MotoKind Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 October 2025
1. Who We Are
MotoKind (“we”, “our”, “us”) is a UK-based community platform for motorcyclists.
Our mission is to connect and support riders through community, events, and information — without compromising privacy.
Website: https://motokind.co.uk
Email: info@motokind.co.uk
2. Our Approach to Privacy
At MotoKind, kindness and transparency guide everything we do — including how we handle data.
We only collect what’s essential to run our community, and we never sell, rent, or trade your information.
We use privacy-friendly, cookieless tools to understand our website’s performance without tracking individuals.
3. Data We Collect and Why
a) Website Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics platform.
It does not collect personal data or use cookies.
Plausible tracks only anonymous usage information, such as:
- Page views
- Referrers (the site that linked you to us)
- Device type and general location (country level only)
This helps us understand which areas of MotoKind are most visited and how to improve the experience — without identifying anyone.
Learn more at https://plausible.io/privacy.
b) Contact Forms and Enquiries
When you send us a message through a contact form, we collect only what you choose to share (e.g., name, email, and message).
This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with anyone outside MotoKind.
We have disabled IP logging in our contact form tools to protect your privacy.
c) Newsletter Sign-Ups
If you subscribe to MotoKind updates, we collect your name and email address.
We use a double opt-in process — you must confirm your subscription before receiving any emails.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in any email we send.
Your data is used only to share MotoKind news, events, and community updates.
d) Business Directory and Partner Links
MotoKind features listings and external links to partner websites.
When you click a partner link, you’ll leave our site.
We sometimes use UTM links or discount codes (like “MOTOKIND10”) so partners can see when visitors come from MotoKind.
These do not share any personal data — only anonymous referral information.
Once you leave MotoKind, the privacy and cookie policies of the destination website apply.
4. Cookies
MotoKind keeps things simple.
We currently use no tracking or advertising cookies.
| Purpose | Description | Cookie Type |
|---|---|---|
| Essential functionality | Required for website security, speed, and remembering your cookie preferences. | Essential |
| Analytics (Plausible) | We use Plausible Analytics, which is fully cookieless and does not track personal data. | None (cookieless) |
Because our analytics are cookieless, there’s usually nothing to accept or reject beyond these essentials.
5. Managing Cookies and Preferences
Your browser gives you full control over cookies — you can delete or block them at any time.
You can also enable “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” in your browser, which MotoKind respects.
If we ever introduce new cookies (for example, for membership or shop functionality), we’ll update this page first and ask for your consent before they’re used.
6. How We Store and Protect Data
Any personal information (such as newsletter sign-ups or contact form submissions) is stored securely in GDPR-compliant systems within the UK or EU.
We keep it only as long as necessary to deliver our services or meet legal requirements.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct or delete your data
- Withdraw consent for communications at any time
- File a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
To make a request, please contact us at: info@motokind.co.uk
8. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to other sites.
When you click a link to a third-party site, their privacy and cookie policies apply.
We recommend reviewing those policies to understand how they handle your data.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect new features, legal requirements, or community feedback.
Any updates will appear here with a new “Last updated” date.
10. Our Privacy Commitment
MotoKind was built on the belief that community and kindness go hand in hand — and that includes respecting privacy.
We’ll always be open about what we collect and why.
No tracking. No pixels. No hidden cookies.
Just honest data for a better rider experience.
In summary:
MotoKind uses cookieless analytics, collects only what’s necessary, and treats your privacy with the same respect we give every rider on the road.
