Privacy Policy

Welcome to BikePics (“BikePics,” “we,” “us” or “our”). BikePics provides a
fast, beautiful and fun way for you to share media through our
content-sharing platform.

  • Our Privacy Policy explains how we and some of the companies we work
    with collect, use, share and protect information in relation to our mobile
    services, web site, and any software provided on or in connection with
    BikePics services (collectively, the “Service”), and your choices about
    the collection and use of your information.

  • By using our Service you understand and agree that we are providing a
    platform for you to post content, including photos, comments and other
    materials (“User Content”), to the Service and to share User Content
    publicly. This means that other Users may search for, see, use, or share
    any of your User Content that you make publicly available through the
    Service, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy
    and our Terms of.

  • Our Policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the
    Service (“Users”).

  1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

    We collect the following types of information.

    Information you provide us directly:

    • Your username, password and e-mail address when you register for
      a BikePics account.

    • Profile information that you provide for your user profile
      (e.g., first and last name, picture, phone number). This
      information allows us to help you or others be “found” on BikePics.

    • User Content (e.g., photos, comments, and other materials) that
      you post to the Service.

    • Communications between you and BikePics. For example, we may
      send you Service and Marketing-related emails. Note that you may not opt out of
      Service-related e-mails (e.g., account verification,
      changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and
      security notices).

    Finding your friends on BikePics:

    • If you choose, you can use our “Find friends” feature to locate
      other people with BikePics accounts either through (i) your
      contacts list, (ii) third-party social media sites or (iii)
      through a search of names and usernames on BikePics.

    • If you choose to find your friends through (i) your device’s
      contacts list, then BikePics will access your contacts list to
      determine whether or not someone associated with your contact is
      using BikePics.

    • If you choose to find your friends through a (ii) third-party
      social media site, then you will be prompted to set up a link to
      the third-party service and you understand that any information
      that such service may provide to us will be governed by this
      Privacy Policy.

    • If you choose to find your friends (iii) through a search of names
      or usernames on BikePics then simply type a name to search and we
      will perform a search on our Service.

    • Note about “Invite Friends” feature: If you choose to invite someone to the Service through our
      “Invite friends” feature, you may select a person directly from
      the contacts list on your device and send a text or email from
      your personal account. You understand and agree that you are
      responsible for any charges that apply to communications sent from
      your device, and because this invitation is coming directly from
      your personal account, BikePics does not have access to or
      control this communication.

    Analytics information:

    • We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and
      usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent
      by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit,
      add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the
      Service. We collect and use this analytics information with
      analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably
      be used to identify any particular individual User.

    Cookies and similar technologies:

    • When you visit the Service, we may use cookies and similar
      technologies like pixels, web beacons, and local storage to
      collect information about how you use BikePics and provide features to you.

    • We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services
      to your devices, which may use cookies or similar technologies
      placed by us or the third party.

    Log file information:

    • Log file information is automatically reported by your browser
      each time you make a request to access (i.e., visit) a web page or
      app. It can also be provided when the content of the webpage or app
      is downloaded to your browser or device.

    • When you use our Service, our servers automatically record certain
      log file information, including your web request, Internet Protocol
      (“IP”) address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs,
      number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service,
      domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
      We may also collect similar information from emails sent to our Users
      which then help us track which emails are opened and which links are
      clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate
      reporting and improvement of the Service.

    Device identifiers:

    • When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our
      Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device,
      and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers.” Device
      identifiers are small data files or similar data structures
      stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely
      identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored
      in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection
      with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent
      to the device by BikePics.

    • A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third
      party partner about how you browse and use the Service and may help
      us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads.
      Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or
      availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

    Metadata:

    • Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with User
      Content. For example, Metadata can describe how, when and by whom a
      piece of User Content was collected and how that content is formatted.

    • Users can add or may have Metadata added to their User Content
      including a hashtag (e.g., to mark keywords when you post a photo),
      geotag (e.g., to mark your location to a photo), comments or other
      data. This makes your User Content more searchable by others and more
      interactive. If you geotag your photo or tag your photo using other’s
      APIs then, your latitude and longitude will be stored with the photo
      and searchable (e.g., through a location or map feature) if your
      photo is made public by you in accordance with your privacy settings.

  2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

    In addition to some of the specific uses of information we describe
    in this Privacy Policy, we may use information that we receive to:

    • help you efficiently access your information after you sign in

    • remember information so you will not have to re-enter it during
      your visit or the next time you visit the Service;

    • provide personalized content and information to you and others,
      which could include online ads or other forms of marketing

    • provide, improve, test, and monitor the effectiveness of our Service

    • develop and test new products and features

    • monitor metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and
      demographic patterns

    • diagnose or fix technology problems

    • automatically update the BikePics application on your device
      BikePics or other Users may run contests, special offers or other
      events or activities (“Events”) on the Service. If you do not want
      to participate in an Event, do not use the particular Metadata
      (i.e. hashtag or geotag) associated with that Event.

  3. SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION

    We will not rent or sell your information to third parties outside
    BikePics (or the group of companies of which BikePics is a part)
    without your consent, except as noted in this Policy.

    Parties with whom we may share your information:

    • We may share User Content and your information (including but
      not limited to, information from cookies, log files, device
      identifiers, location data, and usage data) with businesses that
      are legally part of the same group of companies that BikePics
      is part of, or that become part of that group (“Affiliates”).
      Affiliates may use this information to help provide, understand,
      and improve the Service (including by providing analytics) and
      Affiliates’ own services (including by providing you with better
      and more relevant experiences). But these Affiliates will honor
      the choices you make about who can see your photos.

    • We also may share your information as well as information from
      tools like cookies, log files, and device identifiers and location
      data, with third-party organizations that help us provide the
      Service to you (“Service Providers”). Our Service Providers will
      be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary
      to provide the Service under reasonable confidentiality terms.

    • We may also share certain information such as cookie data with
      third-party advertising partners. This information would allow
      third-party ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted
      advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.

    • We may remove parts of data that can identify you and share
      anonymized data with other parties. We may also combine your
      information with other information in a way that it is no longer
      associated with you and share that aggregated information.

    Parties with whom you may choose to share your User Content:

    • Any information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting
      to the Service, such as User Content, becomes available to the public,
      as controlled by any applicable privacy settings that you set. To
      change your privacy settings on the Service, please change your
      profile setting. Once you have shared User Content or made it public,
      that User Content may be re-shared by others.

    • Subject to your profile and privacy settings, any User Content that
      you make public is searchable by other Users and subject to use under
      our BikePics API.

    • If you remove information that you posted to the Service, copies
      may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service,
      or if other Users or third parties using the BikePics API have
      copied or saved that information.

    What happens in the event of a change of control:

    • If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of BikePics or
      our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a
      transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution,
      liquidation), your information such as name and email address,
      User Content and any other information collected through the
      Service may be among the items sold or transferred. You will
      continue to own your User Content. The buyer or transferee will
      have to honor the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy.

    Responding to legal requests and preventing harm:

    • We may access, preserve and share your information in response to
      a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena)
      if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so.
      This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions
      outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief
      that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects
      users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally
      recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share
      information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to:
      detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity;
      to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of
      investigations; and to prevent death or imminent bodily harm.
      Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and
      retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of
      a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or
      investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or
      policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.
