What Privacy Principles Are Followed By Epic Rides?
1. Accountability
Epic Rides is responsible for ensuring the protection of the information you have provided to us.

We collect information from you for the following reasons:
- to provide information on our products and services that may be of interest to you; to contact you, when necessary, regarding issues concerning your use of our products and services;

Use of Third-Party Services and Plugins
Our website incorporates functionality provided by third-party services and plugins to enhance your browsing experience. These services may include social sharing features, allowing you to share content directly from our website to your social media platforms.
While we do not directly track user data through these services and plugins, they may interact with third-party services that could track user data. These interactions can occur in two ways:
- Embedded Widgets: Some features on our website integrate embedded widgets from third-party services, such as social media buttons. These services might track user data.
- Third-party APIs/Connections: Certain plugins on our website may send requests to third-party APIs via your web browser to fetch information. This request may include your IP address, which can then be seen by the third-party that it’s being requested from.
Please note that these plugins do not store any data fetched on their own servers, nor do they share that data with any third party. They operate entirely on our website and store the data in our website’s database.
3. Obtaining Your Consent
We will obtain your expressed consent prior to the collection, use or disclosure of your information. Our privacy policy, however, does not limit Epic Rides from collecting and using information that is publicly available. This means, for instance, your name and business email address could be added to our email and/or postal communication list so that we can provide further information to you on our products and services.
We will, however, respect your choice not to be contacted.
