Privacy Policy
Outline
This Privacy Policy outlines how Travel Stories Biking Community (TSBC), operating via https://tsbikingcommunity.com, collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information. TSBC respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal data you share with us when using our website, booking a ride, creating an account, or participating in our community.
By accessing our website or engaging in any TSBC services, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
When you use our website, we collect various types of information to identify you, process your participation, and provide community services.
This includes personal details such as your full name, age, gender, and blood group, which are primarily collected during ride registration or account creation. We also collect your vehicle details, including bike model, registration number, and your valid driving license number to confirm eligibility for rides.
In addition, we require contact details such as your email address, phone number, and billing address to send confirmations, updates, and facilitate communications. Emergency contact information is collected solely to ensure safety during group rides and is accessible only to authorized crew in the event of an incident.
When you create an account on our platform, we store your chosen username, email address, and an encrypted version of your password. We do not collect or store raw password data.
Furthermore, we may automatically gather technical and usage information through cookies, such as your IP address, browser type, device ID, pages visited, and time spent on the site, to help us improve functionality and user experience.
How We Use Your Information
TSBC uses the information we collect in a lawful, transparent, and secure manner. Your personal details help us process registrations for rides and events, verify your eligibility to participate, assign you to the appropriate group, and contact you regarding scheduling, route changes, or safety protocols.
We use your contact information to provide updates on upcoming rides, newsletters, promotions, community announcements, and personalized communication. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by clicking the opt-out link in our emails or contacting us directly.
Emergency data such as blood group and emergency contact numbers are used strictly for on-ride medical preparedness and crisis response. This data is never disclosed publicly or accessed beyond what is necessary for your safety.
We may also use anonymized website usage data to analyze traffic, improve site content, and enhance the user experience through technical diagnostics and user behavior insights.
Embedded content from other websites
The collection of health and emergency data is a fundamental component of our commitment to rider safety. Your blood group, bike registration details, and emergency contact information are securely stored and accessed only by ride leads or medical volunteers during emergencies.
This information will not be shared with other participants or used for any non-essential purposes. Its sole purpose is to facilitate first aid or medical coordination in the rare event of an accident or emergency during TSBC events.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Access
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to external parties for marketing or commercial gain.
We may, however, share your data with trusted third parties involved in providing services on our behalf. This includes payment gateway providers for processing transactions securely, website hosting and analytics services to improve site functionality, and third-party plugins like WP Travel Engine which support event management and ride logistics.
In cases where we are legally obligated to disclose your information—such as responding to law enforcement requests, preventing fraud, or complying with a court order—we may do so to the extent required by Indian law.
Payment Data and Financial Security
TSBC uses reputable third-party payment gateways to facilitate payments for ride bookings and merchandise. We do not directly store or process any payment credentials such as card numbers or CVVs.
All transactions are encrypted and securely handled by the payment processors. Users are encouraged to check and agree to the terms of the specific payment gateway used at the time of transaction. In case of failed or duplicate transactions, users should contact us within 24 hours to initiate verification and resolution.
Cookies and Website Analytics
We use cookies—small text files stored on your browser—to enhance the browsing experience. Cookies help us remember your login details, maintain session continuity, and understand site traffic patterns.
By using the website, you consent to the use of these cookies. You can control cookie preferences by adjusting your browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect certain features or functionality of the site.
We also use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to collect non-identifiable data for the purpose of understanding user behavior and improving site performance.
Data Security Measures
TSBC takes your data protection seriously. We implement appropriate physical, technical, and organizational safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, or misuse of personal information.
All data transmitted via our website is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. Access to sensitive information is limited to authorized personnel only, and data is stored on secure servers with updated firewall protections.
While we do our best to safeguard your information, no digital system is 100% immune to threats. Therefore, we encourage users to use strong passwords and protect their login credentials at all times.
User Rights and Access
As a registered user of TSBC, you have the right to request access to your personal information, correct or update inaccuracies, or request deletion of your account and associated data. Certain ride history or registration data may be retained for legal or safety audit purposes.
You also have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential communications at any time. All such requests can be made by emailing admin@tsbikingcommunity.com.
Retention of Data
Your data will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Inactive accounts may be periodically reviewed and purged, and emergency contact data will be securely deleted if you no longer participate in TSBC activities.
Children’s Privacy
TSBC does not permit participation or account creation by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware of such data being submitted, we will delete it immediately.

TSBC reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy as needed to reflect changes in operations, legal requirements, or service offerings. Updated policies will be published on this page with a new effective date. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.
