Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 20, 2025

Two Guys and a Ride (“Two Guys and a Ride,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and treats it like part of the trust you place in our stories and reviews. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit twoguysandaride.com and related pages we operate (the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, stop using the Services. This policy also explains your choices and rights, including options tied to your location.

“Personal information” means information that identifies you or relates to you as an identifiable person. It includes details like your name, email address, and identifiers tied to your device or browser. It also includes information linked to you through an account, a subscription, or a form submission. “Aggregated information” describes data combined with other people’s data, so it no longer points to you. “Deidentified information” describes data stripped of direct identifiers and handled under controls designed to keep it from being tied back to you.

When you subscribe to emails, submit a form, enter a giveaway, or register for an event, you might share details such as your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address. If you create an account (if available), you might provide login credentials and profile information you choose to share. If you contact us, we collect the information you include in your message, plus your contact details so we can respond. If you comment or post content (if available), we collect the content you submit and related details like display name and timestamp. If you choose to share demographic or preference information, you control what you provide, and we treat it as personal information.

When you visit the Services, we collect information about your device and how you interact with pages. This often includes IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, links clicked, and approximate location derived from IP. We also collect log data such as access times and error reports to keep the site running smoothly. We collect this information through server logs and similar technologies. If you arrive through a link in an email, we track basic engagement such as opens and clicks, depending on your email settings and provider. We use these signals to understand what readers enjoy and to protect the Services from abuse.

We use cookies, pixels, and local storage to support site features, measure traffic, remember preferences, and support advertising or affiliate tracking when used. Cookies are small files stored on your browser that help the site recognize your device over time. Some cookies keep core site functions working, such as saving your cookie preferences or supporting basic security. Other cookies help us understand which pages readers visit and how long they stay. Some cookies come from third parties, such as analytics providers, video platforms, or ad partners. You control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, through on-site cookie preference tools.

Two Guys and a Ride might display ads, use affiliate links, or publish sponsored content to support our work. When you click an affiliate link or an ad, third parties might collect information through cookies or similar technologies to measure performance. Affiliate programs often record that a referral came from our site and may track purchases tied to that referral. Sponsored posts still reflect our voice, and we label sponsorships when required by law or platform policies. Ad partners and affiliate networks often act as independent controllers of the information they collect. Review their privacy practices for details on their tracking and opt-out options.

We use personal information to provide the Services you request, such as newsletters, event registration, comments, or account access. We use information to respond to messages, provide support, and send administrative notices. We use analytics to understand which stories resonate, which pages load slowly, and where readers drop off. We use information to personalize your experience, such as remembering preferences or showing content that fits your interests. We use information to detect fraud, prevent abuse, and protect the security of the Services. We also use information to comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms. If we plan to use your information for a new purpose not described here, we will update this policy or provide a notice in the Services.

We share information with service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting providers, email platforms, analytics services, spam prevention tools, and customer support systems. These providers receive information only as needed to perform services for us under contract terms. We share information with advertising, affiliate, and measurement partners when those features run on the Services. We share information if law enforcement or regulators require it, or if we believe disclosure helps protect our rights, users, or the public. We share information during a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale, where information transfers as part of that deal. We share user-generated content you submit for public areas, such as comments, based on the settings and features in place at the time you post. We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money.

Some laws require us to explain legal bases for processing personal information. We process information to perform a contract with you, such as delivering newsletters you request or providing account access if offered. We process information based on legitimate interests, such as improving content, measuring site performance, and protecting against fraud. We process information based on your consent when you sign up for marketing emails or accept certain cookies where required. We also process information to meet legal obligations, such as recordkeeping or lawful requests. Where consent applies, you control it and you may withdraw it through the methods described below. We limit processing to what aligns with the purpose described in this policy.

You have options to manage how we use your information. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in the email, and we will honor that choice for future messages. You may adjust cookie settings through your browser and delete stored cookies, though some site features may not work as expected after removal. If we offer an on-site cookie banner or preference center, you may update those choices at any time. If you submit comments or content through an account, you may edit or remove it where the feature supports those actions. You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or other actions described in this policy. We verify requests in a way designed to protect your information and prevent unauthorized changes.

Depending on where you live, state privacy laws may give you rights related to your personal information. These rights often include access, correction, deletion, and data portability, along with the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising or profiling in some cases. If our site uses targeted advertising cookies, your opt-out options often work through cookie preferences, browser controls, or industry opt-out tools provided by ad networks. If you submit a privacy rights request, include enough detail for us to locate your information, such as the email address you used for a subscription. We will respond within the time required by law, and we will explain any request we cannot fulfill. If a law allows an appeal process, we will provide appeal instructions in our response. We do not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.

If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or similar jurisdictions, you have rights tied to your personal information. These rights often include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability. You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including certain marketing and analytics activities. If you believe we handled your information unlawfully, you have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority in your region. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it, and withdrawal affects future processing tied to that consent. We take steps to honor these rights and to verify requests to protect your information. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Retention depends on the type of information and why we collected it. For example, we keep subscription information while you remain subscribed, plus a limited period afterward for compliance and suppression lists. We keep communications as long as needed to address your request and maintain records tied to support and security. We keep log and analytics data for a period consistent with measurement needs and security practices. When we no longer need information, we delete it, deidentify it, or store it under controls designed to limit access.

We take reasonable steps designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we hold. No website or storage system offers guaranteed security, and you also play a role in protecting your information. Use strong passwords for accounts and avoid sharing login details with others. If you suspect unauthorized access to an account you hold with us, contact us right away. We investigate suspected incidents and take steps designed to reduce harm.

The Services target a general audience and not children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, contact us with details, and we will take steps to delete it. If local law sets a higher age threshold, we follow that requirement where it applies. Parents and guardians should monitor children’s online activity and guide them toward age-appropriate spaces. We focus our content on vehicles, travel, and storytelling intended for adult readers and enthusiasts.

Our pages may include links to third-party sites, embedded videos, social media tools, or widgets. Those third parties operate under their own privacy practices, and you should review their policies before sharing information with them. When you interact with embedded content, the third party may collect information about your activity on the embedded player or widget. For example, a video platform may log views and set cookies tied to playback. We do not control third-party tracking, though we try to choose partners aligned with common privacy expectations. If you want to limit third-party tracking, use browser controls, privacy-focused settings, and cookie preference tools where available.

We update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we update it, we revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the policy. If we make a material change, we will post a prominent notice on the site or send a notice by email when appropriate. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with an updated policy, stop using the Services and contact us about your options. We keep prior versions for reference when feasible.

If you have questions, requests, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, contact us using the details below. Include the name of the site, the email address you used with us (if applicable), and a short description of your request. If you request deletion or access, tell us what part of the Services you used, such as newsletter sign-up or comments. We respond as fast as we reasonably can, and we follow timelines required by applicable law.
