The Services are based on a community of all users of
the Services sharing location information with us. Whenever a Cycle Leash app
is activated on a user's mobile device, we will collect detailed location
information about any Cycle Leash device(s) in reach of such mobile device, as
collected and sent to us by the mobile device.
Any location information we receive about Cycle Leash
device(s) located through a Cycle Leash app will be stored by us on our cloud
server. Such information can be associated by us with the account for which the
Cycle Leash device(s) have been registered (by linking the unique Cycle Leash
device identifier with the account information), for instance, where necessary
to help you to track your Cycle Leash device(s) in reach of other users' mobile
devices with an activated Cycle Leash app.
However, your location information will be completely
anonymous to other users, unless you actively decide to share these data, e.g.,
by choosing to share access to your Services' account with other people you
trust, or by using social networks (see Section 8 on "Your Sharing of your
Personal Information with Social Networks" below). We will not identify
you personally to other users or otherwise make your location information
available to any third party in personal identifiable form without your prior
consent.

service providers, mail carriers, communication agencies and customer support
service providers; these parties may be located in countries outside of your
