PRIVACY POLICY
RideBass.com (“RideBass“) operates RideBass.com and may operate other websites. The privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information received and collected by RideBass.com and how it is used.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, RideBass collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. RideBass.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how RideBass.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, RideBass may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
RideBass also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on RideBass.com blogs/sites. RideBass only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

In each case, RideBass collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with RideBass. RideBass does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
