This privacy policy is intended to comply with the 201 CMR 17.00 of the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs And Business Regulation, which is based on Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93H and any applicable United States federal law.

This Privacy Policy applies to KP & CS Enterprises, Inc. (dba “Storm Scooters”), a Massachusetts corporation located at 322 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657.

‍

Please be aware that companies not part of Joyride Technologies, a Canadian company located at 325 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2Y1, Canada, are separate legal entities from Joyride Technologies and have their own privacy policies and practices. While we encourage you to review those third-party policies, please understand that Joyride Technologies is not responsible for those companies’ privacy policies and related legal obligations, including those of Storm Scooters.

‍

Our business takes your privacy seriously and is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Because we do gather certain types of information from visitors to our sites, we have developed a privacy statement to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of that information. This statement discloses the types of information we gather, how it is used, and how you can gain access to and edit any data that we've collected about you at any time.

‍

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Our business respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, send us email, or participate in features/services we offer online. Accordingly, our policy regarding online privacy has been developed using the following guiding principles:

‍

Our business maintains a strict "no-spam" policy. Subscribers to our email services (or any other feature/service found on our website) will not receive unsolicited email messages from us.

‍

Our business collects information online primarily to provide our visitors with a more relevant experience on our site. When doing so, we will make every reasonable effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of data.

‍

Our business will take reasonable physical, electronic and managerial measures to safeguard and secure any information you provide to us (e.g. data will be stored in protected databases on secured servers with restricted access).

‍

Our business will not share any information you've provided to us with anyone without your consent other than to provide the service you've requested. At the time you register for any such service, you will be notified of, and asked to consent to, the sharing of your information with any particular third party necessary to the provision of the requested service.

‍

CONTACT INFORMATION

Before you take a ride on a Joyride Technologies or Storm Scooters rental vehicle, participate in our surveys, contests, sweepstakes, and promotions, subscribe to our marketing updates, use our customer service, register for, or attend, an event, or when you register a vehicle you purchased directly from us, you will be asked to provide certain basic personal contact information such as first name, last name, email address, and a mailing or postal address, phone number, and account information such as login and password. This information may also be provided to us by another person who organizes a group ride that includes you.

‍

GOVERNMENT-ISSUED IDENTIFICATION

In many places where we offer vehicles for rent, rules require riders to be of a certain minimum age. To hire or employ you, we may be required to confirm your identity and eligibility for employment. We may ask you to provide your birth date and driver’s license or other government-issued ID (which may indicate document numbers as well as birth date, gender, and photo).

‍

BIOMETRIC DATA

In many places where we offer vehicles for rent, rules require riders to be of a certain minimum age. We may use self-taken photographs or videos to determine if you meet any applicable minimum age requirement and we share it only with third parties as necessary to confirm the foregoing. We may also use biometric information, such as photographs, videos, or body mass to confirm that only one rider is utilizing our service.

‍

DEMOGRAPHIC DATA

We also collect certain demographic data if you provide it to us including age, gender, preferred language, and current location. Note that we may also derive this data from your government-issued ID.

‍

PAYMENT INFORMATION

If you buy a product directly from us or rent a Joyride Technologies or Storm Scooters rental vehicle we will also ask for your payment information, such as a credit card, debit card, or another payment method, and your billing address. We do not store your payment information; we use experienced and trusted third-party payment processors to collect and process your payments for us. We also ask for your Tax Identification Number in jurisdictions that require us to collect this information.

‍

PUBLIC PARTNERS AND TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITIES

Because our services will fall under various local, state or federal jurisdictions, our business partners may include governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and local public transport operators and appointed data aggregators (each a “public partner”).

‍

We will disclose your information with public partners as may be required to operate in a particular city or location. Public partners may use this information to help improve, inform, or manage city planning activities, public transportation services, traffic congestion, or our vehicles or services (for example, for designating vehicle parking zones, issuing parking fines, or creating restricted areas where our vehicles may not go, like sidewalks) among other public interest purposes the public partner may determine. In some cases, sharing your information with our public partners may be required by law or regulation.

‍

For some of these purposes, cities have adopted a standard data set called “Mobility Data Specification” (MDS), MDS standardizes communication and data-sharing between cities and private mobility providers such as our business.  We may provide MDS data to public partners where we provide services.

‍

If you respond to a survey about your experiences with us or offer opinions about our company, the micro-mobility industry, or other topics, we will maintain that information.
