 PRIVACY POLICY

We take your privacy very seriously. We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect and never sell OR share it with other organizations [outside of the Bike Lane Uprising] for marketing purposes.

Please read this privacy policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use, and share your personal information. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us or supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.

We collect, use and are responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are subject to various laws in the United States, and we are responsible as “controller” of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

• Keeping Your Personal Information Secure. We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it.
