Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Who We Are

  • “The ADV Crew” (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an informal, non-commercial motorcycle adventure community founded by Masum Hussain.
  • We act as the data fiduciary for any personal data you voluntarily share with us through this website or our social channels.
  • This policy describes what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.

2. Information We Collect

  • This website does not require an account, and we do not run any signup, login, or checkout flow on it.
  • If you contact us via Instagram, YouTube, or any other social platform, we receive only the information you choose to share in that message (such as your handle, name, and message contents). That data is also subject to that platform's own privacy policy.
  • When you visit this site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically collect technical information including IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages visited, and approximate (city-level) location derived from IP. This is used in aggregate and is not linked to your identity.
  • If you participate in a ride or event, we may collect information you provide directly to us such as your name, contact number, emergency contact, vehicle details, and any health information you choose to disclose for safety purposes.
  • We do not knowingly collect any sensitive personal data such as financial account numbers, government identifiers, biometric data, or health records through this website.

3. Lawful Basis & How We Use Your Information

  • We process personal data only on the basis of your consent or where processing is necessary for a legitimate purpose connected to running the community.
  • We use your information to respond to your inquiries, coordinate rides and events, communicate safety and route information, contact your emergency contact in the event of an incident, and improve this website.
  • We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data. We do not use it for third-party advertising or share it with data brokers.
  • We may share limited information with trusted service providers (such as our website host and analytics provider) strictly for the purpose of operating this site, under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property.

4. Cookies & Analytics

  • We may use strictly necessary cookies required for the website to function correctly.
  • We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These tools do not store personally identifying information in cookies and do not build cross-site advertising profiles.
  • You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to read the content on this site.

5. Photos, Videos & Crew Content

  • All photographs, videos, written content, logos, and design elements on this website are owned by The ADV Crew or used with the owner's permission.
  • By participating in a crew ride or event, you grant The ADV Crew a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to capture, store, edit, and publish photographs and video featuring you on this website, our social channels, and promotional materials, for non-commercial community purposes.
  • If you want a specific photo or video of you removed, contact us at the channel below and we will use reasonable efforts to remove it from our owned channels promptly. We cannot guarantee removal from third-party repostings or re-shares outside our control.

6. Data Retention & Security

  • We retain personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.
  • Ride-related information (such as emergency contacts collected before a specific ride) is typically deleted within a reasonable period after the ride concludes.
  • We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, and you share information with us at your own risk.

7. Your Rights

  • You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, and request deletion of your data, subject to any legal retention obligations.
  • You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
  • To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the channel listed below. We will respond within a reasonable time.

8. Children

  • This website and the crew's activities are intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.
  • If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Third-Party Links

  • This website contains links to external platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and map providers.
  • We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those external sites and do not endorse them.
  • You are encouraged to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit through such links.

10. Changes to This Policy

  • We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page with the date of the last update.
  • Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Contact & Grievance
