and browser. We send a "session cookie" to your computer if and when you log in to your Project Velo Racing account by entering your e-mail address and/or username and password. These cookies allow us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages in our site during the same session, so that you don't need to re-enter your password multiple times. Once you log out or close your browser, these session cookies expire and no longer have any effect.

We also use longer-lasting cookies to display your e-mail address and/or username on our sign-in form, so that you don't have to retype the information each time when you log in to your Project Velo Racing account.

Questionnaires, Surveys and Profile Data

From time to time, we offer optional questionnaires and surveys to our members for such purposes as collecting demographic information or assessing members' interests and needs. The use of the information collected will be explained in detail in the survey itself. If we collect personally identifiable information from our users in these questionnaires and surveys, the users will be given notice of how the information will be used prior to their participation in the survey or questionnaire.

C. Our Use and Disclosure of Information

We work with third party merchants to enable them to accept payments from you, including direct credit card payments. Merchants who use this service will share personally identifiable information you provide to them in order to validate the information, assess the risks of your payment, or confirm the existence or status of your account. You permit Project Velo Racing to share information with the merchant on the validity of the personally identifiable information you provided to the merchant, and on the existence or status of your account.

Our Contacts with Project Velo Racing Members
