Privacy Policy
Welcome to Bodhi Bicycles. We respect your privacy and we are committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of the personal data we collect. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we collect from and about you and what we do with the information.

Bodhi Bicycles, LLC, ("Bodhi Bicycles") owns and operates the BodhiBikes.com website. If you have any questions regarding the content on our website or our privacy policy, please contact us by mail: Bodhi Bicycles, LLC, 3221 Collinsworth Street, Suite 108, Fort Worth, TX, 76107.

Use and collection of information
The information we collect may include your personal information, such as name, contact information, credit card information (only when you’re making a purchase), IP addresses, phone conversations, emails, written correspondences, product selections, orders, and registrations, or through other services that identify you personally.
We may also conduct surveys, contests, sweepstakes and/or special events through the Website. Participation and response to our surveys is entirely voluntary. To participate in these events, you must meet the designated criteria for participation, and minimum age requirements (for example, twenty-one (21) years of age or older) for the specific event. We may retain personal information for an indefinite amount of time to preserve our database and to comply with various federal and state laws.
We collect personal information for multiple purposes. For example, we collect this information to operate our membership base, protect the security of our visitors and the website, improve our products, service and the website, distribute our newsletters, notify the winners of our contests and sweepstakes, allow participation in specified activities and for future marketing and/or promotional use in connection with the website and other products and services provided by Bodhi Bicycles.
We will always try to provide you with an opportunity to decline this service when such information is requested from you online. If you later decide you would rather not receive this information, or would like to opt-out of any other information request or distribution, simply reply to any e-mail sent to you by Bodhi Bicycles and type UNSUBSCRIBE as the subject of your reply or in the message of the e-mail.
The only personal information the website obtains about you is information voluntarily provided by you through the website. This means that a person can visit the website and navigate through the website without giving us personal information. To gauge the effectiveness of the website, we may collect non-personal information about our members and visitors, such as Internet server and browser identification, the Internet service provider, clickstream information, the web page from which a person enters our site, webpages visited, durations of visits and domain types. This information does not reveal a visitor's personal identity.
Use and collection of information by operational providers
For the convenience of visitors to our website, we may provide the opportunity to purchase certain goods, merchandise and services. Companies other than Bodhi Bicycles may handle some of these transactions. We call these companies that conduct our e-commerce operations, order fulfillment and/or contract services "operational providers." If you choose to use these optional services, our operational providers will request your personal information to fulfill your order or request. The voluntary submission of your personal information to these operational providers, including your order or request, will be governed by the specific provider's terms of usage and privacy policies.
To facilitate an order or request, we may share your personal information with the operational provider. The operational provider may also share your personal information with us. We will store this information in our membership database. In most instances, we request that our operational providers adhere to the provisions in our privacy policy and that such providers only share visitors' personal information with Bodhi Bicycles, unless necessary to complete a visitor's request or order. We also request that these providers only use the personal information for the purpose of conducting the sale or fulfilling the requested service or order. However, you must read an operational provider’s own privacy policy to determine the extent of use and disclosure of your personal information collected online. Bodhi Bicycles is not responsible for the collection, use and disclosure practices of operational providers, nor is Bodhi Bicycles responsible or liable for the products or services provided by operational providers.
Use of Cookies and Tracking Devices
This website does not currently use cookies. However, for future releases, it is important to note that we will use cookies. A cookie is a small data file that a website places on your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit a site. The cookie is able to store information such as data about your computer, the type of browser you use, and how many times your computer visits a site. Cookies do not retrieve personal information from your computer that you haven't already provided. Cookies enable companies to track how often visitors are visiting a website and specific pages, the number of entries in specific events, to improve the website visitor experience, and viewing preferences. You can refuse to use cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use most websites. However, you may find that some areas on a website will be slower, or may not function at all, and you may not be able to participate in certain future activities on our website, such as contests or sweepstakes if the cookies are disabled.
Disclosure of Collected Information to Third Parties
We only share or disclose your personal information with companies other than Bodhi Bicycles when: it is required by federal, state, and local laws; disclosure is necessary to operate the website or certain website services; to protect the safety of our visitors, employees or property, and; when disclosure is consistent with our practices for services that are similarly provided offline.
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal data to third parties without prior permission from you. Please note that the term "third party" does not include web site hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating the website, as long as such parties have signed confidentiality agreements obligating them to keep user data confidential. We may collect and share aggregate data, however, with third parties for both advertising and promotional purposes. This aggregate data, however, does not include any personal information about any individual visitor to our website. Further, we cooperate with all law enforcement inquires, and with all third parties, to enforce their intellectual property or other legal rights.
Security
We protect the privacy of all information collected over our website. Only employees and supervisors with specific authorization have access to databases containing visitors' personal information. The databases are protected in a secure facility. Credit card information is transmitted via encrypted technology. Unfortunately, it is not possible to guarantee 100% security or integrity of information you disclose online since a sufficiently powerful attack from an unauthorized third party, however unlikely, could compromise your personal information. Bodhi Bicycles cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide us and you do so at your own risk.
Acceptance of terms
By visiting the Bodhi Bicycles website or otherwise providing Bodhi Bicycles with your personal information by any other means, you signify your consent and agreement with the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may modify our policies as Bodhi Bicycles deems appropriate and will post such changes in this policy. We encourage you to review this policy on a regular basis.
