YOUR ABILITY TO EDIT YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND PREFERENCES

You can edit your profile at any time. We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the App, such as service announcements and administrative text or email messages. By signing up for the App, you consent to receiving these communications from us and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them other than by requesting deletion of your profile as described below.

OPTING OUT

From time to time, you may receive promotional text messages, where you have the option to unsubscribe from. You can opt out of receiving these communications by clicking on the link provided or emailing support@ridewith.app. You may request deletion of your profile by emailing support@ridewith.app. If your profile is deleted or terminated, we will keep your personal information for a reasonable amount of time as prescribed by applicable law.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY

We limit access to personal information about you to employees, contractors and trusted third-party business partners who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in place to protect personal information about you.

DISCLAIMER

While we continue to work hard to protect your personal information, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent secure and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Posting or transmitting personal information is done at your own risk. Information made available through the App about third party services, such as transportation platforms or apps, is estimated and may vary from actual information available directly from such third parties.

MINORS

The App is not targeted to minors, including children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly solicit or collect information from children under the age of 18. If you are aware that we have been provided with any such information, we will endeavor to promptly remove such information upon notification.
