Privacy & Cookies

A Ride For Life (ARFL) is a non-commercial community project providing free public information on climate, nature and the countryside. We do not sell anything and we do not run ads.

• Nothing by default. You can browse every page without giving us any information.
• Contact and competition entries. If you send a message or enter a competition we receive what you choose to send: your name, email, message, and any photo or link you attach.
• Local browser storage. Features like "My Nature", favourites, quiz scores and your in-browser colouring are saved only in your own browser using localStorage. We never see them.
• Anonymous usage statistics. We may use privacy-respecting analytics to count page views. No cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles.

• To reply to your message or judge your competition entry.
• To publish stories, photos or artwork only with your permission.
• To improve the site (which pages are popular, where people get stuck).

We never sell your data. We never share it for marketing.

We use only essential cookies needed for the site to work. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If we ever add optional analytics cookies we will ask first.

You can ask us at any time to: see what data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email us via the contact page and we will reply within 30 days.

We welcome entries from children with a parent or guardian. We only ever publish a first name and a county, never a full name, school or address.

Our site is hosted on Lovable Cloud (Supabase infrastructure). Uploaded competition photos are stored in a private bucket. External links open in a new tab and are governed by those sites' own privacy policies.

This policy was last reviewed in 2025. If we make a significant change we will note it here.
