LAMA MOBILITY PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: November 5, 2020

Lama Mobility, LLC (“Lama Mobility”) is dedicated to keeping you (“User”) informed about the types of information we collect, with whom and why it is shared and what we do to protect it. This Privacy Policy describes the type of information we collect through your use of Lama Scooters, the Lama Mobility Application (“Lama App”) and all related technology and services used in conjunction with a Lama Scooter or the Lama App (collectively referred to as “Lama Services”). Lama Mobility reserves the right to change its Privacy Policy as needed, which changes will be made available through the Lama Services.

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

PERSONAL INFORMATION. “Personal Information,” as used in this Policy, is information that specifically identifies an individual, such as an individual’s name, telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal Information also includes information about an individual’s activities, such as information about ride activity, which includes data such as geographic area (including location), and preferences, when any of this information is linked to a particular individual. For purposes of this policy, Lama Mobility collects Personal Information which is, among other things, reasonably necessary to operate our Services and improve the User experience. Lama Mobility does not collect Personal Information related to race, gender, national origin or sexual determination except for survey data you provide to us on a voluntary basis or data we collect as required by applicable law. In the event of such survey, User is under no requirement to provide any of the requested information.

USER PROVIDED INFORMATION. When you register and set up an account, use the Services, or contact us by e-mail or other means for any reason, you may provide Personal Information to Lama Mobility. For example, to set up an account, you may provide your email address or phone number, date of birth, and driver’s license information. You may provide additional forms of identification information such as state or country issued IDs, including passport information, for the purposes of verifying your identity. In some cases, a third-party company engaged by Lama Mobility will conduct the verification of your identity. You may provide additional Personal Information to demonstrate eligibility for certain programs or discounts. Personal Information may also be collected if you provide such information in connection with creating a profile or group (such as in social media), leaving comments, posting content, sending an email or message to another user or participating in any features of the Services. In addition, from time to time we may collect other personal information you provide in connection with your participation in promotional offers and other activities on the Services. If you use the Services with your mobile device, we may have access to your phone number or other device information that uniquely identifies individual smartphones or mobile devices.

AGGREGATED DATA. Aggregated data is information collected that is subsequently combined and used in an aggregated, non-personally identifiable form. We may use aggregated, de-identified data for any purpose, including without limitation, analysis of usage of the Services, consumer interests and behavior, marketing research and strategy, and in the development of new and improved products and services. We may also share aggregated, de-identified data with third parties, including our service providers, educational research institutions, and local or federal government transportation authorities when required or necessary, at our sole discretion.

DEVICE INFORMATION. When you use the Services, some information is also automatically collected, such as your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, and browser type. From mobile devices we may collect type/model of the mobile device, device identifiers, and the mobile device’s service provider and operating system.

INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES. We also obtain information from other sources, such as payment service providers who provide us with payment or balance information, identity verification providers, analytics service providers, and security service providers, who provide us with information to secure our systems, prevent fraud and help us protect the security of the Services. For example, if you purchase services or products from the Services, we will collect the billing and financial information necessary to process your charges, which may include your postal and email addresses. We may also receive the billing and payment information that you provide when your purchase is processed by another party.

LOCATION INFORMATION. Lama Mobility may offer features designed to help you use the Services, such as to locate vehicles available through the network, including, in whole or in part, based on your location. You will be given the opportunity to opt-in to location-based services, normally through an opt-in screen on the App. If you choose to enable location-based services, we may collect your location based on information provided by you or your mobile device, including, if available, GPS, IP address or cell tower information. If you do not opt-in to location-based services, you may not have access to the features necessary to use the Services. Lama Mobility may also collect different types of information about your location, including general information (e.g., IP address, ZIP code).

The Services use Apple Map functionality, and by using Apple Maps, you agree to be bound by Apple’s terms of use and Apple’s Privacy Policy.

“COOKIES” INFORMATION. We may automatically collect certain information through the use of “cookies”. Cookies are small data files that are stored on a User’s hard drive at the request of a Web site to enable such Web site to recognize Users who have previously visited them and retain certain information such as customer preferences and history.
