PRIVACY STATEMENT

SQUAD CYCLES INC.’S PRIVACY POLICY

Squad Cycles, Inc. (“Squad Cycles”) takes your privacy very seriously. We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security. We want to make your experience on squadcycles.com (the “Site”) as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use this Site’s vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.

I. WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS

This policy covers how Squad Cycles treats personal information that it collects and receives. Personal information is information like your name, address, email address, or phone number that is not otherwise publicly available. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Squad Cycles does not own or control or to people that Squad Cycles does not employ or manage.

II INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

A. General Squad Cycles gathers personally identifiable information about users of the Site through the registration process and other means, such as user submissions and any web sites accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Services and, generally, do not share this information with third parties except as noted below. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.

B. Personal Information Registration: When you register, you will be asked to provide certain personal information when you sign up including name, address, telephone number, billing information, and email address. The personal information collected from Members during the registration process is used to manage each Member’s account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where Squad Cycles and a partner jointly promote the Services, Squad Cycles may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. Squad Cycles may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Members provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Members). As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Site.

Online Shopping: On the Site, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as a catalog or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient’s name, address, and phone number. Squad Cycles has no control over the third parties’ use of any personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing so. If you order products directly from Squad Cycles, we will use the personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

Special Cases: It is Squad Cycles’s policy not to use or share the personal information about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, Squad Cycles may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms & Conditions or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect Squad Cycles and our Members.

C. Non-Personal Information & Cookies Squad Cycles also gathers non-personal information through standard tracking mechanisms on Squad Cycles internet servers. For example, Squad Cycles employs “cookies” on various parts of the Site. Cookies are information that the Site transfers to the user's hard drive to facilitate record keeping and tracking a user's preferences. Non-personal information is primarily collected in order to improve the functionality and user's enjoyment of the Site, to tailor the Site to your individual preferences, and to make using the Site simpler and more enjoyable. The information that is typically tracked includes the type of internet browser and operating system being used by a user, and the user’s internet service provider.

D. Security The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with users is of the utmost concern to Squad Cycles. Unfortunately no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Squad Cycles strives to protect users' personal information, Squad Cycles cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information users transmit to the Site, and users do so at their own risk.

III. COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN'S PRIVACY Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. While we make every effort to ensure that the Site is fun and age-appropriate for our younger audience, we believe that there is no substitute for proper parental supervision.

It is our policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws. Therefore, children under the age of 13 are not permitted to register for the Site. Children under 13 may use the Site, but should do so only with parental supervision, especially when it relates to the disclosure of personal information about children. Although Squad Cycles will do what it can to screen information from children under the age of 13 on the Site, Squad Cycles has no way to guarantee that a registrant or user is under 13. Therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Squad Cycles is not responsible for a child’s use of the Site or the personal information supplied by a child on the Site.

USER-INITIATED COMMUNICATION From time to time, portions of the Site may enable you to send email to us or to third parties and to participate in public bulletin boards and discussion groups (hosted by us or one or more of our service providers). All postings to public bulletin boards and discussion groups become our property. Whenever you choose to initiate these kinds of communications with us, or anyone else, you may expect to be contacted in return. Also, remember that our bulletin boards and discussion groups are open to the public, and therefore, your postings can be seen by anyone and are not protected by us or any other entity. Please use your own discretion when deciding what to post publicly, and whom to contact. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to edit or delete inappropriate postings from our bulletin boards and discussion groups; provided, however, the reservation of this right shall not, under any circumstances, obligate us to conduct such editing or deletions.
