You can learn more about our use of cookies and similar tools in the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section below.

We and our service providers may also collect and combine diagnostic and usage information collected on our Services with other information about your online activities over time, including the use of other devices, websites, or apps, if such services also use the same vendors.
Please note that the Services use Google Map functionality, and by using Google Maps, you are responsible to access and review Google’s terms of service and Google’s privacy policy that are applicable to the Google Map functionality.
Information We Collect from Social Media Platforms
When you “like” or “follow” us or interact with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or other social media sites, we may collect some information from you including your name, e-mail address, account handle, and any comments or content you post relevant to us, depending on your settings on those platforms. We also collect your information if you sign up for one of our promotions or submit information to us through social media sites.
Information We Collect from Others
We may obtain information from other sources, such as payment service providers (who provide us with payment confirmation or balance information), identity verification providers, analytics service providers, and security service providers (who provide us with information to secure the Services and help to prevent fraud).
We may also collect certain business contact information and related information about potential business partners (such as influencers or brand partners) from third party sources, including name, title, email address, phone number, and area of expertise.
If you access a Spin vehicle through a third-party app or service (“Third-Party Provider”), we may receive certain information from that Third-Party Provider in order to provide the Services, comply with and enforce our Terms, or comply with applicable law. For example, we may receive your contact information if we need to contact you about a vehicle that you rented.
We and our service providers use the information described above to accomplish the following business and operational purposes:
Please note that we may combine the information we collect through the Services with information that we collect automatically or receive from other sources and use such combined information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
We may also aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize any information collected through the Services in such a way that we cannot reasonably link information to you or your device. Subject to applicable law, we may use such aggregated, de-identified, or anonymous information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes.
We and our service providers may share the information collected from and about you for the following business and operational purposes:
We may share or disclose such aggregate or anonymous information with any third party, including researchers, universities, advertisers, promotional partners, and sponsors in accordance with applicable law. We may also share aggregated, de-identified data with local or federal government transportation authorities when required or necessary, at our sole discretion.
To collect the information in the “Information We Collect Through Automated Means” section above, we and our service providers use web server logs, cookies, tags, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies (“Cookies”).
Cookies are typically classified as either “session cookies,” which do not stay on your device after you close your browser or “persistent cookies,” which will usually remain on your device until you delete them or they expire. Sometimes cookies are placed by us (“First-Party Cookies”) and sometimes they are placed by others (“Third-Party Cookies”). Different cookies are used to perform different functions on our Services:
There are a number of ways you can manage what cookies are set on your devices. If you do not allow certain cookies to be installed, the Services may not be accessible to you and/or the performance or features of the Services may be compromised. See “Online Analytics and Advertising” below for more information.
Online Analytics
We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics, Looker, and Amplitude Analytics) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools (such as the pages most read, time spent, search terms and other engagement data); engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here and learn more here.
Usage information of our Services is collected to compile statistical data in order to develop new and improved Services and marketing, identify popular features, and to provide you content that is of interest to you.
If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as tracking pixels, to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
Online Advertising
The Services may allow third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Display Network, Criteo, and others) to place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about you to assist in the delivery of relevant advertising about the Services on other websites you visit and other services you use.
We also sometimes provide our customer information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile apps.
We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on the device you use to access the Services by such non-affiliated third parties. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices (or, if you’re located in the EEA or the United Kingdom, here, or here if you are located in Canada) to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that these opt-outs apply per device, so you will have to opt-out for each device through which you access our Services.
Notice Concerning Do Not Track
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, which is why we describe a variety of opt-out mechanisms above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Learn more about Do Not Track.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites, third-party plug-ins (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). If you choose to use these websites, plug-ins, or services, you may disclose your information not just to those third parties, but also to their users and the public more generally depending on how their services function. If you choose to use these services, we are not responsible for the content or practices of such third-party websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties.
Marketing Communications
If we send you marketing communications in your jurisdiction (based on our relationship with you, your consent, or applicable law), you may instruct us not to use your contact information to contact you by SMS, email, postal mail, or phone regarding products, services, promotions and special events that might appeal to your interests by contacting us using the information below.
You can opt-out by emailing us at support@spin.pm or by following the unsubscribe instructions located at the bottom of promotional email messages. Removing your name from the email list may take a reasonable amount of time, as permitted by applicable law. Please note that, regardless of your request, we may still use and share certain information as permitted by this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. For example, you may not opt-out of certain transactional or operational emails, such as those necessary to fulfill our contract with you.
If you no longer wish to receive push notifications to your device, you may opt out by changing your notification settings on your device or, if applicable, through the push notification service. For mobile devices, the device manufacturer, and not Spin, controls these notification settings.
Your Privacy Rights
Your local laws (such as those in the European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, California, or Nevada) may permit you to exercise certain rights with respect to the information we collect from and about you. Please see the “Additional Information for Residents of Certain Jurisdictions” section below for more information.
Your local laws may entitle you to additional information or permit you to exercise certain rights with respect to the information we collect from and about you. Please note that your rights vary depending upon your location, and that we may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to your request as required or permitted by applicable law. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you or to comply with a legal obligation. In some circumstances, if you still ask us to delete your information, you may no longer be able to access or use our Services.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
Additional Information
If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with some additional information regarding how we collect, use, and share your “personal information” (as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)).
Throughout our Privacy Policy, we discuss in detail the personal information we collect from and about our users, the categories of sources from which we collect such information, our business or commercial purposes for collecting such information, the categories of information we share with others, and the categories of third parties with whom we share such information. You can learn more by visiting our California Privacy Notice.
The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information. Although we do not believe we engage in the sale of personal information (and have not in the past twelve months) as we currently understand such term to be defined under applicable law and relevant regulatory guidance, we do share information as described in this Privacy Policy, including with certain analytics and advertising partners who perform services like analyzing our Services and showing you ads for Spin. You can choose to limit the information shared with our analytics and advertising partners by selecting the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of our Sites or following the steps described in the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section of this Privacy Policy.
Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, the CCPA allows you (or an authorized agent acting on your behalf) to make certain requests related to your personal information. Specifically, the CCPA allows you to request us to:
The CCPA further provides you with the right not to be discriminated against (as provided in applicable law) for exercising your rights.
Certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we may retain certain information for legal compliance and to secure our Services. We may need certain information in order to provide the Services to you; if you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to use the Services.
We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request. In doing so, we may request information from you so that we can match the data you provide to us with the data we maintain. If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of these rights, or if you are an authorized agent making a request on a user’s behalf, please contact us at privacyhelp@spin.pm and include “CCPA Consumer Request” in the subject, or submit your request here.
California’s “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
NEVADA RESIDENTS
Under Nevada law, certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “personally identifiable information” for monetary consideration (as such terms are defined by Nevada law) to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. We do not engage in such activity.

Retention of Information

The Services are intended for general audiences and not for children under the age of 18 or the age of majority in the applicable region or province where you are located.

If we discover that personally identifiable information of a child has been submitted without legally valid parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.
We take measures, including the implementation of physical, technical, and managerial safeguards, to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.

You are responsible for keeping your account information—and especially your login information—confidential. We ask you not to share your login credentials with anyone.
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. We will make the revised Privacy Policy accessible through the Services, so you should review the Privacy Policy periodically. You can know if the Privacy Policy has changed since the last time you reviewed it by checking the “Effective Date” at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
