At Riding the Tiger, we uphold the sacred right to privacy. We do not exploit visitors, track for profit, or reduce men to metrics. Yet, in this digital age, even noble silence leaves a trace. This policy explains what data we process, why, and how we protect it.
Who we are
This website is operated by:
Caelum and the Project Eutopia team.
They can be reached only via the contact form provided on this website. No public email address is in use. You may reach out with any questions or concerns about privacy, data use, or this policy.
Membership & Registration Access
This website offers access to restricted content through a private membership system. Registration is not open to the public. Individuals may request access via private communication and, upon approval, receive a password-protected link to the registration page.
Accounts are created solely at the request of the user and stored securely. No accounts are registered automatically, and all personal data submitted during registration is used only to manage access and membership.
Member accounts may be deleted upon request, and inactive accounts may be purged periodically to preserve data integrity.
What Data We Collect
We only collect and process data when necessary to maintain the site, improve its performance, or ensure security. We do not ask visitors to create accounts, or submit personal details through forms.
However, the following data may be passively collected when you browse our site:
- IP address
- Browser type and device
- Approximate geographic region (non-specific)
- Referring website or search term

Use of Cookies
Our site may use cookies in the following cases:

- To gather anonymized statistics (e.g., visitor counts via Jetpack or similar services)
- To display embedded third-party media (e.g., YouTube, Instagram), which may set their own cookies
You will be offered the ability to manage non-essential cookies upon your first visit.
You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time.
Third-Party Services
We may use the following trusted services:
- Jetpack / WordPress Stats – for anonymized site analytics

Some of these services may collect limited technical information. No identifying information is intentionally shared.
Where data is transferred outside the EU, it is done with appropriate safeguards in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions).

We retain technical and correspondence data only for as long as necessary:
- Server logs: typically 30–90 days
- Analytics data: up to 14 months (anonymized)
- Emails: retained for no more than 12 months unless legally or operationally required
We do not archive or build profiles of visitors.
Messages submitted through our contact form are stored securely within the website system and are automatically deleted after 90 days. We do not forward these messages externally unless explicitly necessary to respond to the sender. IP addresses and geolocation data are also purged after the same retention period. Visitors may request full deletion of any stored data at any time.
