Welcome to ThisRide! [Your Company Name, LLC] ("ThisRide," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App"), our website thisride.com (the "Site"), and any of our related services (collectively, the "Service").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access or use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Service includes:

A. Information You Provide to Us

• Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect your name, email address, and password.
• User Content: We collect the information you voluntarily provide, such as vehicle photos you upload for identification, reviews, comments, and saved cars in your "Digital Garage." Please do not include sensitive personal information or personally identifiable information of others (e.g., visible faces or license plates) in your User Content without their consent. We reserve the right to blur or remove such information.
• Communications: If you contact us directly for support or other inquiries, we will collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

B. Information We Collect Automatically

• Camera and Photos: To use our core vehicle identification feature, you must grant us access to your device’s camera. The photos you take are transmitted to our servers for analysis.
• Location Data: With your explicit permission, we may collect your device’s precise geolocation data (GPS). We use this information to enhance your experience by, for example, showing you vehicles popular in your area or connecting you with local automotive services. You can disable location services at any time through your device settings.
• Log and Usage Data: We collect information that your device or browser sends whenever you use our Service. This may include your IP address, device type, operating system, app version, pages or features of our Service that you visit, time and date of your visit, and other statistics.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and App and hold certain information to improve and analyze our Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our Service.
• Process and fulfill your requests, such as identifying a vehicle from a photo.
• Improve, personalize, and expand our Service.
• Understand and analyze how you use our Service.
• Develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
• Communicate with you for customer service, updates, and marketing purposes.
• Process your transactions and manage your "ThisRide Pro" subscription.
• Display affiliate and advertising content relevant to your interests.
• Detect and prevent fraud and abuse.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personally identifiable information. However, we may share information we have collected about you in certain situations.

• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, payment processing, and analytics.
• Affiliate Partners: When you click on an affiliate link (e.g., for a vehicle history report), we may share data with that partner to track the referral.
• Business Partners & Lead Generation: With your express action (e.g., clicking a button to "Get an Insurance Quote" or "Find a Mechanic Near Me"), we may share the necessary information to fulfill your request with our third-party business partners.
• Aggregated and Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated, anonymized data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may sell trend reports to automotive manufacturers (e.g., "The most-scanned SUV in California during Q3 was the Ford Bronco").
• With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your consent.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or protect our rights.

• Access and Deletion: Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you and to ask that it be corrected, updated, or deleted. Please contact us to make such a request.

5. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure your data, no security measures are perfect, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or misuse.

Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us so that we can take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Your information may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ. Your consent to this Privacy Policy represents your agreement to that transfer.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
