At Bicycle Component Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”), we approach your privacy with the same precision engineering that goes into our 3D titanium components and ceramic bearings. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit procyclecomponents.com (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

To provide our premium cycling components and seamless service, we collect:

  • Personal Information: Name, email, shipping/billing address, phone number when you place an order or create an account
  • Payment Information: Credit/debit card details (processed securely via tokenization), PayPal email (when applicable)
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and Site usage patterns
  • Communication Data: Emails, live chat transcripts, and service requests sent to [email protected]

2. How We Use Your Information

Like our OSPW X systems optimize drivetrain efficiency, we use your data to:

  • Process and fulfill orders for performance components
  • Provide 256-bit encrypted transaction security equivalent to our ceramic bearing protection
  • Respond to inquiries with the same speed we expect from our drivetrain systems (typically within 2 business hours)
  • Improve Site functionality and product offerings for performance cyclists
  • Conduct fraud prevention checks, particularly for international orders
  • Send service-related communications (order confirmations, shipping updates)

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We handle your data with the same discretion we apply to our Limited Edition components:

  • Service Providers: Shipping carriers, payment processors (PCI-compliant), and IT security firms assisting with our regular audits
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights (fraud investigations, etc.)
  • Business Transfers: In the event of merger/acquisition, with confidentiality protections
  • Never Sold: We don’t sell rider data to third-party marketers

4. Data Storage & Security

Your information is protected with bank-level security measures:

  • All payment data is tokenized – we never store raw card numbers
  • Military-grade 256-bit SSL encryption for all transmissions
  • Regular penetration testing by independent cybersecurity firms
  • Data stored on secure servers with restricted access
  • Retention periods aligned with legal requirements and business needs

5. Your Rights

You control your data like a pro cyclist controls their drivetrain:

  • Access/Correction: Review and update account information via your profile
  • Deletion: Request removal of personal data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails (transactional messages still sent)
  • Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in machine-readable format
  • Exercise rights by emailing [email protected]

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use these technologies with the precision of our CeramicSpeed balls:

  • Essential Cookies: Enable checkout functionality and account access
  • Performance Cookies: Analyze Site usage patterns to optimize performance
  • Marketing Cookies: Show relevant component recommendations (manage via browser settings)
  • Third-Party Tools: Google Analytics (with IP anonymization), secure payment widgets

Manage preferences via your browser settings or our cookie consent banner.

7. International Data Transfers

As a global retailer (excluding some Asian regions and remote locations):

  • Data may be transferred to countries with different privacy laws
  • We implement Standard Contractual Clauses and other safeguards
  • Currency conversion occurs during payment processing (prices displayed in USD)

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy like we upgrade our Oversized Pulley Wheel Systems – with notice of material changes. Continued Site use constitutes acceptance.
