Privacy Statement

RideMyBike.com is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors and members to our website.

REGISTRATION

If you register to participate group activities through this RideMyBike.com, you may be asked to register for a free ID and password and/or to provide information on event registration forms. Unique identifiers, such as IDs and passwords, are collected to verify your identity and for use in our records. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary for customer service reasons. Financial information that is collected is used only to bill you for products and services that you specifically request.

ADDITONAL USES OF INFORMATION

All of the information we collect, both what you tell us and what we collect through the use of cookies or via you user agent, is used to personalize your experience, to customize our services and to allow our customer service representatives to contact you when necessary. It is RideMyBike.com's policy not to release any personally identifying information about you without your consent (when registering for a ride, it is expected that your information will be shared for the purposes of that ride). In most cases, information will be released only on an aggregated basis. RideMyBike.com will disclose personal information about an individual user if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with an applicable law or valid legal process.

In some cases, your voluntary participation in an event through RideMyBike.com involves an Event Organizer (EO). An EO is a third party that may organize, coordinate, facilitate, or sponsor an event. In these cases, RideMyBike.com has agreed to provide to the EO personal information collected from people who register for an event that has been entered by an EO. Each EO operates independently from, and may have privacy and security policies wholly different from, RideMyBike.com. Prior to registering for an event sponsored by an EO, RideMyBike.com encourages you to contact the EO and review the EO's privacy and security practices. RideMyBike.com bears no responsibility for the activities of any EO to whom RideMyBike.com may provide information.

In some cases, a third party with whom we have contracted may need to coordinate, facilitate, or perform a service for us (e.g. fulfill orders or other similar activities). In these cases, RideMyBike.com will provide personal information to the third party. Each such third party operates independently from, and may have privacy and security policies wholly different from RideMyBike.com. RideMyBike.com bears no responsibility for the activities of any third party to whom RideMyBike.com may provide fulfillment information.

COOKIES

We may also use cookies to assist us in delivering content specific to your interests. Additionally, after you've entered your user ID and password during a session on our service, we save that information so you don't have to re-enter it repeatedly during that session. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the RideMyBike.com Web Site unavailable to you. We may use your IP address to identify you, provide specific services, to administer our Web Site and to assist in diagnosing problems with our server.

RIDING BUDDIES

We will not share your contact information with another user, without your consent.

Your contact information and information specific to you and events you are registered to participate int will only be shared with another user if both of you have indicated that you would like to establish contact with each other.
