1. Who We Are

Bike Reviews India (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website https://bikereviewsindia.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner.

2. Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

3. Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading photos that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract location information from such images.

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience.

  • If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

  • When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

  • When you log in, cookies store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks.

  • A copy (exported file) of your personal data we hold, and
