Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Paradox collects, why, and what choices you have. We collect as little as possible.
What we collect
- Information you submit. If you use the inquiry form, we receive the name, email address, and message you type. We do not send these fields to Google Analytics.
- Consent record. Your acceptance of the entry gate, and your cookie choice, are stored locally in your own browser. They are not transmitted to us.
- Optional analytics. If you choose Allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) receives page views and site interactions, including which of the five portal links you choose. GA4 also processes browser and device information, approximate location, and a first-party cookie identifier used to distinguish visits. We use the resulting reports to understand site traffic and which destinations interest visitors. We do not send names, email addresses, or enquiry form text to GA4.
- Optional ad measurement (ads page only). If you choose Allow analytics on the ads page, Google Ads also receives the identifier of the Google ad you clicked and whether you sent an enquiry, so Paradox can see which ads lead to enquiries. It does not receive your form fields.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider may automatically log IP addresses, browser type, and timestamps for security and reliability.
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. We do not collect payment information through this site.
How we use it
To respond to your inquiry, operate and secure the site, measure consenting visitors' use of the site, and comply with law. We do not use GA4 or Google Ads data for advertising personalization.
Who we share it with
We use Formspree to deliver inquiry-form submissions to our email. Your submission passes through their systems under their own privacy policy. If you allow analytics, Google processes site-usage data for GA4 reports and, on the ads page, ad-measurement data for Google Ads reports. We otherwise do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
How long we keep it
Inquiry emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable business records, then deleted on request.
Google Analytics applies the property's retention settings to event and user-level data. Standard aggregate reports may remain available longer. You can contact us to ask about data associated with your visit.
Your choices
You may ask us to confirm what personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know, delete, correct, and not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. To make a request, email ridetheparadox@gmail.com and we will respond within the time the law allows. We may need to verify your identity first.
You can choose Essential only or Allow analytics in the cookie panel and change your choice with Cookie settings in the site footer. Choosing Essential only prevents GA4 and Google Ads measurement from loading or sending new site events. See the Cookie Policy for details.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
International visitors
The site is operated from the United States. If you visit from elsewhere, your information is processed in the United States.
Changes
We will update the date above when this policy changes.
