Sharing Information Through Social Media
We work with social media sites, and with application developers who specialize in social commerce so you can connect with us through your social networks, and share information and content such as reviews, photos, text, videos, routes, and usage data (“User Content”) with us. We provide our social media service providers with access to our Services so we can generate interest in our products among members of your social networks and to allow you to share your interest in our products with friends in your network. These social media service providers may collect or register your views (including whether you liked or purchased a product), and make those views available to us and on public portions of our Services. For example, when you use our hashtags in a social media post or respond to one of our usage requests (i.e., by using #YesU-Bike, #YesCycleGear, #YesJPCycles, or #YesREVER), your post is shared with us, and may appear on our websites. By using our hashtags or responding to one of our usage requests, you are consenting to our use of the information you post (including your likeness) for commercial purposes and without compensation. For more information, please see our Terms of Use.
If you do not agree to all of these terms, please do not submit user-generated content to us or reply to our usage requests. If you do not want a social media platform to share information about you, you must contact that the social media provider and determine whether it gives you the opportunity to opt out of sharing such information.
We reserve the right to select what content appears on our social media accounts, websites, and apps, and may choose not to display your content even if you express an opinion about our services or products, use our hashtags, or affirmatively consent to a usage request. We reserve the right to remove content from our websites, apps, and social media accounts at our sole discretion.
Charitable Giving
At Comoto, we believe in giving back to our fellow riders and the community more broadly. From time to time, we post information on our websites about charitable organizations we support, which may include links allowing donations. Our posting of information on our websites related to charities we support is not a solicitation for donations—whether you donate is completely up to you and in no way affects how we provide our products and services to you. We do not process charitable donations, and information you provide to a charity is subject to its terms of service and privacy policy. In some cases, some information you provide in order make a donation may be shared with us by the charity. Charities that share information in this way are required to notify you of that practice in their privacy policies. We appreciate you keeping our community strong, and welcome any questions about our charitable giving or how you can get involved.
Additional Information About REVER and Geolocation Tracking
REVER helps riders find the best roads and trails, map and plan their routes, connect with each other, and track their riding activities anywhere in the world—even without cell service. In addition to the other information practices described in this Policy, REVER collects and processes:
- Geolocation information when you register for and use the service online or through the REVER app.
- Contacts information from your mobile device or social networking accounts if you choose to allow REVER access to this type of information. REVER uses this information in order to help you identify potential connections in REVER.
- Information from Connected Apps and Devices. For example, if you connect your RLINK GPS Security device to your REVER account, information from this device will be passed along to REVER, and vice versa. Use of RLINK is subject to its Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
In addition to the other uses of personal information discussed elsewhere in this Policy, REVER uses the personal information of its members to operate and customize the REVER app and website, help its members evaluate and improve their riding/driving experience, and assist members with vehicle maintenance and security. For example, REVER uses your personal information to suggest routes, challenges, events or communities that may interest you, or members that you may want to follow. REVER may also use information about you to target ads to you.
Community and Privacy Settings
When you join the REVER community, your profile and activities are set to be viewable by everyone by default. Your name, profile information, photos, videos, routes, members you follow, members who follow you, communities you belong to, and the vehicles for which you use REVER may be accessed by REVER members and non-members or viewable on publicly accessible REVER pages, unless you modify your settings to restrict such disclosures.
REVER provides tools that allow you to limit the sharing of some of this information. For example, you can change the visibility of the activities you upload to REVER, and can choose whether to invite your contacts to view your location and activities using REVER LiveRide.
Sharing With Third-Party Apps, Websites, and Plugins
REVER members may choose to share their activities with their contacts via text, email, or on social media applications like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you link your REVER account to third-party social networks and share your activities, your personal information (including your location) will be viewable on such third-party platforms. You should use caution when sharing information with third parties and carefully review the privacy practices of such third parties.
REVER also enables sharing with third parties offering integrated features on the REVER app, such as challenge sponsors. If you click on a third-party link, you will leave our platform and the sponsor may be able to identify that you visited their platform from REVER. Information collected by these third parties is subject to their terms and policies.
